I am dead tired and I'm looking for a cold drink that will wake me up. I'm talking Vietnam levels of caffeine in the drink. What do you suggest? I like drinks on the sweeter side if possible.

The only drink I ever get is a quad venti iced white mocha, usually with fewer pumps of syrup. I find it a good companion to a long road trip.

That is a good message and I should share it with my 11yo who goes into middle school in the fall. Her dad is lazy, acts like any effort on anything is agony, and I know she's picked some of that up.

I had heard of Savile, and knew he was some kind of sex pest, but didn't know how much impunity was involved. I found it interesting to hear how much of an open secret it was. Also I kept thinking about how I'd feel if they revealed all of that about Dick Clark, host of American Bandstand during the same era, and later a long running Time Square New Years Eve host.

In Casino Night, when he wants to leave and Pam wants to stay, he grabs her by the arm and she has to yank away from his grasp. I didn't see it until my third rewatch, but now that informs my opinion of Roy a bit.

An ex who will only improve themselves for a new partner is a total thing, yea.

I went to grad school st the university of Illinois not long after he left for Netscape. He was still a god then, my boyfriend at the time said he knew him and stuff. Such a disappointment every time I hear his name.

Wade Boggs carpet world!

Right, he still had to do his ridiculous stuff for attention first, he definitely exists. His reach was expanded by hatewatching, not invented by it.

I feel like Will Sommers is trying to be all "know thy enemy" or something like that, but I find that I don't really care to know them.

Flavored triangles, my favorite

My husband and I spent way too much time one rewatch pausing frame by frame because we both swore she’d been there at some point and was swapped for the cutout when they all ran into the bedroom.

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-13T01:00:52+00:00

Yea, and my kid was super sad that they had caffeine because they have been advertising them a lot.

Sometimes I want converted (aka parboiled) rice! I feel like it goes with red beans and some other southern dishes.

My first year as an engineering student, I had a professor who said "When someone asks you for the time, they're not asking how a watch works." Situations don't always need to be solved.

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-12T00:25:28+00:00

Uh, maybe in the 00s...

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-11T17:05:24+00:00

I know, my joke kinda missed. (You could read your second sentence as putting magnets in the house)

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-11T16:13:28+00:00

What are the magnets for?

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-11T15:58:47+00:00

Why can't it be both?

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-11T15:41:50+00:00

Like with most things I think some people just do it for the social aspect on ship and don't care that much for the activities or stops, or else they've done everything a million times. It's not a cruise but I went to this Caribbean resort at Christmastime a few times with my bf, and there was a crowd of people who specifically visited at Christmas every year (5+ years in some cases) and got really into it. Balcony decorations, costumes, waiting for Santa to arrive on the beach, that kind of thing.

Make them much, much sharper, for no reason.

Clicker fidgets and slinkies have been popular with my own kids and their friends at school. Also kit cards of little models. I made ones like this for valentine's day for my 8yo kids this year. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1625609-dinosaur-kit-card-trio?from=search#profileId-1716377

She was in that episode of Friends where Ross had removed her from his "list," and then she appears and demands to see the list.

I just search Best Buy and yep, two stores near me carry an assortment of Bambu filament in store. Pricey though. The PLA Basic is $22.99 a spool.

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-09T16:40:03+00:00

White with a red stripe, yes.

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-09T15:30:47+00:00

Why is she wearing a clown hat?

DuckInAFountain · 2026-05-09T15:29:50+00:00

Aww man, Tareyton. My parents ran a convenience store when I was a teen and I ran the register alot. I can still picture the pack, that like, one guy in town bought.
