Interesting pivot!

Solid takes re: Ruffalo vs. Norton and the portrayals.

Maybe get them started younger.

Pretty much this. I would have designated steak fries near the bottom, for example, but I had a serving at Kennedy's on Westland Row in Dublin which were like the platonic ideal of the form. Beautifully seasoned, and they had nailed a fry process which resulted in a perfect balance of fluffy...

Let's not forget that part of Tolkien's professional legacy was apologism for Beowulf- getting it taken more seriously as a literary work and not merely a historical artifact.

"Well I'M certainly not taking notes."

I tried In-N-Out when I visited my sister in CA a couple of years ago. They were fine. I remember it all being a bit bland, but fresh, and the fries not as crispy as I'd have liked. And yes, the lines were long but at least they moved pretty quickly. We went to one off the highway on our...

I'm of two minds about this. I can't deny the truthiness, but OTOH when I've ended up at a Denny's it's normally late and often specifically to sober up. Agreed. When I discovered them (getting out of a couple hours of traffic having flown into DC on a Friday afternoon, on my way to Virginia...

Reminds me of this video essay on dungeons, which opens with a four minute reading from Danielewski's House of Leaves. :)

Up late dancing and slept poorly Saturday night, so I got a late start Sunday, skipped my PT/core morning exercises, and dragged through my upper body stuff at the gym. Skipped legs too and felt guilty, but I was just wiped. Got back on my morning exercises the last two days, and I'm going to...

Wolfmoon makes me think Clark spent his time writing it with Type O Negative playing on repeat. QFT.

I can see the concerns about how he in some ways seems upstaged, power-wise, by others in this movie. OTOH I agree that challenges like the kaiju were less about his power being limited and more about the dilemma of beating it while simultaneously not letting it kill anyone or destroy too much...

My recollection from PatW is that Fletcher Pratt's naval wargame (started 1937, first published 1940?) was one of the earliest sources for the concept of units accumulating points of damage. I've attached an image of a ship damage chart from this game. The numbers on the left indicate the...

Old Pizza Huts with the faux-Tiffany lampshades and so forth, I think were part of the design trend which gave us TGI Fridays, and sprang out of fern bars? Phil Edwards has a recent video I watched this week on this whole design trend of kitschy restaurants and the generational shift.

Well, there is also apparently the issue that the primary purpose of the UCC is to "perfect" and confirm for the knowledge of other creditors who owns what, in the instance that not all parties are aware that the reselling entity is selling stuff on consignment. Whereas anyone doing business...

I really need to get off my butt and run or play His Majesty the Worm. I picked that up a while ago, and it's both beautiful and very cool. The other one on here that I'm quite excited by and want to pick up is Mythic Bastionland.

Benches were all taken when I arrived last night, so I started with three sets of machine pec flies. I think I should have added a fourth or some drop sets, though. After benches opened up I did three circuits of dumbbell behind the head skull crushers (keeping the weight increase though being...
