I hate getting chip grease on my fingers because some brands I weirdly even struggle to wash off with soap.
Also using a wooden clothespin as an ad hoc roach clip has been popular advice with everyone I introduce to it. I didn’t intend to give two pieces of advice on keeping your fingers cleaner or less smelly, but there ya go.

Comment on ‘Common Side Effects’ renewed for season 2 at Adult Swim in ~tv
chundissimo Link ParentNot renewing Scavenger’s Reign was so heartbreaking. Both these shows are just incredible in their own ways. Clearly very talented, creative people involved.Not renewing Scavenger’s Reign was so heartbreaking. Both these shows are just incredible in their own ways.

Comment on 'Avengers: Doomsday' cast released in ~movies

Everyone rags on there being too many super hero movies, but honestly as someone immune to that criticism who watches pretty much all of them… they’ve just been kind of bad for pretty obvious technical reasons? Scripts that would be unacceptable for a college film student to write, committee driven post-production that butchers already weak films, and just sloppy CGI. I also understand people’s gripe with the multiverse but I also don’t think that’s the issue. Quantumania wasn’t bad because of Kang, it was just bad for all the reasons I listed (and many more).
Anyways all that ranting to say I just want someone to grab Marvel by the collar and shake them until they figure it out. Doom and Secret Wars are so precious to me that I’m truly worried about them embarking on such a bold, star studded set of movies when they haven’t appear to have solved any of their glaring production problems.
I know it really has nothing to do with the film’s quality, but for some reason this gimmicky and stupid way of announcing the cast has cause my Marvel fears to be reawakened.

I make cardamom syrup for coffee sometimes by toasting the crushed pods briefly and then letting them steep in the hot syrup for ~20 minutes before straining.

chundissimo Link ParentI’ve found any funky white rum works well. Caipirinhas are the ultimate summer drink for me. I wish more places served it since it’s so simple, but in the US good white rum isn’t always easy to find.I’ve found any funky white rum works well. Caipirinhas are the ultimate summer drink for me.

My friend got the Impreza recently and loves it, but I’m just not a big fan of the profile of hatchbacks myself. I agree though it’s a good car and worth considering.

After owning a coupe for nearly a decade it was nice to upgrade to a SUV without some of the downsides of a big one.
My only word of caution is if you’re using the stock all weather tires to check your car’s handbook. Mine specifically instructs me to not put chains on it, or else I’ll void the warranty. I’ve only taken the car in light snow so far, but the all weathers have handled well.
My hope is to not buy another car for a long time, but I’ll definitely consider another Subaru when I do.

I’ve always used it since beginning my programming journey, but quickly I was made aware of how brutal its footguns can be and how arcane its syntax can be. Shellcheck gives me so much peace of mind that the scripts I write likely don’t have land mines in them.
I used to avoid using BASH for anything beyond small, personal scripts, but now I’ve used it in much broader contexts including in glueing together some of my production systems at my job. BASH has its limits (although @hungariantoast seems to be on a crusade to disprove that), but it really is an indispensable tool in a programmer’s tool belt and Shellcheck feels like a nearly mandatory auxiliary to me.

And on top of that I get online fees waived if I buy additional tickets outside of my credits. So it ends up being pretty worthwhile for me.

I get one credit per month that rolls over indefinitely, I can use as many credits I want at once (e.g. to bring my partner or a friend), and I get 20% off concessions. I live fairly close to a theater and I love going to movies, so it works out for me. But I totally get people who don’t value it as much as I do or for whom that sort of monthly pass doesn’t make sense.
Occasionally I’ll see a movie at a different chain and it’s baffling to me how expensive it is to see movies now, even accounting for inflation. The main thing that makes me raise an eyebrow is the fact that there is an independent theater a city over from me that still offers reasonable prices on tickets and concessions. I live in a high CoL area and tickets at that theater are $13, $7.50 matinee, and $6 all day Tuesdays. It makes me wonder how much corporate consolidation plays into this (as it seems to be the culprit for much of our capitalist decay).
Also, Mickey 17 was super fun. If the trailer appealed to you at all it’s worth a watch.

It starts out with a lot of convincing myself that yes in fact now is the best time to be exercising and that my excuses are not good ones. Then the start of my workout I’m always a little grumpy because I’d rather be doing anything else. Then the real interesting experience is feeling that melt away and be replaced by endorphins. It eventually shifts my brain into enjoying the workout and feeling good afterward. Despite that I always repeat that hate-love cycle with working out.
Also yes I really relate to that sock feeling; it feels so cathartic to take them off after wearing them for hours. My friends all thought I was weird when I expressed that to them so I’m glad I’m not alone.
Wow, that is a professional approach
