Similarly, I’m reading through the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks and I think it would be a great candidate for an adaptation. It’s a really good story and the magic is all based on the colour of light which I think would make the special effects pretty easy to create and should also look nice.

Watch “Strange Brew” and let me know if you change your mind on that.

Awesome Canadian movie.

No, I think you got that right. Just keep going and you’ll get that popcorn kernel eventually.

At least you didn’t power wash the walls like I did the other day. Forgot where the off button was.

Aww, poor effort. She still has her old lady hair on the left.

I brush and floss once a day and have had nothing but perfect checkups at the dentist.

Yeah, that was totally a “ok fine, we won’t help you pay the tax on this, you do it yourself or you’ll have a bad day when the IRS comes knocking.”

“But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters.”

“You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done, you piece of shit.”

“Bustin’ makes me feel good!”

I dive hard into certain artists when find a song I like, but I find that my interest will naturally shift to other artists. For example, in 2022 Spotify put me in the top 0.01% for Seamus Kennedy because I found a funny song about a “greusome” moment. But I only occasionally listen to him this year. Right now I’m on a Dua Lipa binge because she put out a new good song with a hot music video. Never really gave her a chance before because I thought it was a weird band name. If I get bored and haven’t found anything new I’ll dive into something older too. Got on a Vengaboys and Limp Bizkit kick lately too.

It’s really different though. The politicians are expected to be working at the national capitol during normal sessions. While they are ‘campaigning’ in that they’ll be trying to score sound bites and such for the media, they’re not allowed to spend money on regular campaigning until the election season starts.

How many rallies for president haver been held already with the election still 166 days away? How much money spent? It’s utterly exhausting.

I dunno, with the American system you have like 2 year long campaigning cycle for president. There’s almost no break and it’s exhausting. In Canada when an election is called the campaign is only about 6 weeks give or take a week.

Also, if the government becomes dysfunctional, it can be dissolved and a new government elected. The US system doesn’t allow for that flexibility.

The article did link the research article so you could have read it instead of jumped to conclusions. In this case fertility rates are being defined as rate of infertile couples, or couples who cannot conceive. Specifically, the worry is that the global sperm count is declining, and that the decline is accelerating.

My first thought was ‘zombie work’ was a phrase for a job where you don’t have to think at all while doing it. Say a factory job like picking up rolls of tape and putting them in the tape dispenser.

Who knew that GeoGuessr was actually training people for a career in emergency services?

Never heard of garden path sentences before. Very neat! I loved the examples on the Wikipedia page.

Eg. The old man the boat.

It’s so short and I love it as the first example.

In the book series The Stormlight Archive, there is a character whose intelligence changes every day. He takes a test every morning to determine his capabilities for that day. As the ruler of a kingdom, he’s not allowed to do certain things if he’s too stupid, or sometimes even too smart that day.

I think a little test like that would be nice. If you have dementia but can pass a test every once in a while, ok maybe life is still worth living. I figure some days will be better than others. But if you can’t figure out some basic things for like a month straight, maybe it’s time to check out.

Preferably behind bars.

Out of the 16 casualties, 2 were civilian. Seems like it was targeting military personnel.

It’s best before the amount of time it takes to do 349 Oh Long Johnsons.

Ja Rule can be the host of the show! I think you’ve got a hit TV idea here.
