I recently visited my city’s wastewater treatment plant for a tour. This was taken from the top of one of the giant digesters that process solids.

Also, a plane gliding to a landing still needs a pretty large, clear area to touchdown and come to a stop safely. Helicopters landing using autorotation need far less space.

I still remember the telnet address to the MUD I played in the late '90s. That will be burned in my brain forever.

I played Munchkin once and hated it. The barrier to entry on that game is way too high.

“Gluteal orthotic device”

I have a podcast called Almost Plausible that I make with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object (like a pillow, or a zipper, or a ceiling fan) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

We’ve been doing the show for nearly 4 years now. It’s fun to make, but it takes up a fair amount of my time. For me, a “reward” would just be more listeners. That would feel very validating.

I’m guessing these are the same guys that don’t wipe their own butts after they poop because they think touching a man’s butt is gay.

Heist (2001)

I like all of Mamet’s films, but Heist is head and shoulders above the rest, IMO. Besides being a well written heist film with a great cast, it rewards rewatching. I’ve watched it so many times, but the last time I watched it, I caught a new detail I hadn’t noticed before.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one.

I’m a bit of a pomophile myself.

I keep my power move ready, just in case…

Hopefully they actually use the pool and don’t end up getting sucked into something on TV.
