As a professional photographer, I’ve got about 3.5 TB of photos to back up (and the more and more video shoots I do, my storage requirements are piling up quickly).

Alamo has waiter service. The seats are arranged in highly stacked rows, with a counter-like ledge in front of each row of seats to hold dishes and drinks, with an aisle for the waiter in between that counter, and the row of seats below.

Here in the DC ‘burbs, many of the large multiplexes are located in these fancy “town center” style mixed-use urban development projects, which generally have paid-for parking garages. There are still plenty of stand-alone or mall-based multiplexes with acres of open (or garage) parking, but most of the best theaters…

The appeal of Alamo isn’t just the dine-in experience, though. The AMCs, Cobb, and Rave theaters around here have had dine-in, bars, and even waiter service (which is actually pretty annoying with their traditional stadium-style seating) in certain screening rooms since even before Alamo opened a couple theaters in…

Yep, I ordered my Viking Spectra rope after badly kinking my original steel cable by accidentally tightening it too much putting it away, post-recovery (a self-recovery that is still famously talked about in my Xterra/4x4 club, more than ten years on, as when asked over the CB radio if I was stuck*, I replied, “I’m…

I’ve had a spectra winch rope on my 4x4 for years. Absolutely love it. Soooo much easier to deal with than steel rope, and if it fails, I don’t have to worry about it slicing up any onlookers to a winching operation! Though, I still do use the sandbag drapes from the winch kit out of habit...

Hoo-boy, that book messed me up, when I read it as a kid.

Whoa whoa whoa - space whales?

While you’re not wrong on the probable shred-fest going on right now, it’s been FCC tradition that the sitting chair resigns their position on inauguration day (at least, when the administration changes sides). Tom Wheeler did the same on Jan 20, 2017. Nothing is out of the ordinary, here.

I believe it’s canon that Starkiller base was already under construction during Imperial times.

And that’s the problem with fandom. People take “ownership” of characters, places, universes, created by others, and rarely let them venture outside of what’s already been established.

This is absolutely acceptable to my headcanon.  Well put.

...that entire Mudhorn Clan/Sect would have been...

Sorry, everyone...I can’t help feel that this may be partially my fault.

So my HOA was just many, many years ahead of their time, when they forbid gas appliances in this neighborhood when formed/constructed in 1978?

Will I get some of the money to pay for the increased heating/ac and energy since I’m at home and not using my employer’s electricity?

As a (hilarious?) aside, I’ve apparently had “She’s a Frog Lady, she probably totally gets it.” in my clipboard all day long, and I just accidentally pasted it into a meeting chat with my entire SysOps team, and the heads of our Development teams.

She’s a Frog Lady, she probably totally gets it.

People wouldn’t eat sentient beings though.

With Secret Service ensuring he doesn’t just try to sell any worthwhile secrets the US has of course.
