Re: May The Fourth Be With You!

The Yoda is pretty cool! The forehead makes me think of him less like a muppet and more like a dinosaur.

This is a good thing, to be clear.

MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2024 Season

Re: MoFo Fantasy Baseball - 2024 Season

The solution is to realize that almost all "slumps" and "hot streaks" are illusions. ;) Not even worth benching or starting people for, nevermind dropping or picking up or what have you.

Interestingly, I've always thought the opposite. The logic being that, for most/many addicts, the whole problem is stopping once they've started. So overeating is trickier because you have to eat,...

Re: Old School Chat Rooms

Oh yeah, I 'member. I was on AOL in the early days. And Compuserve before and after. Compuserve was closer to the Internet as we think of it today. AOL was more like the Apple ecosystem.

Re: ‘Ideal’ movie running time is 92 minutes, poll claims

I take this to be an "all else being equal" kind of thing. Nobody thinks The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King should be 92 minutes.
