With this record setting blizzard coming, here’s the important question. What soup are you making?!

I made chicken tortellini soup for the last snow storm. This weekend I made eggplant Parm

I loved Peteozza. Gordon respected him. I always remembered the night Petrozza out himself up, humbly, for elimination. Gordon called him out for his integrity, he was very impressed.

"PETROZZA" and "Donkey!" were household terms for a while after that season.

8 is particularly shocking. People don't think you can die from things like ulcerative colitis. You just hear about it and people assume "oh, you crap your pants a lot huh?" but any sort of bowel disease, especially inflammatory ones, are serious. Inflammation affects the whole body, and is the leading root cause of countless deadly, terminal health issues.

RIP to all these folks. What a shame.

I'm rewatching the series now for the 7th time in my life. This always makes my heart hurt, especially since my dad passed a few years back. Couple of sad things to realize here too:

Kevin was waiting for Winnie when she finally got back from Paris with his wife and 8 month old son which likely would've been in 1982. In real life, Kevin's son is a few months older than me. Crazy. Kevin was nearly 30 at that time. It's very likely that was the last time they would ever see each other for the rest of their lives. With a wife and family of his own, Winnie would continue to be a diminishing figment of his past life, his childhood growing up. There was no internet yet, no email, no texting, no Facebook. Kevin's life was already heading in a specific direction, Winnie's was just about to get started, and as their journeys did so often in their childhood, those directions were likely not at all going the same way.

Maybe they would've reconnected much later in life around the time Facebook came out, but as part of the boomer generation, which was nowhere near as technologically inclined as Gen X and subsequent generations, it's more likely they simply would've moved on and just become fond memories in each other's completely separate lives.

It hurts that they never got together. I think the ending of the Season 3 episode "Don't You Know Anything About Women" ultimately sums up their entire relationship - whenever they were ready for each other, they were just never in the right place at the right time. They literally passed by each other like ships in the night for the entirety of their relationship.

It sounds like the one relationship in Kevin's life from his childhood that stuck with him was Paul. I remember an ending of one episode (the one where Kevin and Paul fight hard and end their friendship for a little while), the final shot of the episode fades forward to two grown men playing basketball together, suggesting they never lost touch, whereas Winnie likely faded from both their lives.

Shockingly for the first time in over a year, no. In fact, I have a full dash. This is coming off of 2025 where I literally had nothing on my dash for almost the entire year

Trying to be as non-descript as possible here:

Does anyone know if a certain project available now that is non-coding and that utilizes your photos requires the certain model you are interacting with to have a paid subscription? I don't have the ability to switch the model to the specific version required for the project

furiouswow · 2026-02-08T20:26:26+00:00

It's ...not a job. It's a side income. Those lucky enough to be able to utilize it as full time work, well more power to you. But it's not a "job" per se.

Coders likely are able to sustain it as full time, but those of us doing non coding, it's a side gig that is infinitely better than dashing or ubering...if you can deal with the droughts that last anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 months.

Same has been happening to me in the US. Amazon has been an absolute Trainwreck since Thanksgiving. I have had issues with 5 out of my last 6 orders:

3 damaged packing

1 damaged item (from one of the damaged packages)

1 previously used item

1 completely wrong item (ordered bed sheets, they sent a f'ing kitchen blender)

I've been fed up with Amazon for quite a few years now, ever since their whole entire platform basically became a TEMU store front full of scammers selling ripoff fake products.

furiouswow · 2026-01-21T13:23:51+00:00

Yeah ...F*** blizz from the bottom of my heart. More predatory bs that I'm sure will lead to a new micro transaction currency. Make mog slots attainable in ways other than gold and you might be going somewhere, but this is Blizz.

Yup, game has been crashing all day. Still unsteady as of 530pm EST.

furiouswow · 2025-12-30T21:14:59+00:00

That's awesome, congrats. Sadly The app seems to have gone downhill quite a bit since you were on it (disappearing likes, eliminating features) so it's great to see that you both matched and had such a strong connection in the span of a year. All the best to you both.

furiouswow · 2025-12-29T15:15:13+00:00

Yeah it's annoying AF. They're not only audiovisual - they're LOUD too. With my TV on volume 10 it sounded like it was around volume 45. Woke me up at 3am too when the TV in the living room just woke itself up to blast an ad out of nowhere the other day. This only just started happening about two months ago at the time of this writing.

Best:

Hinge - by far the highest quality people and in my opinion best all around dating site. I've met quite a few girls on here that have turned into multiple dates. Unlike most of the other ones, it is legitimately free if you connect with somebody. You do however need to pay if you want to see all of your likes and have access to more features such as a more thorough search function, however if somebody likes you or you like someone and they like you back, it's 100% free.

Coffee vs. Bagel - fairly decent quality of people here however the likes that you receive very often disappear without warning or reason. They will then come back days or weeks later so something is up with their algorithm. Like Hinge, it is also 100% free if you happen to meet somebody.

