Oh **** it embeds????

Here's Consumer Reports Buyer's Guide 2024 for dishwashers:

Attempting to write my annual review. I basically take last year's review and update it, but even then it is beyond tedious. Every time I maximize the browser tab it's in, I immediately open up another tab to do something else.

This looks like fun:

Travel baseball had a time limit, innings limit, or run rule. Of course, when you have to play 4 games in 2 days (if not more) they need to turn the fields over quickly to do that.

I watched The Cruel Sea yesterday, a 1953 British WWII naval film. Very well done, but very much of its age. A contemporary review in the NY Times complained about it being too long at 2:06 minutes.

FFS, The Fall Guy was streaming 2-3 weeks after US theatrical. My wife and I saw it the second weekend, and I think it was available the next week. What's the point of movie theaters? I loved going to the theater, but if studios are going to keep doing this stuff (ie shortening the rent/own window),...

Andy Serkis' Lord of the Rings/Hobbit audiobooks would be good.

We always ate at Clawson's in Beaufort, but it's been a few years.

Was Candy Man there last night? I was not a Pirates fan in 1979 - still living in MA - but I remember watching that World Series. Man, Pittsburgh in the 70s was something else.

Big fan of Emerald Isle, Pine Knoll Shores, etc. Haven't been there in years, sadly, because we live near a beach. Supposedly. Which pizza place RonnieFranchise ? Back in the '90s we used to go to Michaelangelo's, but that doesn't have great reviews these days. Also looks like there's a Publix on EI...

Some video game/comic book guy I follow on Threads (who loathes Musk/Tesla and the GOP) was praising Libertarians last night, and I almost reported his account as hacked. Now I know why.

Happy Birthday! Hope it's a good one!

Sounds glorious.

We just had a storm system roll through town that dropped 6.5" of rain in about 3 hours. Crazy.

That'll make one hell of a movie on Disney+

ICQ is shutting down June 26. Man, those were the good ol' days.

I generally prefer to pay in first person, so that doesn't bother me, but I am curious as to why the game puts so much effort into character customization and even has a ton of different clothes your character can wear when just about the only time you can really see your character's outfit all tha...

Shibboleth is also an authentication protocol/identity management consortium for electronic resources for academic libraries. @columbia

The #Barves are screwing me over again. I sadly live in the #Barves TV region, which is broadcast through Bally Sports South. I have YTTV, which doesn't carry Bally. I have MLB.tv (which is an excellent product), but I'm blacked out on that. Bally has a streaming option with a 7 day trial. Great! Ex...

Welp, my eldest son's last day of K-12 was yesterday. Very uneventful year, as he only took 2 classes per semester and was home before noon all year.

It seems like I just dropped him off for his first day of 5K...and now he's done. Crazy.

Speaking of terrible parking, I entered a crowded parking lot tonight (Memorial Day Weekend in Myrtle Beach n'at) and saw a minivan perfectly centered in two spaces. I parked next to it in an adjoining space. When I got out of my car, I noticed it was a mobility van with a handicap placard on the wi...

Rob King subbing in for Greg Brown. That's interesting.

I think this is a no-brainer, bipartisan issue: The Department of Justice is calling for concert and ticketing giant Live Nation to be broken up, a remarkable claim in an antitrust lawsuit the department filed in New York Thursday morning, a day after a source familiar with the matter confirmed the ...

That'll be fun. Predictable, probably stupid, but fun.
