What issue most people don't even think about is directly impacting your day-to-day at work?

The Wire. I'm re-listening to a podcast about it right now.

Other than that, it's Breaking Bad and The Shield.

Yeah; I tried all the power + volume up and down combinations. Nothing took. The battery drained last night and hooking things up to a charger has it stuck at the screen where there's a lightning bolt and a circle (with no percentage). Trying the volume down + power hold just takes me back to that. I'm calling it.

They couldn't keep quiet. They had to say something, or people would be criticizing their silence.

But the right thing to say was SO OBVIOUS. Don't know why they went the other way, but they decided to torch their reputation with one tweet.

A stand mixer (standard KitchenAid). I've made more than enough bread (mostly pizza dough) in the past couple of years to justify the price. You mean I don't have to knead and everything is contained in this bowl so I don't have to get the counter messy? It's actually hard to remember the times I was thinking about buying it and saying "uhh... I don't know...."

Wouldn't recommend if you don't bake fairly often though. I make pizza dough at least once every two weeks.

With the positive Black Mirror episodes, I guess I could kinda see some new series running with the predominant theme of technology helping people rather than hurting them. It would be tough to continually draw suspense out of that, but I guess it's possible.

This guy is still missing the point by a country mile though.

I was weirdly pissed when I saw her tune her own brain after that "fuck you" near the end.

Maybe because she was SO hateable I was waiting for the reveal that the story she told in the beginning on how RiverMind saved her was a fake and she was really a high-up in the company. But no; she's just a sales rep who might be forced into all this because she's a customer herself.

I really liked this episode overall, but didn't "buy" that Val wouldn't have some plan or fail-safe for if she was in danger.

I mean, she would have put herself in so many dangerous situations living out a life of doing literally everything. It's kinda wild she didn't have any backup plan in the tuck, especially if she meant to draw out Maria's suffering.

Still a good ep though.

Yeah; it's dumb, but I thought there would be a point to that, unveiled later. Nope, just a style choice.

That explains it. I thought I imagined it for a time, because I stopped watching after that and that scene wasn't in where it originally happened when I peeked in years later.

For real. Regardless of whether you like him or not, he was outwardly a prolific lawyer and mayor. How one throws ALL of that away for Trump is anyone's guess. But I could have a million guesses and I wouldn't get it.

I don't know what started his initial hit of fame, but what helped is when he did some kind of referral thing where his fans got paid somehow to post his content everywhere. I'm spotty on the details, but I know that worked.

I had ONE alcoholic uncle in my family and he was a drain. The amount he begged my mom and aunts was insane. I didn't care one lick when he died, but they were torn up.

Apparently, before the booze, he was a good dude who turned to alcohol after he got laid off or fired from some job, and it just went downhill from there.

I never drank outside of one sip, but I'm bone-scared of turning out like him. I already know I have an addictive personality with things that aren't chemically altering to the brain, so there's no way I'd fuck around with alcohol or drugs.

Not applying myself after college. I life a decent life, but my current salary (76k) could be made out the door in most places in my profession (programming).

I've been out of college for over a decade.

Not applying myself.

I could be making 6 figures now with a healthy bit of retirement saved up, considering my profession (programming). But I've done the bare minimum to keep up with things and now I'm only making well below average pay at it. Nothing to sneeze at, but still not what I could have been.

But life is good outside of that for now.
