I've been on #Cara since its inception but here:

It'd be nice to see it take off because I actually trust the creators. I've not liked an art site this much since CGHub closed down...

I recently learned that Epicurus was actually not all that into wild abandon, but rather into healthy living, hanging out with friends, and managing expectations.

What could be more iconoclastic than that, i ask?



Don't forget that the MV3 deprecation hasn't gone anywhere,

June 2024 is when Google will begin to disable MV2 extensions, this is supposed to start happening during Chrome 127 which is currently making its way through the dev channel developer.chrome.com/blog/resu…

in reply to Brodie Robertson

No better time to be supportive to the users of unfortunate #Chromium browsers by directing to something not as contrived. For example, instead of drowning #ManifestV3 altogether we could look at the implementations like Firefox that retain compatibility with #ManifestV2 and don't ruin the effective use of ad blocking features. Way to keep extension development modern, all the while disregarding #Google's terrible mistake.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

this makes me wonder if computers running windows 7 and outdated chrome will be able to keep using mv2 since they can't update anyways

Steven Moffat has always been "astonished" by how popular his Doctor Who episode 'Blink' became.

Initially, it was supposed to be a "big budget blockbuster episode, with CGI heavy aliens".

However, he was told at the last minute that his budget had been drastically cut, the two lead actors were unavailable, and his episode could only use minimal locations.

As a result, "I had to rewrite my entire script in the back of a taxi in 45 minutes, just making something up."
Moffat says that he "felt no pressure, because the Doctor isn't in it, so nobody will like it."

To his amazement, it has been "talked about for years, and people constantly compare to it, which is astonishing."

Moffat has since adopted the "less is more approach. Sometimes, the power of the imagination is your greatest ally. Keeping people guessing."

From Steven Moffat's Facebook page
I learned this same lesson during my theatre days.



Lovely tune--and done without any CGI!

‘So the Aesir commissioned a giant to build a wall. If he delivered the pizza in over 30 minutes it would be free, but if he did it on time he would get the sun, the moon, and Freya. He was initially on schedule due to the aid of his horse. Loki turned into a female horse to distract it. The pizza was free, and Loki gave birth to an 8-legged horse’

Opinion On Kitchen Knives:


I'm looking for advice on buying a set of replacement knives for my kitchen. I've had the set we've been using (Ginsu serrated) for some years now and would like to get myself something more effective and sharp for everyday use. One look at Amazon and the huge number of blades and brands out there has shown that my knowledge is inadequate on the subject. I want some low maintenance blades that will keep an edge for a long time. Steel? Ceramic? Titanium? Brands? Someone who knows this stuff and can point me in a reasonable direction to start at without bankrupting my home budget please throw some suggestions at me?

That knife skills class sounds like something I should take. I'm mostly safe, but my technique is mediocre at best.
in reply to Joseph Teller

If there's a Sur la Table in your area that offers classes, Knife Skills is usually offered once or twice a month, and it's the least expensive class in the lineup.

I'd have to join Instagram or something to offer video coaching.

Whirlwind trip to Washington, DC as we prepare to move to the city later this summer.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

great thing about DC whirlwind trip is you don't have to pay to get into the Smithsonian museums. I felt like Clark Griswald at the Grand Canyon going through the museums when I only had a couple days.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Hope your move there turns out just great.

I loved living in the Mt Pleasant neighborhood across from the Zoo where I was awakened each morning by the din the monkeys made. Raucous, but not at all annoying. It's a great town to live in. 😀
