If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this I'd have enough nickles to fund a studio and make HL3 myself.

I first heard the song put to DBZ clips. So I can't hear this verse without seeing Krillin getting clobbered.

Maybe my eyes are gliding over it, but does anyone know what the actual difference is? They've got relative "+80" to "-80", but no indication of what those units are. Would I be 1 kg lighter between the highest and lowest spot or .0001 grams lighter?

I have hated sauerkraut my entire life. I don't consider myself to be picky, but it would cause me to gag.

Recently I tried live culture sauerkraut and it was mellow and delicious. I tried it on a sandwich and it was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone averse to the canned stuff.

Veep is tough to watch now. Even the zaniest most over-the-top scandals in the show are absolutely tame compared to reality. It's almost boring to watch. Every episode is, "If this gets out my career is over!" when the exact same thing has since happened with a Republican politician and nobody batted an eye.

Almost all cocoa sourced by the big and medium manufacturers is grown in Africa. Many countries there still use leaded gas, and lead/cadmium mining is likely a big contributor. Some of it may be naturally occurring in the soil.

But it seems like cocoa is especially good at wicking up pollutants and storing them in the fruit.

I'm running the same version of Jerboa but I'm not seeing this issue. I'm on a different instance, though. I assume you already killed the app and restarted it?

As someone in the industry, I will say this is an issue with all chocolate manufacturing and it's getting worse. You should still avoid the brands in that list, but don't assume your favorite brand will continue to stay safe.

Definitely agree on Stranger Things. Season 1 was actually really good, but they kept ramping everything up in later seasons and it lost all of what made S1 good.

I tried watching My Hero Academia with a friend and it was rough. Basically every trope that made me burn out on anime was dialed up to 11. My friend tried to explain that it was satirizing those tropes, but I couldn't handle it.

That was exactly what I liked about it. My primary complaint about season 2 is that it's faster paced. But if the pacing's not your style then season 2 would not be worth the grind.

Yellowstone. With shows like The Sopranos or Sons of Anarchy you know the characters are evil, but you can connect just enough for it to be compelling.

In Yellowstone it feels like they want you to see the characters as the heros, when they are mass-murdering, slave-owning oligarchs. They buy cops and politicians to gain power, but get bent on revenge if other powers don't "play by the rules". I didn't last too long, but everyone else seems to love it.
