Holy shit! I’ve an old friend that had a mildly successful Christian band back in the early ‘00s and they opened for DC Talk a few times. He once told me that he smoked pot in a jacuzzi with Michael Tait (the guy referenced in the article) and that he repeatedly put his hand on his thigh under the water, but tried to laugh it off as “messing around.”
google fonts are legit great. Just don’t do what I did and figure out how to install ALL the Google fonts… did that on my Ubuntu machines and it seems to play a significant role in why GIMP takes a decade to load and regularly freeze (also being on a 13 year old Mac might play a role). Was much more discerning on my laptop running Mint lol
iirc, in Star Trek the Klingons descend from a crab-like ancestor. I mean, yes, I understand what you’re getting at but I still think it’s kinda cool that Klingons are sort of humanoid crabs
Watching this right now. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone play so effortlessly before. Prince was taken from us way too soon.
Prince’s solo on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ at the tribute to George Harrison is both incredible and a masterclass in, well, class. He blows Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne completely out of the water, but doesn’t try to overshadow them while clearly having a good time playing with them, and then quietly leaves so as to not make it about himself.
Start watching at 3:20 for Dhani Harrison’s face. He’s so happy with what’s about to go down:
I actually did not know that! A friend of mine used to own an independent roaster and kinda ruined me on coffee lol. Learned a lot from him, but somehow missed this tidbit. Makes sense.
Two things: First, coffee became an “American” beverage after the Boston Tea Party (though, iirc beer remained a significant breakfast beverage for awhile). Coffee houses were also places for patriotic discussions and where the revolutionary zeal was fostered. So you have some MAGA types wanting to tap into that.
Second, dark roasting coffee is an old trick to cover the flavor of inconsistent and shitty coffee. Some people really like to taste the “roast.” But what’s happening is that a burnt flavor is masking the actual taste of a coffee bean. You want a light roast to actually taste the coffee.
Also, if I’m not mistaken, it was the French who first came up with dark roasting coffee (likely for preservation reasons). I’m sure MAGA would love to know that their “dark, hard-hitting” coffee has its flavor profile originating in France.
No order:
•Chrono Trigger •FFVII •Panzer Dragoon Saga •GTA3 •EverQuest •(Street Fighter Alpha 2 is up there too)
Haha, I switched to Firefox years ago and recently to Linux and I’m quite fine with the gender I was born with lol. I’m a(n Episcopal) priest. It’s not like I wear a black dress or lacey white garments to work…
oh no.
I’m in Hawai’i and I basically assume all Hellcats and Corvettes are military. So when they cut me off in traffic or whatever, instead of getting angry I just say a little “easy there recruit” or “settle down Private” to myself. It makes me chuckle and keeps me from sin.
I am regularly shocked at his actual age when I see him
Had an Android tablet that sat in a lost and found for like three years with no claims. Finally decided to mess around with it. After charging it up there was a password screen. Tried 1234. No dice. 2580 and it opened right up.
Agreed. Big Scott Bakula fan. Plus I hold that the show remains under-appreciated for the Star Trek fandom and— oh. THAT Archer. Nevermind. Please continue.
I’ve long held that the untranslated words are either the result of those words having entered into common universal vernacular that they don’t need to be translated OR they don’t have an equivalent English translation that’s not cumbersome. Like “targ” doesn’t need to be translated because a targ is a targ. Either everyone knows what that is or it would be super awkward for everyone to hear “dog-like possum creature thing with huge outward teeth,” every time a Klingon says the word “targ”
I have young kids. They often say things like “if I were president, I would—“ and then say some borderline totalitarian nonsense like “make it illegal to put pickles on burgers” or some other thing that is self-focused and completely misunderstands the nature of the presidency.
Which is all to say that Trump holds the same view of the presidency that a five-year-old does. And he occupies the office. Awesome.
All these news reports saying that Luigi killed a guy or used a 3D printed gun. As far as I know, Luigi did none of those things and that that is for the courts to decide. Further, I’ve seen plenty of posts online of people saying that he was at the bar with them when the whole thing happened.
Since this is a WWE presidency, does this play like a classic heel-turn storyline?
Eh. Should’ve got menthols.
Correct. As a father of four and who moved across an ocean when one of them was six months in utero it has more to do with concerns that changes in air pressure might induce early labor.
Edit: I realize this post reads like I abandoned my family when one of my kids was six months away from being born. I didn’t. But it’s a funny enough mistake that I’m not changing it.
I think I read it somewhere in a trivia thing on Memory Alpha, but I honestly donʻt remember. But the Progenitors seeded common ancestors with their DNA. Which means that species like the Xindi wouldʻve had Progenitor DNA even though they have a multi-facted evolution with reptillian, primate, and arboreal humanoids…
