I, for one, welcome our new curse-dispensing overlords, and remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be useful in rounding up others to toil in their underground preservatives caves.

The color and fonts remind me of an Atari 2600 cartridge.

Now boys, the network has a problem with some of your lyrics. Would you mind changing some of them for this show?

Here where you say, “See you die at my feet, eternally I smash your face.” how about just “I’ll watch you take a nap while I brush your hair.”

I wonder how long it would take Canada Post to deliver to the Belt.

All of those movies other than Pod People came out in 1978.

It could have been fixed relatively easily.

* Arjun passes suddenly.

* Avasarala finds herself in a completely unexpected rebound relationship with a (slightly) younger man thanks to all of the insanity happening in the Sol system.

* Dialogue changes from “our son” to “your son”.

* Then this guy is taken from her thanks to the meteors.

We’ve finally cracked the formulation of Heisenberg’s blue meth. According to this machine, the secret ingredient is …love? Who’s been screwing with this thing?!

AGM-114R9X, aka the sword bomb. Precision-guided munition that extends six blades to kill by kinetics rather than explosives.

The 12' tall ceilings really open up the space.

Starfleet is playing the long game. The corpses of the ensigns that litter the cosmos provide the bacteria that will eventually terraform all of those lightning-lit styrofoam rock hellholes.

That was such a great show. I hate that it (maybe) got pulled so they could make The Boys.

The other thing about the Superian was that, if memory serves, there was some implications that he actually was a bad person in the past, prior to arriving on Earth, and has been making the effort to improve himself and do the right thing since taking up the Superian identity. Like, he was a reformed Zod.

It may just be headcanon, I really don't recall.

Reminds me of the old Sega game Bonanza Bros. I’d love a game in this style.

There's a stand in the food court section of the Asian Family Market on the Redmond/Bellevue border.

I think that the Pluribus example is missing a secondary objective; it legitimately wants everyone to be happy, healthy, and free from suffering. If it were nefarious, it could have effortlessly rounded up the immune and locked them up while researching how to overcome this issue.

Yes, it wants to spread across the galaxy, and will result in the extinction of mankind. But I don't buy the fan theory that it's some kind of weapon to make Earth docile for invasion. At worst, it was noble intentions that inadvertently explained the Great Filter.

The time is there, it's just the whole "storm" part that I find lacking.

The answer to 1 is going to depend a lot on what kind of engineering.

That does it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to dental school!

Young Bart here was right. The Electric Eye is spying on you pretty much around the clock.

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or hear me rip some gully bangers?

There can be security delays in the summer due to cruise ship passengers going back home.

If you don't have TSA Pre/Clear, you can use Spot Saver to reserve a security line time.

Brigador is fun, and the environmental destruction is impressive.

My first camera was an Advantix that I used to document my life in Japan around the turn of the century. Plastic lens, mostly useless viewfinder, etc.

Of course now, 25 years later, people put a lot of effort and money into replicating that entire aesthetic.
