I remember Slice, but not Teem. I guess back in those days if I wanted a lemon-lime soda I would just go with an uncola.

“We’re coming from an irrational time of overspending with limited focus on return on investment,” Wiedenfels says, adding that 2023 is about “relaunching and building.”

Not every show needs a season long overarching plot. On procedurals like this it’s usually some tacked on, tired conspiracy plot or a lame supposedly “boss level” baddie that takes time away from character development and making an actually interesting main plot.

Once again “searched for” ≠ “popular” . When will this crap ever stop? 

The news isn’t that he can’t get a show now, given what he has shown himself to be, but that somehow his snake oil pushing show stayed on the air for 13 seasons. What a quack.

“The tragedy of the case is that Ms. Holmes is brilliant,”

How do you define “offroad”? Nobody is taking it to Moab, but plenty of people take these things up to the mountains via unmaintained two tracks.

Back in the days when I had to deposit an actual physical paycheck, the nearest place to do so was inside a Safeway so I’d do the deposit and have some of the spicy Gen. Tso’s chicken. Fairly tasty, for the price. I have no idea how it is now after Albertsons gobbled them up.

You should really edit that headline since the Merchant Marines and the U.S. Marine Corp. are two different things with the latter usually being referred to as “Marines”.

The retail style u-pick apple orchards get overrun during picking season around here so I’ll probably have to go without unless I can talk someone in to going up there mid-week. The last time I tried to spend a calm relaxing fall day picking apples I sat in traffic for an hour. 

It’s not a unique situation. Carl’s Jr. and Hardees are similar. 

The commercial huckleberry pickers have a reputation of using devices that destroy the bush while stripping the berries so I’m not a big fan of big corporations using huckleberries, besides they usually just throw in some tiny pieces and call it good. Dealing with the terrain, biting flies, mosquitos, and underbrush…

While we don’t go to O’ahu, the only we’ve ever had is being stuck in a vehicle that we didn’t want. We went to the Big Island not long after Hawaii opened for tourists again in Feb. 2021 and got put in a Tahoe which was nice but too big, and we went to Maui in February this year and got Rogue which is a Nissan and…

Money laundering in racing? I’ve never heard such an outrage!

Oh god, is that a conversation pit? 

But just for one buyer.

I’m thinking 1942-45 might have been worse. There were no cars and no parts at all. 

I’ve read that the test screenings did not go well, but it’s been well documented that test screenings are far from infallible. 

My Epcot visit was when I was stationed in Orlando on a Navy base that hasn’t existed in a long, long time now. Epcot in 1985, at least for me, consisted of visiting a few things (getting stuck at the top of the big golf ball planetarium was a highlight) and then drinking around the world. In other words, I got…

It’s very important. During last year’s PNW heatwave (110 ain’t normal around here) our AC died and the main floor was miserable but the basement was still very livable due to the insulation factor of good old earth added to the regular stuff.
