    2021 NFL Thread

    I literally said "Ir's great that there have been so few penalties" right at the 2 minute warning. Sorry guys, I jinxed it, that was on me.

    Went to see Death on the Nile last night with the wife. We both enjoyed it, but agreed afterwards that if we were ever to do a murder, we would reschedule if we found out that the most famous detective in the world had unexpectedly joined our group.

    The Book of Boba Fett (SPOILER FILLED THREAD) - New eps on Wednesdays at 12am Pacific

    BoBF felt so *small* compared to every other Star Wars show and movie. It went nowhere and introduced nothing new. I might have liked it more if they set it anyplace other than fucking Tatooine. The shittiest of all planets has been featured in 7/11 movies and every tv show. EDIT: I really...

    The Book of Boba Fett (SPOILER FILLED THREAD) - New eps on Wednesdays at 12am Pacific

    I'm okay with this being the entire Book of Boba Fett. I didn't hate it, but it doesn't need another chapter.

    Misophonia: How many Ars people affected?

    I am incredibly conscious of the way I eat and the sounds I make when doing so. From a very young age I was aware that these sounds bothered me and did my very best to make sure I wasn't inflicting myself on anyone around me. The real complaint I have here stems from the open floor plan of...

    Do you bacon peek?

    I lift up and pull out the entire shelf of bacon so I can see them all at once. I prefer thick cut and I'm looking for very firm, bright white fat and good marbling. Any bending at all is a no-go. The brand I prefer is packaged in all clear packaging so I can see the entire thing, and I do...

    Misophonia: How many Ars people affected?

    I don't mind slurping, but the constant high-pitched pinging and scraping of people eating food with metal utensils out of glass bowls drives me mad. There's a married couple at work who eats lunch together, never speaking, and they both do this. It's always something crumbly, like a quinoa...

    The Book of Boba Fett (SPOILER FILLED THREAD) - New eps on Wednesdays at 12am Pacific

    Having Luke return to Tatooine would be kinda a big deal. I don't see that happening, or us seeing Grogu again this season. They probably wanted to let the Mandalorian go off and focus on restoring Mandalore without having to resolve the Grogu storyline first. Just doing some cleanup during...

    Things you just watched on netflix/streaming video...spoilers all over the joint...

    Watched "Nightmare Alley" on HBOMax. I was expecting a kind of dark fantasy: this is not that. It's really well made, and beautiful to look at, but so depressing.

    Do You Durdle at Workle with Wordle?

    I was curious about this question, so I decided to write a quick python script to find the worst-case scenarios of having guessed 4 of the 5 letters, by combining the valid guesses and answers list and parsing through: Github link (no spoilers) Here are the results. No real spoilers here...

    Thanks for this. Hadn't looks at AlephOne in a few years. Putting on some They Might Be Giants and playing Marathon2 was pretty much a speedball nostalgia injection right into my veins.

    Beskar chainmail is unique. Make your own damn lightsaber, Grogu. --- There were moments where uncanny-Luke had a weird resemblance to Henry Cavill, but it was better than before. They gotta get better on the voice if they're going to have a Jedi Academy spin-off series.

    I've been working from home for almost 2 years now, and the upcoming snowmageddon has brought my wife and kids home as well for the next few days. They're treating it like a novelty, and I'm just trying to understand their state of mind. I think this is what it's like to live in a remote...

    Tech Luddite Poll 2022

    I have never found a mouse that I like better than the MS Optical Trackball 1.0. I have 2 of them that I've repaired multiple times over the last 20 years. Also have a Ti-92 sitting on my desk that gets regular use.

    Halo tv series

    Look, I really liked Rogue One too, but the "crowded city on a desert plateau" motif needs to stop.
