Parks and Rec, TNG, DS9, Cheers, Seinfeld and I kinda liked the end of Community as well. I've not watched a lot of newer shows due to lack of interest so my list is somewhat limited.

Seems kinda overblown to me, at least from the consumer perspective, as there's always a risk of a sale and you paying more than if you just had luckier timing. I'd file it under things that would be more generally accepted if Valve was doing it. Speaking of which, didn't Steam sales used to be crazy low prices back in the day? I don't know if Gaben was eating those loses entirely on his end and I may be misremembering but I do vaguely recall Steam sales actually being a can't miss event way back when.

How many Losts was that episode?

Nope, not an Epic exclusive or timed exclusive or even semi-exclusive.

‘Playing Catch-Up in the Game of Life.’ Millennials Approach Middle Age in Crisis. New data show they’re in worse financial shape than every preceding living generation and may never recover I thought this would be interesting as we discussed something similar in PoE2 section a while back. Also, Why Are Millennials Rejecting Prized Family Possessions? The experience economy is upending tradition

Was planning on cutting the grass today but it's too cold out. I refuse to go outside unless I absolutely have to when it's sub 60 out.

Finished Community and now going to give Barry a try.

We don't usually go neutral but we also use canola off and on and sometimes safflower or grapeseed oils. Anytime I can use butter I like to go that route and my wife prefers EVOO over pretty much everything else followed by ghee as a distant second. But as I said we don't often opt for neutral as fries in coconut oil is a favorite of the missus and I like to experiment. Sorry, probably not very helpful.

On mine, Biden came in 3rd to last behind Johnson and above Kasich and Trump. -

In pure numbers, sure, but the military doesn't actual function like that. In other news, isidewith.com has been updated -
Politics and Statesmenship: A Forum Special Report
ShadySands replied to Amentep's topic in Way Off-Topic
Going to the Supreme Court is maybe the point if some of the talking heads are correct. It's possible they think they have a good chance to overturn or weaken Roe v Wade with the new court and it also allows everyone a chance to see where the new guys will actually stand on this issue. As far as putting together a force of at least 1.6 million, it's not going to happen as it would require a draft or a large multinational peacekeeping force and the will isn't there for either of those options so we'd be left with just more of the same. -

I just think that Iraq and Afghanistan provide better insights into a conflict with Iran than a flawed war game does. I don't think anyone doubts that the US would steamroll Iran's military but the big problem is what comes next. Occupation Peacekeeping and nation-building is where we start ****ting the bed. -
How was The Council? I waffled back and forth on whether to pick it up or not because of my general no Steam exclusives policy. Of course, I break that policy a few times every year.

^Not sure it's all that relevant since we went ahead and actually invaded Iraq a year later. Better to look at how well that worked out. -
I've played KOTOR on my phone and it plays well enough if a little janky. I have a Pixel 2 XL if that helps on the screen size I'm working with.

Where do you all thing Ben Simmons will be playing next year? -
I've gone to eBay to purchase some special edition games/codes for unique exclusive items but never for cosmetics My shame is deep but I'm not that shallow PS I really don't care how people want to spend their money but I don't like when games get chopped up and monetized as 2k Sports has done with their NBA games

Same problem STD has with the plot driving the characters instead of the other way around. Really sounds like the season needs more episodes but that's something I've been on kick about lately.
-
Maybe they're just trying to out-Lost Lost. I never watched that show either but I've heard the ending kinda ruined the whole thing for a lot of people. I actually still haven't seen any of season 8 but I don't care so much that I've been reading all the spoilers here. It might be like True Blood for me where I don't even bother with the final season.
-
I think for me it's more that the quality has just dropped off the continental shelf. If it wasn't so good in the beginning then I wouldn't have had some high expectations. I'm used to book adaptations being bad and this is a book series that I'm not familiar with.

We enjoyed season 4 of Luci but I wish it were longer. I'd actually like more "filler" episodes as this new season was the shortest so far. While a different issue I think STD could also benefit from more episodes as it might help with the pacing issues and their Zach Snyder-esque speed up, slow down character development. Would also help flesh out the rest of the crew. Though bad writing is still bad writing.
