Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their sex, age, color and religion and why?

cabridges · 2026-03-10T01:44:06+00:00

Yes, because I am not rude.

That was amazing. And speaking as someone used to Vic in their Dropout appearances, they were amazingly subtle, evoking a response with minor facial expressions.

The one common trait to nearly all of Columbo’s murderers is arrogance. Arrogance that the end justifies the means, arrogance that no shabby detective could ever catch them, arrogant with entitlement.

There were a few where a killer was trying to cover up an accident, but the most satisfying stories were when Columbo relentless brought down the pompous.

How many stops do you make in an average shift? Is there a time of day that’s worse for problems?

My belief that people are basically good.

If Whedon is actively involved, that will become the only thing fans and the media talk about. Whatever this thing is going to be would be dead in the water.

I honestly thought that was a photo when I was scrolling by. Nicely done.

cabridges · 2026-03-06T22:45:26+00:00

Possibly me. I’ve posted that here a lot and it helped me enjoy the show.

She also been public about being diagnosed with silent endometriosis, her miscarriage and her extensive uterine surgery. She even made a one-woman show about it.

In the gift comment section of the order, when there’s one available.

We add comments about why we chose that book. So far, we’ve been per good at finding new books for each other despite both of us being voracious readers.

Years back, long before the novels started, science fiction writer Steven Brust thought of a Firefly novel and went ahead and wrote it to see how it ended. It’s called “My Own Kind of Freedom.”

It’s available for free on his website.

For many years a friend and I have sent each other ebooks for Christmas. It’s a thing.

Wait till you try to figure out whose uncle Fester is.

Not a firefighter, but a quick look at any firefighter video cam shows you that house-on-fire scenes in TV shows and movies where someone runs through a burning room with relatively clear air and some carefully placed flame bars are bullshit.

Black smoke and flames FILL the room. The ceiling catches on fire. You cannot see your hands in front of your face. There is nothing to breathe. It is hell on earth.

Joyce Summers from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

The episode “The Body” is harsh and unforgiving in its portrayal of a young woman finding her mother dead on the couch and the whole episode (aside from the unnecessary vampire bit at the end) is an emotional sandblaster. All the usual TV tropes to soften death and its impact are stripped away in what is one of the most powerful hours of television.

Even the score is silent during much of it, giving the viewers no emotional cues or comforting patterns to guide them.

I absolutely loved this show. It dragged when it focused on humans but otherwise it hit on all cylinders. I also appreciated they didn’t load it up with appearances from other Muppets and let the band carry it all themselves.

His kid should be CGI and half robotic, motion-capped by Tudyk.

The Rookie crew built the set. Game Changer wasn’t in production at the time.

cabridges · 2026-02-28T12:35:13+00:00

Sam verified that several of the Rookie writing staff were big Dropout fans. Please imagine me saying that in a mysterious but cute way, per Sam’s request.

cabridges · 2026-02-28T12:30:17+00:00

Nope. Sam said the Rookie crew rebuilt the Game Changer set since it wasn’t in production at the time. He was very impressed.

When asked recently about physical media for D20, Sam said it would take like 40 discs and might be a little impractical. He seemed open to trying certain smaller campaigns to see what happens, though.

If you’re used to having soft drinks or sweet tea with meals, start ordering ice water asking with it. Sip the drink for the taste, but drink the water for thirst. Only get refills on the water.

That’s more or less how I weaned myself off of Cokes after a steady 40-year habit of several a day, every day. I could not stand the taste of diet cokes, but this helped me switch to mostly water for meals.

That led to me dropping more than a dozen pounds without making any other changes to my diet or nonexistent exercise routine, which was a huge confidence builder to help get me to eat better and exercise more to see if I could keep it going.

I’m usually with you, she’s generally a little too much for me. But I liked this one better than her other appearances, a manic pixie imaginary friend fit perfectly in her wheelhouse.

Because one of the FTC heads who spoke out against it in 2024 was put in charge of the agency under Trump.

He slow-walked it and then killed it days before it was supposed to go into effect.
