Because a paper calendar isn't a viable option for everyone, which is how I started..

It's not being inflexible to understand that a particular option isn't going to work for you, or others. I'm thrilled a paper calendar works for -you- but for people like me it's not a viable option and calling us inflexible isn't helping.

I think you misunderstood me. It's great you have a place where you can leave stuff and it doesn't get messed with. I don't have that in my life so if I want something to be the way I left it, I need to keep it with me like on my phone. I'm glad that you can use a calendar for your purposes and you have a safe place for it but not everyone has that so quit shaming people for having different coping strategies than your own.

Shit, now I'm thinking about it and you'd need something big like a flank steak or a brisket. I don't think a pork-loin would work since it's not broad enough. You'd still need to probably butterfly it, and then fringe the edge so you had strands to work into the braid. Best I can think of would be more like braided filled pastry than anything else. Not a terrible sway to do a stuffed roast or roulade I guess.

That's so cool you have your own kitchen!

I have ADHD and cannot keep track of one more paper anything. I record it as something boring akin to a bank transaction now that I fear the government snooping but an app with bright blaring notifications kept me sane and only pregnant when I wanted to be for a decade. I'm mad that I don't feel safe using it any longer.

FatWS felt so unfocused to me. For example they make a HUGE deal out of Bucky's therapist and him being required to go to therapy regularly in eps 1 and 2 and getting arrested in Louisiana for being a no-show for his therapy appointment.

Then the rest of the show is jet-setting around the world without any consequences or need to get back to the US for any reason. Bucky sends the therapist a gift bag and note at the end but otherwise we never see her or her office again. Are there consequences for him leaving the county? Did her need her permission? Did he violate his court order? Who knows because they never mentioned it again.

I thought the end was strong and on-brand but the wedding ep and the one where she goes to the retreat center were both kinda mediocre and disconnected. Fine when you have 15-20 episodes in the season you can get away with those "beach episodes" that only push the plot a little but in this format they felt like wasted time.

Oh and Moon Knight suffered the same fate as She Hulk. They had slightly less than one movie's worth of plot and put it in 6 episodes TV and hoped it worked. Maybe in old network TV it would have been fine but in the streaming age it was poorly paced.

Makes sense. WandaVision made sense as a mini-series.

Falcon and Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and Ms. Marvel all felt like movies chopped into TV length segments.

She Hulk could have been good TV but if felt like they weren't in it with their whole heart. They stopped writing the plot part way through and then just kinda faked it until the end of the show.

Loki is a great TV show but it's the ONLY one really paced for the TV audience and also the only one with enough plot that it could easily go 12-20 episodes a season if modern streaming budgets would allow for such excess.

Between Bad Dragon and RuPaul's Drag Race on the top row is the State of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation aka PennDot.

I feel like Biden just keep repeating the talking points that worked for Clinton in the 1990s and being confused why progressives today don't take him seriously. He's better than the other guy by a long shot but his policies are decades old.

It is! I taught research at the grad and doctoral level and Zotero was the best by a long shot. SciWheel is a close second.

I hope the Devil comes for EndNote soon, it is awful and has been awful for a long time.

Always free, not shitty. Been great for and simple for 5 years now.

Stuart has 22 Emmys from the Daily Show and Colbert Report combined. John Oliver has 17; 3 from the Daily Show and 14 from Last Week Tonight.

I agree with others who said this is Apple's problem, not Stewart's. He can get a platform/desk anywhere he wants one.

John Oliver doesn't seem to have a problem with HBO/Max

Colbert seems to struggle more with the FCC regulations on what he can't say and show more than what CBS wants. It's less often now but at the start of his Late Show he really appeared to be mean to CBS on-air specifically to prove that they didn't have a presence in his writers room.

Reddit's search was broken when I joined in 2009 and it never improved. The only thing that made Reddit searchable was Google.

Reddit somehow missed that the value of the was in the comments, not the post. Post titles are easily searchable but searching the comments using Reddit's own search is still difficult. It mystifies me how badly the people running Reddit misunderstand the most basic things about it.

According to Genius.com the lyric is the "the storm keeps on twistin"

Probably referring to how hurricanes, and other big storms rotate and spin with the winds that drive them.

That was Dungeon of the Endless. Endless Dungeon released today and is totally new.

Rao's is basically more sauce per jar than other brands because it's not watered down to slime. I can sauce easily twice as many servings of pasta from a jar of Rao's than Classico or Prego.

They did just get bought out so this is probably only true for another year or so.

Penn already has endowments totalling over $20 Billion for the school and the hospital system and is one of the largest land holders in the City of Philadelphia. I doubt this will hurt them.
