Nearly every day. My driveway slopes down and there is a retaining wall that runs along it. Whenever I come home from walking the dog I jump up on the start of the wall and walk up it, instead of going up the stairs. It’s only about 3 feet high.at that point, so I could take a giant step, but I like to jump up on it.

I’m 45 years old, BTW

I graduated in 99. Didn’t think I’d make that big of a difference.

Some Christians believe the return of the Jewish people to their land is viewed by some as a sign of the end times, leading to the second coming of Jesus. And yes they want the rapture to happen. There is speculation that is why they so strongly want to defend anything Israel does.

Lindsay Ellis just did a great video on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwpanShgOp4

I hated Product Managers as first but learned how they can be a valuable asset. Especially when dealing with customers or executives. They can handle all the crap throw at us and just filter down what we need know.

As a parent with a demanding job, I will get so distracted with life that I forget to reach back out. I even do it with family from time to time. I feel so bad that my brother reaches out to me more than I do to him.

I would just send a short message saying something supportive and non-judgmental. Like, “sorry I haven’t reach out lately, things got busy (with my job/schoool/or whatever you do), just wanted to check and see how you are doing.” Or something along those lines, to put the onus on you and easy her feelings if she does feel bad about not messaging you first. I would not immediately ask her to meet again. Just see if you can get the conversation going.

Tara Reid as an archaeologist and museum curator in Alone in the Dark. In fact the only good thing about that movie was the soundtrack.

Terminator 2 (T2) is a masterclass in combining CGI with practical effect and its ending is a rare cinematic full stop.

The T-1000’s liquid metal form was revolutionary, the morphing effects were cutting-edge in 1991, yet Cameron used them sparingly and only where practical effects couldn’t work. That restraint made the CGI more impactful and has made it so they still hold up 35 years later.

The truck chase through the storm drain, the helicopter flying under an overpass, the Cyberdyne building blowing up; it was all real and you can feel that when you watch the movie. There is no way any movie studio would do that nowadays when they could just CGI giant Michael Bay explosions.

The destruction of Cyberdyne and the Terminators meant the timeline was reset. Judgment Day was averted. The T-800 lowering itself into molten steel is an iconic moment; a machine choosing self-sacrifice for humanity. It’s a perfect final note, not just for the character, but for the franchise. Bringing him back again and again weakens that sacrifice. Any sequel has to undo all of this just to exist. Which is why to this day, I have not watched a single Terminator film after T2.

I’m 44 years old and I still can’t stand people standing behind me if I’m sitting down. When I was a kid and I did something wrong my dad would sit me at the table while he walked around yelling at me and every so often he would walk behind me and slap the back of my head.

To this day I still get so uncomfortable that I have to get up or ask the person to move. Even if it’s my own kids, I can’t stand it.

Back when every HP printer worked on the LaserJet 4P driver that was less than 1MB.
