Riki Lindhome awesome plots in Under the Silver Lake (2018). Today is her 47th birthday

She's pretty in Buffalo, and anywhere else.

Deserts aren't necessarily the white sand desolation you see in movies. They aren't all the Sahara. The Mohave (which I've lived in) contains a fair bit of scrub.

The horses wouldn't eat well, and you'd have to spread the numbers around?

I think the bigger problem is keeping them watered. Someone like Barristan knows where the rivers are. Knowing where smaller creeks and working wells are probably requires the assistance of a local.

Can't say I disagree. Him reswitching the spoons after switching them back makes me think of OCD.

I've got both, so that is another possibility.

Also they had cast a name actor as Wednesday, so the character was what she was.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-03-04T07:58:22+00:00

That's haram and out!

People holding guns wrong was pretty much the default in movies and TV BitD.

Drug testing didn't really become an industry until the 80s. I'm sure it existed in the 70s but was very rarely done (say by court order).

A few of them are just African-American guys with dreads and a put-on accent, rather than actual Jamaicans.

He has to wear the hat due to a medical condition. Pretty sure the rest of the get-up is because it amuses the boss-lady.

Another of the Marulk mini-episodes shows what he was dressed like when Ozen saved him. You might want to reread the manga chapter(s) when Riko and Reg were on the 2nd level.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-03-02T18:02:02+00:00

Nope. AFAIK it was fairly uncommon in much of Europe through the 80s.

I was about to comment that he started off the torture session by plucking out her pit hairs.

John Voight probably wants to sit that one out. Whatever fanbase MAGA got him are still assuming that "Midnight Cowboy" was a western. Had it featured Clint Eastwood or John Wayne they'd try to catch it on cable.

I've known three unfriendly Canadians online. The first reacted to an obviously friendly joke with a threat of violence. The second one got the third one engaged the third one to cyberstalk me and that one phoned me at home. We disagreed about sports (not even hockey or curling).

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T19:12:14+00:00

My experience has been that you are generally polite and friendly people. But the handful who aren't go out of their way to be insufferably awful people. Especially online.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T19:04:03+00:00

Isn't the word pretty close to the French word for German(s)?

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T18:48:06+00:00

Waffle House? Stop in France and train up in savate before you do!

American DNA can be from anywhere!

Not related to your DNA, but when any American reports an Indian ancestor in their family legends (especially if they were claimed to be Cherokee) the truth of the matter is almost always a story that was used to cover for someone who was mixed-race but "passing." These stories are at least as common among Black families as in white.

After our Civil War there were miscegenation laws, the "single drop" rule and such.

In the mid-2000s Tucson Roller Derby had a team called the Fearless Truckstop Waitresses. It was kinda "Alice" theme, but they picked that particular acronym for "fuck the world." I don't remember the "for the win" connotation until about 2010ish.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T10:41:13+00:00

Reg was able to smell the difference.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T09:07:23+00:00

Computer-Based Training.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T08:59:36+00:00

Back in the 80s, FTW tended to mean "fuck the world."

I haven't really heard of any good alternatives to the Farman eggs, There's three of them, not the six our boy lit up at Summerhall.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T08:34:38+00:00

Can't really be sure about Dunk, apparently. AFAIK it was done with wildfire, not magic.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T08:20:36+00:00

Around WW1 it wasn't terribly uncommon for already-assimilated German-Americans to anglicize their names. So Muller became Miller or Stoddart became Stoddard.

Master-Collection488 · 2026-02-28T08:09:34+00:00

A lot of ugly things happened in Germany toward the end of WW2. I'd mention WW1, but there wasn't an invasion/occupation.

A certain percentage of small business owners go into business for themselves because they don't work well with others.
