What are your thoughts on this movie?
  • In an episode of Happy Days, The Fonz goes water skiing, encounters a shark, and jumps over it in the water skis. It marked a moment of dramatic decline in the show's overall quality, and the term has been used since for any such point in time where something is identifiably worse after a specific event.

  • What advice would you give to people in their 20s?
  • Like everyone's been saying, learn to take care of yourself. Cook and eat well and exercise and sleep. But also just fuck around a lot. Say yes to things. Try something new every time you can, even if it's just a dish you've never had. Meet people and talk to them and have fun with them. It's harder to meet people as you get older.

    Travel if you can, but you don't need to be a jet setter to have new experiences. Find trails and museums and go listen to live music. Try creating things, you don't have to be good at it or keep doing it, just doing it is the point.

    Aging comes with a certain amount of solidity, in your energy and mind and responsibilities. It's amazing and it's not something to fear, but it does mean you can't just fuck around as much. And if you're going to be a person for the rest of your life it might as well be a person you like.

  • Running General Chat - Weekly Thread Sat 29 June 2024
  • I've always been a casual runner, never really trained seriously and threw some gear on whenever my body started telling me it needed it. In recent years that's led to a pretty lax schedule. Yesterday I ran 5k and it marked 6 months of running at least once a week, which is the most consistent I've been in about a decade. I'm pretty happy with that.

  • What is your favorite decade for movies?
  • I'm partial to the 1960s. David Lean did Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Kubrick had Dr Strangelove and 2001. Hitchcock put out Psycho, Kurosawa did Yojimbo. Cool Hand Luke, Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy.

    Cinema was really ambitious and huge in scope, and directors with an eye for photography were doing some incredible, slow, lingering shots.

  • Star Wars: 'The Acolyte' Official Trailer
  • Seeing Jason Mendoza from Jacksonville Florida did that for me. He probably ended up on Coruscant after doing whippits and didn't want to come clean because he thought he'd get in trouble.

  • Men over 30, what type of wall art do you have in your home office or gaming room?
  • Over the years visiting different museums and galleries I would grab a postcard from the shop of a piece I'd seen that day that spoke to me and frame it on my office wall. Ended up with a diverse little collection of art I enjoyed. Sometimes people would come in and see something they liked that they'd never heard about before and I could talk to them about it. It beat spending the time in spreadsheets.

  • [Question] for the life of me i cant get my toum to emulsify
  • The only thing I can think of is that the jar he uses is very close to the diameter of the immersion blender, which restricts the oil incorporation into the emulsion. If you're using a wider jar it might be allowing too much oil to flow in at once and breaking the emulsion?

  • Studio Ghibli's "The Boy and the Heron" has won the BAFTA award for Best Animated Film!
  • Deserving. There's a lot to be said about making way for new animation talent but Miyazaki put out one of his greatest movies with this one. It's beautiful and moving and I had to pee the entire time I saw it and didn't want to get up and miss anything

  • How to best oil wooden cutlery and kitchen tools?
  • Howard makes a cutting board cleaner, oil, and butcher block conditioner. I use the latter every few months on our handmade boards and bowls and it keeps them well protected. The instructions on the bottle suffice for application.

    If your pieces are particularly dry it might be a good idea to use the oil followed by the conditioner. I'm sure other mineral oil products would do a similar job but I've had good luck with this one and a bottle has lasted years.
