  • I cancelled whatever HBO is calling their streaming platform now and signed back up for Hulu.

    Finally watching the final season of What We Do in the Shadows

    Also, restarted King of the Hill for probably the third or fourth time.

  • I do a monthly newsletter at work. I collect the stuff for the newsletter in an Excel sheet. I normally end up with around 12 items or so. But that makes my Excel sheet stop on line 13 because of the header row. So I'll add 2 more things. Because if I just add 1 then it will be 13 entries. So my newsletter will have less than 11 or more than 14 entries. I don't know why, I don't care about the number 13 anywhere else in my life.

  • A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn't feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don't know how long

  • I was watching Best of the Worst from Red Letter Media, the episode where they watched Blood Debts. My wife walked in the room to give me a kiss before going to bed, right when she leans over, lips puckered, ready for a kiss, Mike's voice breaks through and we both here, "faced with a strong desire to watch a Filipino rape film." She just freezes, gets this look on her face, and starts cracking up, which then made me start laughing. It was one of those situations where each of our reactions kept making the other person laugh harder and harder.

  • I tried watching ALF not too long ago. It didn't really hold up. It was just okay. The humor felt flat and one note. I grew up watching it and even the nostalgia vibe didn't keep me interested. Golden Girls on the other hand will still have me cracking up every episode.

  • I loved HIMYM when it was airing. I feel like people gloss over just how bad the entire last season was. After watching that show from day one I quit halfway through the last season, with the intention of just binging it once it was done. Then I heard about the ending. It was such a guy punch that I will never rewatch it, not even the early seasons. I'm sure that is why it doesn't have the staying power of shows like the Office and Parks and Rec that you can watch over and over.

  • We're currently under contract to sell our house in Texas. 2 more weeks until we close. My wife has been up in CT looking for houses, but the market up there is insane. We've put in 6 offers on houses and lost 3 of them. Still waiting to hear on the others. But house or not we are out of Texas at the end of this month.

  • I honestly believe this one is a gorilla marketing gimmick. Like they purposely went back and removed references to it so any time someone brings up the Mandela Effect their name gets mentioned.

  • That's not uncommon. I know a bunch of people at Microsoft who use macOS, and they aren't just graphic designers. I've been on calls with people from the Azure team, PowerShell team, C# team, and even the server OS team that we're using macOS.

  • Can confirm, I'm right on the edge of Gen-X and Millennials. I was the only one of my friends who had a computer pretty much all the way through elementary school. And the only reason we had computers in our house was because my dad was a computer engineer. By the time I was in highschool pretty much everyone had at least a family computer.

  • You generally don't want to have rats around. They are scavengers and can cause a lot of destruction. We have rats that come up from the greenbelt behind us. They will try to burrow and nest everywhere. And their nests are absolutely disgusting and can carry diseases because they poop everywhere. We had one chew through the insulation and get into our garage. Thankfully it didn't nest in there but it took me days to clean all the shit off everything.

    As far as your garden is concerned you can try planting some lavender. It is a natural deterrent for them.

    Some dog breeds are great at getting rid of them too. My small dog is quick and can corner them easily. And my German shepherd will grab them off the fence or out of the pool. I also let our small dog sniff around in the garage about once a week to check all the small cracks or places they can get in.

  • I was making salsa and the recipe called for a clove or garlic. I thought the entire bulb was a clove. After I chopped up and added like 5 or 6 of them my wife came in and saw what I was doing and put a stop to it. But seriously, that was the best damn salsa I've ever had.

  • It's a really great book that I recommend to even the most casual Superman fan and especially people who think Superman is just an overpowered boy scout. It explores how Superman has evolved over the decades through the influence of different writers and artists and how their personal experiences and cultural shifts helped to evolve the character. He also examines the character’s transformation across other media, including radio, television, and film. Like how the now cheesy sounding, "It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman" originated from the radio broadcasts that had to adapt a comic to a non-visual medium. Or why they didn't just write a Superman comic in the 40's where he goes and defeats Hitler, because they didn't want to take away from the GIs or give kids false hope that Superman could just swoop in and save the day in a real life situation. But they also didn't want kids to think Superman would ignore what was going on, so that's when they started introducing a lot of off-world stories.
