You’re a short motherfucker and nobody likes you!

flute noises BITCH!

Everybody says, “Look how fucking short that guys is.”

And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships.

When you were born everybody thought that you were just a head

But then the doctor said, "WAIT!

This stupid, motherfucking, tiny, short-ass baby Got a tiny, little, itty-bitty body

And I hate it!"

The first season of Andor is some of the best TV I have ever watched. Its incredibly well done.

The second season is still good, just not great. Apparently there were originally supposed to be 5 seasons, and it kind of shows that they compacted it all into two. The highs of season 2 are on par with season 1, but its just not as consistently excellent.

The ending isn’t a grand finale, but it can’t be. The grand finale is Rogue One. I didn’t have a problem with it because I always had RO in mind as the last, extra long episode.

1000% still worth a watch. Easily the best Star Wars content to have come out in the Disney era by a mile.

If all music streaming services were owned by HBO then yeah, I would argue that.

My partner and I stumbled across first edition Ticknor & Fields printings (1867) of Henry Longfellow’s translations of Inferno and Purgatorio at a used bookstore a couple years back. Got them for a song since they were missing the Paradiso to complete the set.

The owner said that they had been sitting in his storage for 15 years as part of an estate donation he got and he finally had the chance to go through it. When he found them he tore apart the rest of the boxes looking for the Paradiso but it just wasn’t there.

Now its our white whale. Every used bookstore we go in we scour the classics/oldest/rare book section looking to complete the set.

Who art a douchebag

In the book it is explained that since (in universe) her vision is based on movement, she roars to scare prey into fleeing so that she can see them.

Its a stillsuit, why would you get OUT to pee?!

This guy can’t lizardpost.

In the original Jurassic Park novel by Michael Crichton, one of the animals they’ve cloned are these giant dragonflies. Its only one line in the book (Tim, one if the kids, sees one fly by and recalls reading about them) but it caught my attention as just straight impossible. I remember thinking, “Unless you’re somehow controlling the oxygen level of the air around this entire island, there’s no way that bug can’t breathe.”

If you like Mysterium, I highly recommend the successor game Obscurio. Its pretty much the same gimmick of art interpretation, but works way better for groups.

Instead of the “ghost” having to keep track of and pick art for each person, the “investigators” are making a group decision so you only need to pick one set of clue art. This means the ghost’s turn is way faster (doesn’t explode with higher player count) and there’s actually group interaction instead of each person in their own world, staring at art no one else cares about.

The way it’s set up also means the ghost can start working on choosing the art for the next round while the group is debating, not having to wait to see if they are correct or not, so it’s way more streamlined. All together just a snappier, more engaging version of Mysterium.

I love driving stick. Or I did up until the day my left knee fell apart. Now it’s just not an option for me.

What, you mean you missed the canonical Fortnite event of Palpatine’s voice ringing out across the galaxy? And then felt like you had somehow missed key plot events despite having watched all the movies because you didn’t participate in some fad videogame marketed to tweens? So it showing up in the opening crawl felt forced, unimaginative, and honestly just stupid?

Yeah, that sounds like my experience too.

Relevant Weekly Roll

Bullshit. You were singing Amish Paradise and we all know it.

Yup, I had someone print off Excel sheets, manually highlight and write in corrections, and them bring the pages over to my desk to have me fix them in the file.

I also once had the city reject a report I submitted because the width of the columns in the Excel file were different from the previous year and they wanted to print it all off on one page.

I used to work for municipal government in a major American city. The database for the entire city downloaded query results to your desktop formatted as Excel 95. Still does.

At one point I had to install special R packages because someone retired and I was tasked with taking over the worksheet they had been maintaining forever and the usual R packages to read data from Excel can’t parse Excel 5.0.

There was also someone in the office who still used a typewriter on the regular.
