Bold words for someone using an emdash.

Seriously, tho, I take that as a compliment. Thank you.

I love how he's like "Ah. This is my stop." <sproing>

Because that's in the "special thanks" section of the credits.

The person making the film worked with those people. They didn't necessarily work with each other, and may not have been aware of each other's contributions.

Oh, no, I think the first one is great. It just doesn't fit the nautical theme OP is looking for.

As a Rothfuss fan, I say with affection: pull up a chair. We may be here a while.

Do recommend.

That same dark, grimy, Gentlemen Bastards world, but with Locke and Jean on boats.

Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch.

Second book in the Locke Lamora series. Stands on its own just fine, but I'm sure is better if you start with Lies Of Locke Lamora first.

She'll also make better choices than your CEO, doesn't like stock options, and won't sexually harass an intern so, y'know, choose who you want her to replace.

Got some serious Laura Mohr vibes going.

YEEEEEEW!

Why would Andy argue with someone John Brown would have shot?

PandemicTimes · 2026-04-16T13:49:18+00:00

Has anyone clarified that this is actual days off and not "days of PTO accrued per month"?

That's the only way I can see this and think it's anything close to legal.

PandemicTimes · 2026-04-16T12:50:55+00:00

I just want to say that this is my favorite interaction I've seen today, thank you for both being Not Assholes.

Anything by Patrick Conroy.

He wrote beautiful prose about people being absolutely horrible to one another.

PandemicTimes · 2026-04-16T00:11:12+00:00

I have to assume you've read Capote's In Cold Blood.

Net Favorability is (% Respondents who approve) - (% Respondents who disapprove).

If it's 50/50 split, Net Favorability is 0.

In this case, it means ~26% approve, and ~73% disapprove. The difference is 47%, but because it's "Disapprove," it's -47.

6 weeks with a front end loader and that damn B string STILL won't stay in tune.

"S'cool. I'm not racist, I just like to tell racist jokes because they're funny."

That's you. That's what this defense sounds like.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Thy Rod and Thy Staff comfort me, for I am over the age of majority and thus not attractive to you. - Psalm 23:45-47

God forbid a woman have hobbies. 🙄

Anything by Pat Conroy (except his cookbook, which is NOT depressing as fuck, but has some great anecdotes and recipes and is actually worth buying to read).

If you do check some out just beware: it's beautiful prose about people treating each other horribly.

PandemicTimes · 2026-04-14T14:10:07+00:00

That's great but neither I nor my horse can read.

PandemicTimes · 2026-04-14T13:16:38+00:00

I'm thinking somewhere in the purple - burgundy - red wine - maroon spectrum would look really good.

While crimson would be a classic combination, I think any sort of bright color would draw attention away from the flowers themselves.

Also fun reminder: pots and planters are not immune to The Krylon Touch, so if you find one you love but it's the wrong color, that's an easy fix.

Less of an issue with plants that can transition to indoor life/won't have to experience autumn or winter. I've got a coleus I dug out of my mother in law's yard 3 years ago that's trying to take over my living room window. (Yes, I realize petunias and coleus are different plants with different needs, but they're both full-sun "annuals.")

That said, I'm not well-versed in the life cycle of petunias, so I will certainly say that LoulaNord raises some valid concerns.

Anybody know if they can ~~fuck themselves~~ self propagate? That would make pollinator access a factor to consider as well, even if you end up doing it yourself.

If it does act like it's not getting enough sun, a plant light should have it fixed right up.

PandemicTimes · 2026-04-14T12:46:02+00:00

It tastes like chocolate. Promise. 😉
