...so take a small step and practice until you’re better at it, and then repeat that until you can’t get better anymore? Has anyone alerted the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences about this world-shattering approach?

The tone of this article is sickening. Just write, “He’s not Bernie, so I hate him no matter he does or says” and be done with it. Even Buttigieg himself assumed he was a longshot and only, like, just recently managed to get noticed. And he formally announced three days ago that he’s running. The primary election is a…

These all prove that actual functioning AI is a long, long ways a way. Freaking Google has, well, all of Google at it’s fingertips, and with the clue “it has wheels,” Semantris chose “ocean” over “motorcycle.” “You learn new things there” made it choose “radio” over “school.”

I recognize that it must be near-impossible to keep the magic going after nine seasons, but the last handful of Bob’s Burgers episodes has been pretty lackluster. This one is another that feels like it’s a bunch of elements from earlier episodes spackled together into a new-ish configuration, which is maybe not bad…

Man, they should have scrapped the mess that was last week’s episode and used this as the Valentine’s episode instead. Swap in a Valentine’s Day dance, and there you go: love, self-acceptance, acceptance of others—classic Bob’s Burgers V Day episode. You could even keep the zombies; it makes just as much sense as a…

Bob’s Burgers usually has stellar Valentine’s Day episodes, but this one was a bit of miss for me. These “the kids tell three ridiculous stories” episodes are also usually pretty good, but this one (though it had a few solid jokes) was sort of one-note and felt like it just beat the same gag into the ground and dragged…

I always have to laugh that Star Trek characters are so familiar with 20th century Earth pop culture. Tilly’s favorite song is ~300 years old and, wouldn’t you know it, Stamets also just happens to be a David Bowie fan.

I just finished the show last night and will definitely be rewatching, partially to try to figure out how Horse fits into everything. How does this theory jibe with him willing to take advantage of a totally desperate/super-drunk Alan, giving him more intoxicants and demanding more money even after Alan had already…

Wasn’t there some passing mention of a Yuko uprising at some point? Clearly, they are not entirely happy with their lot. 

From what I’ve read, the reason third-party docks fry the Switch is because they can’t properly regulate (limit?) the power being supplied to the system. The way to fix this is to only ever use the official Nintendo power supply. For on-the-go Switch use, I have a tiny little HDMI/USB-C adapter dock thingy and power…

I agree. This was a weak finale to a very frenetic season. It’s still a fantastic show, way above most other shows, but this whole season felt like a slapdash version of the show they established in the first two seasons. I think they took the praise for the constant premise shifting a little too much to heart and it…

George H.W. Bush was standing in your kitchen when he died?

Copy editors: What are they?

The problem is that Amazon is trying to use its own shipping service, which is just a bunch of people delivering stuff in their personal cars, and it’s destroying their entire system—which I don’t think they saw coming.

I’m always so amazed that any article on any site that’s about weight loss draws in the world’s preeminent nutritionists, doctors, psychologists, sociologists, and fitness experts who are all so eager to share the results of their years of exhaustive study and research in the comments. You are truly doing the world a…

While I loved this episode (and also *loved* every minute of D’arcy Carden), I feel like this was a disappointing turn as a whole for the trajectory of the story. The Good Place, as a show, seemed on course to be arguing that many people’s idea of the afterlife—eternal punishment or eternal reward based only the ~80…

That’s why I said semi-villain. Antagonist, maybe. He’s never a positive force for Tina in any story he appears. And in both The Millie-Churian Candidate and this episode, he is the actual villain of the story.

He’s only been in like four episodes, but I think Henry Haber is my favorite Bob’s Burgers semi-villain and one of my favorite side characters. Possibly because I knew a few Henry Habers growing up, and his character rings so true: too smart for his own good and medically unable to work in group projects.

I’ve worked from home for years now. It took me a few before I understood how crucial the “dedicated work space” thing is. I’m lucky enough to have a separate room now that I use for my office, but just making a spot where you always work and that is only for work (not on the couch, not at the kitchen table,…

I love Overcast overall, but especially for the “voice boost” feature. I often listen to podcasts both when showering/getting ready (waterproof speaker) and while driving. Voices tend to get drowned out by shower and road noise, especially deeper voices and/or those who don’t enunciate super-clearly, and that boost…

California has special light bulb requirements, apparently. If you’re in CA, Amazon will only ship you the the special version for CA residents, which of course is not discounted.
