    64 minute quarter. Just hope it doesn't go to OT.

    Back in 2005 or so, I got a used computer. It had been owned by Cullen Davis' wife. Looks like he had also used it, since they both had profiles on it. Tons of IE bookmarks for online painkillers and the like. A weird saved chat about how someone, "Knew everything." I pulled the old hard drive and swapped it out for a new one. Last I saw that old hard drive, it was sitting unused in a computer at my then-MIL's house. Who knows, it may still be there. She tends to hoard stuff.

    It's not surprising. We see this in real life, like with that punk that shot up the El Paso Walmart. The people who fall short of the archetype are often the most hateful.

    Looks like we were probably wrong.

    I'd think they make it more likely.

    It's possible. I've definitely had the same thought.

    There are many brace alternatives aside from Invisalign: Byte and FastBraces come to mind. Many cost less than $6k. Most won't work well if your kid's teeth are seriously messed up.

    It's better than nothing. If you can get into a Young Adult, non-canon Star Trek style series, it's fine.

    I have a $72 toilet seat. Not a bidet. It's a special fat man toilet seat that allegedly won't break.

    I, for one, actually enjoyed Dune Messiah's more evocative approach to worldbuilding. It should be seen as a coda to Dune and not a standalone novel, unlike Children of Dune. It also could be dropped from the series without much loss.

    The tit-lasering was underwhelming.

    I’m a middle aged fat man with extremely limited survival skills, some fluency in modern Spanish and the barest of smatterings of German and Latin. So 1820 in Baltimore or another large US city.

    If you want to watch the 1984 version, watch it before reading the books. It has really great imagery, but it takes liberties with the source material. Then read the first three books. The fourth book is alright and the fifth and sixth book kinda suck, so feel free to skip those. Then watch the SyFy version. Or watch the SyFy series before reading the books. It doesn't matter much.

    Momoa seems like a great Idaho for book 1. Don't see a problem with him in book 2, since standing around machinelike for most of the book seems within his range. Since this will be the third version of Dune, we are probably at the point where most people have either read the book(s) or seen one of the prior versions. Having two threads would almost be like having two threads when Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ sequel comes out.

    No. I think I showed her Hope Solo once so that she'd understand something, maybe about sarlacs, maybe about gaping vaginas, I'm not sure.

    Apep replied to Deej's topic in Video Games

    Just look for a local video game repair shop. For some controllers, it is really easy to change the joysticks out. (Even I did that a few times with my Wii U.) Some require soldering. And knowing where to get the right replacement parts can be a crap shoot, especially since they pretty much all come from China.

    I got my wife to watch the trailer, thinking Jason Momoa's presence might get her to watch it. It didn't. When she saw the sandworm, she asked why a giant butthole is chasing them?

    Unless you're into hallucinogens, it's probably not worth it.

    Preface: I don't sell them. I've only helped one client, and only once, with this issue. To a certain extent, it depends on what business she is in. It doesn't have to be super specific, but retail is quite different from manufacturing v. brewing v. O&G v. professional services v. software. Ideally, her accountant would have deep experience in her industry and would have input, but you can't always count on that. If that's the case, it doesn't mean she isn't getting good tax/accounting services, just that they don't have experience with many businesses in that field.

    Speaking of Uhura, I re-watched Star Trek 6 the other day and watching her translate Klingon was painful. Literally winced. Really made me appreciate the Saldana version. (It wasn't Nichols. The whole cast was agonizing in that scene.)

    I don't understand this first stuff. Trills move between male and female hosts. We've had androgynous and three-sex species on TNG. This seems like much ado about nothing.

    He's at DR Horton, I guess.

    I guess my idea of PG is classic Ghostbusters. Not exactly a whole lot of actual adult humor, like we might see in Archer or Rick & Morty. I don't see people dropping acid before ST:LD. That's the big difference. If they went for a more Superjail style, I could get behind it.

    So I'm continuing to watch Lower Decks. It's getting slightly more serious, but less funny. Like they burned through all the best bits already. It's also seems to be turning into a PG ST YA fanfic.
