although it could have been better with a less two-dimensional Maturin.
FTFY
You must admit that in the books Maturin is the most compelling and well-explored personality, and the character POB most closely identifies with (finding based solely on personal assumption, mea culpa).
I would assert that the film, as good as it is, reinforces my thesis that the golden age of sail is the least adaptable to film of any literary genre. The movie is to the books as a description of the Grand Canyon is to the actual experience.
Also they are “studding sails” and referred to colloquially as “stun’sl’s” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studding_sail
So there.
Perhaps the possibility exists that some of those neurodeficiencies were merely heightened/made more apparent in those that refused a vaccine for political reasons in the first place?
Aww my first lemmy cake.
How I love cake!
And that’s how I caked on the pounds.
But now I want to be beef cake instead.
So lemmy cake it will have to be.
These are from a food diary app FatSecret (easy, powerful, limited nagging to upgrade to premium). High protein, high fiber, low carb, low calorie.
I’m cheating with the psyllium husk capsules but they really don’t add that much to overall fiber intake and not included here is the 2-3 servings of greens-heavy salad I eat daily because salad doesn’t add to macros significantly but does provide lots and lots of fiber.
You could easily swap some proteins for high-quality carbs and still get ample fiber while staying under 2000 calories AND achieving satiety (critical). I’m maintaining a 1kcal/day deficit (through exercise) and not suffering (much).
Tl;dr: eat more veg
Hope that helps.
Biden is practicing now, and I suspect he will
make Trump look likeoblige Trump’s mission to (further) substantiate himself a fool.
@[email protected] with the everyman’s cheapskate, not-so-communist manifesto with a side of Marx-to-market knife review. Well done, sir.
Nah, merely an aficionado of the more profane elements of the language. Of which the Aussies are amongst the very finest practitioners thereof, certainly.
Incidentally, are not all chaps intrinsically assless? Unless it is two or more meager-assed fellows/chaps to whom you refer?
Cogent, incisive, nerdgasmic. Kudos.
Keep these coming.
Not exaggerating: episodes 8-10 arguably the best entertainment on TV. Visceral, palpable tension.
Enjoy the buildup.
Go slow and savor.
Uncanny.
A view
A view of the bar at Maggy McGarry’s, an unassuming little pub in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco that will furnish you with a pint o’ Guinness and a Tullamore Dew neat at 9:30 on a Sunday morning, should the need arise.
Apologies for the potato quality photo; more of a PSA than anything artful.
Cheap, good quality travel pants?
Looking for recommendations on good quality, affordable, technical (lightweight, low cotton, high stretch) pants (no zip off legs, please) that will travel well, largely wrinkle free, and can dress up and down depending on pairings. Trying to avoid the cargo pant look. Does such a thing exist, or is it like the old saying: good cheap or fast, pick two?
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who last week announced he will retire from the Senate at the end of next year, added to his party's woes on Wednesday when he said he "absolutely" would consider running for president in 2024.
Yes please! Do it, Joe!
One console, one game
If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)
I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.
U.S. Senator Tim Scott suspended his run for the 2024 Republican presidential election nomination on Sunday after months of burning through campaign cash at a blistering rate without making a significant dent in national opinion polls.
Buh bye
Five candidates seeking to halt Donald Trump’s march toward the 2024 Republican presidential nomination gathered in Miami on Wednesday for the party’s third debate while the former president held a separate campaign rally across town.
Quote of quotes:
“I’m sick of Republicans losing,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said.
Limber up there, Rhonda!
The U.S. House Oversight Committee said on Wednesday it will issue subpoenas to President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden, to appear for depositions, in an escalation of its impeachment inquiry into the president.
Yet more kabuki theater
Hardline conservative Jim Jordan pressed ahead with his floundering bid for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, after his fellow Republicans abandoned a backup plan to allow the leaderless chamber to resume business.
And this just hours after agreeing to back McHenry. Spectacular!
Combative right-wing Republican Jim Jordan failed to win a first vote on Tuesday to serve as speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, but more votes were expected to follow that could wear down his opponents.
(Channeling my inner Nelson)- HaHa!!!
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday nominated hardliner Jim Jordan for speaker, setting up a vote that will test whether he can surmount the party divisions that led Steve Scalise to abandon his bid.
This guy is a real glutton for punishment
Republicans in the battleground states of Michigan and Arizona are paying a high price for their full-throated support of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Suspended Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will not testify in his upcoming impeachment trial in the state Senate, his lawyer said late on Monday, indicating Paxton would fight efforts that may aim to compel a testimony from him.
A republican impeached by republicans? I’m sure this is fine.
Even as it has ushered in sweeping changes to American law and society - on abortion, gun rights and affirmative action - the U.S. Supreme Court has kept tabs on another issue of keen interest to its conservative majority: keeping federal regulatory power in check.
The Indiana Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law banning nearly all abortions in the state, lifting a lower court order that had blocked the law in response to a lawsuit by Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
In state after state, conservative lawmakers this year have banned medical procedures for transgender youth. Now, a growing number of federal judges are blocking those laws from taking effect.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday decided - for now - not to weigh in on the legality of judges increasing prison sentences for criminal defendants based on charges for which they were acquitted - a practice that critics have said violates basic constitutional rights.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down race-conscious policies in college admissions includes some warnings to companies about the legal limits of workforce diversity efforts and is likely to fuel challenges to them, experts said.
The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative-majority ruling letting certain businesses refuse to provide services for same-sex marriages could impact an array of customers beyond LGBT people, according to the court's liberal justices. But experts were divided over how far this ripple effect could spread.
Top rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Friday addressed the national conference of Moms for Liberty, appealing to the conservative parents-rights advocacy group with vows to bolster education and keep discussion of gender identity out of the classroom.
