No time like the present.

Next few days off seems like a primo opportunity to break out of all sorts of routines and patterns. I would be looking to do something crazy new that requires a lot of active attention.

I do things that require my attention. Passive consumption of media like movies, books, music don't cut it for me. I go biking or motorcycling where distraction would mean an accident. Or I hit up a sports competition, especially with teammates who I feel some obligation towards to help me stay invested. Whatever it is, I try to find ways to force my attention out of spiraling thoughts.

Some film and visual effects breakdowns videos.

And when whoever is talking in the video presents some other clip and they 2x speed it. I have to slow to normal or slightly faster because 4x is genuinely too fast for me 98% of the time.

Hint of misandry too, implying it's not manly to follow traffic safety laws. Dude probably has personal hygiene too and Mr. Jeremy Kauffman would point out washing one's butt is gay.

Twilight. If nothing more than to count the red flags and use it as a teaching tool for young teens on what not to do in romantic relationships.

Mom and Dad Save the World [1992] even as an 8 year old I understood this was a bad movie by so many standards but enjoyed it anyway. The injection. The muscly bird people. The fish people. Probably the first thing I ever saw Jon Lovitz in and I will forever see Spengo in any other character he ever plays.

Compact, cig lighter charged air compressor. Once you use that tire patch kit, be able to air up their tire.

Uh huh, sure. I believe them and have absolutely no reason to doubt either their honesty or their competency on this matter.

My peers aren't buying china, but a couple are using china cabinets or hutches to display the things they do collect. There's pretty much an open request that if anyone spots good quality used furniture, to put it in a group chat.

It was bland. I watched it less than a week ago and it's fading from memory fast. I would not recommend it to the older siblings who grew up on He-Man and She-Ra. Nothing terrible, just milquetoast.

I reject your definition for "loyal".

I'm loyal to my cousin. I love him and will try to do best by him. He's an alcoholic and I would throw his ass in jail myself if I could the next time I hear he's drunk driving again.

*Will get

Idk, I have some things I wouldn't get rid of if I found their designer/maker was a horrible person. But I wouldn't necessarily buy them again.

I can't think of anything I wouldn't try to avoid buying new. There's too many alternates available.

I can't call it a failure. Fun was had. Goals diverged. We split quite amicably and remain in occasional contact. 10/10, would break up with them again.

Iron Lung (2026) by Markiplier (filmdb.landmarkcinemas.com)
 

The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only those aboard space stations or starships were left to witness the universe dim, giving the end a name: The Quiet Rapture. Now, humanity decays in the rusting halls of crumbling stations, scavenging barren moons by the ghost light of long-vanished stars. But one moon stands apart. In the darkness of the void, a scanner detects an impossibility: an ocean of blood. In a desperate bid for survival, the last remnants of humanity craft a crude submarine to explore the bleeding depths. They weld one soul inside to pilot it. But as the hatch is sealed, the terrifying reality sets in. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. This is not an expedition. This is an execution.

Written, produced, acted in by game streamer Markiplier

Indie film inspired by an indie cosmic horror game

<$3 million budget, self-funded release in over 2,000 theaters

 

Have you had one? If so, did the medical professional conducting the challenge stay with you the whole time?

I had one years ago. The person administering the challenge put me in a glass chamber, explained the amount of methacholine would increase until it induced an asthma attack and that how much methacholine it took would determine whether I have asthma or not, then left the room for 10-15 minutes. Looking back now, it seems wild that one would leave when trying to give a person an asthma account. What if I had asthma and was stuck without help for 10+ minutes?

Curious what others have experienced, whether they were left to deal with a possible asthma attack alone or if they were monitored?

Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

 

Also New York and Missouri

Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan will soon have to pay out of pocket for anesthesia if a surgery or procedure goes longer than expected, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

The health insurance provider said they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if a surgery or procedure goes beyond a specific time limit. This will apply to patients in Connecticut, New York and Missouri.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists said Anthem can pre-determine the time allowed for anesthesia, and if an anesthesiologist submits a bill where the actual time of care is longer than Anthem's limit, the company will deny paying for it.

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
