I was annoyed by the change at first, but now it's my favorite intro of the three. I was really hoping for an extended version, but that doesn't seem likely now. The music is always perfect and integral, so Mike White is an idiot for not listening to him.

I have a good '08 car that I bought with cash 10 years ago for $3000. I got it from a guy who exclusively sells and fixes this model of car. I went back last year to get my car fixed and looked at the cars he was selling. '08s were starting at $5000.

I was hoping for something more like this:

A Knights Tale (2001). Sits in kind of a weird space, and didn't do great critically. A loose retelling of a story from The Canterbury Tales set in the 1300s but with modern references and music. A lot of it feels formulaic.

Yet I think the movie is great. There's some amazing chemistry between the actors (Heath Ledger, Alan Tudyk, Paul Bettany, Mark Addy, Rufus Sewell). The story may be a bit easy to predict sometimes, but the emotional beats hit incredibly hard. I can't really describe why it works, because it probably shouldn't.

I don't understand how 6 people inside their own private building constitutes a serious disruption. How can the police possibly spin that? There's no way this would be the headline if they were building bombs or something illegal.

Importantly, up until this point innie-Mark has pretty much always done what would benefit, or at least not disrupt, outie-Mark. This is the first time he's done something purely for himself, knowing it isn't what his outie wants. Even if it's doomed, it's his only taste of independence.

That was the first thing I thought of! What a throwback. I loved that game, even if the art was a little lacking.

"Didn't I already tell you my name is HobbitFoot?"

That sounds illegal. OP surely wouldn't want to break the law.

I've always wondered what people mean when they say they want a freak. From my limited anecdotal experiences they mean, "someone who's only into vanilla sex, but is very energetic about it."

I need to learn how to play this. I've had it on my phone for months but never put in the effort to figure it out.

I like this idea for reusing wrapping paper with my kid. I'll have to try it after my kid's birthday.

 

Wanted a loaded hot dog but found out half way through we only had mini-dogs.

Mini hotdogs and cheddar cheese broiled on a hotdog bun. Loaded up with rice, broccoli, oyster sauce, and Sriracha.

Ended up being delicious. A real hotdog would have been better; the minis kept falling out or moving with each bite. I'd put the Sriracha under the rice next time. It mostly ended up smearing on my face.

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don't know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I've seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.

 

My son is obsessed with Mario LEGO and had his own little table in the corner of the LEGO room. It was overflowing and my wife hated how messy it looked. While she was away for a few days I made this.

Two partial sheets of 3/4" birch plywood with French cleats attached, painted white, were mounted on the walls. Then the desk just slots into the second-lowest cleat, using the bottom cleat as support.

As he grows we can raise the desk a couple times, eventually bringing it up to 29" from the ground which is about regular desk height.

I also made a few shelves and a box for him to organize with out of the plywood scrap.

He likes that he can rearrange his storage as he pleases. I made a couple more medium-sized shelves that aren't pictured, and I may someday make a corner triangular shelf for Bowser to sit on.