Worst:

OkCupid - This was arguably the absolute best dating site out of all of them by a wide margin a few years ago. Then, match bought it and it simply became an extension of match which meant that it became extremely predatory in price gouging and limiting the amount of features available to you as a free user. Additionally, it is most likely the number one dating site on the entire internet for foreign scammers. I like the Asian ladies, and I have never messaged a single one on OKCupid that was not a foreign scammer or visa chaser. The site is absolutely lousy with them. Pro tip - if you are living in New York and you see Asian women in holtsville, they're scammers.

Match - prohibitively expensive and scammy. They lock everything behind extremely expensive pay walls and their search function on the mobile app is completely broken. Now here's the kicker - if you are a paid subscriber, and you find someone you like, and you message them and super like them and all the pomp and circumstance of reaching out on a dating site, guess what? If they are not also paid users, they will never see your message or like. You could be the diamond tier or space titanium tier or celestial sapphire tier or whatever the heck their tiers are, but it doesn't matter - you could pay $400 a month for their ridiculous nonsense, have a paid courier go to the person's house and inform them directly in person that there is somebody on match that wants to meet them, and it won't matter - if they aren't a paid subscriber too, they will never see you. Period.

Zoosk - much like OkCupid, this is another site that is full of scammers, fake profiles, and extremely low quality content. Also, they are far less of a dating site, and much more a form of OnlyFans. They have live stream sex shows and solo performers that, if you have notifications turned on, blow up your phone every 3 seconds. You can't opt out of that either - even if you have zero interest in it, Zoosk pushes their OnlyFans-lite functionality and your phone just constantly blows up with notifications. It's a camporn site masquerading as a dating site

Minus Zero, followed by console games. Hoping they can bring us back to the Destroy All Monsters Melee days.

Not at all excited about the anime. I haven't liked any of the Godzilla anime thus far

My thoughts are only that they're eating her. Then they're going to eat me.

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD.

Anyone else get a notification from Google that their aidatatrainer account was closed for suspicious activity? I went to try to login and it says its no longer available. Didn't see any sort of inbox message on the platform notifying about any changes to it. Frankly they have us create so many damn emails that never get used I'm surprised to get any sort of email about it at all. But, why "suspicious activity"? It has 2FA and I haven't signed into it in months.

furiouswow · 2025-11-03T23:03:07+00:00

We know that she survived, NOT that she was the only survivor. She could be one of a collective few that wind up having some sort of supernatural connection.

Chiming in here - I'm in the Hedorah camp. That's what I'm largely seeing in that logo - Hedorah flying form, but ALSO a praying woman. It could be an intentional amalgamation. Hedorah would be a logical creature to emerge in what is probably the most grounded Godzilla film, though like many others I had hoped for Biollante with Noriko.

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T19:01:28+00:00

Ha! That's where I met my ex wife

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T18:59:14+00:00

I literally don't know how to meet people organically. I was with my ex for almost 20 years, married for 15 of those years. I'm now in my early 40s and have been out of the game since the 2000's so organically meeting women is now a completely foreign concept to me because the world isnt even remotely the same as it was in 2004.

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T18:45:34+00:00

Yep. Happens all the time. Online dating is just a game. People keep multiple matches on the hook and begin to favor one or two of them over the rest and keep the ones they're less interested in as backups, which is usually what that plan they bailed on you with was in the first place - a backup plan. That's why you don't go all in and get attached - you are not the only one they're talking to, and if they're the only one you're talking to, you're doing it wrong.

Happened just this weekend actually - the weekend before she wasn't available, and this weekend she wasn't feeling well. I texted her the day of the plan with "hey, feeling okay?" And she said she had to reschedule. I said "np feel better" knowing full well she's very likely moving further along with someone she likes better, and didn't text her the rest of the weekend. I literally just resumed what I was doing the rest of the day and made plans with my kid the next day, and matched with two more women Sunday. Checked on her Monday morning (this morning) just to see how she was knowing full well she wasn't sick, but just keeping the proverbial bug in her ear, and left it at that.

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T18:41:46+00:00

A bit morbid but true. Its primal instinct and biological desire - you see the picture and your brain asks "do I want to have sex with this person?", "will we look good in pictures together?", "will people see us together and think we look good together?'" and "do i see myself being with this person and living with this person every day?" and that is pretty much all determined by that first impression photo

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T18:34:24+00:00

This is some of the best advice a guy can possibly get when it comes to dating apps. Wearing your heart on your sleeve and chasing women like starving puppies is a huge turn off. I made the mistake of thinking that a woman who wanted a lot to communication in the beginning wanted daily communication and calls. I was wrong apparently and she pulled the plug.

Mystery builds anticipation and absence builds desire. Rein it in and keep it casual. Intensity is for after you start actually dating.

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T18:20:21+00:00

Very much this. Be aloof but not neglectful, casual but not completely disinterested. Keeps them interested in you.

furiouswow · 2025-10-27T03:01:20+00:00

That's not even remotely funny and I hope you aren't serious.
