This is where it gets messy for me.
I'm in favor of letting the COVID release prisoners go. It seems unnaturally cruel to send non-violent offenders back to prison for the rest of their sentence if they haven't reoffended.
I would not have released this guy in the first place. "Non-violent" my ass.
True - and I think that drove a lot of his early popularity. His entire head is unfortunate and his name seems like a cruel joke. He embraced nerd things that are relative to my interests. Basic empathy and compassion kick in when you see something like that. From a first impression, he just seemed to have been dealt poor hand in life.
Then he started talking. Damn.
Dude needs a paycheck and apparently, he likes money.
Nice! I went cold turkey before reading the son's work.
I'll just say that it gets weird and there are plans within plans.
Lol, exactly. And I know the answer is 1.5,
Flawed? Sure. A lot was cut for time and the visual effects were, uh, good for the time.
But the sets and costumes influenced most of the adaptations that came later. And Lynch didn't shy away from showing the Navigators. (Like he could resist?)
Almost no one talks about the miniseries from the early 2000s, but I liked it too. I saw it first and it made me curious enough to watch Lynch's version before reading the books. My main question was with how much of the visual style was hard-coded into the source materials.
That sent me into what I call my "Dune spiral months." Each subsequent book made me question details from the earlier ones. So I'd re-read them all on infinite repeat. Yeah, it was like the meme guy with the corkboard and the red strings. Lynch (and Herbert) will do that to a person.
Eventually I realized I had a problem and left my entire collection of Dune books in my building's laundry room. I'm never ~~not~~ going back to that point in my life, but it gave me the skills to explain parts of the new movies to my husband.
"What's happening? I thought the emperor was on the side of that guy?" "OK - how much of this plot point do you want to know about and will it help to know the names and climate of everyone's feudal planets? That will be important later. We can also talk about the Butlerian Jihad if you want, but that might be too much because it really hasn't come up much."
It's a slippery slope to becoming a human Dune Database.
Edit: large freudian slip there
I would think that the water content of the mushroom would make it weird. But if you're not expecting a nice crisp crust, I'm sure it could be good enough. Interesting idea, for sure.
Interesting. I've always heard that they weren't worth foraging. Maybe next season! We usually see tons around here in September/October.
I do like a nice chicken of the woods, and morels (which I can never find in the wild).
All three are pretty easy to ID, and I'd rather be an old mushroom hunter than a bold mushroom hunter.
Oh? Sounds like someone wants my precious bodily fluids. You. Cant. Have them!
I honestly can't let this older one go. But no one seems to be talking about it lately.

Right? I think that gave him a reverse Uno card of some kind. Hmmm. That did seem to smooth over some things.
