Did you ask Elon Musk? I bet he knows.

He probably has another bastard coming out of one of his secretaries any minute now.

....at which point, he'll tattoo a blue checkmark on the kid's forehead and send him a bill when he's 18 for 7.99 a month back dated to his birth.

Got junk mail in the box today from DirectTV. I said to my dog "Why would we need DirectTV when we dont even have IndirectTV?"

...did he answer you?

CPAP machine and my fan died today. VA sending me a new CPAP machine. Take a while assuming for snow to melt tho.

Ill have to speak to my lawyer before I answer you.

Awwwwwww... Lookit the little tie!

I like the popped collar.

Anyone have a Galaxy light projector? Thought it might help me sleep. Toss on some Witcher 3 Blood & Wine music and sounds with the lighting and was thinking maybe I could sleep really good. Or stay awake staring at the lights all night

No. Generally, less light and white noise are better for sleep than music and flashing lights. I have blackout curtains, I have covered or dimmed my LEDs. It is pitch black at night, and still very dark during the day until I open the curtains. For sound I play white noise (well, rain and crickets) through an old phone hooked up to an old set of computer speakers.

I use a big fan in wintertime for the noise and I like the air blowing on me. My CPAP make noise too.
In the summer I got my air conditioner.

This is a RUFF case, judge!

1. Why the fuck do some women's athletic outfits expose their abdomens, while traditional men's certainly do not? Do women breathe through their stomachs or something? Has this biological fact been hidden from me all my life? Was I absent the day it was discussed in science class?

2a. Why are the daily soup(s) offered by many diners and lunch spots so boring and basic? Who's ever been excited to order a bowl of beef barley?

2b. Why is the combo pie offered at all the diners in my folks' town always and only coconut cream? Is it especially inexpensive to bake?

3. I'm half a cultural chicken and have never given Thai food a fair try, but we got a fast casual place next door and I'm really loving its pad see ew as well as a beef stir fry I ordered with spicy peanut sauce. I know it's not totally authentic, but whatevs.

I have one of these Sky Lites. We stayed at an Airbnb that had one and I found it soothing, so Wife got me one for my birthday. I keep my office dim, and it's nice to have a colorful night sky overhead. I prefer a blue-green nebula with just a bit of red and only a smattering of faint stars.

Wow that is a big step up in quality.

Which is better -- to be the least of the Hemsworth brothers or the least of the Baldwin brothers?

My bias may be clear from the other thread, but Hemsworth hands down. Luke Hemsworth is unconventionally handsome and secretly the best-looking of the Hemsworths. And he's ten times as handsome as Stephen Baldwin. In terms of aspects of life beyond physical appearance, I have no idea. At least Luke's brother never shot anybody (that we know of).

Quick: Rosanna, Patricia or David Arquette? Don't think about it....JUST REACT!

Future polls will include Carradines, Bridges and Fondas.

20 years ago Rosanna. Knew a girl in my area that looked just like her.

David

Pah. The only poll that matters is Skarsgårds.

I assume there are whole volumes being written on the creepy sexual politics of 1980s music videos.

One of my top twenty favorite songs.
It just never gets old for me.

Those two replies, just:

Its really is a classic. Soon as I hear it Im back there in the 80s and all those memories of the time.

Too bad they didn't get Rosanna for the video. But that IS Cynthia Rhodes & Patrick Swayze in the music video who would again dance together in Dirty Dancing.

Unless you need to grate some cheese. Then it's handy to have Alexander around.

On a serious note regarding the insanely talented Skarsgårds: is it just me, or does Stellan still have an accent in any role he does, while his kids seem able to talk without any sign of one in any movie in which they play an American? You'd think as many years as Stellan has been in films and tv shows that he'd have the same ability.

This might go good with one of those galaxy lights

I love atmospheric room lighting - but only if I can't see the light itself.

Net net net! I snova eta sovetskaya khren' s chervotochinoy/teleportom zabrala predmet iz etoy yedinstvennoy komnaty!

Yet again the bottom of my mouse if gone! Ive rifled through 2 garbage bags thinking it may have fallen into one ....nope. I pulled my cedar chest out my pc sits on...not back there. Not under it or my chair. I dont know where the heck it got it this time. Was there just the other day when I cleaned it.

"нет нет нет! и снова эта советскя кхреньс червотофчиноы телепортом забрала предмет из этой единственной комнаты!"
=
"No no no! and again, this Soviet [expletive] wormhole teleporter took an object from this one room!"

(as someone currently studying Rooski, i couldn't resist)

Mmmm... Fresh baked sugar cookies and hot chocolate... Why am I so fat?

If they were snickerdoodles, I'd be right up there with you.
