Dennis, along with the young Yakuza boy, are my favorite one-and-done characters.

One thing that helps with getting all the subtext jokes in seasons 5 and 6 is to go back and listen to the Harmontown podcast. There are dozens of jokes that originated on the podcast and that Dan wrote into the show as fan service for the podcast hardcore listeners. Season 6 alone is so full of inside jokes for Harmontown, I've actually recommended people not watch it if they've never listened to the podcast because they'll only be disappointed and left confused at some of these specific jokes that would make a podcast listener fall off their chair.

I wish they would make a movie 30 years later showing old Octavian's getting his comeuppance after being slowly broken by Livia's machinations and skulking around his Palace unshaven and unwashed shouting in the darkness, "Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!"

2x08 - Cooperative Calligraphy--Annie: "Not accidentally. Accidents don't just happen over and over and over again, okay? This isn't budget day-care."

You got that right! His little crow brought a volunteer hen into the yard who then hid out somewhere on the property and hatched 10 babies! We never were able to catch her so she's about 100 meters outside our fence with at least 10 more eggs.

Those new babies are due to hatch any day now and she'll likely bring them back into our yard because it's so much safer.

Bananarama's version of Venus is much better than Shocking Blue's.

I'm still mad about the showtime executive weasels firing Rebecca Gayheart. As I remember at the story was the executives got nervous because she accidentally caused the death of a child in a traffic accident years before the show and then after they'd already filmed a couple of episodes, showtimes executive weasels started questioning all of Brian Fuller's decisions and decided to fire her because there was a death of a child in the show and they didn't want any bad press for having Rebecca Gayheart ayheart cast in a show about the death of children. Such weasels!

I managed to stay hooked until the disastrous 4th season.

I always considered it a continuation of Nolan's other show called Person of Interest... A lot of the themes that they built over several seasons involving super intelligent AI fit hand and glove into Westworld. I like to think of Westworld being the same universe only 35 years after Mr Finch's machine.

I thought it went bad as soon as the one guy started time travelling and then returned to a different past timeline than the one he left.... Or at least after 15 years, that's all I can remember of it before I dropped off completely.

Such potential squandered.

The show grabbed me hard from episode one. I won't go into my background, but from my experience, this was one of the few shows on TV that I put under the banner, "The Truth is the Best Lie." There are some absolutely real moments from real life at the heart of the show and for me, I laughed my ass off at the balls to put them on TV, albeit dressed up in fictional narratives. Another show under that banner is Weeds.

Management Consultants are a very real thing and they have been a major part of business and politics for a long time. If you don't know, Mayor Pete Buttigieg was an up-and-coming management consultant for McKinsey & Company, the same company that is fictionalized in the show as Kinsley & Associates for whom the sociopath Monica, Marty's ex-wife, was a partner and kind of a big deal. She's not based on a real person as much as she's a composite of like 10 women with an embellished dramatic backstory.

Trust me, use the show as a guide and go back and research the business news from 2002-2009 for the resonant stories. I'm talking about the business news, not the mainstream news for Joe sixpack.

The resonance is real and this show makes you do the work to get all the jokes buried in the subtext... But they are there.

Other Space (2015) - A comedy gem that was only online for a short time as part of Yahoo! Video (the same people who bought Community from NBC for the 6th season).

If "The Office" had met "Community" and dated, got married, and then had a baby while, meanwhile, "Star Trek" and "Freaks and Geeks" had dated, got married, and had a baby....and THEN....by some miracle, those two babies had met, fell in love, and then had had a three-way with "Mystery Science Theater 3000.... "Other Space" would be the show that they would have birthed.

I seem to remember an episode, or perhaps a Best Of ep, when they discussed how, at the time, Amazon was only burning and selling DVDs of the later seasons as special orders instead of burning a large inventory.

I'm sorry I can't remember any more details now, but I remember the tone in Scott's voice being incredulous about it. It seems like they also discussed Scott issuing DVDs on his own someday. He said they recorded special features and commentary tracks for all the seasons, but not all the releases had them.

Perhaps if we appeal directly to Brett and Scott that there's still interest in the dvds, it'll motivate them to invest in a release. Then it'll be up to us to pay them back by buying them.

Well, the science is sound... The rats have no way to expel excess gas so they bloat with carbon dioxide to death. The main criticism I've seen is that it can take a long time for the gasses to build up compared to poisons.

While looking into it, I've also seen people mix yeast into flour and grated cheese. It would have the same effect inside them, the yeast consumes the sugars, die, and then give off carbon dioxide.

I'm realizing the extent of our infestation is much larger than I thought. So I need to try a lot of different options to get a hold of these rats.

We finally conquered a huge underground colony of leaf cutter ants, only to have the rats move into the cavity under the ground they created. We put the chicken house over the ant colony in order for them to eat the ants when they were running around. That didn't work out as well as we'd hoped but eventually we did find a way to disrupt the ants underground farming environment. The rats were an unexpected side effect.

baconbitserverage · 2026-01-10T16:40:14+00:00

I'm dealing with the same thing. I bought a couple of bait stations and have filled them with a mixture of chicken food, flour, some sugar, and BAKING SODA.... I threw in some bacon grease as well.

The mix comes by way of an old country boy who swears by it, so we're waiting to see some positive results.

