Wouldn't it be better to start with the solids and then the liquids? I recall Alton Brown's weight loss episode including that advice so that the blades have more to work on.

Beat me to it.

YES.

I got ridiculously lucky that the paid bench time clause of my contract kicked in when my paperwork slipped. I was “on paid leave” for 10 weeks while they found me another assignment. I had a whole list of projects lined up and I spent almost all that time watching puppy videos and surfing the internet. So, I think,…

This man is one of my culinary and style heroes. Thank you, Andy.

At that point most of my statements begin with "No, it doesn't work that way." Simple short words everyone can understand or GTFO.

I wish more people thought about this before replying all at work.

Oh, corgis. I have one and now I want another.

Oh my god. I have been meaning to get out and get this done with. I had to move to a different continent right about the time most kids learn to ride, and here I am now in a town with some pretty nice trails and some jealousy.

Friend of mine called it Amazon Prime Big Lots. Appropes.

I wish there was some means of checking out at the end of the day instead of dozens of transactions.

I would play the living daylights out of Kratos versus Kali

Dammit, Crumcast. They're the only ISP in town that offers higher than 12 Mbps and until that changes I can't quit them.

I wonder if you’ll be limited to the channels you currently subscribe to. I just downgraded my Crumcast subscription because the bill was getting ridiculous and I got HBO Now instead. But if this $15 a month gives me access to BBC America shows without actually having to pay for the regular monthly subscription ....…

Yessss. John Scalzi, yesssss.

My corgi is almost instantly asleep in the car. Unless you're near the Magical Whipped Cream Place (Starbucks).

Keep an egg timer or something similar nearby. You may find yourself spending over 5 minutes discussing action plans/decisions, overanalyzing things make a long game less fun.

Battlestar Galactica was a popular choice for my local gaming friends for years. We found out who were scary-good liars. Thankfully, one of the few instances Mr. Vic lies to me is when he's the Cylon.

Good point. Kind of depends on the mover, though? I packed a lot of the media in medium-sized boxes and they just stacked them five to a dolly and wheeled them out. They were $75 an hour or so and they were done in 4 hours (I had a lot less crap back then, though, but still, two geeks' worth of media)

DIY moving was fine for across town moves when it was just my stuff in a studio apartment. Ten years later with a spouse, a few pieces of non-IKEA furniture and a corgi? Nuh-uh. Nope. I hired professional movers and a truck for a cross-town for $300 total and I almost sobbed in relief.
