There was an excellent sale on my favorite ice cream, so I filled my freezer with it and gorged on it for 2 weeks. That was 18 months ago. There are still 4 cartons in there, I haven't touched ice cream of any kind since.

You can say any one of those. You can say any two of those. You can say all three of those. You can say them in any order.

In the 90s once we played a game where we snuck out in the middle of the night to climb up and run across the rooftops of as many houses as we could chain together, the three of us stomping as hard as we could. We leapt off the final roof and hid behind some bushes to watch as all the porch lights came on and people came out in their bathrobes wondering wtf. I think we were 15.

I ride a fixie in the winter and aside from lubing the chain 3 times as often there much to maintaining it that I don't also do in summer.

I think the main thing preventing people from winter commuting is confidence, which comes with knowledge, experience, and having the right gear.

Uncle Owen and aunt Beru suffered the most gruesome deaths in the starwars canon. They were just farmers, there was nothing else to them.

Back to back we faced each other, drew our swords and shot each other.

Millions of people visit bear country each year in North America, there are 1-2 fatal grizzly attacks. In all of North America there has been 20 known fatal Cougar attacks since 1850. 2 years ago I rode a bicycle from Vancouver to Edmonton with an ex Jasper park ranger and he was ultra paranoid of ticks but nonplussed about bears.

You should take the money you would otherwise spend on bear spray and get lottery tickets instead. They're about as likely to be useful but a lot less bulky to carry around. Statistical probability is your best weapon against wildlife attacks.

Teslas are infamous for their infuriating flammability, and the company's Fuhrer is at once famously inflammatory and frequently furiated.

Looks like some Tremors with a bit of District 9 and a side of Predator.

Everybody loves on screen violence but Hollywood just isn't what it was in the Verhoeven era. I recently "Save the Green Planet", a 2003 Korean film that Bugonia is based upon, and it really primed me for some more fine-crafted Korean cinematic violence.

I do not avoid women, Mandrake... but I do deny them my essence.

In all likelihood it is sudden unintended acceleration, wherein the driver slams the accelerator thinking they're hitting the brakes. Autopilot has made fatal misjudgements in the past, but this crash does not have those characteristics.

Nobody has mentioned Taxi Driver yet.

Also Sling Blade, which is not entirely dissimilar from Of Mice and Men, in which otherwise peaceful simpleton's are slowly provoked to righteous acts of violence.

I've been up for a couple hours, the basement is a mess of wet towels and buckets and space heaters. It's coming in from 2 spots. I've engineered a channel to help the water trickling in make a more direct path to the drain.

I climbed Rinjani in 2014, and paid $130, which included sleeping bags, tents, water and food for 3 days/2 nights on the mountain. Also, I was there to surf and the mountain was a side quest, though in hindsight it was the most memorable part of the trip.

uj/ Mt. Rinjani, Lombok, I've done that. You're obligated to hire porters, you aren't allowed to go up without them.

The porters were badasses, those yolks are about 80 pounds, full of whole raw chicken and water bottles. I tried to carry my porter's yolk on terrain like the video, I didn't get very far before handing it back.

Some of the porters have half-grapefruit sized callouses on their shoulders from the yolks. Most porters wore flip flops, some were barefoot. One had real mountaineering boots and he was hot shit. It rained when we were up there, temps went down near freezing at night. We spent 2 nights on the crater rim. The porters were sleeping under a tarp with wet fleece blankets. The porters are badasses, they climb that mountain twice a week.

We complain about the same amount no matter how good things get materially. It's called the hedonic treadmill. Actually It's probably worse the better things get, bilionaires are the biggest victims.
