hraesvilgr Link ParentI mean, my first attempt was rated Probably Not A Fish. My second was just an ΙΧΘΥΣ. I zoomed in to about 200% to get finer detail; otherwise it rated everything as wild swingsI mean, my first attempt was rated Probably Not A Fish. My second was just an ΙΧΘΥΣ.

As much as I really loved other aspects of it (cinematography, lighting, characterization, costuming, dialogue...) the score is fucking divine. I had no idea going in that it was Goransson, but I also didn't know that Goransson could adapt blues this well; but by the end, I was unsurprised to see it was him in the credits. He's a fuckin wizard

He's not the best author in terms of linguistic beauty or compelling characterization, but of about equal quality to Martin; but he's productive as hell, superhumanly efficient, and well-proven at handling sprawling plotlines, casts, and settings. Bet he could figure your shit out. Give him co-author credit and tie this shit up before you croak.

Part of the issue (a large part) is that it's the 3rd in a single year because they keep shitting the bed after official Google security updates, and fighting with Google support to get them to admit something was their fault is an enraging multi-day process. The 2 was great, the 4 was great, but the 5 and 7 are absolute crap. Never again for Google hardware or support.
That being said, I've had bad experiences with Samsung too. I guess I'm going to Motorola?

Comment on Marvel’s new ‘X-Men’ movie lands ‘Hunger Games’ screenwriter Michael Lesslie in ~movies
hraesvilgr LinkOoof. "Lands"? Songbirds & Snakes was atrocious.Ooof. "Lands"? Songbirds & Snakes was atrocious.
If you can find it for a reasonable price near you (<$4/bottle; probably not worth getting shipped), there's very likely something in Mexico Lindo's lineup that you'll enjoy; start with the orange and green, but keep in mind that they should be eaten within a couple months max after opening. They don't go bad, but they're just not nearly as good.
Huy Fong sriracha went to shit after they burned their pepper supplier a few years ago; the true inheritor of that mantle is now Underwood (black label with a gold dragon), which tastes very similar to pre-2017 Huy Fong, for better or for worse--if you didn't try Huy Fond until you recently, you might like Underwood, but it is a step above ketchup in terms of spiciness. It's in some Costco locations now.
If you like Louisiana-style fermented hot sauce, Crystal is definitely my favorite.
Yuacateco (for flavor) and Melinda's (for heat), mentioned by others here, aren't bad. Pretty much all of my other favorites are too local or unusually-found to be helpful suggestions.
