I’m not big into matching band music, but I went to a MarchFourth concert on a whim and had a fun time. Lots of juggling, hula hooping, dancing. They even had a guy doing yo-yo tricks to a saxophone solo.

It’s the author’s actual book, linked on her site. https://www.exocomics.com/book/

Same. It’s not a bad film. It is a fairly logical progression from the first movie. I was actually surprised it wasn’t more fantastical. There were several points where they could have escalated to a city wide musical caper, but they kept it grounded.

The point is Joker escaping into familiar songs to cope with reality.

Boyce-Jones was willing to pay the $8,814 application fee and $1.18 per scooter per day charge that came with the SATV permit, but there was a problem. The permit requires electric scooters to have GPS monitoring and data sharing capabilities as well as self-locking mechanisms.

That seems absurd. What other data needs to be shared? It’s like the rules were written by a scooter startup.

Looks like Re-Animator https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/?ref_=ext_shr

I played D&D for 10 years before I seriously tried DMing. I’m now a year and a half into a 5e game with 4 other players and it’s been great. It helped that YouTube kept sending me Matt Colville videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YZvLUXcR8

The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin has a similar vibe to Our Flag Means Death, maybe a little goofier. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19516036/?ref_=ext_shr

I’ve been happy with the update, but I also rarely use the flamethrower or incendiary breaker. I normally play on 7s and my friends that use the incendiary said they are mostly fine in groups, but soloing objectives is harder.

The flamethrower change made chargers harder… But I prefer rocket pods for them anyway.

Inevitable, as in already in development. https://mcdm-rpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Plot is similar to The Beekeeper, if Jason Statham hasn’t been around to help.

Might go to a bar crawl. Finishing Ticket to Ride: Legacy. Watching the new Bad Boys movie (I’ve never actually watched the previous ones). Then I might see Vampire Weekend if I can still get a decent ticket.

I’ve seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn’t seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.

I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn’t matter. Kingdom takes place “many generations” after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom’s story works fine as a standalone film. It’s not amazing, but there’s nothing particularly awful about it. Now I’ll probably see the next couple, but they’re not high on my list.

From the paper.

Ultrasounds accelerate extraction processes due to acoustic cavitation [8], [9]. When acoustic bubbles, also called inertial bubbles, collapse near solid materials, such as coffee grounds, they generate micro-jets with the force to fracture the cell walls of plant tissues, intensifying the extraction of the intracellular content [10].

Seems more involved than just aggressive stirring.

Heist has a story and preset levels. Each level is usually a different ship you have to board and clear. They’re all connected by a sort of star map. The objectives for each level are preset. Though, the level layouts may be generated. I’ve rerun a couple and I remember the layouts being a bit different.

SteamWorld Dig 1&2 are platformers. I really enjoyed them. The gameplay for Heist is different but it still feels like the same quality.

I am also a fan of the Unleash The Archers cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRD3vrSLPaw

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It’s the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It’s perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.

It’s both. In episode 1 someone asks the cowboy actor to “do the thumbs up”. Later, the actor explains the mushroom safety part to his daughter. In episode 3 there is another flashback where the cowboy actor does a photoshoot for Vault-Tec. He asks the photographer “what if I try a thumbs up?”
