I think we had up to do up to 12 times tables by 3rd or 4th grade. I remember starting in 1st at school but really I learned them from Schoolhouse Rock. In the states Schoolhouse Rock was on Saturday Mornings between regular cartoons and they had such great songs.
You check the new Daredevil. There’s whole storyline about NYC cop who are way too into the Punisher.
My dream IP? Something based on Brubaker and Rucka’s Gotham Central. A gritty police thriller set on the streets of Batman’s home town. No super powers no special gadgets just ordinary cops dealing with the crazies. It was an amazing comic book series and I’d love to see it as a TV production. Live action or animated.
Are you talking about when the executive function is completely offline? Because if that’s hitting hard and I’m going “I’m hungry but I can’t make anything” my go to is a quesadilla.
Seriously if I can stand and heat a frying pan, it becomes easygoing to warm up some tortillas in the fry pan and throw some cheese between them. Bingo bango bongo you’ve got a Mexican cheese sandwich.
And then as I’m eating the first one I can be making a second and maybe throw in some ham or some salami, or better yet some leftover taco meat. All of a sudden I’m not so hungry and I’m happier having eaten something and maybe I can be motivated to eat some veggies or fruit.
Not all women are in to a guy just because he can turn in an invisible tiger.
Yeah and I had some problems with the concept at first. Everyone was selling it as the hard science fiction show and yet it focused the proto molecule and that’s not hard science fiction. Plus I got annoyed with them spending so much time on the float but using mag-boots but not looking like they’re still in zero G. I know you can’t shoot the show on the vomit comet but really just spend more time under thrust, I’ll be happier.
I agree about how good The Expanse books are, but I’m on the other side of coin about the tv series. I had a hard time getting into the series the first time I tried to watch it. I don’t think I quite what they were doing at first but now having read the first four books I started rewatching the first season and it totally clicked this time I’m tearing through the TV series this time.
Arr it be available if you look in the right places
Doors and corners, man. Doors and corners.
He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. He reaches out. 192 times a second he reaches out.
Yeah Atul …
Sometimes you don’t get to say goodbye and that sucks. One day they’re just gone. But with Atul I kept it together because the reason he just disappeared was that he didn’t need us. He could go to the door on his own and yeah he should have said goodbye at least but … well it sucks but I like to remember the happy frog at the party.
For me it was Stanley and Alice
God it was heartbreaking watching her mind slowly dissolve and get lost. That’s where it hit me how important Stella’s job was. How important having someone with her at the end, helping and not even saying anything just being there is. I couldn’t do it but I’m grateful for the people who can.
Fuck as a parent that got me. Fuck you god! I know that life isn’t fair but that really wasn’t fair. And watching his mom fall apart from his eyes … Her ‘Fakenegs’ … her fear in watching his fear … I’ve never been tested like that and I hope I could do better but man I understand her failing.
Stovetop gives a great explanation of the mechanics so I’ll just add about the vibes. Spiritfarer is sweet and kind at its heart. The main interface of the game is giving hugs and cooking the favourite foods of your passengers. You explore both physically in your boat and in the lives of your friends, and hopefully you come to understand a little bit about life and death. And patience too, sometimes you’re not really stuck you’re just not ready yet.
God … Spiritfarer. What an amazing experience. I didn’t cry but quite a few times I had to put down the controller and just stare out the window. It’s not sad but it is so sad. It’s so wistful and god just loved that game.
Honestly, if you’re not in to the ‘cinematic’ writing style that the writers use that doesn’t change.
I personally like the imagery. I can see the Rosi and most of the people in it, in my head. They remind me of JK Rowling in that way., but your mileage way vary.
The second book is very much a redo of the first but better. Less tropey and the women are much better written. Chrisjen is such a great character.
The plots get changed up in three and four which is good so you might like them more but I can understand it’s no for everyone.
“Not all women are in to a man just for his money. “
Yeah but I find most authors 4th or so books start need better editorship. I think it’s more of an industry / ego problem. Once an author get to a certain level of notoriety they get editors who don’t feel comfortable tell them to tighten up their work. A lot of authors figure it out around the 5th to 7th book though so sometime I just slog through I guess.
Just make sure to invite Jeffery Goldberg
I’ve finally gotten around to The Expanse series and I’m about a third of the way into Cibola Burn, the 3rd book.
I really enjoyed the first two and I’m liking this one but it’s starting a bit slower then the other and I find the tension ratcheting up different not worse but different.
Ta! Worked for me too
I think the first step is to get a good spotter and then exhale on the pull.
