I don't think it helped that, at least at that point in his career, Anthony Montgomery was simply a bad-to-meh actor. I think they maybe saw a wide-eyed optimism that they liked in the audition or something, but his line-readings were often school-play amateurish, to say nothing of communicating any lifelike emotion or pulling off the "I'm young but I've seen more shit than most of you" vibe a boomer was supposed to have. The episode on his old ship should have been really powerful, but it just sort of fizzled.

Padma Lakshmi was better. There. I said it.

I don't know why, but Glen Powell always makes me think of a wish.com Ed Norton who's being treated like a wish.com Brad Pitt.

So I guess yeah, he's a wish.com Tyler Durden.

It's almost like the "better" airlines already know how much you can shit on the customer base and survive. Pretty much everybody I know who has ever taken a Spirit flight has told me they never want to do it again.

Mastodon has a certain level of federated connectivity with Lemmy, but it's also a Twitter alternative, similar in that way to BlueSky. Lemmy (or mBin) is the Reddit alternative.

If it does work, though, it'll be pretty sweet.

There was existing precedent for a tiny version of Windows that is barely enough to run a single program. The original Windows version of Microsoft Excel came with a runtime version of Windows 2.1, so that customers who didn’t have Windows could still use Excel.

Fun fact, the “DOS” version of AOL did the same thing but with GEOS. Pretty impressive that it all fit on one 1.44MB floppy.

My jags need to embrace their inter Mendoza and throw a few Molotov cocktails. Mac is from Duval. He knows what’s what!

Endless Sky is a lot of fun. I think I'm through all the reasonably complete plotlines, but there's plenty of different ways to play and self-directed goals to go after.

Learned on Lemmy a couple of weeks ago that Neal Stephenson has a new book out, and I'm still a sucker for them. Polostan is (so far) historical fiction and very readable. The Stephenson-esque infodumps seem to mostly concern the game of Polo and interwar Communism, with healthy dashes of 1930s physics and ranching.

Hush!

And if they'd done the math wrong, they'd have landed among the stars.

It's a little pricy, but we absolutely love this Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster Over thing for anything that was properly cooked elsewhere, though I've used it for halfway decent roasted potato wedges straight from the knife. Basket Air Fryers hold so little as to be more frustrating than anything, and stacking deep defeats the purpose half the time. I have no idea if the grill setting works well, though.

Bake setting, 325, 2-3 minutes is all you need for most pizza reheatings.
