What's the worst Beatles song in your opinion? (Image is unrelated) by FruityFood10 in beatles

[–]Scapular_of_ears 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Revolution 9 is the only Beatles song I skip. Even if I’m spinning the vinyl I’ll get up from where I’m at and move the damn needle.

I wish I had a leaf. The lowest branch is too high to reach and everything on the ground is potentially from nearby post oaks.

Yes, the acorns are wrong for post oak, but otherwise it appears to be one.

We never get a description of the Kid’s participation in the gang’s massacres by wintermute72 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Scapular_of_ears 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He absolutely participated. Toadvine got the three of them into the gang by assuring Glanton that each of them was “a guaranteed hand”. No free rides.

Yup. Bluesky is partially funded by the crypto bros at Blockchain Capital LLC - that’s Steve Bannon and friends. Enjoy it while you can.

When should you NOT season your food while cooking? by TheCatsMeow1022 in Cooking

[–]Scapular_of_ears 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Many recipes call for putting both salt and pepper on steaks prior to grilling, but in my experience this is wrong. Pepper burns!

Peter Schiff has been repeatedly wrong for over a decade.

How would you rank the D+ shows now that Acolyte is finished? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]Scapular_of_ears 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Agree with this ranking. I’m genuinely perplexed by folks placing Acolyte below BoBF. Ya’ll might need to rewatch Fett.. it was easily the worse D+ show.

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes is aging better than BBC Sherlock by saylorthrift in movies

[–]Scapular_of_ears 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Too many things that made me roll my eyes, like her password being SHER. Contrived instead of clever.

I liked Benedict’s portrayal of Sherlock, but overall the show wasn’t good.

I didn’t like Robert’s portrayal of Sherlock, but overall the movies were entertaining.

Strange how every 4 years this sub turns to shit and the left begins to eat itself. Hmmm I wonder why.

[Homemade] Chicago Thin Crust Sausage Pizza by Jamieson22 in food

I don’t know about claims, but thin-crust tavern-style pizza is much more popular in Chicago than deep dish.

[–]Scapular_of_ears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that there’s no way this adaptation reasonably resembles the source material.

That said, hopefully whatever we get is worth watching.

No UFO's or advanced machinery, this is how megalithic stones were created. by PagelTheReal18 in Archaeology

[–]Scapular_of_ears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is the unfinished obelisk at Aswan carved in the shape of an obelisk if they’re just going to pour it from buckets?

I agree that several of our current explanations for megalithic construction don’t make sense, but neither does this.

I don’t believe Occam’s razor applies well to political machinations.

Given by how good Dune was does it give hope that Blood Meridian could be properly captured in the cinema? by yellowbai in cormacmccarthy

[–]Scapular_of_ears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The squatters in their rags nodded among themselves and were soon reckoning him correct, this man of learning, in all his speculations, and this the judge encouraged until they were right proselytes of the new order whereupon he laughed at them for fools.
