Well, the Pearson thing hasn’t worked out for for Gina Torres, so she probably has free time! But we’d have to find a way to resurrect Wash because the world needs more Alan Tudyk.  Fillion can do with rescuing off that terrible Rookie show (or not, whatever) and I’ve not seen Kaylee, Dr Simon or River in much…

Honestly, life is a lot more pleasant if you actually go into it looking for the positives. I feel like we’re really letting perfect be the enemy of good enough with a lot of this stuff. Especially since we’re not talking about a life or death subject.

Oh yeah, you should definitely not feel like you have to buy a new knife/storage container/makeup/leggings/whatever every month because someone has made the bad choice to step into an MLM!

We have some original Tupperware that my husband got given (second hand) when he went to college.  He’s had them for well over 20 years, they get a LOT of use and look like new!  I think the problem with a lot of this stuff is that you have to separate the wheat from the proverbial chaff.  For every bit of kit that…

You have the most adorable son!

Fuck the fuck right off!!!! I know he’ll go on to bigger better things, but I AM UPSET.

100% all of this right here.  I like the occasional sports story, but if I’m honest, I’m here for the Concourse, anything with the “Life’s Rich Pageant” tag and the team’s hilarious takes on stuff.  And also the wonderful in-depth investigations or feature stories that crop up (Dvora’s gymnastics sexual abuse series…

Ooooooooh, I like that idea!  

Aw yay! Every time I see your name I imagine Miss Mercedes tearing around in various Smarts :) It’s glorious.

Just backing up what JEM is saying in terms of commenters who’s posts I always look forward to. I always appreciate your input on issues.

I’ve been rewatching TNG and hooooooly shit had I forgotten how bad Season 1 was.  Horndog is really the best descriptor for Riker.  He’s quite the slimeball.

I have 3 German T(h)orstens at the office. I’m actually mad that this dude is dragging their good name down.

I work in the industry, and (like with any other) there is always a push to automate, “simplify” and streamline.  If your job is anything like what a lot of our offshore operational centers are doing (data entry, transcription etc) you NEED to upskill yourself in some way.  There was a point where paying some poor…

The only explanation I can think of is that it’s a clarification for young children? Hubble popping out for a quick looksee at whatever seems like kid logic. Like cows having shorter legs one side to stop them from toppling off mountainsides and whatnot.

I think it’s also a very North American thing to tumble dry everything? (sorry if you’re not in NA!) In Europe, it’s really common to wash and line dry. I don’t know whether it’s space driven, but a lot of us barely have space for a washing machine (lots of shared laundries in cities), let alone a dryer.  The upside…

I think my generation (born ‘82) is probably the first to have mandatory touch typing lessons. Prior to that, the strong typists were actual typists/secretaries etc who actually specialised in that domain. My mother was a secretary in the 70s and is an incredibly quick and accurate typist! My husband graduated just a…

I used to do a lot of online presentations for an old job, and literally just had L/R stickers on either side of the screen.  I seem to have gotten marginally better at winging it, but most of the time, it takes a tick to compute!  Looking at the length of this thread, you’re definitely not alone!

I think it’s the Beyond. I couldn’t finish it. Something about the texture/consistency creeped me out and was just... weird? Like I don’t actually need it to be a facsimile of meat. I’m ok just going full veg.

I’m not 100% sure which one is available here, Impossible or Beyond. I’m not super keen on them though. For me, they’re like the uncanny valley of burgers? I’d rather go full veg and have some kind of soy or veg patty, or then just have meat. My husband loves them though!

I feel like this needs it’s own article!
