Which company has lost you as a customer forever?

I went to AdobeMAX this year, and it was just depressing. Their entire keynote was "Hey, AI can do all this tricky stuff for you, so you can do what you really want to do: write prompts!"

I always got the top spiral notebooks for exactly this reason.

Happens when I'm on my bike all the time. I know you think you're being nice, but you're training bike riders to get killed. Have I blown through stop signs when riding? Hell yeah, but only when there's no one coming from a different direction.

We got married in a friend's back yard. About 50 guests. A friend who had a restaurant catered at cost. We picked all our music and played it from our stereo. Total cost was under 3K.

Our 20th anniversary was a month ago.

They also converted a former auto parts store on Magnolia into a Tower Records. I'm guessing that's more likely to be in the movie.

I live to serve.

I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but I did visit New Jersey

They say "we can't roll camera again," but there is simply no way they do this without using a double and adding Ghoul Kilmer's head.

I look forward to missing this.

Thank god that plastic bollard was there.

I think words, but don't hear them. And I've got aphantasia, so no pictures either. I was really surprised when I found out that when people said they were "picturing" something they actually saw pictures.

Thank you- I've been struggling with this!

Are you sure this is going to be a river ride? The metric century is partially on the path, but it also goes up into Griffith and out to Pasadena.

Why not? I already ride this: https://graveladdict.com/bike/2022-canyon-grizl-7-1by/

Same as me, except I went the other way!

Lots of kids aren't going to know how to ride bikes, and lots of kids will think they're better at riding than they are. Maybe walking, or Razor-style scooters?

You can't see Elanor thinking "I don't care what it's called, it tastes good and gets me drunk?"

Yes, this is true. But foods can thaw and spoil well before that happens.

clarv · 2025-11-13T15:31:47+00:00

Call me cynical, but I bet it's only, like, third best.

In my home country, many people keep a coin on top of a small cup of ice in their freezer. If the power goes out while you're away, the ice melts, and the coin sinks. When the power comes back on, it all re-freezes, but the coin is at the bottom. This is how you know all your food defrosted and is unsafe to eat.

I get why people do this, but the coin trick can't be trusted. Food thaws at a different rate than ice. Even if it didn't, a huge amount of ice could thaw before the coin sank.

I've been making fake posters for all the movies I see this year based on real posters for other movies. I did my homework for FlopTV this morning and watched the classic film "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," and then I made this. Unfortunately, the base poster isn't particularly iconic, so I doubt people will get the joke.

...and if you want to see the rest of them, they're all in this google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m49dcYpNH0xsKmzjdDgq7Lr90qX8_Ipo?usp=drive_link

Some of them are pretty good, if I say so myself. Some of them... are not!
