Mushrooms and tofu in black bean sauce; ginger greens. There are noodles under all of that, too.

"Predators" is weird. People are dropped on an alien planet and hunted there, instead of the Predators coming to earth. The hunted are a group of cliches: Tactical man, sniper girl, gang-banger, redneck gang banger, Yakuza good with sword, etc. If you turn off your higher functions, it is kind...

"Love Lies Bleeding" on Hulu is a modern-day film noir about a gym owner (Kristen Steward) falling for a drifter bodybuilder (Katie O'Brian) who gets entangled in her shady family's life. This is really good, up until the end. The passion and suspense are classic noir; Ed Harris plays an...

There are a fair number of abandoned apple orchards in rural Vermont. Using arsenic dust on apples was fairly common before the mid-20th century, so you shouldn't eat apples from old trees, because the soil underneath might be rich in arsenic, so the apples could be, too.

I'm not sure any of the original four founders are there any longer. Cory and Xeni both left a while ago, Rob was there a year ago, not sure if he still is. It certainly isn't as interesting as it was a decade ago. Definitely not worth paying for.

Unclear on the concept...

boing boing just added an ad-free subscription tier and have made their non-subscription tier utterly useless. I've read bb since before the turn of the millennium. I've just stopped, since I wasn't ready to join a brand new subscription service (I wanted to make sure they'd hammered the bugs...

Amtrak used to let you buy your ticket on the train. They may still. This tells us: 1) Amtrak isn't a public transport service and 2) Amtrak is so desperate for customers that they'll let anything slide.

Speaking of Prince...

Take me down to hai- ku city where the grass is green and the damnit!

This is a little off the beaten path. And it is a commitment. In 1980, the Royal Shakespeare Company mounted an 8-1/2 hour production of "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby." After running in the West End, it came to Broadway. Both runs were brief because of the intense performance...

TubiTV isn't terrible, I think they have a "live" stream of random shows, and uBlock still strips their interstitial ads out of the shows.

I think a lot of drivers don't understand that lights serve two purposes: to let you see and to let others see you. If they can see the road and oncoming traffic, why turn on their lights? My drive home the night before last was in a warm-spell after a snow so it was: twilight, foggy...

If they'd hit you, they'd've arrested you for assault, since you damaged their car.

The kind of place to eat at the night before the all-hands meeting. When I was working as a stage carpenter, there was one guy who would have a bean-rich Mexican meal the night before we loaded the set into the trucks. He'd volunteer to be in the truck, so it would reek of bean farts the whole day.

1: Aside from the usual cat/dog, if you could be any pet what kind would you be? Bird. 2: What's your favourite kind of apocalypse? I grew up in the 70s and 80s, so I'm a sucker for a nuclear war-flavored apocalypse 3: And what are you doing in the first 24 hours of said apocalypse? I grew...

You just mentioned Mars. That means Elon has gotten a bit Elonger.
