Tanya Roberts still alive. What the hell?

I watched Prometheus the other day and I really dug it, but Im a little confused by the ending. I think this is the gist of it: This movie is a prequal to the Alien movies. The Engineers seeded multitudes of solar systems across the universe with their own genetic material, which is a match for we humans. Now this is where things get murky for me...at some point the Engineers "changed their minds" and decided to create a biological lifeform that would destroy the other lifeforms they already created? This is what is inside those urn looking things? And when the urn worms gestate, they turned into the tentacle monster that the doctor had removed from her abdomen? And that tentacle monster was the precursor to the facehugger? And since the tentacle monster facehugged the last living Engineer on the ship, and the xenomorphs take some genetic material from their hosts, that is why we see the creation of the first "traditional" Alien at the end? Whew.

Yeah, once you create the daily settings it just sits there doing its thing like any other thermostat, just sexier. But I have to give the Google Home app props for ease of installation and integration. You simply scan a QR code on the back of the thermostat and it provides step-by-step instructions right on your phone/tablet for install, connection to your wi-fi, various settings and features, etc. Its pretty slick.

I installed a new Nest thermostat the other day. Easy peasy and the power company around here gives you an automatic $75.00 instant credit, so they pretty much made me buy it. I entertained myself for a little while playing around with the settings via my phone and it looks all sexy on my wall compared to the old fashioned style thermostats.

Looks like the first six "mental health issues" can be instantly resolved with $1k/month/life. *shakes fist at the sky*

You guys probably use ketchup on them too.

Happy New Year!

The UK will be stronger than every other EU member except Germany? Delicious. I guess they were right. 👍

Yep!

This is why we deserve $1k/month/life.

My wife bought me a new Cowboys sweat shirt to replace, and Im not kidding, my 15+ year old "lucky" Cowboys sweat shirt. Loe and behold they win by 20 points. The Cowboys are winning the super bowl this year! WOOOooo!

I just want to be a slightly less villainous version of Ultron, is that really asking too much? I might even let humanity live.

I want to be born 100 years from now. My primo cyborg body, with adjustable dong, would no longer be a slave to the ravages of time/illness/disease and I could explore the cosmos.

Im not a fan of shrimp, or lobster for that matter, dont care for the texture. Im mean, Ill eat it, but its not something Ill order for myself. Now if theres a study about Alaskan King crab, then Im fully behind it.

No pardon for Joe Exotic! Shameful.

Fermilab and partners achieve sustained, high-fidelity quantum teleportation.

No, the family parties have been cancelled. A lot of those people I only see once a year during these parties.

Christmas day we'll get up and open present and then make a delicious breakfast. Afterwards Ill set up / clean up and then probably take a nap. NYE isnt really a big deal anymore. Have a few drinks with my wife while I struggle to make it to midnight to watch the ball drop. Actually, we usually watch the New York ball drop so its an hour earlier.

I was going to mention, based on an earlier post of yours, and once you figure in ~.15/mile operating cost of your vehicle, that your close to making CA minimum wage ($12/hour). I figured the tips is what made it worthwhile for you.

Its the last working day of the year for me (although Ill still be answering my emails) and I got my annual bonus, which I was sweating for a while. HUZZAH! Christmas is a fun time of year for us. I like giving gifts to my family and our extended family (aunts, cousins, etc.) also play a gift giving game called "white elephant". The object is that everyone brings a wrapped gag gift, puts them all in a pile, and then draws a number from a hat. You choose a gift from the pile based on your number, and people behind you can steal your gift and give you theirs if they wish. Good times watching old ladies maneuver for a particular tchotchke.

Indubitably. Do you think these heroes also returned their bonuses so as not to profit off ill gotten gains?

They got paid their bonuses and are still qq-ing? Of course.

The Mandalorian S2 finale. That was the best Star Wars that Ive seen in years. 🤯
