  1. Apparently a trailer came out for ep 4 yesterday.
  2. Lots of plot development.
  3. Because we just finished Falcon and Winter Soldier?
  4. My magic theory is looking better.
  5. Outside of those two eps, some of us didn't like most of season 4 (and even the end of season 3).
  6. Yep. Cad Bane is better overall. Boba seemed vastly overrated until the Mandalorian (setting aside expanded universe stuff).
  7. I'd agree, if only they hadn't already used that clip to death in the trailers. The show is no longer novel, but it seems like they're trying to take it somewhere different. Gives me a Rebecca-replacing-Diane in Cheers vibe.
  8. It’s entertaining and has possibilities, but it’s still not what it was once.
  9. I’m starting to hope that this series ends with Picard in a medical facility in a suite adjoining Tudor’s. It’s all a dream. Seven has been visiting Tuvok and sometimes Picard. Everyone else is someone who works there. At the end, Picard dies, but his body is transported to the ST equivalent of Avalon by Q and Wesley Crusher. (King Arthur’s death scene, recall the end of Excalibur.) It would take courage to address terminal, degenerative mental conditions in ST so bleakly.
  10. bump I have a Hario Skerton Pro. It works fine, but I'd like to be able to stop grinding by hand. I bought and returned two Baratza Encores. On the first one, the plastic impellers broke off during manual cleaning after it clogged on the third use. The second one clogged after the first use. I don't believe I overfilled it and I was grinding a Tanzanian peaberry. I'm not sure that's oily enough to cause major problems after a single use. I prefer a finer grind to go with my Aeropress. Any suggestions on a reliable and easy-to-clean burr grinder?
  11. My condolences to all his friends and family, most especially his young children.
  12. The sisters were living droids, but with half the personality. Still wanna see Wrecker hook up with one of ‘em.
  13. I think the older sister gets involved romantically with Wrecker.
  14. It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010). Nice little comedy about a high strung, high achieving NYC magnet student that checks himself into a mental hospital and finds a mentor and finds love.
  15. I think I've run into this issue, but it's hard to tell. Did I accidentally delete an email? Did I use the wrong search terms? Because I can find decade-old emails, but there are tons that seem to be missing from search.
  16. Same. While I can be very critical of some shows, what’s the point with something like Bad Batch? It’s like the droid eps of Clone Wars; they’re not there for adults.
  17. Will it be worse than Captain Marvel or Thor 1 and 2 ? Possibly. Will it be as good Avengers 1 or GotG 1? Almost certainly not, but both of those had great casts, one of which had been built over many movies. But will most of us watch it because of what it sets up later? That's how they get you. Why swing for the fences when a bunt will work?
  18. It looks promising. Not saying it will be great, but it looks like a good way to kill a couple or three hours.
  19. A freak weather event that kills 21 runners? That's some Day After Tomorrow type shit.
  20. Maybe he was so embarrassed he changed ISPs?
  21. Policygenius seems to be working best for me right now. The best quote came in much lower than what the Knights of Columbus offered me last year, so I'm currently in underwriting with the company Policygenius recommended. (It was also lower than the same company via Quotacy.) Guess I'll see how that goes and if it holds up.
  22. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but to get an LTC in Texas you have to attest to several things, such as not having been diagnosed with certain mental conditions. (I assume in the case of a wrongful diagnosis, there was some kind of due process to prove that it was wrong.) Constitutional carry does away with that limit unless you’ve been adjudicated as mentally incompetent or committed and stuff like that.
  23. Had a long talk with my uncle yesterday. Abuelita is going downhill. She’s been living with him for at least a couple of years, but during the week she’ll stay at her house with a caretaker. He is at wit’s end, due her getting quarantined for a few days due to a fever, having to get a COVID test, and waiting for the results. He’s somewhat old-fashioned and very stoic. He was overwrought with emotion and damn near almost crying. After I asked about how close she was to needing to be in a home and reiterating that the rest of the family supports him 100% in whatever decision he makes at whatever point, he started calming down and we were able to talk about other stuff. (She’s at the still knows who everyone is, but can’t remember or learn things, thinks the world runs like it is 1960 and has trouble caring for herself stage.)
