I'm really curious about watching the rest of the series, because I'm sure there's going to be other stuff there that shows up in other films. The first thing I recognize that shows up in Spaceballs is going to blow my tiny mind.

Over the weekend I watched the first episode of the Mel Brooks version of a Robin Hood TV series. I was surprised with how much of that first episode, alone, made it into the movie "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." There was a lot of jokes and bits that didn't really land to my modern sensibilities, but to my mid-40's self, there was a lot I still recognized in the satire and parody.

Any other early efforts in TV that are a worthwhile hunt based on how the subsequent treatments came out?

Starting off my week with a crown on a molar that decided that chewing wasn’t really an activity it wanted to participate in. Heartened by how my team performed on last Friday when I took a day off, and there were some escalations/failures.

This is a great point that it's more of a era or genera than a designator to be applied as the work ages. You have Rockabilly, Classic Rock, Grunge Rock, etc.

One of the things that makes music slightly different than durable goods, although I would have a hard time calling anything from the 90's "vintage," but it's getting close to that age.

Epic pockets, I hope.

Growing up, the family joke was that it's not a project until there's blood!

I used to do this with Gentoo, and it was always a blast! Glad that you’re having fun “rolling your own!”

Hi folks!

I’m thinking about getting a Mac Mini M2 Pro, but I want to find out if people have had poor experiences running things like video calls from Teams in a guest OS. A couple of people I’ve talked to use the MacOS client for Teams, but I want to keep the accounts on the Windows install isolated from the host.

Anyone have perspective on the video and audio quality?

Why shouldn’t work be fun? Why is there an expectation of misery in exchange for living?

I kind of feel like a weirdo for not chatting a lot, I guess?

This weekend, I have some plans to finish up my miter saw stand, and do some other "puttering" around my shop. Putting together a list of actions, and their order, to help me keep myself accountable (:

  • Align the miter saw at 45 degrees (it's a hair off)
  • Align the tablesaw blade arbor to the miter slots
  • Cut the parts for six total drawers
  • Build drawers, and install
