  • My six year old daughter is getting the hanging of the spelling and whatnot, but earlier on in her Kindergarten year, words like “driver,” to her, started with a J. I had never thought about it, but it absolutely (at least in our NJ dialect) has a J sound, because, as you say, we all talk fucked up (paraphrasing).

    Cruise ship or bust.

    And it’s just a drawing but I’m trying to realize it in actual size. Cruise ships are huge, pushing 250 or so feet out of the water. That’s considered a high-rise in the construction world.

    Now I look at that loopdy-lopp and say hey, that boat could fit. I’m ignoring all the other physics and shit and just Matchbox car’g that boat through that loop. That makes that loop like, what, 1000 feet? And that is ignoring the structure beneath the surface, and also the other dimensions of this, and the sheer velocity and volume of water.

    So I’m gonna call this one a hard maybe. Perhaps if the world could set aside it’s differences, we could do a sort of space race, but instead a ship flip, or a boat float, or some other rhyme.


  • It’s literally the thing that keeps me coming back (to the seas). I have paid for the services, and the service they provide has been steadily degraded. I still have Prime because they haven’t fucked up delivery to my home (yet), but I don’t even open the app on Roku anymore, I just download whatever it is, because I have no interest in dealing with their shit interface and then having to watch ads after.

    If a service can give me a simple, easy to use interface, good search feature, good quality, and decent enough content, you’ve got my money. That’s just too much to ask these days, so I’ll just donate to the site(s) that provide alternative services.
