Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Part 2
I thought about giving it a shot, but it looks like Zippy Magic is badly broken and there's still a host of other bugs so I think I'm gonna wait a few more months. Maybe the "abilities work as their descriptions say they do" or "monsters with over 9000 ac were brought in line" dlcs will drop by then.

Coronavirus 666: The Number of the Delta Variant (but in an entirely scientific context)
I think it's to illustrate how bad things there are. Like if you looked at a factory where workplace accidents were daily and pointed out one day in two years without an accident, that just reinforces how unsafe conditions are there rather showing off.

I guess the rona really does age you. In two months I'm going to be 80.

Coronavirus 666: The Number of the Delta Variant (but in an entirely scientific context)
Technically the first here in Texas was the middle of March 2020, but since then it seems like it's been at least double digit deaths daily.

Samurai Champloo 15 Ninjas, robbery, conspiracy, and a fat Fuu. At a bit more than halfway through the season the pattern of Mugen getting more attention than Jin continues. It's not that I mind Mugen episodes, the show is consistently great and could work with just Mugen and Fuu, but Jin is a great character that I'd love to see more of. There are 11 episodes left so maybe Jin will get more of those.

I'm definitely not going near my family now. Good luck.

I wish it was that easily identifiable for me. Honestly I just can't articulate why I can't watch some shows fast. This is probably my version of aversion to post 90s anime or needing to watch every episode even if I hate it. I've developed somewhat of a hesitancy towards watching features outside of a weekend. While I can, and often do, watch an equivalent amount of episodes almost on a nightly basis there's something about a 1.5+ hour runtime that seems intimidating. Again there's no logical basis for it but when I see the long runtime it's discouraging. I'm planning on watching The Beta Test this weekend, and maybe Dune. The former I've been looking forward to for a while and the later bored me with the 30 or so minutes I watched, but I want to see the big worms and see if it blows up my TV.

Don't you want to turn red? Man that sounds cool. But it doesn't make sense. Where would Bill Gates hide the ship? Why bother killing off everyone instead of just leaving? Why explore when the earth is part of a giant ball of ice and space is a hoax? Meanwhile the real dystopia is a bad drawing of a monkey smoking a blunt is worth $100000 because it uses the same energy as 5 households do in a year each day to maintain it. Talk about lame. I have a conspiracy theory that governments spread conspiracy theories (some of which is proven, like the evergreen antisemitic screed Protocols being fabricated by the Czarist secret police way back) because it tends to shift focus away focus from institutions and structures (and action against them) and towards well basically cults and snake oil peddlers that may rack up a human cost but won't get close enough to the gears of power to do anything. Think about it, we've seen governments go hard against Anonymous, environmental activists, Barret Brown, Reality Winner, Donzinger and others who whistleblew about stuff the government and corporations actually did or directly hit them in the profits. Meanwhile the conspiracy crew (with it's usual ties to fascists and other cretins) have not gotten near the same crackdowns despite having done much more real harm to people. The conspiracy guys who claim that they're fighting against an unprecedentedly powerful enemy or enemies not only manage to stay out of prison.(let alone get killed), a good amount of them make enough money where they don't have to wage slave anymore.

The All Things Political Topic - As a Bright Lord bears Beacons of flame.
I think the opinion polls of the VP can be correlated to the opinion polls of the President and their party in general. So such a low opinion of Harris is indicative that there are a lot of people who are not happy with the way things are going. This is not very good news for Democrats, who in addition to facing the falloff from the general election to midterms are going to be fighting through gerrymandering and voter suppression in 2022 and 2024.

I don't think it's animation style. But honestly, I don't know what it is. I can't really isolate any factor that'd cause me to take the show slower. Because Samurai Champloo is very good. Maybe it was Speedwagon or JoJo’s balls for Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency. JOESTAR-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! ...I think I'll pass and just pretend nothing happened in Star Trek after the war with the Dominion.

I honestly can't think of a thing that Harris has done. Which given the situation we find ourselves in, is pretty damning.

That was a joke. On one hand I can relate, Samurai Champloo is very good but I don't think I've ever watched more than two episodes at a time. On the other hand.....you can watch underage girls join the techno magic army but can't take too much STANDO POWAH? No, I think Picard and Discovery are both on CBS+ or something. I don't know, I've got access to Amazon, HBO MAX, Hulu, and Netflix.

Yup. On the brightside, no nuTrek for me. If nuTrek was real and not a collective nightmare spurred on by Red Letter Media. Well if you of all people are recommending a skip that is a bad sign. 😼 But it's not a time issue as much as a psychological one, like I can sink hours a week into watching stuff but a hour+ long run time tends to put me off more than episodes.

Food Thread - What are you eating?
I've always heard it referred to as [type of cheese] [type of meat when not pork] sausage. Besides, smoking sausage is much better than grilling it. It can be good, but as @majestic says the cheese stays way hotter than the meat so you often get burned by cheese or you get cold(er) meat. I think jalapeño cheese is the best, but unlike @ShadySands I'd go with jack over cheddar. But since sausage isn't super healthy, I ate some yogurt and granola.
