Hurricane's a-comin'

Was reading the other day about some ships coming across the Atlantic in the mid 1600's, up in New England. And how now and then they end up in a massive storm the likes of which they'd never seen in Europe. They had no idea what a hurricane was, and they had no way to predict their arrival. Interes...

Stand-up paper towel holders

I only use them when at a relative's, or in a bbq restaurant.

Not in this house.

Most people have cutesey wooden ones that are a complete joke, and even the heavier ones in a restaurant never work without a stabilization hand.

Stand-up paper towel holders

Those things are the worse. You need to use two hands to get the piece off without risking pulling it over.

Just put Kirkland napkins on the table like a civilized person, and mount a normal paper towel holder in your food prep area that you can use with one hand.

Immigration

Half a million immigrants were flown in unde Biden, and now told that the Biden administration has changed their mind about and now either have to leave, or find other routes to be legal. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/venezuelans-legal-status-chnv-program/ This one could have a few pithy commentary o...

Superfan Focus Groups

I grow weary of hearing "Real fans wouldn't hate this." The "real fans" are literally the only group with an emotional attachment to the IP, and are literally the only group that would feel wounded and upset when the IP is fucked up. All of these writers and producers are lashing...

Joker: Folie A Deux (2024)

Was not a fan of the first. Tired of assholes retelling good stories either to give their own interpretation which sucks, or to cash in. Or both. This version sucks. Also not a fan of the new Batman. If I want a joyless movie I'll watch..... I don't know. Something joyless. SO not watching this one ...

But those things are made in America for the most part?
No idea, just repeating what I was told. And they were out of stock.

And it isn't like peeps need a valid excuse to make a run on toilet paper and bottled water.

Maybe
Went to Costco today. Signs out front, they were out of TP, and Kirkland water.

I didn't know why.

I just learned there was a run on stuff because of the port strikes.

Star Trek into Darkness - Formerly: Star Trek 2

In the original ST2:The Wrath of Khan.... During the famous, sad scene when Spock is dying in the whatever-chamber.... In the angles when we're looking at Kirk, over his shoulder and in the background is a dude who is clearly hurt, and back there having convulsions on his feet, and he's being ignored.

Israel could glass Tehran, if they wanted. They could, but I think the right move is to selectively retaliate. They want to keep civilian deaths to a minimum to win hearts and minds. Israel has been under constant, daily attack for at least 40 years, all their neighbors have their destruction writt...

Not automatically WW3. Iran also launched missiles at a US base in Iraq during Trump, and nothing came of it. Israel could glass Tehran, if they wanted. THEN it would get interesting. Or Tehran, Beirut, and Damascus all at once, the missiles synchronized to airburst nukes all in the same second. Jus...
