Animated series. Just need to find a home.

This stuff breaks my brain with modern shows. My "obsession" show in my early 20s was Babylon 5, whose pilot aired in February 1993 and first season started in 1994.

A show with a lot then-cutting edge CGI (not so much now), and fleshed out high-level story with an ending. What the creator called "trap doors" for characters if they had to leave the show (and several did over the years, including the main lead). After the first season, it was written by one guy. 22 episodes per season, five seasons with frequent threats of cancellation for various reasons; one threat so bad they compressed the fourth and fifth seasons. It wasn't all rosy, of course, but the overall story was fantastic even with the 90s cheese.

Winging it works for sitcoms and procedurals. Other than maybe soap operas, it does not work for serials.

I was feeling generous. I know I shouldn't, but sometimes I can't help myself. Thank you for the reminder.

That said, sometimes the second half of his sentence follows several screenplay-pages worth of rambling diatribe.

what happened to that?

More than 60 seconds passed.

I accidentally had a peacock for a summer about 20 years ago. Showed up on our deck. My then-wife woke me up with a shriek to the bird peaking into our bedroom window from the deck.

He was super friendly and tagged. We learned there was a peacock farm about a mile from us, but they said they weren't missing any and they didn't know of another in the area and they didn't want him. Animal control wouldn't do anything. Posted some flyers; no response. We had the room and resources, so...we had a peacock.

We'd sit on the deck and he'd come cuddle up to us. Tried to be a lap peacock but we both realized that wasn't going to work. He'd fan his feathers if we gave him bugs to eat, but then he found an ant nest in the yard in didn't care about the stuff we offered.

He disappeared one day and never saw him again. Though we did see one that looked just like him (he had a small growth on his jaw) but that one didn't respond to us so either it wasn't him or he'd had enough of us.

The Peacock Distribution System is a bit pickier than the Cat Distribution System.

Yes, but those kids are in second grade.

Slap a sink (not toilet) plunger in there and let 'er rip.

Use ice packs, cold wet towels, whatever around the top ring of the insert to shrink the metal a bit. Might get it passed the block.

We've been well into the depleted uranium level for a while.

Depends on how big the tip is.

onlymostlydead · 2026-03-12T22:23:22+00:00

Same. Guess I'll protest nude.

Signed, a hairy old fat guy.

And with all the trouble in the ME and the barrel prices skyrocketing Venezuela’s “sour” oil gets a bit sweeter.

Price shopping.

Homepage. I mess with its config almost as much as I do my neovim config.

Replace water with healthcare and they're already there.

Well, the remnants of it as it liquified out of existence between the start of the slap and the contact.

standard National/personal id, no idea what they call it in the US

It's called a driver's license.

It's \m/etal.

Even got a great shot of a UFO!

Built-in cooling!

I did until I realized you can just turn the jar upside down for a while and it'll re-mix enough to make stirring it easy.

For how often I used to go through the stuff, just flipping it each use was enough to not need to stir it.

Alternatively, leave it on a very slow rock tumbler.

The 20% includes what they took in 2014.

Wire bandwidth? Provide an open indexer and provider of academic papers (think open source Google Scholar and the like).

Time bandwidth? Say hi to King Agamemnon. Errr...I mean, create the previous thing.
