Ah yes, Lenny Kilmister, the lesser known but very quotable brother of Lemmy Kilmister.

Constantine. 

I know it may not have checked all the boxes for comic fans but it was a great movie with great characters and atmosphere. 

I’ve thought about this several times since its release. Apparently I’m not the only one. Keanu was asked a similar question last year but about his own catalogue and he said the same thing, he wishes there had been a sequel.

A few months after that, I think I read a sequel might be coming.

They may not be hauling them in around my area anymore but it’s only because they still have them from the 90s.

Is Lemmy on a Robocop kick atm?

I just watched the movies again last week for the first time since they came out. I’ve seen at least one Robocop post per day this week but four in the top 30 on All tonight alone.

At first I thought I had a bad case of Baader-Meinhof syndrome, but I feel like there’s another Lemmy thing going on.

Tenacious D did the cover I’m most familiar with.

Reminds me of an oldie:

“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”

I love a good minimalism joke.

Reminds me of this short story from the early days of the internet.

Or maybe “blog post”, before we even called them that.

Susan Crawford wrote on and talked about this (mis)handling of telecoms in the US context years ago, the government letting the companies divide regions up and ensure a lack of competition.

My reading of the situation in Canada for internet and wireless is that it was a historical mix of:

• lacking political will/interest to govern from day one
• a policy of letting the free market run until it’s a major problem
• follow the US lead for anything new
• and support the (then) recently de-regulated incumbent (Bell) to dominate
• give competitive advantages to Canadian companies vs allowing foreign competition even if it means worse outcomes for Canadian consumers (better to protect the Canadian economy from foreign interests than to ensure consumer best interests).

Sorry, he lives in the US now and we don’t want him back.

Although I think it would be quite entertaining if ICE deported him, in a face-eating leopard kind of way.

No major celebrities, I suppose.

Stephen Colbert’s bit was exceptionally well crafted. I recall it being one of the few that Chevy actually reacted well to.

Colbert still said all the true shit on everyone’s mind but wrapped it up nicely in the joke.

Always assumed it was grape juice, specifically Welch’s which was a popular item in the 80s/90s.

Long shot but it could be a sign of iron deficiency. Eating, smelling and licking odd things like paper, erasers, I’ve heard of these associations. I even read about a woman who would spend her lunch hour smelling the concrete in the stairwell. Turned out to be iron deficiency.

You can listen to the tracks, ad-free, get recommendations below the album listing (maybe other ways too), buy DRM-free and support the artists better than any streaming service would be willing to.

If you do go local library and are looking for recommendation algorithm, Apple Music (the app, not the streaming service) sells DRM-free as well and has the Genius function that will group songs based on similar preferences. However, I don’t believe it will pull in recommendations outside your own library. Worth checking.

“Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”

“Invitation to Love”, the soap opera within the show “Twin Peaks”.

A three-ply layered joke. Well done!

“Ow My Balls!” from Idiocracy.

You were both made to laugh and at the same time be the point of the joke for laughing.

I have nasal congestion due to allergies every morning so here’s some advice that might help you.

You can try a Neti pot morning and night. The NeilMed ones at Costco pharmacies are good.

Use distilled water or boil your own for 1-3 minutes depending on the elevation in the area.

Once the packets run out you can measure 1/8 tsp baking soda, 1/8 to 1/4 tsp non-iodized salt (e.g. sea salt).

For prescriptions, Omnaris might work for you too. Gets things moving and doesn’t have the congestive rebound effect that over-the-counter nasal decongestants do.

All the other advice about controlling allergens is on point too. You can try an anti-histamine (e.g. Aerius) for a week to see if your congestion goes away but allergy meds dry you out a bit by design and gum you up so maybe this won’t have the effect you’re seeking.

You can get a sleep study for apnea but I’d say only if you’ve had actual fatigue related symptoms, not just what you’ve described here.

You could get a breath test for your lungs. Maybe there’s mold at your place. That tightness should be enough reason to get checked out, tbh.

Best of luck!

I feel exactly the same. I will never forgive him for that. Doesn’t matter what his party does.

That referendum/confusing survey they did to justify their decision, manufacturing their desired outcome, was exceptionally insulting and wasteful.

I’m only grateful he and his party did this betrayal as soon as they took office vs much later. I feel like it would have hurt more if I had hoped longer than that.

Tenet. I’ve watched it probably four times. Got my sister onto it and I think she’s seen it like seven times now.

Very rewatchable. It can make sense but I’d say it takes you at least two viewings to follow along. Probably three.

I wish there was a sequel but I don’t think that’s Christopher Nolan’s style.

I see other Nolan movies listed here. There’s definitely a theme in them with time, story order and apparently, dead wives?
