That movie had no business being as good as it was.

I’d suggest using a plastic flosser so it’s not conductive, but this definitely breathed new life into my phone. It turns out battery lasts longer if it’s charging more consistently.

In a similar vein, rain now prompts thoughts of “oh fuck is there a leak anywhere?” Instead of enjoyment, haha…

Sheesh! What’s the difference between co-op vs condo for you?

In college there was a laundromat with a diner that served decent burgers. Was always a treat.

It’s worth pointing out the difference between condos and a co-op - here condos can be over 200k, which can be prohibive, whereas the buy-in for a co-op apartment is like 10k.

Co-ops are truly the way to go for housing.

I played so much nerts in college. I was terrible at it due to the frenetic rate of play, but it was fun. It’s the reason I have like 8 packs of playing cards haha.

Thanks, you too!

That’s a lot of selective interpreting right there, lol.

I don’t have the time or want to unravel everything - I’m only sharing evidence that good things are happening amidst all the doom and gloom, and they’re typically lead by Democrats.

That’s a strange line of reasoning to discourage voting. I just got my mail in ballot, I’ll probably be dropping it off the next time I have a day off.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand your point. Can you clarify?

Do the Democrats have unilateral control at the federal level? Seems far from that to me.

Also worth pointing out that it’s not third party candidates or Republicans passing these state policies. It’s democrats.

So I know it’s nice to doompost, but there certainly are good things to look for.

Some states are working towards making education more available. New Mexico has free tuition, period.

Rampant inflation for food, housing, and utilities with no end in sight

We’re almost back to historical norms for inflation.

Cops are still killing at will, and cop cities are becoming a thing

Some states have removed qualified immunity for cops.

Now that’s a bold and uninformed take.

It’s especially helpful when you’re looking at screws (or nuts!) from the back or any other weird frame of reference.

I use the right hand rule - ball up your fist with your thumb sticking out, and turning in the direction of your fingers curling will result in the screw going the rest your thumb points.

Wife and I have both finished the book and absolutely loved it. Thanks again for the recommendation. Here’s to books 2 and 3!

When I’m senile? Ice cream sandwiches. I’d have forgotten in lactose intolerant, God be with the poor soul taking care of me.

I’m so glad that you posted this. I had a similar experience. My personal goal is to ask some things only twice, and then suck it up and move on.

The girl I dated in high school broke up with me when college started. A few years later, we were talking again, and we were in the friendship fog. I asked her out again, she said no. That also hurt like hell, but I told myself I’ve asked twice. Time to move on.

I actually recently found a journal entry from that night - “It feels like I am king of the friend zone with her, but holy shit it feels so good to have that cleared up, and now I know I have a solid friend who I don’t have to worry about dating potential”.

After that she was the first female friend who I didn’t constantly have a thought of “…but what if?”, and that was incredible.

Over 10 years later, she’s like a sister to me - she was my best ma’am at my wedding, and I was a bridesman at hers. (my wife likes to poke fun at the imbalance here, but we had a small wedding haha)

Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.

I think there’s something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.
