  1. It's not that surprising because IIRC it started in Galveston, TX. My maternal grandmother is from there so I grew up with it being celebrated in my family but it wasn't a really well known thing just judging by almost everyone I've ever known. It wasn't until I was in the military that I started meeting people that knew about it already. It was then either because of where they were from or the internet.
  2. Happy Juneteenth! GD, I'm sure that you already know this but Juneteenth was more of a regional thing celebrating the end of slavery in the South in general and Texas in particular. The holiday was just built on something that was already being celebrated like a lot of other holidays have been before it.
  3. Wife thinks Beyonce is better than Mary J Blige. Hopefully we can get through this.
  4. Yeah, I was really doubting playoff Giannis for a while there. Still questionable but not written off like he was about to be.
  5. That's pretty funny because Kaku was number three on my list as well but being the Trek nerd that I am Takei was number one and Jeremy Lin was number two. I made a top ten list pretty easily but if I had to exclude actors then I would really struggle to get five names.
  6. I watched it and it was good. My favorite part was when they, um, hopped on the train and, um, sailed to the moon. Totally explained why they named it what they did. 10/10
  7. I don't entirely blame him as he is one of the few stars to play the entire season but it looks like there's some team pressure there as well.
  8. Yes, I'd recommend them but since I don't know much anime I don't have anything to compare it to. I think Samurai Champloo is probably the easiest of the three to get into and Ergo Proxy the most difficult. How many times do you think you can hear raison d'etre before you go crazy?
  9. My body is ready I have a friend still trying to hold onto XP who is most definitely not ready
  10. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31632458/nba-competition-committee-exploring-rule-changes-restrict-unnatural-jump-shot-motions-sources-say Yes, please.
  11. Thinking of rewatching some old shows to see if I still like them. On my liked list I have Samurai Champloo, Ergo Proxy, and Darker than Black even though I never saw the second season. Maybe I'll start with the last one since it has a season I haven't seen.
  12. I'm expecting a delay of a couple of months and if not then I'd advise holding off playing for at least that long. Not confident their last two chapters are going to be well polished especially with only internal testing. I'm not entirely confident the first four chapters will be decently polished at launch either.
  13. Maybe in another life
  14. Rigatoni with Italian sausage and a creamy pepper sauce
  15. Will Denver take a game or be swept? I'm betting on the broom.
  16. Just wait until they fuse into the monster from Stranger Things season 3
  17. Burgers for lunch with grilled onions and grilled jalapenos. I was curious which would be better so I did fresh jalapenos and also pickled ones and pickled won according to everyone.
  18. He-Man gave me body image issues but he's also the reason I have fur underwear. Let's call it a wash.
  19. He-man was 40 years ago? I remember watching it as a kid and I'm not 40. Reruns?
