  1. Hah, I had no idea what you were talking at first. Weird that there were so many Christopher Pike Star Trek Captains, but a guy with one letter difference ends up playing Kirk. Anyways, I enjoy Chris Pine.
  2. Christopher Pike is very capable of hamming it up, so I have some confidence in the D&D movie. Plus I think I saw Hugh Grant in there for a moment.
  3. I'm not quite sure how this all affects people playing their own single player maps. I haven't touched any of the official servers in ages, so I'm not sure if I understand how the passes and rotating bazaar actually affect me. Also, if I make my base with some stuff and the store rotates, what happens to my base? I don't know. They whole thing seems weird and geared towards multiplayer folks. I just want to build and explore alone while my thralls stand around looking scary.
  4. We were at the beach about to swim when this happened to this guy. Crazy.
  5. I did not include parents in my "young person and their medical and mental health professionals" for a reason. No kids should actually need parental consent if they want to talk to a mental health professional. It should be available to them freely and privately.
  6. My students always ask questions like this when I am teaching about all the world religions. My answer is usually a pithy "I'm not dead yet."
  7. The last line of Bruce's quote is the important one: it is a process that involves work with a medical team and a mental health professional. We don't need to have a say in this. It is between the young person and medical professionals. All we need to do is be tolerant. Puberty can be pretty rough even without transitional questions, so we should all be able to empathize.
  8. I think I've reached a point where IPA's are no longer good for me. I mean, I think I've known this for awhile, but I just spent a week in Vegas drinking mixed drinks and didn't have amy of the stomach issues I typically have. I know IPA's are gut bombs, but I still tend to drink a few a week with friends or with dinner. So if they are off the menu, I gotta decide what type of booze hound I will become. Bourbon? Rum? Tequila?
  9. Is that the girl from Starship Troopers?
  10. It probably works better in black and white, but I don't get it. Is it supposed to be making fun of The Munsters?
  11. Just got back from 4 days in Vegas. We stayed at The Circa in downtown. It was fancy drinks, good food, and some very warm workouts.This one was called Paint the Town Red: One of the highlights was swimming at the UNLV pool. You can get a guest pass for $10, and it is a super nice campus and facility to check out: I peed on the Berlin Wall at Main Street Casino: My wife really wanted to make the run down to the Vegas signs near Stratosphere one morning, but it was about 97 degrees by 7 AM, so she was struggling. It is about 2 miles there and 2 miles back, but in the heat it can be a real grind. Heat doesn't seem to bother me as much. There is a beautiful memorial in the Arts district to the people who died in the 2017 shooting. I always like to swing by Oscar's steakhouse and order these meatballs. They remind me of my Italian grandmother. Art: It was a great trip. Now back to real life!
  12. I started playing Sea of Thieves with my son. He's much better at it than I am. Basically I get to steer the ship while he runs around doing the important stuff. It's a strange game.
  13. It will be interesting if they manage to incorporate the satirical nature of the original Robocop. At first it looked like a pretty bland shoot 'em up, but the CEO stuff was spot on. Considering Spec Ops: The Line is the only shooter I've bothered with in the last couple decades, I'm slightly intrigued if they can make it more than a murder simulator. Cheesy satire at its finest.
  14. It was a lot easier to adjust finances in my 20's than it is in my 40's while supporting a household with kids and a wife. For example, skipping a season of hockey for myself as an adult is fine, but it is a lot harder to tell my kids you can't play because we don't have the money. I'll be managing debt until they are grown up, most likely.
  15. Today's day and age is way less censored, so I'm not sure what you mean. Steam is loaded with explicit games.
  16. I did the same about a year ago and have yet to play it. *fistbump*
  17. But what if KD joins Jokic in Denver?
  18. We just got back from a family trip to Universal Studios in LA. We stayed at the Safari Inn, which is kind of a little historical icon that also is a fairly affordable family motel. Universal Studios was fun. We've visited before and it just tends to be a much more chill park than Disney. But it was pretty hot and we didn't spend too much time in the park itself. Instead we spent a fair amount of time exploring Burbank, which is a pretty interesting movie studio town. My daughter really wanted to visit the Hollywood Museum. I took her, but I told her it is a rough part of town compared to Burbank. It is right on Hollywood Blvd along the walk of fame. My kids are pretty good at navigating San Francisco and they understand how dense cities can dramatically change street to street, but my daughter's words were "I'm glad we went to the museum, but now we don't ever have to go back to that area." I think we will do the Warner Bros. Studio Tour next trip.
