Weirdly enough, I view it in the same light as Alien: Resurrection, in that it is clearly a collision between an American auteur screenwriter (Joe Eszterhas for Showgirls, Joss Whedon for Alien), and a visionary European auteur director (Paul Verhoeven and Jean-Pierre Jeunet) with wildly divergent perspectives on what…

After his conversations with Jon during their trip beyond the wall, I think Beric’s role will end up being to attempt and fail at something (like killing the Night King), allowing Jon to learn and successfully commit the same act at a later time. The 2 of them are the Lord of Light’s trial and error process.

Worked at a theater for years. The popcorn was cooked in artificially colored canola oil. The “butter” topping is artificially flavored soybean oil. The yellow color comes from the flavored salt we added during popping.

Incidentally, you’ll need to open port 65536 if you wish to communicate with the Sumerian Blood God’s network.

I think there should be an option for Jon learning his true identity right away, then withholding that info from Dany for X amount of time.

Zero Bar

I see your 5th Avenue, and raise you a Clark Bar. Basically the same argument you made about its superiority to Butterfinger, but I’ve always thought the Clark Bar had a slightly better flavor than 5th Avenue. Though I very much enjoy both.

Yep. One summer a couple of them nested in the landscaping directly outside one of the entryway doors at my office park. The company I worked for owned the office park at the time, so we kept getting complaints about goose attacks from our tenants. But frustratingly, the DNR had a small annex office in the park, and…

About damn time. I literally used it this morning, and it was still the same janky old interface that I’ve hated for years. I saw this post, fired up Gmail to check it, and the nice new menu had arrived! So much nicer.

Alternate method: dump a cup of hot cocoa in the empty pb jar, shake vigorously, then pour into a mug or glass. Drink warm or cold, depending on your preference. Jar is now 95% clean, and a quick hot water rinse will finish it off nicely.

Yeah, Ubiquiti’s UniFi stuff is not very user-friendly for the average consumer, so I’ve always assumed that’s why it didn’t show up on many “Best of” lists for wifi gear. But any time I have a wifi equipment talk with other network admins, Ubiquiti is the only brand anyone talks about.

I’ve heard that the AmpliFi gear tends to top out at 500mb/s, though. Granted, that’s not an issue that many people are going to run in to, but it could suck if you’re paying for a gigabit connection. The UniFi line handles gigabit beautifully, though.

I feel the same about Fessenden as I do about Mick Garris: while I’m very so-so on the films they’ve directed, I am deeply appreciative of the genuine love and support they put into the genre. 

I think it's worth noting that the 8" Lenovo is often on sale for the same price as the Hub, and that extra 1" of screen actually makes a huge difference in visibility. I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal until I set the two next to each other.

You can save recipes, but only via voice command. "Hey Google, save this recipe" and "... Show me my recipes", I believe.

Philistine!

I’ll go to bat for the whole original quadrilogy. The first 2 films are classics. 3 & 4 are messes, but they are glorious messes, the kind only truly creative people can make. 3 tried to be something completely unique from the other films, and it was absolutely NOT what audiences wanted. And Resurrection is…

For as terrible a financial institution as Wells Fargo is, they at least have card-free ATM access via their mobile app. It’s now the only way I get cash from an ATM. 

Another vote for the Whirley Pop. I pop my kernels in olive oil, which gives the popcorn a nice, even buttery taste. And I use ultra-fine ground salt, which clings to the popcorn much better than table salt.

Frisky Dingo referenced that death in its final episode, and now I can’t watch that McConaughey scene without thinking “I wonder what his overall plan was?”
