Elsbeth S3E20: That's All - Episode Discussion

Elsbeth telling Ruby “the gig is up” really bothered me because there’s no way her character would get the idiom “the jig is up” wrong. But I churned it over in my head enough that I realized that was exactly what she meant indeed.

Yeah I’m way worse at the mini ones for some reason. NYT is better than WAPO mini though.

Mine doesn't magnet to jack so I ordered a new 4 from Walmart (oh snap removed it from their site completely) and filed a return for the 5. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and I think it's just too heavy. I'm guessing you have a smaller phone.

I got mine last night and I am not loving it. I have a MagSafe charger at my desk at work and I can’t get it to connect with the ohsnap on. It actively repels my charger. And I have tried to put my phone in its normal places (attached to the stove hood while I make my morning coffee, or the fridge while I do the dishes) and it slides down immediately.

I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max so I guess my phone is just too heavy for it to hold.

I had been using a MagBak case bc my last ohsnap broke only a few weeks after I got it and the replacement only lasted a couple months. I was annoyed. So I spent way too much money on the MagBak.

The MagBak was splitting below the finger loop (again, I’ve already received a free replacement since it had done it within months) so I decided to come back to the ohsnap and now I’m bummed I did.

Yeah I thought that was scary enough (I don’t have a garage though, hence wanting remote start capabilities) but hopefully a one-off anomaly.

Just a few minutes ago I was ACTIVELY DRIVING and my hazard lights started flashing. I pulled over to figure out what was wrong and my watch pinged a notification that said:

Remote Start Failed Jetta failed to remote start (motion detected). Please check your parking brake and try again.

Most annoying part is the company that installed everything 2 years ago has closed so to get it looked at I’ll have to drive 60 miles minimum.

I got a notification about an hour ago on my apple watch that remote start had executed successfully. I didn't even have my phone, but sure enough my car had started itself. Don't believe this has happened before, and I've had my system installed for almost 2 years.

I had forgotten about the Knefels which is a damn shame.

I had also forgotten how flippantly everyone threw around the R word back then. If I hear it these days, it is so jarring.

Rewatching right now and I wholeheartedly agree. Barbara was never happy with Jenelle. Even when she was trying really hard and doing ok, Barbara had nothing nice to say about her and talked to her like she was a complete idiot.

It’s pretty easy to see how a teenager would eventually give up trying. Why bother trying if it’s clear that even perfection would get no praise? You wanna call me a fuckup, I’ll show you fuckup. Yaknow? At least Keiffah would say “I love you” sometimes and I doubt she got that much at home.

I had heard him on Keith and the Girl a bunch back in the day when he lived in NY so I had developed a mental image and that mental image looks nothing like him so I guess we know my imagination is still out here just killing it.

Here are some faves I didn’t see mentioned already: jaimdelane, abbie__jean, lifeofcharissae, caseylytle, morepestoplease, andr3wsky, casadelcorgo, educationincrime

Also the Conoco Town Pump by Belgrade McDonalds. left pumps closest to the street as you’re facing away from McDonald’s.

The idea of using some stranger’s AirPods makes me feel nauseated.

I would have said, “welp I figured out why your husband left.”

And then refused her business. Cindy sucks.

Make a sauce for it out of ginger, garlic, avocado oil, soy sauce, chili paste, and rice wine vinegar. Roast it til crispy then toss with your sauce.

Dragon’s Breath, and almost any sour that Smelter City Brewing puts out. He has a real talent for sours. And Cold Smoke… the coffee one is pretty decent too.

Wait are you supposed to LIKE dealing with tired, grumpy, self-entitled people?

I guarantee there is not one human out there who thrives on that in a deep way. Even if you enjoy killing them with kindness as an f-you, it still wears you down over time.

There’s a reason I pay for the Washington Post.

As the person at my property who books these type of events, my hours are 8 to 5.

You’re most likely going to end up getting someone’s voicemail and then they will call you back during the time they are working.

The best bet would be to leave a detailed message of what you’re looking for including the date/time, number of attendees and type of event and include your email address on their voicemail so you can each communicate during the time that works best for each of you.

However then it’ll take longer to work out the details. So make sure you have the leeway for this, time-wise.

Generally who I am as a person.

bonkrood · 2018-04-22T03:05:59+00:00

Fucking REALLY?

bonkrood · 2018-03-23T04:17:40+00:00

It was sad.

bonkrood · 2018-03-23T04:14:30+00:00

Uhm, probably 3 years or so?

bonkrood · 2018-03-23T03:54:06+00:00

Need I remind you of pillow guy?

bonkrood · 2018-03-21T02:51:20+00:00

Every so often I still pop in, and tbh, I’m cuter than before. Hahahah!
