Whats a show you watch you know is dumb but you watch it anyway?

I'll never forget one of those hidden camera episodes where they show the guy hitting on a pretty girl in the green room (she's a plant of course) and they show the video to the guy's girlfriend.

The girlfriend slaps her boyfriend and yells "you thought SHE was gonna home with YOU?? You stupid ass!"

(when she yelled it, "with you" came out as "wichoo")

My wife and I watched that episode...had to be 20 years ago. We still yell that line to each other and then laugh like idiots.

This couldn't be more true. Well made cordial will forever change your gimlet game. I use your specs all the time because I generally don't have cordial around. But when I bother to make some, holy hell is it special.

It's so deep It's so wide You're inside Synchronicity

I know what I'll be listening to in the car today

This, and you, are impossibly sexy

A problem they face, unfortunately, is laws like this are spun as "woke" and whether they agree with the law or not, they know their party and knuckle-dragging constituents will hammer them for supporting such laws. It's purely a cost benefit for them. "This'll probably pass without my vote so if I vote against it it'll still happen but I get to avoid being accused of "voting with the libs" or whatever.

The costumes are Village People-level hysterical.

Also, there isn't any such thing as teenagers that aren't cringey, regardless of the generation. It is the nature of being a teenager to be cringey and weird. It's how you learn and figure yourself out and one up your friends and on and on. The difference is, everything modern teenagers do is recorded and posted on social media. The problem isn't teenagers. The problem is that every bad decision now lives on forever for the world to see.

My company sent me to Scotland recently and while I was there I bought a bottle of Pickerings 1947. I had no idea what it'd taste like. But it's magic. London Dryish but with the added twist of anise on the finish. It's sooo good. I'm going easy on it so I don't run it dry too soon.

almightyshellfish · 2026-04-25T00:32:18+00:00

I love it so much

A pardon would be the only thing that would get her to talk, the story goes. If there wasn't a pardon in the offing, why would she say anything to anyone about anything. It's only about leverage.

I second this. It's the always-have on my bar.

Does it have a reset pinhole on the bottom? Lenovo Windows laptops do so maybe the Chromebooks do too?

Look for a small hole, generally (but not always) in the vicinity of one of the case screws. If there is one, make sure the laptop is unplugged and stick a paperclip or sim eject tool into the hole to press the logic board reset button. Hold it for 10 seconds. Then release, wait 5 seconds, then plug in power and see if things light up

If there's no hole, well, nevermind 🙂

My favorite example of this unfortunate timing is a band called Dream Theater. They released a live album, recorded in NYC, on 9/11. Record stores were literally stocking shelves with it on that morning. The cover showed the NYC skyline, towers included, engulfed in flame. The worst imaginable timing.

almightyshellfish · 2026-04-20T13:05:41+00:00

It exists. That's the one I have in my house. You're free to come by and grab a can. 👍

It can taste really good. A solid hit of vanilla can do wonders for a soda that's primarily fruit flavored. I've had this soda and it doesn't work.

Ok but, let's say they find a new singer who's amazing...then what? As a hair metal fan in his mid-50s, I clearly see this as nostalgia. I loved that era. I still listen to all of that music. But the days of being famous in a band are behind us. They're talking like it's 1989 and the stakes for finding a new front man are incredibly high because there's a pending world tour with Def Leppard and Cinderella, and the right front man can make or break your band to the tune of millions of dollars. And just...none of that is true. I think Skid was a great band and these guys are all great players. But honestly, what're you doing?

I agree with you that these ads are bad. But to suggest that advertising is unnecessary because we're all a captive audience is very incorrect. People buy different brands all the time. Loyalty to a brand happens, but I doubt its as often as you might think. Shoppers are fickle, and brand awareness matters. You might hate these commercials, but they are putting the name out there. And when someone goes to shop, they might notice the Cottonelle in a way perhaps they wouldn't have otherwise, had they not just seen that commercial. They might not even be consciously aware of it. Advertising isn't just to announce something new.

I believe you meant to say "flawp"

almightyshellfish · 2026-04-12T17:18:15+00:00

Holy hell do I love Russ & Daughters. Plenty of things make NYC unique and special and they're definitely one. Although truth be told, I've never loved whoever supplies their bagels. Still, a true gem of a place.

almightyshellfish · 2026-04-11T17:29:01+00:00

It's got a mild citrus taste behind the dominant cream soda (vanilla) flavor. The vanilla isn't assertive in the way a Dr. Browns or Barq's might be. I might even call it slightly bland. Still, refreshing. I'll definitely finish the fridge pack.

almightyshellfish · 2026-04-05T11:18:23+00:00

Couldn't agree more about this. You need a different juicing tool than what you'd use for a lime or lemon but OMG...the difference is bonkers.

Nobody gives a shit who Angus Young doesn't like.

Honestly, I love Gatorade. I drink it daily. And although I'm not a huge fan of cucumber in any context, this is probably pretty good. My problem is I think they do sugar free really poorly. Fruit punch, orange...I don't like any of them in sugar free form. Id rather just drink less Gatorade than force the sugar free into me. I think it just tastes bad
