I think using qualifiers such as “First Timer” and “Non-Actor Athlete” he did very well in the taped segments. In the live sketches he was no Barkley or Manning but as a supporting actor was lively, tried his best and not stiff (I agree about wooden man-toy Jason). I appreciate they saw his strengths and wrote with…

Best? He was energetic and game for whatever they threw at him, but focused all his eyeline on cue cards and bungled even single lines. The cast did all the heavy lifting. Above average for a first timer and athlete but I have to strongly disagree about best, especially after Pascal just melded with the cast like he…

Apple Fan Girl (for decades), and I do recognize examples like USB-C are valid, though others you list come off as: “I used to use __________ on my other device and now I have this device, but the platform and configs are not the same as the old one I liked so much.” This happens everywhere and not an Apple issue,…

I tried the recipe with oil and I get the difference, but like you, prefer the fudge texture over the cake-like one—also need less of a portion with the butter one because it is so rich.

And they walk right past you, rather than take a bite because...Américain, pffff!

Back in the day a friend had built an Altair 8800 from a kit which I was hoping would be on the list, it was a lot of binary and switches as I recall. I remember the Apple II I used as a nice introduction; I learned a little basic and played the goofiest low res games but mostly it taught me not to be technophobic.…

Aha, thank you for correcting my mistake.  I misread this sentence “Fogle’s earliest possible release will be in 2029" as a early release allowable with parole and I clearly did not understand how the Federal system works. How does some of his cohorts get 33 years and he gets less? Or is his early release based on the…

I am itching for anything I haven’t seen before no matter where the locale or place in history. NO argument on the NFT thing but why shoot down something you’ve never even seen? You don’t have a short block of time to watch and then pass judgement? It isn’t as if he hasn’t made a few good contributions to pop culture…

I agree, this Sociopath who doesn’t have a drop of remorse would just go deeper and more undercover to feed his needs. I could not have done what she did, listen to that shitbird deviant for more than a single phone conversation but her aim was true. She did want to bust him and with a little more diligence on the…

I didn’t really think about it until I just read your post and I would have to agree. What was more disgusting is he never seems to have any guilt or remorse—sociopathic mentality, so how is he getting parole options in 6 years?

I didn’t realize they were modular which does make a difference, though if not a screen issue, the repair may be more complicated. I get the larger multiplexes in more urban areas will have ways of making it work since they have spare modules, extra auditoriums and service near the site, but for instance, the locally…

Claire there are still a bunch of us who know and love you, and remember your various and sundry hacks/tips/recipes and testing trials here through the years. Just made Barefoot Contessa’s Outrageous Brownies which were easy and damn delicious and have used a Trader Joe’s Truffle Brownie Boxed mix, both of which use…

That sounds delicious; for some reason I missed that secret ingredient along the way, but Grazie!

With the way it fluctuates, despite the ability to hide from certain regulators, who wants to place their trust in something time and time again which is the equivalent of invisible ink? Into Thin Air should be the motto..

No worries, I saw a Kirk photo and went right to the well for my reference. I see what you did there—-don’t think I have seen War Games (Matthew was so young, as was I..) since the original run, but I am sure the line in the film was lodged somewhere in the cobwebs of the windmills of my mind, I just remember “SHALL…

You are not being bold, you and many others, including me, felt the funny. I am not sure what the reviewer was watching but he missed half the sketches and didn’t seem to connect with good ones.

I don’t know what this reviewer was seeing but you are right about this episode. The other thing is 1, 2, 4 days later, I watched some of these sketches again (Waking Up, Lisa From Temecula and Italian Waiters) and they hold up... Funny, maybe even funnier, the second time around. Pedro Pascal was a charmer and a blast…

Interesting, though not sure about targeted users since wouldn’t money launderers and drug dealers not want to do business in a mainstream manner in an exposed public place since there are prying eyes and transaction records, etc? Sounds like I am way late to the conversation but from your account it was something…

Aha, thank you for taking the time to explain; it makes sense, you would need to set up a designation and confirmation method beforehand—couldn’t just walk up, buy,  and then figure out the particulars later.

Ahem, I am an ST OG..
