Thank you!

255 kWh would cost me around $80

Damn. I got all excited reading the description for We’re All Gonna Die, think it was an indie game!

Alien (1979)

The way of life they are imagining has never actually existed, and has nothing traditionally “American” about it. Back when that word wasn’t an international slur.

I can hear this photo and it hurts on several levels

In the NY Post linked article:

Per KFF, the late Tennant was insured by the Public Employees Insurance Agency of West Virginia, which partners with UnitedHealthcare. (The Post reached out to both agencies for comment.)

The very beginning the article:

It didn’t matter that Eric Tennant’s oncologist had recommended the medication to shrink his tumors.

The patient’s health insurance allegedly stood in the way — until it was too late.

‘How are you today?”

“Good, you?”

“Good, thanks.”

I meant energy costs for the microgreens setup specifically, but it sounds like they are very low, and so you don’t measure them. Electricity is stupidly expensive where I live, which is why I was asking. Thanks!

I love this. What are your energy costs?

So that’s actually interesting though. I’m not necessarily condoning this behavior. But if they have identified that unscrupulous, fraudulent outside parties are potentially manipulating the reviews, and that is what’s causing Amazon to block the reviews, then that might actually be a beneficial move on their part. It’s Amazon, so I’m inclined to think they are the ones behaving badly, but this is at least a possibility.

Not to be confused with The Arrival (1996), which is a blast of an enjoyable movie, though it’s not on the same level as Arrival. The effects don’t hold up well, sadly, but I love it all the same.

My favorite Tarantino movie.

The Promised Land (2023) with Mads Mikkelson. A gut wrenching biopic that is mint Mads. Just enthralling, with amazing performances all around.

Truth. Do NOT come at swans with aggression. Or at all, really. Avoid them. They will fuck you up.

The issues all compound the severity of each other, which was not taken into account at first ☹️

In Top Gun Maverick, when Maverick rules out using F-35s for the mission because the pseudo-Iranians are using radar jamming. Because they made this piece of dialogue hard to hear (because it’s the opposite of a good reason), I had to ask on the internet what he said. I then learned that radar jamming would make the F-35 the ideal plane for this mission, but it didn’t suit the rest of the plot, so they mumbled it away.

I’m impressed. My understanding of the plot of that movie after watching it was dramatically poorer than your excellent summary here.
