Most fish oil is completely ineffective:
I’ve personally noticed some powerful effects from fish oil: 1) it can act as a neotropic booster, particularly in conjunction with SRI’s and similar meds / substances, 2) it can cause me significant insomnia (no arrhythmia) if I take ~6-8 capsules.
Is that germane to this thread? Probably not, but something seems to be going on. Maybe fish oil has been studied so far on too limited a basis.
Thanks, Blaze.
Appreciate. ^^
crowbarred in
I think when they said that, the implication was that there was no need for such. I.e. it interrupted the flow of the story and didn’t add anything useful, other than perhaps pandering to a certain crowd.
Oh, rabbits!
I find it ever-so-slightly pompous with all the horns, but otherwise, a cool remix of the original theme.
Roddenberry from what I’ve read in multiple places sounded like a huge asshole to me, and nowhere near the ‘Great Bird of the Galaxy’ he liked to self-label himself as. Now yes, a very talented asshole, whose vision started the franchise, and certainly who put in much work on TOS (along with many other talents), but nevertheless a real PITA on a personal level who wound up burning most of his bridges.
Point is-- if Meyer lost his cool with him as a young guy, I wouldn’t be very surprised.
Umm… whoah
Love you @[email protected], but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)
So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.
Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.
Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S
Late reply, but in English media articles, it’s still fairly common for me to see references to what people said on Reddit. AFAIK there are also still entertainment sites (“Caveman Circus” being one) that still regularly harvest expert or semi-expert takes found on Reddit in order to construct ‘best of’ articles.
Though-- perhaps that activity is down somewhat, as you suggest.
And… what symmetry would THAT be, dude?
It’s been a long, loooong time since I’ve uttered these words, but: THAT ABSOLUTELY KICKS ASS. (or Romulan pastrami, whatever)
Now, there’s always going to be a quibble, so here’s mine: Leonard Nimoy was about 6’ in actual height, and I believe Jon Frakes is about 6’3" - 6’4," right around Michael Dorn’s height, for example.
Still-- I get it. If the artist is trying to suggest the outsized influence of Spock, I understand. I mean, Shatner was utterly magnificent in his role, but Nimoy was also right there with him, a brilliant, iconic presence that helped turn TOS in to what might have otherwise been “Lost in Space.”
I love this comic, because “never quit / never surrender” is one of the godamn stoopidest phrases in our culture.
How about: “Take a break, re-tool, gather yourself, ask yourself if this is what you really want, and if so, can our methodology and stress-relief be improved? Well then, well then!”
These are really well done for the most part. Very light-hearted, but rather devious: (Just for Laughs Gags)

I’d be interested in learning, because German is the biggest contributor to modern English along with French. Of course the split happened long, long ago, but still…
It would have to be a couple years though, after I (knock on wood) am done getting to about B2/C1 on French.
Round House, an octagonal building Wyeth had constructed; in which Betsy Wyeth now archives her husband’s works. “One if by land, and two if by sea” references Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride.”

So if I understand correctly, this building has nothing whatsoever to do with Paul Revere’s Ride, or related architecture. Interesting building, tho!
chicken powder separately
Unfortunately, the ones around here aren’t all that great. Going by a ramen packet right now, it looks like this “Maruchan” version probably has more spices and dehydrated veggies than the straight chicken powder. Also, methinks the OXO cubes would be pretty hard to sprinkle over popcorn(!)
That said, there’s all kinds of great popcorn toppings (store bought and homemade), so I don’t suspect it’s a big problem.
Oops, pardon my rambunctiousness, there!
So, over here I try to casually aim for one-post-per-day on my little startup anti-Reddit community (EGN+), which… oh, bother, it’s still too much work for me, daggit! (I have CFS/ME)
In addition, I feel like I need to explain every little thing. Which is probably a sensationally idiotic goal, right? *gulp*
I think your method is more practical, frankly.
Omigosh, you just made my day, crafty. !
We’ve talked about art before, meh, eh!
(fellow artists talking about art, lol)
No no…we had it fixed for centuries
I really don’t understand you there.
No, in fact the very founding of the USA was arguably done primarily so that the ruling class could disregard the respectful boundaries that the English imposed to avoid strife with Native Americans and other colonial powers, which incidentally tended to curb our exploiting the land willy-nilly as we’ve shamelessly done since. It also locked out women and slave voters, preserving a classist system.
Since then there’s been various periods of little / negligible useful social policies, as well as periods in which the ultra-wealthy and common capitalists were UNCHECKED in their ability to thoroughly exploit people and form monopolies, etc etc. Seriously, if the Roosevelts hadn’t come along, those things might have progressed scarily unchecked.
So, no-- I certainly don’t see evidence that our form of democracy was ‘fixed for centuries.’ No, the fact is it’s been a shaky, wild, perilous ride from the day one.
…the 1964 presidential campaign, as that’s the markings of the first ever attack ad.
Maybe in terms of TV, but TV is just a natural extension of media, and media in the States has been used since… at least the early 1800’s? to completely slag-off or outright attack enemy candidates. Indeed, it’s been a perfect blood-bath of disinformation at times, which doesn’t even address all the nasty, vile tricks used to disenfranchise, or outright turn away undesirable voters at the polls. Which yes-- includes outright violence against undesirable voters across centuries in the States.
So, yeah… that all happened.
Altho I DO agree with you that somewhere between 50-70yrs back, the USA has been outright under attack by right-wingers, paving the way for fascism. Basically attacking most of the progress made under FDR and even Republican presidents like Ike.
I’m not sure that’s really the opposite side, in reality.
