  • On Saturday evening the president said: “Time and again, America’s enemies have learnt that if you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. Your defeat will be certain. Your demise will be final and your downfall will be total and complete. Because our soldiers never give up, never surrender and never ever quit. They fight, fight, fight and they win, win, win.”

    I honestly don’t understand why he thinks this is a good, or even appropriate way to speak. Like, ever. About anything. He manages to sound both inappropriately threatening and simultaneously stupid.

    However, by Grabthar’s Hammer, he quoted Galaxy Quest. So there’s that.





  • Captain America: Brave New World. It has plenty of martial arts in fact. Don’t watch it; it’s terrible. EDIT: Also just re-watched Above the Law. Only the second time,I’ve seen it I think, and it’s been a while. Solid action flick with some great gun fights, from back in the days when effects were practical, so real things looked real. Also in the midst of rewatching The 13th Warrior. Another hidden gem I have not seen in years. I always loved it but it gets pretty bad reviews, for no reason. It starts out a little oddly paced and Antonio Banderas has some weird cringey acting moments, but after 20 min or so it really starts to hit its stride. John McTiernan is a helluva director.



  • On a side note, I recommend not putting anything non-stick in the dishwasher. The combination of high-pressure, high-temperature jets of water, plus the surfactants in the detergent, all work together to break down that non-stick coating faster than you’d believe. You’ll seriously shorten the life—or at least the non-stick functionality—of any non-stick vessel you put in there. Hope that doesn’t sound judgy or anything—you do you—but the pan will stay non-stick longer if you wash it by hand with a non-stick-safe sponge.




  • Is a great minority take and I appreciate it thank you. Honestly, I’ve been using my parents Bosch for the last 15 months and I have not been impressed. Granted they have no clue about cleaning out the filter, and even though I informed them, they don’t remember such things. And the dishes are often left wet. Also, no one is mentioning what models they have just brands, so it’s kinda hard to make a determination since I have to assume many different models have many different features, and the guy in the YouTube video I just watched said rather than just having a basket filter some of them have an actual macerating filter that can chop stuff up and that sounds pretty appealing, but I have no idea which models have that. So I’m gonna try and figure that one out.
