I could go for a snack.

Had a package of ground turkey in the fridge with an expiration date of 10/19. Took it out and it didn't look too good. Opened it and it smelled like ass. FURIOUS right now.

I was bored so I made 2 lbs of mozzarella-stuffed meatballs

on my way!

think i am going to eastern state tonight. never been and i hate these things.

i've been once about 8 years ago. its ok. go with a good group

Go with a bunch of douchebags

yeah thats why im going. buncha pals are going--some pretty ones too!

add in an extra scare for the pretty ones. a jump scare perhaps or just chop off her feet

Drink a lot first, and then put a paper bag with eyeholes over your head. During the tour keep yelling and then grabbing the women in your group. When the complain, say "You guys are so uptight. I'm just getting in the spirit of the thing." End the night by throwing up in the bag.

reads like a jack handey bit

I hate when a tv show or movie has this construction where someone drops some innuendo by casually referring to a conversation from hours ago like that's a normal thing to do. was watching an episode of the Knick and it goes like this:

Man: We delivered a baby here.

::all kinds of crazy shit happens, violence, suspense, etc.; at least 8 hours pass::

Man: Welp, I guess that's it.
Woman: What was the sex?
Man: W-wuh?
Woman: Ha ha, of the babies you delivered, silly. What was the SEX of the babies?
Man: Oh, I see.

::Man and Woman have sex::

no one does that!

hey i just started the Knick last night, hope to have S1 finished by friday. i will keep an eye out for that scene.

I like the show a lot. they're not the only ones to do it, I just noticed it again last night

spoiler alert

I think that we have past the point where new technologies have made our lives easier and better, and now are at the point where new technologies are primarily intrusive and in fact don't work as well as old technologies. I read something in deadspin or somewhere that compared the XBOX 1 very unfavorably with previous gaming consoles--it takes hours to set up, games take hours to install and update, and so forth. Indeed, it seems using any piece of software or new technology these days requires hours of tedious set up, remembering passwords and usernames, and on and on. All this limits whatever utility the cloud might have had. I just want to plug in my VCR, slap a tape in, and watch a movie. Furthermore, with this new model, you don't really own anything. Instead, you pay for a license to access content, which means that content can go away at any time.

Computer printers are another constant technological annoyance. True, they're practically free, but ink runs out, and ink cartridges seem to frequently not work well, rendering the entire device inoperable. (If I'm ever tempted to vote for Carly Fiorina...)

Amazon Dash is the wave of the future--is the tiny bit of convenience it offers really worth anything? It seems almost all the benefits accrue to amazon and Tide or whoever, as using the device locks you into their services. This is where the internet of things takes us--it's not designed for consumer convenience or value at all, but for the benefit of corporate overlords.

The internet is basically a giant time suck, the small nuggets of useful or interesting information is buried in a sea of utter shit.

Finally, much of the promise of all this connectivity has been nothing but unmet potential. Netflix was supposed to get beyond the business of mailing DVDs to everyone--instant view was the future. But almost nothing you want to watch is available on instant these days.

In short--new technology is expensive, difficult to use, and doesn't work very well.

Now I'm going to go yell at clouds.

Gonna be hard t disagree more with this. A couple of the points are just incorrect, like with the owning of digital content.

in what ways do you disagree with that Dude? I agree but don't find it to be much of a problem

I agree with you on some points, TV, but sometimes I think you're a little over the top and nostalgic. VCR was not a cheap, easy to operate, or reliable platform, for example, and no one is making you get XBOX

Bc the digital edition isn't going to just go away, they won't take away your license, and you have the option to download them locally
