Just a geek from Iowa
That, and if you look up the work history of the columnist, she's been employed by several right-wing and conservative outlets. Easy money says she's MAGA to the core
I feel for you. I had to convert my department's knowledge base from SharePoint years ago, and settled on an internally hosted Mediawiki server, because it's free and open source. I've now been told I have to convert that over to Salesforce Knowledge, because my company drank the Salesforce kool-aid
Here's a link to the full 16 minute video if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFcRD_xs6P4
There have been some crossovers and callbacks. I think they original Blur (blurry dude in the middle in the image above) is in the main 616 universe now, as part of a multiversal Squadron Supreme.
That's not the Discovery on the card. That's the Athena, from Starfleet Academy
Makes sense. The Beastie Boys started out as a hardcore punk band started by Mike D named the Young Aborigines. Some members left, which lead to MCA and Ad-Rock joining and the band being renamed. They started making the switch from punk to hip-hop around 1983, if I remember correctly.
Dude, that's awesome. Thrasher is one of my favorite 90's characters
Roughly, yeah. I think regulation basketball court size is 94 by 50 feet, or 28.7 by 15.2 meters, but I legitimately don't remember if there is any size variation if we are talking about NBA versus college basketball, or any international leagues.
And the reason I know about this in relation to that yellow-bellied sapsucker seems to like to do this with the rain gutter on the front of our house. He first showed up about 5 years ago, and when he did this on the gutter, it sounded like someone was pressing a running impact wrench on the side of the house. Shocked the hell out of my wife and I. We went outside to find the source of the sound, and I saw that little feathery bastard looking at me from above the front door. 2/2
Where I live, it's mostly Downy and Red-Headed woodpeckers. However, there's a yellow-bellied sapsucker that migrates in and out of the area each year. I know this because woodpeckers use something called "drumming", which is rapidly pecking hollow or resonant things to make sound carry farther. They do this to mark territory and/or attract mates. 1/2
@op I have to ask, given your love of birds and D&D, have you ever played an Aarakocra or a Kenku?

So, TADs are basically screws that go into the tissue and bones above and below the teeth in both parts of the jaw. They basically act as anchor points for things like spring systems designed to correct more-extreme tooth alignment and jaw alignment issues. So, yeah, got to see pictures and video of screws being driven into someone's mouth. Didn't pass out, but not my best day.
I feel ya @op . I work for a company that makes software for orthodontic offices, and was show photos by a customer of TADs, or Temporary Anchorage Devices. Details for the less-squeamish in my reply to this.
I think it was Miller and Janson
Marvel's Spider-Man by Insomniac Games. Originally just for PS4 and PS5, it's been released on PC as well
#2 if you like that style of guitar work, check out Rodrigo y Gabriella, as well as Tommy Emmanuel
No worries, I never subscribed to the whole DC vs. Marvel rivalry. If it's a good story, it's a good story
You're very welcome. I'm a big comic fan, especially Marvel stuff, since that was my first fandom as a kid. I actually won a Marvel Super Fan trivia contest. The Marvel Database wiki is fan-maintained, but it's a wealth of info. Enjoy diving into a wiki hole with random characters :)

#10 A phrase I stumbled across recently has stuck with me, and I think it matches the feeling in your comment on it: "It will be okay. It will be different, but it will be okay."
I was wondering if that was how the eyes were made. Impressive
#6 I'm definitely a 4 today
#24 My perspective, coming from my own experiences with depression and anxiety:A) Death could be welcome, simply because it is a release from the world and its travailsB) Potentially upsetting someone brings up anxiety, simply because their reaction is an unknown, and trying to react in the moment brings its own levels of anxietyThat said, still go for the anxiety situation. Death can be a release, but it also removes all options to try and make the world better
Only one I can think of was from 2006, "Sketches of Frank Gehry". I think it's on Netflix, but please don't quote me on that: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446784/
I wear it whenever I get the chance, even just going to the store. I can guarantee that if/when we go back to Ireland, I'm wearing it for that trip, too
It's the Trinity style, but it is the # 31 style, the charcoal grey with thin red stripes. This guy:
We did. We were on a tour that visited a lot of places in Dublin, Cashel, Killarney, and Shannon. My favorite hat that I still wear whenever I can is a wool flatcap that I bought when we visited Muckross House in Killarney :)
A) Way to go, Ireland!B) @op is that the Rock of Cashel in the image? I'm from the US, and my wife an I visited Ireland back in 2017, and the image seems very familar
What I love is that these are Muppet versions of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Jerry Nelson . Jim is the banjo player, Frank plays the upright base, and Jerry played the guitar
