I Frankenstein (2014). Aaron Eckhart as the monster who gets pulled into a centuries long war between demons and gargoyles. It tries to capitalize on the success of the Underworld franchise and goes nuts with CGI effects. It’s objectively bad but it’s also FUN. If you shut off your brain and don’t overanalyze, its a blast.

Long?

The Dalai Lama goes up to a hot dog vendor and says make me one with everything.

Edit: The Dalai Lama pays for the hot dog with a $20 bill, but the vendor doesn’t give him any money back. The Lama asks for his change. The vendor says change must come from within.

How many impressionists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two. One to paint the giraffe blue and the other to fill the bath tub with ping pong balls.

I think it’s like cars for car guys vs cars for people who just want to get from place to place. I started with Elegoo and got really sick of all the fiddling it took to get a decent print. I got a Bambu and it just works. I know it’s a “walled garden” but in the end I can print whatever model I want and it comes out great most of the time.

I had deviated septum surgery. Took 2 years and $20k but breathing through both nostrils for the first time in my life was worth it.

At first I read that as “US not truly serious about democracy” and well …

My favorite one of these unconscious linguistic rules is expletive infixation. We say “fan-fucking-tastic” but “fanta-fucking-stic” sounds completely wrong.

It is a virtual certainty that at some point a meteor large enough to wipe out all multicellular life on the planet will strike the Earth. It is an absolute certainty that the Sun will eventually burn out leaving the planet uninhabitable. Something else might wipe out our species long before either of these things happen, but it’s not a bad idea to have another inhabited planet or two as a backups.

Along the same lines as Discworld and Hitchhikers Guide, Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. The Amazon tv adaptation is excellent as well.

“The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” is what I always recommend from Heinlein. I feel like this one in particular has stood up conceptually and thematically over time. AI, space colonialism, predatory capitalism, class revolution. It all feels very relevant.

Karrot is a used item app that has a feature where you take a picture of an item and it IDs the item and tells you what it’s worth. It’s pretty impressive. It could ID my houseplants better than some dedicated plant ID apps I’ve used. It’s not great with one of a kind items, but otherwise it’s surprisingly accurate.

His name is Hannibal Barka and he is a poodle/Aussie cattle dog mix. He’s an affectionate little cuddle bug and can jump like a kangaroo.

I would say that is comparing personal identity to a medical definition, two independent and separate concepts.

Personally, I look at people pointing this out like I look at people that feel the need to point out to others that a woman has breast implants. It’s her choice to do what she wants to her own body and pointing it out makes you look like a rude asshole.

You can’t go in and give 100% every day. You will burn out. Give 70% regularly. Only give 100% when shit really hits the fan. People will think you are a miracle worker.

Sounds like a great way to fake your death. The only problem is that everyone will think you died driving a Tesla.

All I am saying is that if the person you are with drops dead, you should be able to take care of yourself. That’s just sensible.

It’s less about trusting no one and more about recognizing that something could happen to the person you are with, like a medical emergency for example, and that you should be able to survive on your own. Say you are hiking with someone and they fall and break their leg. Do you both just lay there and die? You need to be able to get yourself back to safety and to get help.
