I haven't exactly been to a large number of big concerts in my life, but still I have to say that Weird Al's was the best. It was late 90s. He played every one of his hits in costume and nailed it every time. For the finale, he buried the front rows (I was in row 2) in fake bubble snow while playing Christmas at Ground Zero. It was gloriously ridiculous. 10/10 experience. Hardest working man in showbiz. UHF was a documentary. (I still haven't seen the new movie. I really should get on that.)

There's a Julia Donaldson - Axel Scheffler children's book called "Charlie Cook's Favorite Book" in which the sound a frog makes is "reddit".

It's not so bad. They were these pre-cooked things you were intended to just chuck in a deep-fryer for a few minutes. "High Liner" brand. A Canadian staple since 1899. Haha!

It's common practice in Korea. They sell ramyeon (Korean ramen) as snack food in bags like you'd get a bag of chips in NA.

I ate frozen fish sticks when I was a kid. Just took em out of the freezer and gnawed on them.

Kimchi and cream cheese on crackers is good, too.

I think you'll notice both of those places have very low birth rates these days. Almost like people don't enjoy being crammed in like sardines and having to compete in the workplace like rats fighting over the last rotting morsels.

I'm sick of this magnetic tape revival! It's happening in music, too. People releasing cassettes again. It was good for its time, yes, but it's a shitty, failure prone medium.

Not in the books, it isn't.

It was so unbelievable that a man like him suddenly becomes a saint.

I think it was pretty hard to determine exactly what his role in the occupation was until s6e11, "Waltz" when he outs himself while pulling a Misery on Sisco. Though I guess his selling out the Cardassians to the Dominion one season earlier was a pretty glaring clue. It seemed to me that he could have been a victim of circumstance rather than a vindictive monster until that point.

Though in hindsight, I get it being very hard to swallow that he might be redeemable.

Gul Dukat is so well written. It really seems like he's going to be redeemed seasons 3 and 4, and then WHAM-POW he's a fascist who sells his own people out to the Dominion, and a racist who actually thinks Cardassians are superior beings. The show makes you like him, and then completely pulls the rug out from under you.

Mine still exists, but no one posts there much. Including me. https://lemm.ee/c/synthesizers
