Pff, hold our beer. We have just under four years to show how monumentally ignorant, apathetic and subservient we can become. After that, who knows? My crystal ball just shows brand-sponsered schools and overflowing private prisons.

If nobody did anything meaningful over the past eight years about this, I don’t think there really is a limit. When the education system takes a nose-dive and what is available is neo-Christian/capitalist indoctrination, it’s only going to get worse. I’d sure like to think the opposing party had the grapes to stop this nonsense dead in it’s tracks, but again - eight years and I guess we are just cool with it all. I want to love my country, but JFC, it is sure hell-bent on ghost-riding it into a christo-fascist idiocracy.

Hot Fuzz

Shaun of the Dead

Those I can just watch over and over, so those are mine. There are better movies out there, but if I can watch them that frequently, then that’s my qualifier I guess.

Runners up: LOTR (honestly they are #1, 2 and 3, but that’s cheating), The Fith Element, Spirited Away, Back to the Future, Heat, Dune (not that one), Saving Private Ryan, Akira, Terminator 2, Princess Bride, Dancer in the Dark, Tombstone, The Sound of Music, The Matrix, Monty Python (Grail and Brian), Naked Gun, Harry Potter series. I guess some of the Star Wars movies, maybe the unadulterated originals and Rogue One.

Worst: Sausage Party (it’s so bad it makes any other movie good)

Toasted peanut butter and banana sandwiches…with a violent application of Sriracha.

That was exactly my turning point. It was so unnecessary. It really exposed what a immature, petty, shithead he is. After that instance, all of his try-hard poser traits were out in the open and his lies stated stacking up over his head. I knew kids like him growing up, the difference is that I felt bad for them and they grew up. He is emotionally stuck as an awkward chump who tries to believe that people are laughing with him.

I don’t get excited for any of his projects any more, even though they are both impressive to some degree or another and many jobs with honest and skilled people are attached to said projects.

If there is one thing he impresses me with, to this very day, is his ability to absolutely shit the bed

ICE thinks Taco Bell is authentic Mexican cuisine.

First they took the swappable battery, then the IR emmiter, then the magnetic card swipe, then the SD card, then the headphone jack, then added Bixby… They have zero value proposition anymore. Everything else I do is on apple hardware, and so will be my next phone.

Get referred to a gastrointerologist asap. There are a variety of things it could be, and few of those are anything you can get away with ignoring.

If it’s bright red, could be a ruptured blood vessel from straining to defecate to chrohns disease or ulcerative colitis. The later nearly killed me. Dark red to coffee ground consistency can be stomach ulcers. These can be a one off thing or chrilonic and lead to anemia, malnutrition, cancer etc…

Mind, I’m not a doctor, but I had dealt with serious symptoms of UC for over a decade and would be dead by now had I not gotten surgery. Got pretty familiar with digestive tract issues. Don’t take it lightly

That is a good album. Those cats jam, and jam well.

Can we do that here first?

That means they are probably starting to run out of ammo. We should send them more.

Yeah, I really like Polygondwanaland and Flying Microtonal Banana. The rest, save for one other album (don’t recall which one) I just can’t get into. They have cranked out so many albums exploring, but not mastering, so many genres that it’s not surprising to be underwater on the K/D ratio.

Manage your finances. Know where every penny goes. Budget as best as you can - plan for all of the things you know you spend money on through a year. It doesn’t mean you can’t spend money on things you like, but it does mean that you know when you can afford it. It gives you confidence and control no matter how much you are making.

The department is working tirelessly to apprehend the criminals.

My wife works in a higher-end memory care center as a caregiver, and I can confirm they don’t pay nearly enough.

They have them in the wild at Pinnacles National Park. Had maybe five or six flying about 60 feet over my head at one point during a hike. Amazing birds. Would recommend.

And yeah, probably the rarest animal I have seen as well. Though we had a Lawrence’s Goldfinch in our yard regularly in an area where they are extremely unlikely to be seen. Different kind of rare I guess.

The latter, just to make everyone else in my organization question themselves. Whether it is correct or not is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the seed of uncertainty that I plant every day.

It’s pretty tasty, to me at least. But I like mushrooms so YMMV. That said, it’s not overly earthy or eating a bag of shrooms. If you ever, as a kid, saw a tin that said Hersheys on it in the cupboard and grabbed a spoon; well, it’s like that, but a little better. The cocoa in it is what gives you the caffeine bump IIRC. Assuming the ingredients are legit, then there is good stuff in it, but I think this is really geared toward another group of people than anyone trying to curb coffee. If it was cheaper, I’d drink it every day.

To answer the question, sorta, you could grind a batch of lions mane and chaga and have at it. This has other stuff in it to for palatability, but like you said, you could make your own variety if you want. Again, assuming the ingredients are accurate, it would be good for you, as long as you can manage to choke it down.

Knock your knuckles against your car door to zap static electricity on something less sensitive.

For those who enjoy peanut butter and banana sandwiches, take it to the next level with Sriracha sauce.
