I make the Foodspin French Toast quite a bit. It’s more the custard mix I’ve changed because I’m too chickenshit / dull / whatever to try stale bread.

I had to do a double take at the Keurig Baby formula maker. Ehh, that’s too much work (or at least it was when the twins were infants).

Your mom is such a big (deal) that she had to register with the USGS everytime she moves (because she works there as a seismologist and you should always have your current address on file.)

Anecdote: I took my S5 (which has the same waterproofing features) for a “fall” into a pool for my Ice Bucket Challenge (so stupid, I know), but it really does work. While the phone was still wet and with wet hands, the haptic touch surface was very nonresponsive. But I did get a few selfies in the pool after I fell…

No, one of my friends, who is a former cop, posted this unironically to his FB. He’s a nice man in person but posts some of the wackest shit. *sigh*

Anybody care to weigh in on HamNo’s escalator rant? Is it OK to stand? Is it OK to walk? Is it OK to just use the elevator? Is it OK to try to slide down the handrail to your inevitable doom?

No lunks! *rings bell*

I have had my car for just under 3 years and have put 42K on it. slightly more than 14K miles a year. The first year or so I would drive it to get the kids to nap (1-2 year olds love car rides—or at least mine do) and it was not unsual to do two of those 100mi drives each weekend. Plus 40 mile round trip to work 5…

I would attend this church.

For the machine you have to build? I was able to place everything on a cleared pad at Sanctuary. Then I think you have to run power to each component. I think I needed two 10-unit generators to be able to power everything, which I purpose-built for it. I string those together and then run everything. There’s only two…

This might be the dumb question, but how does one disengage the size meter? I can build some pretty big stuff but it seems like I run up the size meter before I get too carried away.

Ohh yeah, we’re doing pretty good. Things are hectic at work. Twins’ birthday and Halloween was pretty spectacular. I’ll chime in again, I promise.

Nah, one of my favorite parts was in NFS: Most Wanted (2005) was the car customization. Neon colors and decals of any size, placed anywhere on the car? Yeah, gimme, gimme, gimme!

I bought it and gave up after game 15. I may revisit it now that I’ve perused the forums but yeah, hard as hell.

+1 touch to the head of Adrian Beltre. As a Rangers’ fan, I laugh-cried at this comment.

2011 World Series, my beloved Texas Rangers vs. The Cardinals Way. My children had just been born during the ALCS between Detroit & Texas. With twins, my wife and I worked out a method to those first few weeks where we would take shifts during the night where we would be the primary caregiver for the newborns. My…

Dangit, I read the book three times and don’t possibly know what you’re talking about (Re: MAV). And that’s OK. Really looking forward to seeing this movie soon.

To be fair, COD: Ghosts was one of the more depressing games.

SPOILER ALERT for the two-year old single-player campaign.

I mean, the entire US nearly obliterated by kinetic missiles. LA and the coast being built up like D-Day beaches. The final mission when you finally kill the bad guy was deeply unsatisfying to me.

They buried a time capsule at Marion Earl Elementary School in Las Vegas, NV in 1987 / 1988. It was made by the Timet Corporation IIRC so it was a titanium case buried under the front lawn. I was one of the students that helped bury it but everything I’ve googled about it there is nothing mentioned. I think they were…

“Throw me some fucking food!!!” —the fucking sunfish.
