Began rewatching Mike Flannigan’s Midnight Mass miniseries after being reminded of his work seeing the film The Life of Chuck. Both worth the time I think. Did not at first know the latter was based on some Stephen King work, but I can see it now.
My dog. Especially when I haven’t seen him all day, but then he catches sight of me (he doesn’t hear so well now). And he kind of goes crazy as we have this greeting and roughhousing thing that he loves.
Is that a strip of LED’s on the edge of their desk? What is the purpose of lighting one’s belly? No judgement. Just curious.
No. That is Gordon Froman, Sausage king of Chicago.
I have a 14 year old laptop running Linux Mint that I use daily. Sure, it’s had the HD and the battery replaced, but it’s still fine for most tasks. An SSD really improved performance.
Interesting. Has some characteristics shared with Asimina triloba.
Indianapolis monologue.
Our water heater went out and I replaced it. After a series of complications, it’s working properly!
Believe if it was only now that the revelation that cigarettes cause cancer was in progress, there would be a large, confident contingent of folks swearing they’re actually great for you led by the likes of RFK Jr.
This is an interesting premise. Hope they give it the treatment it deserves. That one’s microbiome could influence behavior.
This is a pretty subjective question, but I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s perspectives on it. I love dogs and have had a bunch over my life so far. I’d answer a certain kind of dog. A dog that has good engagement with you. These are rare but when you have one it’s special. Some dogs will often look right at you and have a certain focus and awareness that translates into a more interactive relationship than some other dogs. And yeah, there are ways to promote this through training, but some dogs are just more organically predisposed to being your very good buddy. Those have honestly been the very best pets for me.
Pressure cooker. Lets you cook a lot of cheaper, bulk food faster.
A quality double-sided safety razor. Saves a ton on cartridges. About as easy to use once you get used to it.
Yeah. I was compelled to go cold-turkey off processed foods a couple decades ago for dire matters of health. I know it’s not possible for everyone, but for me it was utterly necessary and vastly improved the quality of my life.
Everybody’s now talking about satiety because it’s the mechanism of these popular GLP-1 drugs. I’ve been trying to tell folks about it for 25 years. It was literally the key for me to losing ~120 lbs and keeping it off. I resolved diabetes, hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease -and vastly improved other issues that were making me miserable.
The bottom line was an awareness that what I eat now has a direct and powerful effect on how soon and how much I’ll be compelled to eat later. I began to weight my choices towards the low-caloric density, the low glycemic and high-fiber. This of course also means mostly dumping processed foods.
I realize there is privilege in being able to do this and even devote the time to untangling health puzzles, I was fortunate to have the situation and support to do it.
I guess my point is that given resources it’s at least possible to game your own satiety without being dependent on expensive drugs. No argument at all that the quality of what folks now regard as staple food is lousy and in fact calculated to cause overconsumption, illness.
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. For a book club. Not my usual cup of tea. Not bad though.
I never caught the first one, but the title got my attention. So it sounds like Godzilla has RSVP’ed to some social event with a “plus one” but Godzilla’s companion has flaked out at the last minute? Mortifying!
Leave one out for Mothman.
Seconded. Underrated film imo.
