Check out F/X. It’s litterally about practical special effects. It’s been a long time but I remember liking it a lot. I wasn’t subscribed to Fangoria but my buddy was.

I was talking to someone about dead alive earlier this evening at my 8yo bday party. Such a classic.

“I kick ass for the LORD!”

Just pick Burmese, covers both. I’d probably choose that and Japanese.

USB wall-wart

We got the kids tablets for long car rides too. We let them use them as a reward. PBS Kids games and Epic (books) are good compromises.

the desert to the east of San Francisco.

Lol what the fuck? I assume you are taking about California Forever but desert is a weird word to describe the Sacramento River delta. It is one of the largest estuaries in north america.

Is it refering to people in their first year of university? If so in the US they are referred to as freshmen.

Its almost like rich idiots are running everything. Like they got their positions not from competency but from nepotism. That can’t be true though.

HOLY SHIT IS THAT A HEADPHONE JACK?!

Seriously this ticks boxes Ive given up on. I never thought Id see a phone with all three: waterproof, removable battery, headphone jack. It even has wireless charging which isnt really one of my boxes but is a little extra if you use it.

Its kinda weird that Trump is the alternative here. I did it too, but the fact that we are rolling over him breaking the 22nd amendment and then pretending like our votes matter at that point is kinda messed up when you step back.

On the other hand, not-trump is a pretty damn good quality.

Sad but true. I fucking hate that we are talking about this fucking asshole, but like that bullshit recall election in '21, I will hold my nose and vote for harm reduction. So fucking depressing. You think its gonna be Trump again? If he wants to stay in power, breaking the 22nd amendment, why have elections at all?

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

its really not, we just have cowards who are afraid of the word regulation running the government.

Free college education if you can speak the language. As I understand it, no citizenship required.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, “no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits”, is that the point?

Some buddies and I actually got an old firebird with a blown head gasket for lemons. Got it running, and then realized how much more we would have to pay for all the safety gear… We were still willing but had some disagreements for who was gonna pay what when and so the main backer pulled out and the dream went up in smoke…

THIS MAN HAS A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

I honestly have never been into an apple store. Why would we want this?

The vagueness of this statement is pretty telling of the competence of these ‘founders’. Rich assholes who have a ‘vision’ and make people who actually work figure out what the fuck is going on.
