The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+
Hard to look at? Interesting. Now I like redheads like Vic likes fat women, but it took a few eps for her looks to grow on me. She’s always striking in looks, but it takes a bit to see her as attractive.

The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
The cast of the Clone Wars was too large and unwieldy. It stretched the series out. Caused it to lose focus at times. It's no surprise that some people don't like it.

Groomed and then abused for 2-3 years, which sent him running to both the school and the police.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+
What, you don’t want this to end up as the Adventures of the SS Bubba Bucky? Where Buck and Falcon ply the seas, trawling their nets, bonding, and fighting crime?

The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
There were two Clone Wars "series". There's the famous one that just ended, but there is a lesser known one that appeared as 5-minute shorts on Cartoon Network between the theatrical releases of Episodes 2 and 3 that bridges the gap. workswithweed is talking about the lesser known series.

How Long Should Electronics Last These Days (mostly portable ones, phones, tablets, laptops)
Not that I've noticed. Can't think of the last time I had something die. Let's see. My son killed an iphone 6 or 7 via accidental exposure to water four or five years ago. A year or two before that, he had a B&N Nook die. I've given away four laptops in the last year, ranging in age from five to seven years. All worked perfectly. They were all low-end, three cheap Asus laptops and a budget Lenovo edge thinkpad.

Good movies that haven't held up.
So yeah, I watched the trailer and I was dying. I now recall ads for the movie from when I was in college, but I had better things to do back then. Actually, I only remember the part of the trailer where Heather Graham takes off her top and Eddie says, "You're gonna be a star."

Good movies that haven't held up.
For Cold War movies, we shouldn't start with Red Dawn. It would be better to start with both Patton and The Hunt for Red October. IIRC, Patton depicts the general wanting to continue east to fight the Soviets. Or maybe I'm wrong and it would be a good post-movie conversation starter. Red October offers great insight into the 1980s mindset. Follow those up with some Vietnam war era movies. (Forrest Gump and the Watchmen would suffice.) Then show Red Dawn as a what-if riff on the Cold War. I was actually talking to my 17 year old son about Philadelphia the other day. I asked if he'd seen Forrest Gump and then we started talking about Tom Hanks' amazing run in the 1990s. I think I told him to watch Philadelphia and ...And the Band Played On to get some insight into just how deeply scarring the AIDS epidemic was for Gen Xers and Boomers. I always thought they used it so much because those two movies were homages to the '70s, when its use in feature films was common.

MS Office 365 Help
I'd suggest bringing in a security specialist to look into the issue while creating a different username for the new hire.

What's the cut-off? I haven't seen all of his movies, but I remember the Distinguished Gentleman was pretty funny. Nothing much beyond that looked good.

Good movies that haven't held up.
Recently re-watched 48 Hours. Great cast. As an eight year-old, I really loved all them titties flopping around. As an adult, everything just feels off. The forced racial slurs. Eddie Murphy kicking ass. Was it always so self-satirizing or am I just that far removed from the time period?

What kind of computer mice do you use?
Same. I have used wireless and wired versions of this mouse for 15 or so years. Until I got him a gaming mouse, my son would use one, too. Zero complaints for general purpose use.

Dementia and Alzheimer's
So what do we take from that? Time to change deodorants and no more aluminum dishes or cans? Parchment paper and plastic wrap instead of Reynolds? Reformulated vaccines to remove aluminum?

Scraggly beard. If a person lacks the awareness of how bad that looks, no way I’m hiring them.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Ran into an interesting problem. A couple of weeks ago when the expansion to everyone 16+ was announced, I signed up my 17 year-old. He gets an appointment email last night, informs me, and confirms. Then he reads the consent form. Fuck. He got a meningococcal vaccination last week for college. You're supposed to wait at least two weeks after any other vaccination to get the covid vax. He noticed this while I was trying to deal with another problem, trying to figure out whether the location he was assigned actually has the Pfizer vaccine, (which is the only one cleared for his age range). No info in the appointment email and no info on the county website and no phone number to call. In the end, having to no show because of the two week waiting period between vaccines helps out and I'll just find a place with the Pfizer vax on my own.

Captain Picard is back
I was thinking it would look okay. Nope. Watched the trailer. Dammit. I'll have to get a Paramount sub when it hits.

The Mandalorian (Star Wars live action show)
I walked out of the theater during the Jabba palace scene in RotJ in 1983. Okay, I was carried out by a parent because I was a terrified three year-old, but I did give the movie another try.

America is in a sex recession
Here’s the wonderful summary. Key points include 30% of singles not having sex in the last year, pre-COVID. One in 20 non-virgin women over the age of 25 hasn’t had sex in 10 years!

Zelda and Link - The Time Has Come
I think the LoZ could be turned into a great anime. The original game could work as a live-action movie with minimal dialogue along the lines of Conan the Barbarian and pacing similar to the classic Lola Rennt.

Scientist Predicts Problems With Phthallatio In The Phuture?
I looked it up so you don't have to do so: the median anogenital distance in males is 2 inches. Less than that and you'll have problems. Now excuse me while I go measure my taint.

King of the Hill returning with all new episodes
Not sure if it would work. The characters are generally too intelligent for our current era.

Shit's Borked
Finally figured out what the problem is. I always have to log in on my iPhone because I use private mode. When I choose my saved login info, the site automatically logs me in. Because that process is so slow, I had been hitting log in on my own, which led to the error.

Standalone time & expense software needed
Sorry, I don't normally check this board and forgot about this thread. It does time, expenses, and billing. It has a nice phone app with a timer and will work with your phone's camera for receipts. I don't think it does OCR with receipts, but I'd have to check. Has tons of integrations with Stripe, Paypal, crm, QBO, etc, but can work as a standalone. Works great for me.
