I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone,” she wrote.

I went on the Pizza Hut app to see if I could pull it off. Minimum order for delivery is $17.99. I made a Big New Yorker with added sausage for $16.49. It’s impossible to add another topping because “our chefs don’t think it will taste good!” Guess I better buy more items! Well, I opted for TWO crushed red pepper…

R2 is essentially running an unbroken string of curses for the duration of the saga.

This doesn’t sound like a safe driver to have on the road. Not an excuse, just an “also”

For people with kids in the house, it should make a lot more sense to err on the side of “gun doesn’t fire.” Since it’s just me in the middle of nowhere, I’m not really in the market yet -- but I’m glad they’re making progress, and I’m definitely down to utilize the tech in the future. Seems like if you can…

I drive windows down a lot, and it feels like my situational awareness gets better since I can hear what’s going on around the car. YMMV of course.

Has anyone ruled out sophons?

I thought about doing this for a hedge. The plan was to plant a few big containers with boxwoods, and a few OTHER containers with more seasonally interesting plants (either spring bulbs, summer herbs, I dunno, I didn’t quite make it that far...). During the spring/summer I’d slot the cool stuff in there, and put the…

It stays fresh for about a month after you roast it, but (depending on the source of the beans) you do need to let it rest for a while. I grind daily, and when the hopper gets to about half I roast the next batch and rest it in a metal strainer until it smells right. Then, pour the new batch in the hopper and seal it…

Build Bridges, Not Walls.

I dunno if it’s really fair to characterize “specific adherence to the law” as a loophole. 

10. Single source coffee beans are readily available on Amazon, for pretty darn cheap. I buy them green, which stores better, and roast a batch (on a cheap roaster I also bought from Amazon) every few weeks when my grinder’s hopper gets low. I now drink better, fresher coffee, and it’s cheaper than buying grounds at…

1. The episodes themselves are worse. Starting with the “collect all sidequests” premiere, continuing through the Curse Your Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal of Pershing, and now the Space Lizzo Bottle Episode. They’re not good. They’re bad. If your characters get on a train in the first five minutes and 40 minutes…

America -- where the “Inflation Reduction Act” is a climate bill, because words don’t matter (See also: “Tik Tok Ban”)

The John Wick series benefits greatly from casting people who can actually do cool things (and/or training people to do them). Back in the 90's, you got stars like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme and Jackie Chan and Jet Li, not necessarily because they were great actors but because they could do things. Then…

Frankly if we think we might need it in 20 years, we oughta be building it today. Projects don't get more careful when they become more urgent.

If people simply mounted their TVs higher, so that they were looking UP when watching the Rings of Power, then viewership would have floated instead of sinking.
