There are definitely candy options that are more ‘Christmas’ I would definitely say anything commonly enjoyed year round doesn’t count but that obviously comes down to personal semantics.

It always surprised me that, with the American love for pecan pie, no butter tart equivalent ever really took hold there.

Yeah it’s the same thought as being a touring musician.

Can you make money on tours from ticket sales alone? If you’re insanely popular, otherwise expect it to break even at best and likely cost you money.

It’s a pretty solid bet there’s more to it given her adoptive status. 

It’s always nice when science backs up folklore. The old folks always said the band-aid for bad coffee (and flat beer) was a pinch of salt. 

Well looks like I can add being right about Percy revealing Huck’s duplicity... though everyone found it out without him anyway.

I’ll admit it wasn’t a thought until this episode but I’m surprised that they didn’t pull out Huck and Hope being actual sisters. I suppose there’s still time to go with that twist but I…

It is great that they’re offering the option but I *really* wish companies would stop trying to phrase it as being about work/life balance. Balance is about how they assign work and their expectation and requirements around it. It has nothing to do with where that work gets done. 

Well I called Huck as the mole. Agreed on her being the killer of Tony - Percy saw and, while she thinks she got him, he’s going to turn out to have survived and return to accuse her. (Normally I’d say ‘when dramatically appropriate’ but this show doesn’t seem to understand that concept)

Maximum Carnage hits a nostalgia sweet spot for me though I think even if I try and set that aside I’d rate it a little higher.

I do note that the list is missing all the Game Boy games - none are standouts that really need to be discussed but the list is lacking. 

How nice of the person in the photo to just outright label themselves with a pawn tattoo....

I don’t think Michael telling Saru that he did the right thing was so much about showing approval as it was about showing acceptance. She knows she pushed things too far, she knows how hard demoting her is to Saru despite all this, she knows how much she hurt him, so being open about accepting it puts that weight back…

Love or hate canned cranberry sauce, that’s a personal issue, but who in the world is serving it as a dessert? That is just utterly baffling. 

The office group likely did not have any members as they had already been targeted and were dying off before Dwight and Al stumbled across the antibiotics. The saboteur may once have been part of their group but I doubt they stuck around with the plague if so.

While ‘con-man with a heart of gold’ is a cliche in the hands of a fun actor, like Adsit, it actually makes for something interesting and enjoyable to watch. So of course they killed him off ASAP.... 

It’s always been a plot cheat. Beskar is resistant to blaster fire (and even lightsaber strikes) 

They mean in the time between Mando dropping frog lady off and his return from the Quarren incident. Lots of time there to fertilize. 

Somewhere a die-hard capitalist screams in outrage and does not understand why. 

Honestly, while I get why people are frustrated at Michael, I have to say it isn’t anything new for Trek. Most of the captains have had the same approach - it just works better for them since they *are* in command. With Michael we get to see what happens when that certainty/arrogance hits roadblocks. 

I’m amused that this is apparently the hill where my brain’s pedanticism chooses to die on.
‘Vegan milk substitutes can be called milks?’
‘Sure.’
‘Vegan ice cream substitutes can be called ice creams?’
‘Yep!’
‘So a shake made of vegan milk and vegan ice cream is a milkshake.’
‘There’s no such thing!’

Also, even as a non-parent, I can fully understand wanting to be able to give your children a treat - especially if things are at a point where you need EBT. No matter how hard life might be you still want to try to make it as happy and normal for them as you can.
