Thinking of going with my 10 year old. He likes space stuff and sciency things.
Would he be too young for this?

lost faith in PJ with this shite after The Hobbit trilogy. Somwhow the CGI in those movies looked worse on screen than the original trilogy. We live in an age where live action and special effects are dead, and film is worse off for it. Technology is failing in this area.
There’s not good explanation for that.
He wasn’t given the time to develop the Hobbit properly. He had 3 years to prepare for LotR trilogy. Compare that to 1 year for the Hobitt trilogy. Also because he was told to stretch it out into a trilogy to make more money. These should have been condensed to one longer film. There’s a well done fan-made cut out there that does just this.
That said, the time he did have was devoted to getting the important scenes right (Bilbo/Gollim in the depths, Mirkwood, Smaug, etc).

I’m currently introducing my wife to BSG. We’ve watched the miniseries and a couple episodes from season 1 and I think she’s engaged.
This how it went down?
Not long before she starts watching ahead of you while you’re at work. I had to invoke screen time limits.
In all seriousness though, it’s so much fun to watch together and be we enjoyed it. I just smh when people sneer at BSG as some nerdy sci fi show.

Oh boy… planning on camping at the boondocks spot on the road that heads to Wall. I read it can be windy but I’m not sure we’re prepared for the heat lol.

That Odoland grate, it comes in two sizes. Which of those two did you get (I’m assuming by larger size you meant the second one pictured over the fire).

Nostalgia - its delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek nostalgia literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.

If you like it keep going to Chick Fil A. If you don’t, stop going there.

10K mile two and a half month hiking and camping road trip out west
Where did you go? We’re about to go on a 2 week road trip out west… Yellowstone to Bighorn to Badlands, then down through the tallgrass prairie of NE and Flint Hills of KS. Will be a mix of dispersed camping included.
What are those individual grilling grates and what all did you eat? What size are they?

Felt nice voting against Scalise but I know it won’t matter.
I remember coming back from a road trip out west and stopping at the I-20 center after crossing over from TX. It was such a dilapidated dump.
Every time we return from a vacation it’s downright depressing coming back.

Got an order set for market open. If it dips closer to 30 I’ll buy more.
I’m already in this but looking to add. At what point is it too late to add shares?

This was the first stock I heavily (for me) invested in. Certainly a confidence builder! Thanks BB!

I have a bunch of Indian head pennies. Definitely have a different feel to them since made of actual copper.

Let’s dispel with this fiction that Rubio doesn’t know what he’s doing. Rubio knows exactly what he’s doing.
