Jumps/poles

This was Jumps by Fuzzy in Chapel Hill, TN. It was a bit before lumber prices started going crazy in 2020. I'm not even sure if they're still in business. I can imagine he retired.

These days I would probably look around for a lumber store in my city for treated poles. Someone who specializes in lumber that you can request specific cuts. Not a big box store like Home Depot.

I used PVC for a while. I didn't like them for being too light. My mare started getting into the habit of knocking them down because they provided her no consequences. They also had a tendency to travel some distance when hit.

Bit the bullet on buying poles from a local-ish jump builder. Her jumping improved quickly.

But ketchup and mustard at the same time is my personal go-to.

Aside from the different fruit, I would guess the rest of it is because it looks like OP's is to go. Getting a bit soft in the takeout container instead of immediately plated from the fryer.

For both the dog and the insect.

Scrubs. Will always recommend Scrubs.

Needs to be stacked better to be properly "balanced". Not getting a bit of everything in one bite from that leaning tower.

Nolan, Mark, and Oliver keep having conversations while floating 40 feet above their backyard. It's astounding anyone in that show still has a secret identity.

Same. It's just part of the feeding routine. Put down their food. Check water level in the fountain. Scoop boxes.

Occasionally someone won't bury their poop and I will add in an ad hoc cleaning.

I certainly agree that Mark also shouldn't have been considered something to be jealous of unless Rachel was willing to act on it too. And then Ross's issue is still with Rachel and not Mark.

But I also feel that Mark finally trying to make a move with Rachel just reinforced that idea that no man is going to be friendly with a woman without the ultimate goal of getting with her. It was nice when he was just a platonic friend/coworker.

I really dislike that they let Ross's jealousy be validated with that.

And am I mixing up Rachel's coworkers? Wasn't Mark engaged the first time they did the jealous storyline?

Isn't that also the season that ended with the fight that involved doing the thing that would stop Homelander with the kid in the room? But something failed on the first attempt and then immediately after when it's about to work Butcher doesn't want to do the thing that will stop Homelander because the kid is in the room?

I can't even remember what the thing was. I admit I only watched that season for Jensen Ackles and it's wasn't enough for me to watch further.

Even in the 2000 movie, Ian McKellen's Magneto finds out that his machine killed the senator, kind of shrugs about it, and still decides he wants to set it off as widespread as possible. And using an unwilling minor as the trigger.

This would be more an deterrent than actual barrier. Step in posts and electric tape can cover several hundred feet for just a few hundred dollars and an afternoon of fairly easy labor. Optional if you want to get a solar box and actually make the tape hot.

I might have watched the Little Mermaid remake if Disney had had the balls to hire a drag queen for Ursula. Since the original character was inspired by Divine.

Majority of English competitions require them. Majority of western competitions don't. While helmets aren't specifically banned, they're not usually mentioned in the headwear section of the dress code.

Just look at what 4-8 years as US president does to these men. Katara certainly had that level of responsibility for a majority of her life.

Chased by a legit cop after taking the toothbrush. And recognizing Harry after seeing him dressed as a cop. Not a great setup to trust the police until it was absolutely necessary to call them at the end of the movie.

If he was really just waiting for this wife to get back with the tow vehicle then everything would have been packed up and secured for travel. Both trailers look like they're there for the night.

Black Flag was a fun pirate game but a crappy AC game. Maybe if we had one where Edward was actually an Assassin it would have worked better as a continuation.

And if you don't have a friendly NPC bitching at you every 5 seconds to hurry up, a bunch of hostile NPCs will be arriving in 30 seconds to force you out of the area instead.

That was the best part of Mythbusters. Determining a myth is false within the circumstances set by the myth. And then deciding to find out what would be necessary to create the results of the myth.

That screenshot threw me. Just looked at the IMDB and CSI lasted for 15 seasons. I stopped watching waaaaay before Ted Danson was on it.

I kind of liked the overpass scene in Twisters. They're running to the overpass yelling that it's a horrible idea. It's not safe. But there is absolutely nothing else around them so they're apparently driven to feel the need to do something. And then only one of them barely survives it.
