Oh, yeah, it was way different than the cartoon. Though I rewatched the entire cartoon series with my kids about a year ago, and THAT is pretty different (in a bad way) from what I remembered, so it was probably good they didn't try too hard to be true to the source material

Ha! Well, I was prime age for MOTU, so I LOVED it (but yes, rewatching it as an adult you can see the flaws pretty clearly )

I guess MOTU and Pee Wee's Big Adventure fall into the "you had to be there" camp of movies that had a big following from kids at the time, for their theater run, had limited VHS rental success... and then went completely dormant until somewhere in the bargain-bin DVD life cycle. So if you were too young to see them in theaters, and didn't have older siblings who would have wanted to rent them within the 3 - 5 years after... could have gone a good long time without even knowing they existed

To me it would be all about what cheese they made it with. Pizza-blend on a cheeseburger sounds disgusting. (though I already think most pizzas have way too much cheese in the first place) Another good one to do (that you could "cheat" on by using pre-made naan) would be a gyro pizza with feta cheese and ground lamb.

Yeah, but in the case of the better cuts of Bladerunner, it is also kind of perfect for what it set out to do.

Don't think about it like a normal pizza flavor profile. Think about it like a cheeseburger with a pizza-crust bun. (also would have added carmelized onions as a topping to my earlier suggestion) Unless you just hate pickles in general.

You're right, he's referring to one of the most important and influential sci-fi movies of all time.

Assuming we're talking about either Director's Cut or Final Cut, then a 10. The voiced-over version is a bit ham-fisted. But this movie (and the sequel) have some of the best sci-fi world-building ever devised.

Either is a great topping on the right pizza (and both call for NYC-level floppy/foldable thin crust) Balancing pineapple with something spicy is always nice. And anchovies flesh out pesto-based pizza.

In what way? I'd want to use some cheese other than a typical pizza-blend, but having pizza crust as the "bun" for an open-faced cheeseburger sounds pretty damn good. (maybe shredded gouda) Would also add jalapenos and sliced tomato.

That is a really dick-ish thing to say about somebody's homemade pizza It looks like a rolled crust (which is a totally OK way to get a thin crust at home) and it has tomato slices and obviously-real mozzarella, rather than the shredded "cheese food stuff" that comes on a walmart pizza

Have a feeling this will end up as a new case study for clearance reviews, since someone who is divorced and doesn't have primary custody of their kids is pretty clearly "at risk", just like the financial issues they tend to look into.

It was illuminating to find out how much "top stock" space we really had for bulk pantry items... And I am sure it will be YEARS before my wife or I can have a "normal" grocery shopping trip that doesn't involve compulsively stocking up on certain things whether we need it or not.

OK, makes more sense. From just before the shutdown we went from keeping about 2 - 3 weeks of food on hand (2 kids + 3 adults in the house) to bumping that up to more like 6 - 8 weeks, in case we really can't go out. Wouldn't carry that big a stock of stuff if not for the kids.

Just now?

Depends on your frame of reference, I guess. There was some unsettling specific word choice in the speech that made for a clear thumb in the eye to Native Americans while they were protesting his choice of venue.

People with narrow feet are probably fine in Nike. It's just that (at least last time I bought Nike in the 90's), their standard width is a C, and New Balance has a D-width as standard along with offering a full range of sizing options (like my college buddy that wore quad-E width shoes). Personally, I switched back to Chuck Taylor's a few years ago, because I like the zero-rise, the simplicity, the durability, and the relatively low price point

I think you are likely mistaken. Support for any country is effectively going to be proxy-support for one or the other in some fashion. Both USA and China would have to have their respective influences on world affairs shrink CONSIDERABLY for that not to be the case.

The question is would you rather: (a) support the USA or (b) support China Practically speaking, you have to do one or the other.

If we REALLY wanted to, we could probably economically destabilize China faster than they could hurt us in return.

I generally agree with that stance. But the "socially liberal" part is what goofs it up on a couple of "wedge issues" where the policies where ACTUAL change is plausible get blocked. Major "handouts" issue I'd disagree with is when it comes to healthcare, pragmatically recognizing that by the very nature of life-and-death not providing time to "shop around" as well as generally blocking rational financial decision making anyway, some kind of "universal" healthcare would solve a lot of problems. Not the least of which is allowing small businesses to be more competitive with larger and mid-sized competitors since good-quality health insurance with a small buyer pool cranks their overhead costs through the roof compared to what very-large companies can negotiate for more-or-less the same demographic spread.

For instance, take the abortion issue off the table, and I suspect there are MANY so-called-republican-adherents that are at least willing to flip independent. That issue alone as incredibly entrenched battle lines drawn that let either side run amok with all kind of other BS that are against their respective voters' best interests.

As long as people can be convinced to vote all-or-nothing on one or two (key to them) issues, you can't get people to actually vote on practical issues where meaningful change is possible, versus getting caught up in the ideological divide on a small handful of high-inertia topics that are incredibly unlikely to change no matter who is leading the government.

Understand the interesting in the old 8-bits. Though I wouldn't really call the 1984 Macintosh "homogeneous" with the offerings of its time.

Interested in an original Macintosh with pretty much everything except the digitizer pad?
