  • I don’t recall how I heard about For All Mankind, and I never see it mentioned very much, but I have had such a great time watching that.

    It’s an alternate history of the space race from the 60s onward, and it’s so exciting to watch what could have been. Each season jumps forward a decade, so the advances in missions and tech keep leaping forward.

    If you grew up thinking we should be pioneering space by now, you will probably enjoy it.






  • Not only this annoyance you mentioned, but my personal little saying is that turn signals aren’t just for the benefit of who you see, but more importantly for anyone you don’t see!

    You should have already made sure you’re clear of everyone before you think about leaving your current path. Using the indicator is a preventative measure for the sake of yourself and anyone in a blind spot or that you failed to notice.


  • Lol I thought the same thing.

    Is it perfect? Nah, far from it. However, it’s leaps and bounds ahead of #Venom and has a way meatier plot than #VenomLetThereBeCarnage.

    Take it for what it is.

    It’s not perfect but it’s super entertaining

    Venom 3 is classic guilty pleasure cinema. Turn your brains off and let #Venom snack on ‘em.”

    I think #VenomTheLastDance is the best of the three, while still being incredibly bad. It’s bizarre, and watchable, because it’s willing to try anything.

    Not exactly the quotes I’d want to have in a review of something I made.

    With that said though, I have next to no knowledge of the source material, so I found the first 2 movies plenty enjoyable, and the trailer had some rad looking stuff in it, so I think I will enjoy this one also. After all the other superhero shows and movies, I like that these movies have had fun and not taken themselves so seriously.




  • Drag threw me for a loop the first time drag replied to me. I assumed it was a bit at first because this is the Internet and all, but I looked at drag’s history to see what the story was, since it’s not like anyone gives an introduction before commenting.

    Other than the pronouns, Drag’s posts are like anyone else’s. Nothing was trollish, and Drag has explained drag’s pronouns a few times. It’s interesting to see drag’s idea is to create something simpler, but as it is not very English in structure, it sounds very strange at first. I think I’ve gotten the idea now, though I have had to make a few corrections as I type this.

    First, I think people should be able to be whoever they want to be, especially online, if they aren’t doing things to be jerks. Drag has not done anyone wrong that I’ve seen. So if Drag asks me to call drag by something, why wouldn’t I? Drag has engaged with me in a friendly way, so I owe drag the same.

    Second, I enjoy it as a creative exercise. It keeps my mind engaged while writing what would otherwise be a bland reply. It’s kind of fun to see language experience some flexibility and evolution, and if it honestly makes Drag feel better about drag’s self, I can accommodate that. If you can’t abide that, just move on and let Drag live drag’s life.

    Even though most of us are liberal here, it doesn’t mean we’re free of bias or not stuck in our own ways. Even if we don’t get something, it doesn’t hurt us to cooperate with someone that it does make sense to. That’s just my feelings though.




  • I agree with hand washing as best to prevent any chains catching in lacey bits. If daily is a pain, maybe do it once a week. Just put a little detergent in the bathroom sink and give a few swishes and squeezes and hang them on something like this.

    If you do want to toss them in the washer, I’d use a lingerie laundry bag and just toss in a few, again to minimize potential snags or tangles and run on the delicate cycle and hang dry. It’d suck to toss a bunch in loose and pull out a big tangled ball. 😧




  • The bagel place is like that sometimes where they haven’t made the buzz yet and they let us pick. The Jamaican place has seemed the same every time, but it’s a great portion of assorted items. We also got good stuff from a vegan, non-every allergen place. The prices were premium, but the stuff was really tasty, and even though we didn’t have special diet restrictions, other family members do, do we could promote it to them. We’ve also gotten to try different things we don’t normally order, like we get a big bag of pepperoni rolls from a pizza place, and the other place is the sausage food truck thing outside Home Depot which was actually really tasty.

    Only once did we feel a place was a little less generous, but it still wasn’t a bad deal for the price, just in comparison to other grab bags.

    It’s got us to try both local stuff we’ve never gotten to check out, and also things a little further away than we’d normally go to because it’s a cheap adventure with really nothing to lose.
