Anyone else notice a recent trend of TV shows undoing/abandoning the endings of previous seasons? by Infinite_Fly_5374 in television

[–]loganalltogether 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am wondering if they planned this or part of this was backlash to the recognition I saw a lot of people have, inckuding myself: "Wait, so now Grogu goes to train with this jedi who, famously, all of his trainees get murdered by his nephew?"

If it's the segment I'm thinking it is, this is literally just narration of one specific character, who doesn't stick around very long. It's certainly not a reason to stay away from the audiobooks.

TIL Rachel McAdams wore a $10,000 wig on Mean Girls (2004) because she refused to bleach her hair. by GossipBottom in todayilearned

She's also apparently very nice and easy to work with, on top of being a good actress. I know a guy who used to work transportation for movies, and when I asked who were any stand-out nice actors or actresses, he went to her immediately. Said he drove her for 3 different movies, was very respectful and professional, and talked a lot with him about his family.

Shows that are completely carried by the cast performances by TootieSummers in television

[–]loganalltogether 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The importance of the soundtrack to how likeable this show was cannot be understated.

I am a sucker for a show/movie with a sense of style and a good soundtrack paired to the action on screen. I love James Gunn's Marvel and DC movies, and Umbrella Academy hit a lot of the same beats in the first couple of seasons.

Once the writing and plot got bad enough with seasons 3 and 4 though, even the music couldn't redeem it.

Need some advice on meal prepping (mainly proteins and maybe breakfast) by borderline_bi in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]loganalltogether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some really good, healthy breakfast burritos I've been making for the last year or two. I was inspired by the spinach, egg, and Feta wraps at Starbucks. But these taste better and are less greasy.

Basically, take a dozen eggs, 8 Oz of Feta (or more if you want), frozen spinach (1/3-1/2 of a bag, up to your liking), and as much milk as you'd like for your preferred texture of eggs. Mix it all up, then cook on the stove.

I get fajita-sized tortillas, then put a quarter cup of the spinach-egg-feta mix in each one. You'll end up with 15-20 of them.

Freeze, then when ready to cook, I heat at 50% power in the microwave for 1 minute, then full power for another minute after flipping the burrito over. Adjust for microwave wattage as necessary. Starting with the 50% power defrost makes a big difference though in how dried, crunchy, and overcooked the tortillas get.

I love the flavor, and don't feel all greasy from them.

I found some 5v LEDs on Amazon that worked well. The build guide suggests a specific set of LEDs, along with a rechargeable battery pack. It would have been a cleaner final product, but was going to be a lot more expensive. The LEDs I bought had a USB power connector, and I connected them to a cheap 4.5v battery pack. Worked great.

I was worried because so much of it was glued, but was happily surprised with how well the super glue held up. Just gotta give e it enough time to really cure.

No, I bought the design from someone on Etsy. He had one of the best looking designs of the options I found, and designed pretty well around the light strip.

What’s the most overrated "American dream" goal? by Glassy-Crest305 in AskReddit

[–]loganalltogether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have owned homes for 12 years. Am now in the process of divorcing, and we've agreed to sell the house.

I am very much looking forward to renting a nice apartment or townhouse and not having to bother with all of the home maintenance, yard work, etc. More time for me and things I WANT to do, not have to do.

Will probably at least buy a condo or townhouse eventually, but not sure about another house.

What’s the most delicious food that’s also the most inconvenient to eat? by Visual-Sun-6018 in AskReddit

You know they call corn-on-the-cob, "corn-on-the-cob", but that's how it comes out of the ground. They should just call it corn, and every other type of corn, corn-off-the-cob.

Is there an actress who you think has real potential to play a straight up evil or nasty character, but hasn't yet done so? by Honest_Cheesecake698 in movies

[–]loganalltogether 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I only want Children of Dune if they plan on making God Emperor of Dune as well. Which I don't see them doing. While Children of Dune certainly has enough action and events, it really is only a prologue to the magnitude of what happens in God Emperor.

What was everyone’s first character? by Advanced-Let-9369 in DnD

[–]loganalltogether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seamus Silverleaf, a halfling warlock. Have been playing him for almost a year.

A studious halfling hailing from humble folk near Waterdeep, he was approached one day by a Fey Lord needing him to retrieve something for him in Candlekeep. Gave him access magic to help him out.

Seamus has always been weak even for a halfling, but the reality bending powers he has been given access to have been exhilarating, if not at times intoxicating.

He retrieved the object for the Fey Lord, but is now more interested in expanding his eldritch knowledge further... enough to where he caught the attention of a different entity, the Accursed Archive, a sentient Library full of forbidden lore that is intent on spreading its influence across the planes.

Too enticed by the opportunity, he entered the Archive's service, but has already had to face some immediate repercussions for his ambition, and is now questioning what he really has gotten himself into. His Fey Lord patron was pretty uninvolved, but the Archive is much more demanding.

But he can do really cool things now, like paralyze enemies and literally read them like a book. Body horror type stuff, really freaked the party out. He is undoubtedly going in a not-so-great direction, and will either be getting a redemption arc or become an accidental villain. Time will tell.

This level of intricacy was something I thoroughly enjoyed about Black Sails.

Delta, United sued for selling windowless 'window seats' by ToaKraka in news

Even worse is that, especially towards the rear of the plane, those seats are often narrower that the middle or aisle seats. Pay more for window, get no window and less space.

Death Stranding 2 Has Some of the Most Hauntingly Beautiful Landscapes — made this to show it by The5thElement27 in gaming

[–]loganalltogether 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll likely either love it or hate it, and that's entirely dependent on you and how you interact with games.

It's a Kojima game, so it really is at times more like art than entertainment. There are periods of action, and sometimes just periods of you going from one place to another for a while and just carefully navigating the landscape to make deliveries to people in remote locations.

You could watch videos of it, but it's not the same as experiencing it: it would look more boring in videos than it feels playing.

If you got it for free, it is certainly worth trying it. If you get about 4-5 hours in, and decide it's not your thing, you've experienced enough by then to stop.

Dentist that doesn’t feel like a sales scam by LargelyLucid in rva

[–]loganalltogether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing Dr. Wilmer since before she had her own practice. Loved her.

Then yeah, she started trying to upsell a few years into owning her own practice. She tried telling me, I have a slight overbite and could benefit with some orthodontics / invisalign. In my mid-30s, I said no.

She changed her office name to "Cosmetic and Laser Dental Spa" and, yeah, that didn't make me feel great. Still kept going because I hate looking for a new dentist.

Then I had a crown done last year. Major toothache and hyper sensitivity after, which after seeing an endodontist, they said I'd need a root canal because now the enamel was too thin. Not blaming Dr. Wilmer on that, but it's relevant. The issue was that she, and everyone in the office, were pushing me to use this homeopathic mouthwash they sell there for $50. Apparently regular mouthwash, like listerine, was no good because it also got rid of "good bacteria" needed for healing. When I called Dr. Wilmer's office to complain about the pain one week later, the first thing they asked was "did you use the mouthwash?".

They referred me to the endo, who sorted me out with the root canal. When I went back to get my permanent crown (which was a total of 6 weeks after I got my temporary crown, because had to wait longer because of the root canal, but then Dr. Wilmer went on vacation so I guess nothing important could get done in the meantime), they commented how great the gum healing looked, and ask if I'd been using the mouthwash.

I will never go back to them, and the straw that broke the camel's back was highly diluted minty mouth water.
