    Yeah, but it's not your job to project your character's personality to an audience., so it's ok to have RBF. I'm not familiar with Larson's work before Marvel, but it seems like if that IS your job, you should be able to do it in spite of bad writing, bad directing, etc. Ewan McGregor, for example, projected his way through much, much worse dialogue and crude CGI/green screening requirements in the Star Wars prequels. He had to act alone, on an empty soundstage, with a tennis ball tied to a stick. The tennis ball had a mark on it to show where your eye line was supposed to be. You're supposed to be Obi Wan Kenobi....to a stick. If he can do that, I'm not cutting Larson any slack 20 years later.

    New frontiers in perimeter defense for South Korea, as presidential complex security finds a present from the Norks on the roof. "*Citadel 3 to Citadel Actual, I need sawdust and a scraper at roof access sector 7."* It's been quite a month for the reputations of presidential security services around the world. Which one would you MOST or LEAST want to join, even if you could write your own ticket?

    I was just standing at my counter, making pancakes, and it occurred to me: butter should be kept in the fridge or at least sealed up tightly in some sort of insulated container, because otherwise, you will get ants in your butter. Counter butter appears watery, as the heat causes the fats to separate from the water and protein in the butter. [@fjord_monkey@hilariouschaos.com](https://hilariouschaos.com/u/fjord_monkey) you post quality Scandinavian content and that offends me. You probably leave your butter OUT.

    Forgive me, I can't post any images directly from Firefox/Android version of Lemmy and don't know htf to use image hosting yet. I want all of the Best Brains to come together for a moment of reflection. I just saw the episode of TOS in which Kirk, Spock and McCoy put their lives on the line against T'Pring the Spicy Senorita in a game of Horny Death Chess. Please, reflect: who would choose Stonn over Spock? Real estate and post code swagger worth having to "consort" with someone who is not your equal socially, aesthetically or intellectually? Was Stonn playing the long game to move up the social ladder? Was there a "Downton"-esque world of servants and farmers back on Spock's estates, just praying that T'Pring didn't take over The Manor?

    I don't even live in Oklahoma any more and only lived in Norman very briefly in the oughts. Therefore, I am the point man on this. Any one who misses making fun of Oklahoma and maybe even misses the state just a little bit, this one's for you. You are not alone. Remember to call your grandma or grandma-adjacent today. It's okay to admit that you might want to trade your original in for a cuddlier, less judgemental update. Maybe it wasn't fresh cookies and mumus on the lanai [or seriously, emotional availability] or other things you needed. The beauty of this life God has given us is that we can adopt grandma-adjacents, old people who inspire us, into our lives any time we like. You can take yours to the Wallsmart or the hair salon and mock people together. The world is wide and there are old people out there who will happily hang out on the lanai with you. Holy Advent and Merry Christmas, keep it between the mayonnaise and the mustard, i.e., keep moving/don't give up. You were born for hope, not for despair. We still have Bill Murray.

    Fascinating and based article from Scientific American on why it will be difficult to conceive babies in space and carry a pregnancy successfully. I didn't know that International Space Station astronauts lose that much bone density from microgravity during their stay. For an adult in his or her thirties or forties, that might be too much mineral to get back, even with ideal health and reconditioning regimens after getting home. Women with osteoporosis have prescription drugs they can take to slow down this type of mineral loss, do we even know how those work in microgravity?

    There's much more to bulk shopping for staples than the big box stores. EZ Prepping has a searchable directory of stores and markets, so you can shop like a stone cold Mennonite saver. Things I've noticed about shopping at Amish or Mennonite stores: 1.) Many are not listed online, you have to find them in the local paper or word of mouth. That's how I found "Sunny Gardens" in Lamar, MO. 2.) Call before you go, as many of them change their hours based on seasons and stock availability. These are mostly family-run, small places. If Grandma is at her heart appointment and can't man the cash register, then that's it for the day. 3.) Bring your own shopping bags. 4.) Less packaging on everything. They buy in bulk and re-sell most items in smaller packaging labeled and sold by weight. 5.) Take your time shopping, they're also selling chickens, nursery stock and a bunch of other stuff, they'll get to you when they can. Again, family-run. 6.) Bring cash, these are low volume places and the credit card transaction fees, IF they take credit cards, might be punitive for the owners. 7.) There might be a minimum charge to use a debit or credit card. 8.) There probably won't be a public bathroom. 9.) You will meet cool people who know how to raise their own food. The ladies at Sunny Gardens didn't mind being asked about hyperlocal gardening stuff- climate, planting dates, soil, what works and what doesn't. Asking "what is worth my time to grow around here?" can unlock a wealth of experience and information. Don't just go by books, Rodale Press doesn't know shit about what to grow in Missouri or Kansas and I'm calling them out, right here, right now. Rodale, you are not the be all and end all. There are neatly dressed old ladies in kerchiefs who will tell you how it is.
