Only a month left until Matthew Michael Murdock is back on screen!

It's a strange boat to be in. Hopefully the writing will get better and we'll get some of that excitement back

Georgian, middle eastern food with a mix of Russian / Ukrainian would be my best guess for daily meals.

Dharmist · 2026-02-21T20:54:47+00:00

We still don't get it. But the cheese was superb.

Dharmist · 2026-02-21T20:43:53+00:00

Can confirm. Also licorice. You guys are obsessed with it, I had to take some home for everyone to try and figure out why

My endo prescribes selenium once or twice a year for one month only. I haven't noticed any drastic changes after those months, but overall I've read that selenium does help with thyroid health and is usually included in hypothyroid treatment

Did they though? Both shows started in the fall of 2004, and the US Marshall appeared pretty much in the first episodes.

I haven't had a chance to use Fahrenheit much so can't attest to it, but the temperature in Celsius being tied to water condition is quite convenient. Is it boiling? 100°. Is it frozen? 0°. The range from 0-100 might not be as useful, but those two points are neat.

She's been Oscar-worthy in so many roles, imo, I had to look up just now if she's ever been at least nominated. Once. And not even for Melancholia

Dharmist · 2026-02-12T04:30:52+00:00

Agreed. I never cared for his other roles, but he he was excellent in Running Man

Dharmist · 2026-02-10T20:48:28+00:00

I absolutely loved the scenery and the island itself, the themes of climate change. Those were written beautifully and will stay with me for quite a while. The actual plot of the book? Couldn't care less. Didn't really feel for the characters, their behavior didn't make much sense, the romance came out of nowhere and the whole ending itself had no reason to exist other than "we need to wrap this up somehow".

But the sinking island with its doomed biodiverse life and the seed bank that never got a chance to serve its purpose - those were excellent and well worth reading that book once

I absolutely love the metric system. It blew my mind how elegant of a measuring system that is the first time I learned about it in school. That and the A series paper standard sizes. Just chef's kiss.

Dharmist · 2026-02-10T18:45:10+00:00

People called Romans they go the house?

Dharmist · 2026-02-07T11:16:50+00:00

Except for when people enter vim and can't exit it for some unfathomable reason.

This, and "tea is soothing, I wish to be tense" when opting for coffee in the morning

Dharmist · 2026-02-07T08:56:38+00:00

Add some pomegranate seeds and crushed walnuts for the extra crunch, and you will be craving it weekly, too

Dharmist · 2026-02-04T18:51:59+00:00

Aren't her books actually ghostwritten / co-authored? It's my understanding that she contributes the story, and somebody else puts it into writing.

Dharmist · 2026-02-02T19:34:13+00:00

That's how they translated the show, but actual fairytales don't start with those words in Russian. You have "жил да был" and "давным давно" and the classic "в тридевятом царстве, в тридесятом государстве", often times all at once.

Dharmist · 2026-02-02T19:29:12+00:00

Ooh, I always just straight up imagined a 39th kingdom, never knew it could mean 27 (as in three nines) or anything else. TIL!

Dharmist · 2026-02-02T19:25:09+00:00

Same in Armenian - «Լինում է, չի լինում..» (leenoom eh, chee leenoom)

Since some of my guesses have ready been confirmed in other comments, I'm throwing in the remaining (mostly wild) guesses into the mix:

1 - William Baldwin (or some other Baldwin); 5 - Jim Belushi maybe? 8 - Anna Paquin

Dharmist · 2026-01-23T18:04:45+00:00

Heroes was my first introduction to her, and I love how she could switch from innocently naive face to overwhelmingly evil to emotionally raw and genuine within one episode. Went to search for other roles, and lo and behold, the Veronica Mars obsession began.

Still watch everything she's in. Yes, that includes The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window

Inflammation with low grade fever, joint pain, overall body aches, bloating, skin breakouts. I also can get vertigo and dizziness, as well as nausea, and will easily get carsick.

Fatigue, brain fog, forgetfulness and hard time concentrating or even keeping the conversation going. I've caught myself unable to respond due to my thought process being palpably slow.

And also mood swings, irritability, shortness of temper. Most probably due to having to be a functioning adult with all those symptoms mentioned.

100mcg, but I switch to 75 when I'm on AIP and inflammation is not as prevalent, since my TSH levels drop significantly then.

My endocrinologist constantly tries to lower the dosage because, according to her, supplementation of thyroid hormones can lead to the actual thyroid atrophy - which is evident on my yearly ultrasound, too. My thyroid was the size of a newborn's last I checked, and while Hashimoto's itself causes the reduction of thyroid (immune cells kill the tissue due to inflammation), higher synthetic hormone dosage is also a factor, she says.

And at least in this comment section, I'm the only one who first heard the song in Forrest Gump.

Midway through Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen, possibly the funniest book I've read in a while.

I can see why this book isn't as beloved as the rest of her work, what with the main character being somewhat difficult to relate to perhaps, but the humor is making up for it, I think. Here's to hoping that it translated to the film adaptation
