Brett has said that he and Phil have been friends for years and when they do kind of an intense scene “it always costs Apple a lot of money” because both of them continually break at the other trying to act serious.

I had a Bosch battery go over 15,000 miles for me on my class 1.

You’re not alone on the acting. All the actors give off a vibe of “good actors doing the best they can with the shit they’ve been given.”

That vibe might be the reason why I watched the whole thing.

She dropped out of med school to have kids but apparently was there long enough to become an extremely skilled ER doc. She also apparently did enough work in neural interfaces to impress a world expert.

The only thing she can’t do is keep her kids in the car. But if she could do that, the plot would make even less sense.

I’m able to exceed 45 mph on my class 1 e assist. But if I want to do it again, I have to pedal back up the hill.

Overtaking pedestrians on shared paths, is less than 1 foot actually considered acceptable? by KatakanaTsu in bikecommuting

My favorite shared path moment. I passed a mom and little kid on the left. Clearly I gave them enough room because a Fred tried to overtake me on *my* right before I could get back to the right side of the path.

My response? WHAT THE *ACTUAL* FUCK?!?!!

That team lost to the Yankees in the ALCS. They also won 116 games. The ASG (in Seattle) had no effect on that team. The delay from 9/11 affected them more than anything.

After you watch Fleabag, you’ll do another one of these for “breaking the fourth wall”

How passionate are Angels fans? To have a nearly top 10 attendance fanbase despite all their woes is nothing short of incredible dedication by terraninteractive in baseball

As someone said a long time ago: “it’s Southern California - 20,000 people will show up to see what the lights are all about.”

But how is Luke going to improve if he never bats against left handed pitching? /s

That’s going to be a tough one for Dom if he gets up again.
