So we were talking in the car the other day about how yeast is alive (until it isn’t). How do vegans feel about yeast? Honestly asking; I don’t know any vegans irl that I can ask.

My dad watched a lot of Bond when I was a kid and I never liked the Moore ones because I thought they were too silly. But this puts a different spin on them and I appreciate Moore’s thoughtfulness. Good man.

Everything falls apart so fast these days!

I’m good at it. But, at the same time, I live in a pretty diverse area and I’ve met plenty of people who are clearly not super comfortable with it. So it’s an interesting balancing act to do it enough to be showing respect but not so much that I creep them out. Mostly I take my cues from their own eye contact levels.

Ha I get these exact same texts but in California

No no, it’s dumb. It’s not the cadence that makes it dumb; it’s the substance, or sometimes utter lack of it in Trump’s case.

KnitPicks (I’m a knitter primarily) and they have a sister site, WeCrochet I think; I haven’t used it but you might try it out. I shop for most of my yarn online and have gradually learned over the years what qualities to look for to know if I’m going to like how it feels.

I’ve read a few from T. Kingfisher this year and they’ve all been awesome.

Also really enjoyed the Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi, and the Emily Wilde books remind me in a good way of the Lady Trent books which I loved.

I’ve also read a few romantasy books but they’re unfortunately forgettable. I think I’m kind of over the genre. I want my fantasy with a bit of romance, not the other way around.

BookWyrm is great, seconding!

Anything by the Coen brothers. Especially the Big Lebowski. I just don’t get it. But I’m probably not the target audience, either…

I was 100% in agreement with all of them until the last one.

Five stairs at time down would break my ankles

Oh yeah /r/stupiddovenests was awesome.

One of the subreddits I miss terribly is /r/divorcedbirds. She would fit in nicely. But someone cleverer than me should come up with a good backstory.

The sentiment still stands. :) Just in case someone wanted to actually try something like this, hopefully my pedantry will make their web search easier.

Please forgive my pedantry but

It’s right there in the Reddit URL!

The Replacements. Keanu Reeves playing a sub quarterback. It’s stupid fun even if you don’t like football and the supporting cast of football players are great.

What we do in the shadows

I looked into this for my son, who gets really bad hiccups. We have lots of regular straws, so before I bought a special one, I had him try a regular straw that was pointing straight down at the bottom of the cup so that it was letting in as little water as possible. Totally works (most of the time).

An Affair to Remember (1957) Yes I did watch it because it is referenced in Sleepless in Seattle and yes I did blubber cry just like the SiS characters suggested.
