Rule for passengers: if you’re in the back seat and want the window down, make sure someone else is also willing to roll theirs down. If you can’t have a second window down, it causes a quick fluctuation of air pressure in the car called “strudeling” and it’s uncomfortable for others in the car (especially the…

Seeing Albert at the end of the episode was the most heartbreaking thing to me. He appears to be ready to execute Barry, in defiance of his discipline as a Marine and his responsibilities for systematic justice as a man of the law. He felt indebted on some level to Barry, I think. Berry provided first aid after he was…

I, for one, am looking forward to Rick Beato and Adam Neely covering this in videos. Some time after NAAM hype has dies down, of course.

I’m late here, but if anyone is still looking, I think Barry offered his services to Sally because she sounds to him like one of the many “amateurs” that have been hiring him lately.

I thought of it as being more about Dr. Grant’s pragmatism. Need to shock the ground to get some imaging? Shoot it. Annoying kid at a dig? Scare him by describing nature. Seatbelt won’t buckle? Tie it. Want to see some eggs in the lab but you’re stuck on the ride? Break the ride and get off. Electric fence in your…

Wolfenstein 3D on PC was great. I’d take the keyboard and my friend would take the mouse. It takes some communication for sure, but basically you let mouse guy do the gunning and steering until you reach an enemy with an automatic weapon.

As a fellow person who doesn’t like chocolate, greetings.

1. This is rad.

I think they’re pretty close when you narrow the spectrum of availability to what they had in a small city grocery store in the mid 1990s, which was my point of reference for my comment. Then again, you may be right. I’ve never had warm bologna nor a cold hot dog so far as I can remember so I’ve always kind of assumed…

I’m definitely thinking about the supermarket version of both, so I agree and I’m glad to hear from someone who tried it!

I agree. But that’s because I’m generally thinking about something like the Oscar Mayer version of both like someone below talks about.

This kinda feels like something Bender would have done on an episode of Futurama.

I think it has to do with Barry’s loss of grip on reality. I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this stuff wasn’t just Barry’s imagination running wild when he first enters the acting class to find his mark. He’s an “Ice Machine” ex-Marine from the Midwest with a ridiculous job, so his views on the reality of life in…

Tim Pierce did an extended interview with Ray Parker Jr. about 3 years ago on his YouTube channel where they talk about Ray’s history as a session guitarist and the way the Ghostbusters theme came about:

I agree. If it’s grilled, some char marks are good. A dry hot dog is bad, which is why low-fat hotdogs are terrible (along with the low fat throwing off the spice flavors).

This article goes where these debates always go - how much freedom are we willing to exchange for security? It always stalls there because as an individualistic culture, it’s hard to reach consensus. Sometimes it’s about guns, sometimes it’s about surveillance technology, sometimes it’s about speech, sometimes it’s…

I wish they’d bring back the tostada as it was.

I’m not sure his generation is ready or willing to really wrap their heads around that. It probably hasn’t occurred to many of them--it’s amazing how many of us just follow what the people close to us do without considering it, and they’re no different.

Whether he’s right or wrong about Google, his concerns probably represent the concerns of his generation. They were skeptical of the Internet when it was new an different, so it was marketed to them as digital alternatives to analog reality. Mail became e-mail. Stores and newspapers became websites. It was called the…

This has nothing to do with Big Macs and health. It has everything to do with sticking to something silly that doesn’t really affect anyone else most of the time, and I respect it. Apparently it drives a number of people crazy, though.
