    RIP Araysar

    At least most machinists are smart enough to use decimals instead of fractions unlike carpenters and mechanics that have to figure out what is between ¾ and ⅞. It probably does make us better at doing math in our heads though.

    The Fifth Element (1997)

    This didn't need a remake. I like Pedro and Zendaya but couldn't they make a new movie with them instead of making a probably worse version of something that has already been done really well?

    Interesting that they changed their onion rings. I thought the old ones were pretty bad but some people loved them.

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    I think the world is ready for a gay action hero now. Probably not in the days when Will Smith was getting famous though. Maybe he took lessons from Tom Cruise.

    I don't see why anyone would feel the need to be deeply closeted in Hollywood these days.

    I know a guy that does wild game processing and he says like 50% of the people who bring him deer donate the meat. They give some to the food bank and then they just have a list of people who want free deer meat and they just call down the list until they find someone who can come get it...

    That's between them and the butcher shop. We deliver live cows and they technically belong to the customer at that point. There have been butcher shops in the area who people accused of stealing steaks but I don't know if they actually did it or not.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    That's the other German screwdriver company. Good stuff. For regular sized screws where you just want something to stick in your car or your junk drawer or whatever, I like these, made in Canada. Really good quality bits in a convenient package.

    Penn's character was certainly unique. Hollywood likes it when actors turn themselves into a freak for a role. Personally I would have given it to Benicio. He was great in that movie.

    Those claimed vs. measured lumen ratings on the cheap lights are pretty hilarious. Does anyone really want all those modes? I would actually pay more for a flashlight that didn't have epilepsy mode but it seems like they all have it. Who actually wants their flashlight to do that? The SOS...

    Seems fake. They do need to improve sauce packets though. The idea that those packets are sitting out in bins where the public is at the least sticking their hands in there and who knows what else and the easiest way to open them is with your teeth is just unsanitary.

    If you're in a strong enough filter bubble I could see watching this and thinking the revolutionaries are realistic and the fascists are a parody or vice versa. Or maybe they're just dense.

    If you have some kind of draw that will also shorten the life of the battery. Especially if you live in a cold climate. If you're having multiple batteries go bad in a short time in the same vehicle it might be something to look into.

    The way to eat a Popeye's biscuit is to split them immediately and put butter and honey on them and then eat the rest of your lunch. By the time you're done the butter and honey will have totally soaked into the biscuit and made them into an excellent dessert.

    I hate the wooden snap traps. They are so sensitive it's hard to get them set without setting them off and it gives me too much anxiety that they are going to get my fingers. The plastic ones are much easier and less dangerous to use.

    Speaking of pizza rolls, I made some homemade pizza rolls a while back that weren't very good, but in the process I wound up looking at the ingredient list for Totino's pizza rolls. It's pretty impressive... Interesting that it has both real and fake mozzarella cheese in it.

    I don't get the hate about the Arya thing. What's the point of spending a huge part of the show making her into a super assassin if she's not going to assassinate someone huge? Bran being king makes logical sense. Seems like an omniscient rational entity with no personal ambitions beyond...

    I've been having similar thoughts. I do all my question asking to AI instead of Google these days which seems like a good way to get indoctrinated. On the other hand, I like it much better.

    Mass produced Chinese flashlights are really fucking good now. I don't think there's much point in spending a lot of money on them. I think the lumen ratings are kind of bullshit, but if it says some outrageous number on it, you can probably rest assured that it's going to be almost shockingly...

    That must have been one tiny mouse. Best option if you can do it. When I was a kid all of the barn cats died of some sort of disease and the place was overrun with mice which is what led to me and my brother and our dog getting the mouse eradication job for a while.

    As someone who spent part of their boyhood killing mice in not necessarily humane ways, they're pretty easy to kill. CO2 seems overly elaborate and expensive. Probably just giving the bucket a nice violent shake would do it. You can also just put on gloves and give them a smack or a squeeze...
