He’s pulling a reverse George Constanza.

Sounds more like he’s in sales than finance.

Weapons wasn’t as big a jump between horror and comedy as it seemed. Completely surprised us. Great movie.

TLDW?

It took me much longer than it should’ve to realize you didn’t have a speech impediment.

Nice! I’ll have to pick this up when it’s out. I’ve had a lot of fun with my brick hammer.

it depends on the type of person, I feel like. My company has offered those adjustable desks since before COVID. If you walk through our office you’ll always see at least a few raised up. Most people prefer sitting down, but you’ll see enough people getting use out of these that they definitely have some benefit.

That’s a function of how they’re trained though. They match human behavior patterns because that’s what they were designed and built to do, not because they actually think/process like we do or are of near equal intellect.

And yet has been discussed publicly, at large, in court, and even during a presidential address or two, albeit indirectly.

It was good

Eh, Niven did it first.

That’s a complete load!

That’s just his default stance on things, really.

I’ve started getting these. Its a little odd. The latest one I received told me it shipped “2 camera and 1 kitchen item”. The camera items were a baby monitor and a mount for the baby camera and the kitchen item were coffee filters. So I guess it’s accurate but kind of a useless description.

You should try and stick with it. It is scary, but also a really great game.

Plus there’s a musical number.

I’m not kidding.

That push happened in the US too around the same time, but it only focused on Chinese food. News outlets made a big fuss about it, yet rarely if ever pointed out how widely MSG was used in the US outside of Chinese food.

The claim was that MSG caused headaches based on research from the 70s and 80s, which has had mixed results in studies throughout the years and now has no strong link IIRC.

Either way its usage is personal preference, like any other spice or cooking method, and I wholeheartedly agree with your first point about subbing msg.

Get back to scrolling, you slackers!

Lee Child’s series has its good books, but there are a LOT of books that follow the same pattern and have the same formula, and it just gets boring. I like it when Reacher is crafty or does something truly unique. I think Lee child could’ve had a much better (albeit much shorter) series if he stuck to those unique moments and stories, and stayed away from the formulaic ones that you know exactly how they’ll play out.
