Way on back in the days of yore, my mom’s 88 Sentra (an early fuel injection model) would knock until we put midgrade in it. So it became standard for us to put midgrade (usually Amoco Silver). Later after I inherited that car in the late 90s, I started putting premium 93 octane in it to keep the engine going.…

These were EXCELLENT burgers, especially by McD’s standards. It’s a shame that the educational foci in the United States is so slanted and politically motivated that large swaths of this nation cannot understand the notion that 1/3 is more than 1/4 and these burgers were brought to an end.

The worst decision they made with the D+ shows is to not follow what made the Netflix shows work and just have the characters existing in the same universe but unconnected to the plot threads of the main movies. The first batch of D+ shows wasted a lot of time setting up character intros (Photon, Sam as the new Cap,…

I had one recently and enjoyed it. I think they put too many jalepeño coins for my liking. I feel like it only needs 3 or so (akin to how they do pickles since this more or less takes the place of pickles), but that was my only real complaint. The cheese sauce was good, the bacon was a nice addition, and the beef they…

I liked it. Yes, it was formulaic and it does stink of the modern Disney approach to put IP above all else, but that’s OK. It ticks most of the boxes of what you want from an Indiana Jones adventure. I honestly don’t need a ton of emotional heft from these movies. Give me a solid action adventure movie with…

I am in Central Jersey and bagels have been back on the menu at most McD’s for a while. I had a steak bagel recently and while the bagel is low quality in comparison to what you can get at any respectable local bagel shop around here, that is a good sandwich. I haven’t noticed the breakfast sauce, probably because I…

Forget these. Please just give me the chance to buy those Tapatio ones. That’s what I want.

IDK, Jersey Mikes slices everything for your sandwich right when you order it and it doesn’t really add a ton of time to the process. If you make your processes good (one person working the slicer, another putting on the toppings and assembling the sandwich), it will be fine.

I’ve really started to wonder if these super sized episodes this season are really the writers shoving two seasons worth of story into one. You can have the writers tell me this was always planned for three seasons, but it really feels to me like it was planned for four (or more) and that maybe this season would have…

I guess what I’m looking for in this show is just completely different than what you are looking for in this show, which I suppose is fair game. I do agree that some of these plot points are a bit too neatly resolved, but I still get what I want out of this show. It leaves me feeling good at the end of an episode,…

This episode really had the “very special episode” vibe that you used to get from the one or two episodes of a sitcom every year in the 1980s that the network told them had to focus on some societal issue. I get what they were trying to go with, but they didn’t explore the right beats for it to be satisfying. I will…

Once you hand the reins of something to Filoni, this is exactly where it was always headed. Unfortunately the big thing in big tentpole properties these days is always tie it back to something you know. That’s why Andor was so refreshing (and honestly so was Rogue One, which was fed by a very known story and links…

There were lots of threads that they really left hanging because they weren’t useful in that moment of the story anymore (hello Elia Kane, I would have enjoyed more time getting your story), but this one they did tie up nicely:

Naturally they are going to charge more for 4K HDR streaming quality. I want that quality, I’m annoyed that I will have to pay more. I just got a very nice modern 4K TV earlier this year, and I want that increased picture quality.

I think there’s been subtle inference, but no open admission of it. It will not surprise me if Trent ends up protecting his secret both out of growth (after his encounter with Roy, who clearly now respects him in his Roy way) and understanding (because he understands how difficult it is to be a gay man in sport).

We all know the only way it will ever happen at this point is for the Government to make it a mandatory standard. Telcos have little incentive to spend on implementing what is essentially a Google scheme at this point and Apple has no incentive to encourage it in their world because blue bubbles are still a selling…

Most people looking for Macs probably aren’t here for gaming. If you’re serious about gaming, you’re likely looking at a gaming focused Windows machine, either as a desktop or a gaming portable. Also, the port situation is fine, and we’re really at the point of needing to ask why peripheral makers are still using…

Or, you can be like me. I use Apple Music... because it’s included with my Verizon plan so I’ll take that over paying the 10 bucks a month for Spotify. I still miss the original Google Play Music service. YTM has gotten better over time, but GPM was an amazing music service that got unceremoniously dumped because no…

Yes! Was in the series of novels that Shatner wrote.

I have good memories of going to Chi-Chis as a kid in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There were some in Central NJ that were decently successful. I think the main reason most people who were kids in those days remember it so fondly was because of the fried ice cream they had for dessert.
