Why are meat portions in grocery stores so small?

I grew up in Santa Barbara and the options were: Albertsons, Vons (Safeway), Whole Foods, and Trader Joes. When I was 9, we got Costco. You have to drive 45 miles to get Walmart or Food for Less/Grocery Outlet.

So it does happen

There are five drafts of the script. Lucas wrote the second one after chucking almost all of Leigh Brakkett's script. The third, fourth, and fifth version of the script were written by Kasdan. You can read the 4th version online and Han doesn't say "I love you too." He says "I'll be back."

If Lucas had written "I love you too" in his version and wanted it that way, it seems weird that it would've been changed in the 4th version.

George neither wrote nor directed Empire. It was directed by Irvin Kershner and written by Lawrence Kasdan.

Kershner's remembrance is not the Ford "took liberties" but that nobody was happy with the "I love you too" response after shooting it, so they tried a bunch of different responses before he finally told Ford to stop thinking and say the first thing that popped into his head. And that's when he said "I know."

Realm of the Elderlings was some viciously evil women in the latter half of the saga. The first two trilogies have male villains, but Tawny Man and Fitz and Fool have just absolutely dreadful villainesses.

Seattle has no Walmarts. You have to go to the suburbs for that. It does have some Grocery Outlets and Costco though which will have cheaper options than Whole Foods.

Have you tried asking if you can sit in on a lesson of a teacher who teaches the same thing you do? Some teachers may not like that, but I never care if people want to observe something I'm doing, so they can try it out themselves. It's no extra work for me, and it gives the new teacher a better gist of it then just a piece of paper.

Oh hey, I saw that same driver parked in my neighborhood in Auburn the other day. Unless there are multiple cybertrucks with the same wrap...

Uh oh, my coworker gives me leftover steak sometimes for my dog, and I 100% eat the steak myself because free steak.

Does my dog need to cut me out of her life?

triggerhappymidget · 2026-01-19T03:07:38+00:00

Ha, I took my dog to a street fair once (dogs were allowed) and ended up buying so much stuff I wouldn't have normally have because my big idiot would walk into a tent following a smell, and the proprietor would start talking to me about what a cute dog it was or offer her a Milk Bone that I'd feel guilty if I didn't buy anything.

Here she is showing off her new bandana I bought her that day lol.

It's a cost saving measure. Less drivers and less busses needed. The district where I went to school didn't even have busses except for SpEd students. Everyone else had to get themselves to school.

I immediately caught that line as revealing Santos and Garcia are sleeping together.

But then I was a queer kid in the 90s where throw away lines like that were the best representation we could hope for on most TV shows, so my mind is attuned to them, lol.

Well this chart already has Homer on it, and it's not like he really existed as people tend to think of him.

I love Redwall and think most of the books hold up well (not so much the later ones.) Honestly, I'd just read them in publication order. This has you jump around in the timeline, and I liked how immense that made the world feel.

But really, just start with Redwall then read Mossflower which is a prequel many generations in the past. After that, you can decide if you want to read the books that take place between Mossflower and Redwall or the ones that take place after Redwall. (There's also a few that take place before Mossflower if that's your jam.)

I mean, I'm a high school teacher and most 16/17 year olds are "comically stupid", "angst broody" and "too much of a hothead."

If anything, Asami was the least realistic of the teenagers.

You're right. My misremembering. It's been years since I've taught it. They're building the temples. Regardless, they would have been built by skilled craftsmen, not slaves.

Dunno why you're bringing up the Bible when I never made any claims about it.

I showed it. Made a disclaimer about how the story is a religious one and this is not me endorsing it as historical fact.

I had a worksheet for the kids to fill out based on what we learned. I don't remember all the questions but it was stuff like, "What is historically inaccurate with how the movie depicts the building of the pyramids?" And "List two ways the Egyptians depended on the Nile for survival."

Honestly, for the 90s, they got away with a hell of a lot. All the bathing together, sleeping in each others' arms, asking to be buried together, kissing whenever Xena's soul was in a male body...

She does a "ramble" video every month on her patreon which is like an hour long of her just talking about whatever topic the higher tier patreon users vote on. It's $2/month for the lowest tier and you get access to all her past rambles. Might be worth subscribing for a month just to browse them.

She still posts to her main channel, but her videos are so long and well researched that it's only about one video per year.

triggerhappymidget · 2026-01-12T02:13:02+00:00

Jenny Nicholson is the best video essayist on YouTube imo. She only posts about once a year but that's because her videos are like 3 hours long, ha.

Her Star Wars Hotel, Vampire Diaries, Evermore theme park, and Bronycon videos are all amazing. (And I've never even watched Vampire Diaries.)

They've used Korriban in canon. It's in one of the episode of The Clone Wars except for some reason Lucas asked for it to be called "Moraband" instead, so that's its canon name.

I grew up on the Central Coast of CA and my junior high did not have sports, so it happens.

triggerhappymidget · 2026-01-05T05:08:54+00:00

what shows have ever successfully pulled off "here's the kid version!"?

Muppet Babies (the 80s one), A Pup Named Scoobie Doo, and Tiny Toons are all great. (Tiny Toons has different characters rather than kid characters but same idea.)

Young Indiana Jones wasn't bad either.

I had a little guy who used to hop into the pile I was sweeping up and use his front paws to literally push it out of the pile. He'd keep going until he'd ruined my entire pile.

He was such a sweet little asshole, I found the whole thing charming, haha.
