This is what I was wondering. Perhaps dementia sets in earlier than we thought and one of the first visible signs of it is decreased interest in oral or physical health.

What’s interesting is that I was able to find that spot within a couple of minutes because I’m more familiar with the US interstate system and knew that Riverside is in California. The trickiest part for me on that one was that I15 is (for the most part) a North/South road, so you would expect a road that junctions…

I’m more offended by the inconsistency of the direction. Four cops enter the room and are shown standing behind granny, but there’s only cop shooting and getting kicked. Where did the other three cops go?

I’ve played a lot of board games online over the last year, but they don’t really compare to being able to actually get together and play games together. Plus, while most of the online services are decent, they’re still incredibly clunky compared to being able to actually move pieces around with your hands.

When I worked at a movie theatre, this was always the correct way. It was easier for us because the butter was behind the counter, but that was always the best way to do it. It should be salted a bit in the middle, too.

I also think it helps them stay in the zeitgeist. Think about how much of television discussion the last nine months has been driven by Mandalorian/WandaVision/Falcon/Loki. When’s the last time a Netflix show drove conversation for more than a couple weeks? Stranger Things?

I feel like it’s worth adding here that the episodes are eleven minutes long and each season is ten episodes, so “binging” a season in this case is like watching a two-hour movie. As you say, you can watch an entire season for family movie night.

I used to think the same thing until I moved into a 100-year old house in the city and realized that a dozen other houses in the neighborhood (including both our neighbors’) are exactly the same except for the front porch and finishes.

Look at the screenshot. All of those videogames and books were 2019 releases. And the movies are either 2019 releases or DVD/Blu-Ray rips.

It sounds like his full-time job was taking other people’s work and selling it for his own profit.  This wasn’t even a case of operating an archive to access materials no longer in print. As the screenshot shows, the most popular roms and downloads on the page were mostly same-year releases.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is an interesting game to me because it has, indeed, aged poorly but, at the same time, you see all the elements of future games there. You play it saying, “How did they make Uncharted 2 out of this,” while at the same time saying, “Of course this is the precursor to Uncharted 2.”

“How to display your books like a more sophisticated adult.”

I, too, make my threes this way after I broke my pinkie in middle school.  Thank God I’ve not yet passed the Jeopardy test.

Why not just use a plunger-style tube?

I really wish we had a games and fandom culture that allowed a person to say, “That thing you like? I get it, but it’s not for me,” and have that be acceptable.  Hollow Knight is a little better than most for this, but there are a still a lot of people who insist that if you don’t like the game it’s because you just…

I know this might not be the advice you’re looking for, but Hollow Knight is a game I absolutely recommend letting go if you’re not enjoying it. I powered through it enough to get the Platinum trophy, but it didn’t really get fun until 20+ hours in and, Jesus, who has the time for that? I now enjoy the game through…

I think the FHA is a much worse loan product without many more benefits. For example, a 5% down payment will get most buyers a conventional mortgage. With a conventional mortgage, your PMI is going to be much lower (we’re paying $50/mo on a $300k loan with a conventional whereas it would be $212/mo with an FHA loan.).…

“The one with 98.1% reflectivity.”

After thinking about this a fair bit too much, I’ve come to the conclusion that there was likely an extended storyline with Chandler and Reddick that was cut for time (or some other reason).
