I actually have the first 108 paperbacks in the Destroyer series. Excellent popcorn fiction overall. Very much a genre satire. The evolving relationship between Remo and Master Chiun was the main reason I kept reading them. The movie did what it could to capture that.. and is a guilty-pleasure watch around my house to…
‘Keasbey Nights’ by Catch-22 is one of my all time fave ska albums.
Hell, anything Tomas Kalnoky has done (be it earlier Catch-22, Streetlight Manifesto, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, etc) is worth a listen.
John Prine first sang to me from my father’s Pioneer turntable when I was a boy in southeastern Kentucky, in the ‘70's.
Based on the “I get paid by the government.” line, I half-suspect she doesn’t have a job to lose. That sounds suspiciously close to “I’m on the dole.”
Read the caption for the headline pic. Honest first reaction: Botany Bay?!
As a long-time Contigo enthusiast, I can attest to these being incredible mugs. They keep drinks hot/cold for hours, they are virtually spill-proof, and the recent models are even dishwasher safe.
The only caveat I’d offer is this: if you plan to use a dishwasher with these, check the model to ensure it’s dishwasher…

I agree. Especially after buying the full Baldur’s Gate/BD2, Neverwinter Nights Icewind Dale/Planescape Torment remastered special collector’s edition for PS4.
I mean, yes it came with some semi-neat swag (you could murder a DM with the metal dice alone and the memory foam squishy skull has become my favorite stress…
I’ve always been rather fond of this one:
“Now it’s over, I’m dead and I haven’t done anything that I want
Or I’m still alive and there’s nothing I want to do.”
SO glad to see Armada mentioned! I still have a dedicated Windows XP machine (air-gapped from the world) just to play Armada / Armada II, Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, Blade Runner, and others from the mid to late 90's and early Aught’s.
I guess the level of evil depends on whether the trap uses the correct order of operations to get the right answer.
If the trap uses the “correct” way, and the person burning alive can remember PEDMAS/BODMAS/BEDMAS they might get out pretty quickly like so:
230*10+2
230x10=2300
+2
= 2302
Leafly has an interesting article about how vitamin E ended up in so many THC vape cartridges here:
“However, they are my ride or die ugly cry band. I’m a dude in my forties. I navigated the 90's with a couple huge breakups sprinkled in. The Counting Crows and (more obscure) Peter Gabriel “Secret World Live” double album were what I listened to when I was supposed to get in my feelings.”
Zeke, one dude in his forties…
This reminds me of Kyle Hill at the end of his ‘Because Science’ segments, where he says “Thanks for watching, [insert random name here]!”
The first time he said “Thanks for watching, Thom!” it was a jarring, but pleasant surprise.
“The whiz-bang part of all this is the memory function, which Chevy says allows the driver to program as many as 1,000 locations so that the suspension automatically lifts the front of the car based on its GPS location.”
As long as your GPS is running with practically no lag, and the lift can engage in half a second or…
