The first time I had a PayDay was from a vending machine.  I was at work, realized my blood sugar was low, and saw the vending machine, so figured that was my quickest solution.  Of course, most of it was sold out, but I saw the Payday, figured I liked peanuts enough and tried it.  Was much better than I expected, and…

An older man I used to work with, who you wouldn’t expect this from, one day mused that he noticed that for a while, phones were getting smaller and smaller, and then they started getting bigger and bigger.  He determined the reason for this was that people realized they could use their phone for pornography.

His wife is also Liz Phair’s cousin.

One of the first scientific method training exercises we went through in my elementary school was based on a similar idea, the color makeup of a bag of m&ms.  There are usually fewer orange and green than other colors.

I’ll never forget the first time Taco Bell’s menu changed crushed me... I was a child of 10. My older sister worked there, and would often bring us random food items. The most anticipated of these were the Cinnamon Crispas, fried tortilla chips coated in sugar and cinnamon. Then one day... Taco Bell changed their…

There was a pretty clear divergence at the start of season 6. At the end of season 5, they were warned about Thanos, so theoretically things were all in sync as much as they could be. It even ended in such a way that it seemed like one of the characters could’ve been dusted if he wasn’t deleted from history or just…

I hear you. My webcam setup now includes a Sony mirrorless and 30mm lens (plus lighting, mic, noise dampening foam...) so I can have amazing bokeh in Zoom calls. I was actually on a call with someone from Zoom, and they were blown away with how good my video looked.  Yeah, that’s what a thousand or so dollars can do. 

If you’re the person digitizing old episode of Supermarket Sweep, is it fair to wait until you’ve done some random number that’s “enough” or is it better to just unleash them as you have them ready?  I watched the first few over the weekend, and they’re still pretty amusing, now to see what’s changed and what hasn’t.

Feeling pretty healthy.  Can see through walls and hear outer space now.

Leave my tuna supply alone.  I’ve been living off it for the past four months, and I’m not joking.

The fact that they’re not quite right might be an easy hand-wave of why their chips didn’t function properly.  They were designed to work with a “perfect” being and just being different a little bit is enough to cause them to fail.

I tried the similar Chili’s/Maggiano’s ghost kitchen Just Wings, and their smoked wings were actually pretty good. 

I think the holograms were kind of done dirty by Voyager. In some ways, it actually felt like how we tend to do things. Data takes two steps forward for artificial life form rights, but then the Doctor is forced to take one step back. Exploring his reality vs. that of the artificial life forms with bodies would be…

When wrestler Cody Rhodes was first announced for Arrow, I thought he would’ve made a good Sportsmaster there.

I’m pretty sure this is the one I had in the early 90's. It felt so futuristic.

I’d add the Russian show Better Than Us to the list, too. It’s a good bit Humans, a little bit Westworld, with a smidge of Terminator thrown in.

They also have a hot flavor if anyone is looking for a little more spice.

For me, best and worst are easy. It’s the middle two I struggle with a bit. From best to worst:

I think there’s also a chance that Moffat originally intended Sally Sparrow and Larry Nightingale to be River’s parents, as both of their surnames are Song birds. When Carey Mulligan got too famous to be a companion, he went in a slightly different direction. 

Well, there’s Obi Wan and sort of Anakin...
