Very interesting, and a pretty big cinema find. Many, myself included, held that the first movie robot was in the 1919 theatrical serial The Master Mystery featuring escapist Harry Houdini. This clearly predates that film by several years. Well done you, Matt.

Speaking as someone who used to dispatch:

Hazard files (unless they use a vastly different system/terminology than we did) are files that display information when you punch in a person’s information or an address that could be officer safety issues. What it means is that, at some point, an officer responding to a call…

My wife is a solid Republican, and her mother is borderline conspiracy-theorist Republican (like, when she heard that I was playing Pokemon GO, she made sure to mention that the app was developed by the CIA).

Sam Adam’s Summer is a very solid choice. I’m also a sucker for Leinie’s Summer Shandy - especially if I’m planning on drinking all day, and especially if its going to be at a lake house in Wisconsin...

Would have preferred a 3rd person or even classic 2d metroid instead of a 4th prime game but holy shit an actual new metroid.

I see it happening something like this. Just a friendly discussion between friends.

I’m just not that into bread, occasional pizza or burger is great but daily? I would much rather have some sweet potato or regular potato as a carb staple. And no, I have no intolerance or ‘sensitivities’ to gluten.

I read the title and without hesitation I said butter. Then I realized I thought this was going to be the one ingredient to add when making a dish.

That upside down bird kinda looks like Sonic.

We have Prime so Amazon music is my go-to choice. But a lot of what I’m searching for these days is only available through their premium tier, which I think is relatively new. In that respect it’s a little frustrating.

I know it’s not really savory, but I LOVE putting salt on my watermelon. My favorite summertime treat :)

“Barry”

Gray v. grey, unless a proper noun, is a thing one can misspell?

You’re not wrong, but if we’re trying to actually eat the noodles I suggest just cracking a couple raw eggs into the pot of soup and stirring it around

My boss married into a Japanese family, lived there for several years, visits often. I was shocked when he informed me that the instant Ramen noodles we get in the local megamart (e.g. Maruchan, Top Ramen, et al) are a fairly authentic experience. From the way he put it, it sounds like it’s more or less the Japanese…

I think Risk of Rain is a good example of both a hit and a miss. The art style does a lot with very little, and the *enemies* tend to read fairly well, but they made humans tiny on purpose to sell the atmosphere (success!) at the cost of readability. (...not so great.) Combine that with lots of particle effects…

I LOVE EGGS SO MUCH. My recipe would be: create ramen noodles in any way you deem flavorful. Place the two perfectly boiled (hard or soft) eggs on top. Eat the eggs. Discard the ramen,

I am a big fan of the Push-Up, probably because it’s always so long in between me actually thinking to look for them in the store.

Choco Tacos are inexplicably delightful. There were these ice cream sandwiches I used to get at the swimming pool concession that was frozen yogurt between 2 chocolate chip cookies, and it was either that or a choco taco and now I want either one, who’s gonna bring me ice cream?
