    You know you're getting old when.....

    You have my sympathies. I had essentially the same thing done, plus clearing out years of scar tissue that a life of sinus infections had left in my nose. Once done I felt fantastic, But I was wearing a tampon over my nose for a month essentially to deal with the long recovery time.

    I damn well loved Connections.... And now I'm triggered because I can't find it streaming anywhere.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I only got to do it because we were doing a marketing event for some of my companies "high tone" customers.... Still, I had to be careful about getting out of the cars knowing I'd probably still be 3/4 to full on. I think some time this fall we're doing the NASCAR driving experience at TMS.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I will give you this point. There is a place SW of Ft Worth Texas called "Motorsports Ranch" where they have a great pair of tracks and stable of very fun cars. I did laps in a Lamborghini, Ferrari, and a Viper. The Viper was the only car with a clutch to work.... But spoiler alert...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Even non electric cars now have high performance 8+ speed automatic transmissions that are all but unbeatable by someone working a clutch.

    Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018)

    I'm sure the wife and I will make a night of seeing this, we both enjoyed the first and it looks like they're playing it smart enough to do "more of that.. BUT WITH THE INTERWEBS!"

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    OK, a month ago a faulty AC install resulted in a condensation drain line coming loose in my attic, dumping water in the insulation, down through a wall and under the floating floor installation and under the vapor barrier under it. This ruined the floor in our master bedroom and hallway. On...

    Black Panther (2018)

    If they pull the "someone else gets the gauntlet and wants to undo the destruction" they could get a little "distracted" and end up rezzing tons of characters. If they go wide enough and the Fox/Disney thing is REALLY finalized by then they could use it as the excuse to merge various universes.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    The trick with purebreeds isn't that they're all inbred, it's that in many areas the same 2-3 bloodlines just stay isolated. That's the negative inbreeding. If you're going to go the purebred route it's always best to look into their lineage and see if the sires and bitches come from different...

    Lucifer

    Yeah, the voice overs got up on cringeworthiness. Which hurt as I believe it was actually Gaiman doing them. I actually liked the episode with "RayRay", and did not expect the reveal at the end. Although I'm kinda OK if that is all for this series. I would have liked to see some of the "how...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The problem is that cover , if it's like mine, is essentially just cloth , not reflective on the top, and heats fast in the sun. Car was showing 100 today when I left my lunch meeting and was still tolerable on the inside while the AC kicked in.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yeah, and don't forget the sunroof in my case.... Also I discovered the miracle of science which is the combined carbon/ceramic tinting.... Unlike the cheap crap I had in my old Mustang.

    Newest additions to our zoo... Sisters, half boxer/Half Pit. Mom (the Pit) died in childbirth so they've been bottle/human raised. Vet is estimating they're going to get to between 60 and 70 pounds full grown. Right now they're just lazy 40 pound "puppies" at 5 months. (xpost from the "Pit...

    I got what was the basics and legal in Texas as dark as I could take it. I didn't get anything done on the front windshield though. Debating it now only for IR/UV but also now they can do the whole windshield (on the outside) and it adds chip resistance. Which is unfortunately needed if...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Did breakfast and a movie with some friends today to see this.... 10am showing. Theater less than 1/4 occupied. Review? A solid 4.5-5/10. Very Meh. Might have been more entertaining if it hadn't had all that Star Wars entails attached to it, but did "feel" like a star wars movie enough...

    Trading in your used car.

    The places that say "$X,XXX trade in value for anything you can drive onto the lot" are essentially buffering the prices they start negotiating at to recover that money. I need to find a place to buy a car which has been in a wreck and wondering what the best way to get best value for it...

    ThunderCats Roar - Proof there is no God

    I have some friends in the geek community trying to defend this as "old people complaining about this is what's killing new cartoon series"... I have to step in and call bullshit on that one. The only reason you regurgitate something like Thundercats in a remake is because you want to cash in...

    I'm more thinking Coulson will get saved, but it will be by someone else. As to pull him back into the movies. I could imagine that after the next Avengers movie (when they probably effectively bring back all or most of whoever got dusted) there will be a reforming of "SHIELD proper" , with...

    I have to actually find the soundtrack now because that one certain song is going to be a ringtone for me..... Overall, it was everything I could have wanted from a Deadpool movie. Aside from a purely fan service sex scene I now want between a couple particular x-menPERSONS.

    Supernatural jacks around more with the "alternate universe" mcguffin, and end up in the Arrowverse, along the way they stop and pick up this Lucifer, so we can have a Lucif-off.

    Lucifer

    Yeah, that's a pretty crappy way to end the series. At most I'd hope maybe they would make a made for TV movie or somesuch to tie it up, but they won't. We just have to deal with that being the end of it. OTOH, I did enjoy the finale.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    More accurately it makes more sense as by then the half of existance wiped out will have been restored by whatever un-maguffining they pull off in the next Avengers movie. So they will effectively not have to deal with that aside from a mention or two about "how wacky was THAT?!?"

    Lucifer

    Don't bank on that... since all of this season is already in the can, and they aren't going to produce more. Unless the writing staff decides to crank out some postscript on social media.