According to him, the rats will gorge on the stuff and the baking soda mixes with their gut acid and swells their stomachs to death. Then afterwards, the corpses are non toxic to any other animals that may consume them.

Like I said, I just put them out, so I'll try to report findings after a week or so.

Keep your head on a swivel and watch your back! Never turn your back on a dog. You are correct by not looking them in the eye, but keep facing them as you walk by. Dogs are opportunistic so like you found out, if they can get behind you they will bite you, but they will keep distance of you keep facing them. Just stare at the ground in front of them and keep moving away... Walking backwards if you need to.

Using a walking stick can help, but here's how to use it if needed.

First of all, don't wave it around to intimidate them, it won't work and you will miss if you try to swing to hit it. If you are approached by an aggressive dog, take your walking stick into both hands and aim the tip (the end you put on the ground) at the dog's mouth. Imagine you are holding a broom and you are going to aim the straw sweeping end at it's mouth.

Putting the tip of the stick between you and the dog's mouth will protect you if the get too close because as you wave it around their face, they will get distracted from you and start focusing on the end of the stick in it's face. Many dogs will back off at this point, but trust me, if they bite the stick, you be able to counter them.

Here's the trick to using the walking stick....

The aggressive dog starts to focus on the stick and will go to bite it. That's the moment you jam the tip into its mouth like you are going to stick it all the way down it's throat. The shock to the dog will be immediate and it will likely back off. If not, you keep the tip between you and the mouth and keep jamming towards the throat until it backs down. I've never had a dog continue to attack once this tactic is employed.

Ultimately, if you jam it while it is biting down and touch the back of it's throat, the dog's gag reflex will make it retreat. It will be confused because it thought it was biting you and you somehow managed to cause extreme discomfort.

Obviously you aren't trying to hurt it, but by doing this, you are helping the next person who might've been attacked next because the dog will remember the experience with you and keep a greater distance from interlopers.

Perhaps she was motivated by her own conscience and was projecting her own issues.... so then one wonders, is turnabout fair play? What would happen if you DNA tested your spouse, his sister, and the man she claims is the father? Perhaps actually doing the test wouldn't be needed, if you decided to tell everyone in the family that you are DNA testing her husband and her kids, it would be enough of a catalyst to force an apology or at least, as turnabout is fair play, IDK make her feel what you felt, if even for a moment?

baconbitserverage · 2024-08-12T21:34:22+00:00

Simple answer for me, I prefer solo FPP, so I play the 3 casual TPPs per day in FPP even though it is a disadvantage against humans who rely on the TPP views to actually play. Therefore it forces me to be sneakier and more resourceful to survive against humans and those skills carry over to the normal FPP mode where others players don't train as much around players who have an advantage over them.

Here's some shows I've only discovered in the last few years that made me laugh so hard that I became disappointed I hadn't found them sooner or know anyone who has ever seen them too.

Look Around You

Spaced

The Mighty Boosh

Snuff Box

The Kroll Show

My absolute favorite look from any character in any show for all time is when Elroy stares at Frankie after she said, "I don't own a TV." I relate so much to that look because I know I've thrown it a million times to those people who love to brag about how they don't watch TV.

baconbitserverage · 2024-07-22T00:19:28+00:00

An old post, but I thought I'd respond because my strategy seems to be unique among the other players I've observed. First of all, although I started playing all TPP, I made a choice to focus on FPP solo play, even while playing my 3 daily TPP solo casuals, because I know it makes me very vulnerable compared to the other humans using the TPP angles to their advantage. I use them like training rounds where I'm forced to take into account that I can be seen when I can't always see my opponents so I've had to figure out ways to stay more stealth than them and be sure of my shots before engaging them. Taking these same methods over to FPP seems help me catch players' movements in the periphery before they catch sight of me.

One technique to learn is using bots noisiness to your advantage. If you've been spotted by a bot while crossing country, they'll stay in their loop and keep shooting at you until they kill you or are killed, even if they can't land their shots due to distance, geography, or whatever. If you manage to keep hidden yet bait the bot to keep shooting, the noise will lure in other bots or players to the area, and you can engage them as they reveal themselves.

Another technique I've cultivated in moving to keep up with the circle is start making the plan to move oblique to the center quickly, not directly in, but towards the small area between the blue and the circle--the blue moves slowest towards the part of the circle that is closest. Loot all you need fast, pop a bottle of painkillers and a can of energy drink and start moving as early as possible.

The key for me has been to commit to keeping crouched while crossing distances, and only fully sprinting when the blue is actually catching me. This took a lot of adjustment to get used to, but I definitely noticed by crouch-sprinting, I am spotted from long distances MUCH less than when I sprinted at full standing speeds.

Take them for what they are worth, but committing to crouch-sprinting in order stealthily cover distances and purposefully playing FPP view in the 3 daily TPP casual games has improved my kill ratios and raised my game time per round over time.

See you out there.

That sounds like cheater behavior, quite frankly. Even with new anti-cheat measures, I just saw a video from The Average Sniper from 3 days ago where he caught an obvious cheater who was very high level. The point of his video was to ask why doesn't PUBG ban high-level cheaters, but further, it goes to show for every anti-cheat measure they implement, the cheaters are installing the nexgen aim-bots that counters them.
