  1. ...in length, let alone 2hrs 15min. The perfect length for a comedy (and most movies) is 90 mins. Anything more than that is poor editing.
  2. At the place where I swim, they have Peloton bikes, which I have been meaning to try. So I did. First, I am generally not a big fan of spin classes, which tend to sound good until you find out a few things: The instructors are generally not cyclists They have extremely poor taste in music They won't shut the hell up, ever, and feel compelled to spout nonsense throughout They do the dumbest things, like repeated 2 second "jumps" out of the saddle, then back down, then out again, ad nauseum. Also stupid stretches that real cyclists see immediately for what they are, which are giant injury risks. I was hoping that Peloton found a way around these issues, but upon trying it, it turns out they mostly doubled-down on them. I tried a few different classes, and the instructors did strike me as folks not likely to own a bicycle, or to have a clue about stupid stuff to not do on a bike, like lift weights or 'stretch' (but you can look for classes without the weights at least). They still have poor taste in music, but you can find a class or so based on era or category, so the sucking is more finite. The instructors still will not stfu, ever, or at least didn't in the three different classes I jumped in on. Anyway, all the same limitations and 'one note' approach to cycling, which is the normal spin class that you see out in the world, including the aspects I don't enjoy. Add to that the downsides of not being able to discreetly perv on the hot students in your class. I would definitely prefer an actual ride simulation/non-spin platform personally. Anyway, I am definitely being harsh on Peloton, and I imagine non gym-goers and non-cyclists would glom onto it more than people like me, and it would also be good for other folks that just want to go along with things without thinking much about it, so there is that. Question for the Peloton folks - Can you stream Netflix to the monitor? I can see that being better than just a video of a spin class.
  3. My company has a year end award thing. Mostly fluff and plaques and all that comes with it. Two years ago, I won a departmental award as "Rookie of the Year". This year, I was nominated by 4 different department heads to be awarded the Circle of Excellence. There are differing designations but the top one is literally called the 1%. Of 18k+ employees US-side I am one of the 98 selected for the award. I am now a top-tiered elitist. How much snobbery am I now allowed to give my lessers?
  4. To this I would also add a term from the rocket industry: Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly also known as RUD It blew up.
  5. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/jan/04/largest-prime-number-discovered-with-more-than-23m-digits
  6. ...of a tennis racket? A spatula? Maybe a really neat fleece blanket? Anything else? What sort of things do folks get all proud about owning?
  7. Watching the Shrink Next Door (so-so), and the main guy mentioned he might have died alone and the cat would eat his face (or something like that). My wife and I discussed and decided that a DOG would never do that to its owner, but a CAT probably would. What do you think? If a pet owner died - unknown to the outside world - would a cat or a dog be more inclined to feast upon the dead owner?
  8. It is the cold and dark season (thanks Kirby! ), a time when normal people aren't riding but really wish they were. I have these USB lights that I like a lot, so what do I do with them? Let them run dry and wait until next summer to charge them? Charge them once a month for the hell of it? I don't know these things, and don't want to do a proper search online when I can get so many whorific and/or wonderful answers here regarding maintenance of rechargeable lights. What should I do?
  9. ...or, at least her and her hubby. The rest of the t-shirt design falls on those other folks, but MS and HoMS will be good to go in these shirts:
  10. ...is more painful and worse in general than a broken finger, a strained finger, or a sprained finger. Folks who break, strain, or sprain things have no idea what a jammed finger feels like and should thank their lucky stars!
  11. ...to all of @Randomguy surely asinine questions? What was the final deal worked out?
  12. ...why some folks adopt an all black wardrobe. Black (and, if a little wild, shades of black) really is pretty much the perfect color choice for clothing and offers the broadest (and best) variety of fashionable options. From shoes, sock, pants, underwear, (bras for the ladies), shirts, belts, and even hats, black is pretty much the best or tied-for-best option. I'm starting to understand the genius of those all-black clothing types - even the goths!
  13. ...I might be mistaken. At the Sheep, Wool, & Dog Herding festival, I spotted a 65+ (likely 70+) woman walking around happily drinking a Mountain Dew. I can't say I ever noticed "old" folks drinking The Dew! However, after a brief amount of time thinking about it, I realized I was now an "old folk" and I still drink Mountain Dew!
  14. ...makes me wonder if there is anything @Randomguy isn't doing wrong!
  15. Talking to my wife over the years, we're both firmly in the cremation column, but I'm in the "then spread my ashes in the ocean, across a mountain, from a hot air balloon, etc.." category, while she's in a "store me on the shelf and have us spread together when we're both gone." I said, "I don't think that will go over well with any of my future girlfriends." How about you? Got plans?
  16. Assuming you can only have one pair of either cowboy boots or Uggs, which is the better choice? Obviously, Uggs are generally uggly, but they definitely seem way more popular in the non-yucky parts of the world. On the other hand, for the few folks who actually SHOULD wear a cowboy boot, they are pretty darn good at their job. So, where do you think things really line up? Is simply letting popularity and people's wallets decide enough to push Uggs up and beyond the more limited in scope, but durable in nature cowboy boot?
  17. Which one lasts longer? Can the worldly city boy handle the mean streets of Richardson, TX? or Will the country boy with the heart of gold win over the jaded (yet dangerous) city dwellers of Manhattan? I think @jsharr - with his ability to glamp for days on end - would EASILY outlast @Randomguy who would quickly wilt like the snowflake he is without culture & refinement surrounding him.
  18. My dog likes to play a game where I toss treats to her and she runs at a breakneck speed to get them. The first couple she chases down, pounces on, and the eats normally. However, as the fun amps up, she becomes progressively more fast at the consumption portion of the game. She is often back in motion looking for the next treat before she has finished swallowing the prior treat. Of course, this results in a choking fit that is familiar, I am sure, to members of the @Randomguy family every Thanksgiving. She has to stop her running, dislodge the treat, and start over. Luckily, as the game goes on, she also loses a bit of her pep, so the peak choking is mid-game, and tapers as she stops running around like a maniac. How about your pups? Are they nutters too?
  19. ...if a truly "life ending" meteor strike is imminent? Say we get a week's notice? Would that result in a week of violence and insanity followed by immediate immolation? Or, do you think it would be nice to have a few days to do whatever you wanted before the immolation? How about a year's notice? Or a decade in advance? Total destruction of the Earth guaranteed, so no special tricks other than maybe a short term bonus period on the ISS? What could be the upside of knowing in advance, especially more than a few hours or days?
  20. What do you need from me today? I figure I can either focus my immense brainpower on ten good threads, or channel my inner @Randomguy and churn out a hodge-podge of nonsense. In either case, this joint will be hopping!
  21. ...and be part of solution? What headwear would work for him? The one on the right seems a little too fussy for him, but the one on the left definitely screams @Kzoo! Baldpieces, a series of portraits of men adorned with striking headwear, focuses on masculine beauty and challenges an enduring taboo.
