I was thinking his chest looks like an inflatable sumo suit.

I lived in Wichita for six years. It’s a perfectly fine Midwest city.

As Thor gives us a voice-over intro, we get a few images of younger Thors running through a forest, for some reason. It’s very silly, but we do get a glimpse of a retro Thor costume, complete with yellow wraps for shoes, goofy helmet, and weird belt!

In New York City, where G/O and the author are based, heat and water are often included in rent because the buildings are old and not metered for individual unit use. I’ve seen it once in a newer building, with water, and it was just split up based on that month’s usage. Since it was water, though, it didn’t fluctuate…

I love all these homebuying articles about how Millennials are doing things weird or wacky that cite no actual data and, like, two anecdotes to declare that *THIS IS THE NEW HOTNESS AND WE SHOULD ALL TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.*

The three powdered formulas, Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare, were all produced by Abbott Nutrition at a production facility in Michigan.

I think the closest thing we have is that our baby gate keeps her from going into the kitchen (there’s an open stairwell on the other side) so we’ve kind of trained her to pick up her trash and dishes because any time she throws something away or rinses her dishes, she gets to go in the kitchen where she’s not allowed…

This is a complicated topic with a bunch of different variables beyond immediate returns, but this math is a little fuzzy:

These articles come up every month or so and they are all based on the same bad data or faulty interpretations of statistics.

Sorry I was unclear. There are only 9 spots. It’s currently 5 Trump, 3 Biden, 1 open. One of the Trump spots and the open spot are both up for replacement (the expiring Trump appointee is serving until his replacement is confirmed). Once they’re confirmed it will be 5 Biden, 4 Trump.

This is the case. Right now, the Board consists of 5 Trump and 3 Biden appointees with one open slot waiting to be confirmed. One of the Trump appointees’ term ended in December and his replacement is also waiting to be confirmed. They just don’t have the votes yet.

I really don’t get why everybody assumes NYT will start charging for Wordle. Their whole Games business model is like a crack dealer: the first taste is free.

This reminds me of Summoning Salt’s video on the player trying to get all of the Mario Kart 64 records and the entire community teaming up to stop him. In particular, I like his conclusion,

My wife and I did Noom for about 3 months. I lost 20 pounds, she lost 15. We’ve kept it off for about 3 months since while backing off the intensity. The “lessons” were fine but nothing truly mind-blowing. I gave up on them after about six weeks or so.

I think I...hate it? Like, this does not look like a Lego game. Like, it’s Lego. And it’s a video game. But it’s not a Lego game. I just checked, and I’ve played 15 of the 26 licensed Lego games and this just does not seem like what I want in a Lego game.

Lego games are inherently button mashers. That’s fine. They’re…

Despite this, astronomers have yet to confirm the presence of an exomoon in orbit around any of these exoplanets. That’s surprising when you consider that our solar system alone hosts over 175 moons.

One of things I like about Wordle is, why would you cheat at Wordle? It’s one game per day. There’s no grind, no advancement, no rankings, no speedruns. You just do the puzzle and move on. And if you’re even halfway decent at word games it doesn’t even really matter what words you start with because, as long as you…

I had no idea PS4s were selling for that much or I might not have gifted mine to my nephew this week.

As a librarian, please let me give you permission to recycle or throw away old books. Every book has a lifespan and it really is okay to let old books go. If you don’t want it, odds are few others do either.

I’m still not convinced he got it, or passed it on to anybody on the convention floor. Everybody at the convention was required to be vaccinated and masked and New York City has no shortage of things to do and places to go where he also could have been exposed.
