UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public.
I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

Short words and short phrases. The two failures I've had have been 2 and 3 words, nothing more than 4 letters each.

(Ah! It was an episode of Castle.)

Oh! Completely random fact, we saw Brendan Hines in a show last night, and I kept saying "MIDDLEMAN!" and pointing up in the distance.

That wasn't the case for *my* childhood -- there wasn't enough memory in an Atari 2600 cartridge to do that.

With most blindfolds, there's a gap by the nose, so you can usually look down and see various things. This was how a "magic" trick was performed.

psh only if you're doing it wrong.

See, this is why carrying around a nice fish to slap someone in the face with is a good idea.

I was fortunate enough to be able to tell her before she died: the scene discussing blindfolds and their effectiveness has stuck with me since I first read it, in the early 80s. Every time I see a blindfold on tv/film, I think about it.
She said she greatly appreciated hearing that.

No, I've seen some birds sharing. Usually having one bird on the suet ball, while others are landed. Great Tit and a House Sparrow.

Unlike the normal interactions I see, the jackdaws and the rook would all grab some peanuts from the box at the same time, as opposed to the jackdaws having to dart in when the rooks are occupied; also, another rook landed, and waited until the first rook (and his jackdaws) were gone.
comment in response to

It looks like the jackdaws will form partnerships with individual rooks -- I base this on seeing a pair of jackdaws coming in repeatedly with a single rook. I can't identify individuals, so I'm guessing they're the same.

On the other hand, a short season is almost certainly wrapped up by the time it airs, which means you don't get feedback from viewers for the current season. (NB: most animation already has that issue, though.)

It's a mix, I think -- on the one hand, we get to have tight stories, that have enough time to flesh out background, characters, motivations, and so forth. They allow actors to do multiple simultaneous shows & movies.

Well that's what you get for having a croissant for a father, I say.

And yes, he likes having his belly rubbed. Well, mostly his armpits, but he'll tolerate the rest of his belly.

It's paired in my head with Vonda McIntyre's Enterprise, incidentally.

It's a *great* book. It defined Vulcans for me, and any ST show that doesn't stick to that is a failure. A FAILURE I SAY!

I watched one disappear in real time when I opened up my phone. I never deleted it. My presumption is that the merging aspect between my phone, computers, iPad, and Watch broke badly. Just shame on Apple.

That's why the drug is called a "roofie" -- so you can pass out even while the roofers are working.

Note that the Co$ aspect is why I won't watch any of his films. I was very annoyed to have him show up in Tropic Thunder.

He is a high-ranking Scientologist. There's a very real chance he believes that protects him. I couldn't argue against it very well, given the evidence.
comment in response to

He does that a lot, and it gives him "cover" for his actions. "Well I was going to shoot myself in the head with explosive rounds, but some random person asked me not to so now I won't."

As far as I can tell, nothing new since I went to bed (around midnight). I stand by my prediction from yesterday: nothing will happen.

Ok I have not seen that episode in probably 4.5 decades, and I still remember the setup.

If that doesn't happen, then *nothing* will happen because of this feud. And I suspect it won't happen, possibly because of blackmail material.

people voted for you because you are not the other guys
what if you tried - and we are just throwing this out there - loudly and emphatically not being the other guys
instead of tacking to the mythical center in the hopes that former fans of the other guys will defect (this has never happened)
