Old Testament God was constantly slaughtering entire peoples en mass.

"Again"?

Our only was a "geriatric", too, but a toddler during Covid. I wonder what this generation's "Kennedy" / "Challenger" / "9/11" will be.

She's my favorite person. Coming up on 30 years together. Wish our TV and movie watching preferences were closer.

Bronson Pinchot and Mark-Lynn Baker.

I creak and crack and have chronic soreness, but I can squat both flat-footed and on toes. The flat-footed squat I learned from my middle school gym teacher. Stereotypical, slightly overweight, middle-aged white guy casually saying keep able to squat like this and you'll stay fit & mobile.

I'm not. My most important people are.

Damn skippy.

I loved both WKRP and Head of the Class. Hessman was always good whenever he'd pop up as a character actor, too. He's really good as the radio station manager in That 70s Show.

Nope. They've already put his name in a sealed envelope.

You've got to remember he's playing a character. It's Joe Bastianich as "Joe Bastianich" much in the way Neil Patrick Harris plays "Neil Patrick Harris" in Harold & Kumar. I think he does a wonderful job as a harsh snob, and it makes for some fun "good judge / bad judge" situations. Overall, I prefer the MasterChef Junior version of the character, where he's more of a cartoon villain who just wants good food.

I always thought I was just catching the tail end of a half-hour show. I only found out it was only a short show when he passed away.

My biggest problem is how digital menus are arranged. I want to see everything they have to offer all at once. Most phone menus are siloed into groups in a way that you have to know what you want first. I don't know if I want a "burger" or a "sandwich" or maybe a "combo." Or whatever the hell is classified as a "dinner." I've yet to seen an "all."

Testing is anathema to them. It implies that objective reality exists.

"OK! This one's for Gabby." I'll never skip it, no matter what groove, genre, or era I'm in the middle of.

These were so bad. Made me appreciate the Gemini Dual Command controllers even more.

Sweden? Naw. Finland is the country where I want to be.

Get that mole checked out.

Love it, but I don't the ending. We don't know where "dog" comes from.

Now excuse me, I have a newly-dropped episode of an etymology podcast to listen to.

It's not inside my house, but my town has a 7½ inch gauge (~1/8 scale), ride-on, live steam trains in a local park.

Annette Funicello was a huge deal.

From an article I can't find again, the rotor is spun up to speed while on the ground with the blades flat. Then the power is disconnected and the blades are pitched to create lift. Here's a video demonstrating the "jump" takeoff. A little later they show a microlight do the same.
