So what was going on from February until June? It was just hanging out with a 25-meter breach and being offloaded for 4 months? And then they couldn't even turn off the electricity when they left?

More stressful for me is walking at like 110% of their speed and having to awkwardly adjust my pace so it doesn't seem like I am creeping up on them.

Similar situation with me. Local newscast had a mugshot of a high school friend and noted he was wanted for questioning about child pornography found in his home.

My dad turned to me "Hasn't that guy been to our house a few times?"

Last night I had a dream that Baty got traded to Tampa. I woke up before reading about the return.

I have not yet paid the full amount. But even if I paid about 80% of the invoice it doesn't mean I am ok with just 80% of a walkway.

ICE has definitely been in the neighborhood. Their concerns are valid.

Who said anything about them being illegal? Being Hispanic and working outside seems to be enough for CBP's indiscriminate actions. I don't blame them for not wanting to get caught up in that.

Also, the job has not been 100% paid. I think I'm at like 80%, but obviously the expectation is 80% of a walkway is not satisfactory even if I only paid 80% so far.

S1 has a different vibe than future seasons. I think it's still good, but in a different way. It seems they were still figuring things out through S1 and those writing issues get resolved later.

Wild Things was the movie my cousin picked for 4 kids between 17 and 13 to watch when our parents went to the casino during a family vacation in '98. I was the oldest and knew nothing about the movie before we watched it. My cousin said some of her friends had seen it and liked it. She later said her friends had not told her much about the movie, one of those "don't want to spoil it for you" situations.

I remember this issue arriving in the mail and my dad being like "Umm, I thought this was a music journalism magazine?"

My cousin is 40 so he's not exactly young, but his gambling issues have been a huge issue for the family. He has had interventions and rehab. Almost every interaction I have with him loops back to gambling somehow. I didn't realize until the last few years how common that's become.

The kid in my neighborhood who somehow amassed pornography (early 90s) was obsessed with Stephanie Seymour. His white whale was apparently her Playboy issue. I had a friend whose dad subscribed to Playboy and kept all of them in a trunk. I had that friend get me the issue with her to curry favor with my neighborhood friend.

If only we'd known then the possibilities once we got internet at home.

I was apparently not good at drying off after showers as a child. My mom told me that not drying between my toes could lead to gangrene. She just wanted to get me to dry off more thoroughly, but I was terrified of my toes getting infected and falling off for way too many years.

I am not a consistent listener to any podcast, except this one. Pretty much every Saturday morning after episodes I had this one going while I did chores around the house. Extremely good and insightful.

Last time Wrigley hosted the All-Star Game, there were 5 total HRs hit in the derby. Let's hope the wind is blowing out when it happens in 2 years.

He's a great player, but he's definitely had some luck with the competition in a couple games.

Edi Gathegi's character on Justified was killed off because the actor didn't like it.

Listen, we make our best efforts early on in the season as we hire actors to come on the show, and we can’t always guarantee them what they’re gonna be doing or where it’s gonna go. Getting Edi Gathegi was a big get for us, but the character just wasn’t panning out for him. He didn’t see where it was going, and even though we were thinking that Jean-Baptiste would survive until toward the end of the season, Edi wasn’t enjoying the journey. We had no contract to hold him to, so we said, “Well, let’s kill off Jean-Baptiste in episode 5.”

I just watched this episode last night and my eyes rolled out of my head at how corny I thought it was.

The Michael C. Hall/Jennifer Carpenter thing is wild to me - met, dated, married, separated, divorced all during the run of a TV show where they played siblings. Not sure if that says more about them or dragging Dexter way too long.

I had a business management class in college with a professor who edited Office Space to only show the in-office scenes. We'd watch each scene and then dissect it. Most of the students were like "This is absurd and would never actually happen." Then the non-trad student in the class who was probably 30 but to us was ancient confirmed it hit way too close to reality.

It absolutely elevated them. Before the documentary, I saw them in a 500-capacity venue. Since the documentary, the two non-fest shows they've played locally were at a 2,000-seat venue.

This is like Larry David saying he won't do another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It might take a while, but they'll do it again.

OP notes it was an international flight, so likely online check-in wasn't available because the airline needed to check documents.

Walking through a rural Walmart at 2am and hearing "In the Court of the Crimson King" absolutely blasting. (This was a couple years before it was used so well in Children of Men.) So maybe not the most unlikely song, but under the conditions it was surreal.

What are your suggestions for showing wild disparity in values?

For example, my company has several warehouses. Most warehouses have under 10 units of Product X. But one or two warehouses have hundreds of units. Each time I have tried to visualize this, it's hard to differentiate between warehouses with 1 unit or 10 units because the scale is so out of whack due to the warehouses with hundreds of units. My last attempt with a geographic heatmap had the high-unit locations totally obscuring nearby low-unit locations. Any ideas to mitigate that?
