A real long tweet that never uses the word "Texas"

happy birthday @ashleyturtles!

as of right now the working solution is to just leave the two cords plugged in back there and use them communally until I run into a rage moment where I have to take it down again

yeah everything was secured through the studs, this was a meticulously measured, multi-trip professional contractor job (aka "dad can you help mount a tv?")

The JP is basically on the cusp of becoming the next Terminator, with each unsuccessful reboot followed by a worse reboot.

This is how much room we have to work with, even after adding wood spacers. Absent the spacers, the plug heads would hit the wall, the spacers allow the two cords enough room to not pinch. But it still seems narrow, especially now that you raise the heat part?

The last couple seemed to want to try to do more with the philosophical question of cloning and gene editing beyond dinosaurs, and the practical implications of dinosaurs reintegrating into the global ecosystem, but was unwilling to follow through on either. I haven't seen it yet but the new one is yet another soft reboot that re-restricts things to an island, and the only things I've really seen about it is that it doesn't actually follow through on the base promo concept of the trials and errors of cloning, and that it doesn't really have a raison d'etre beyond an excuse to adapt the raft scene from the original book (I think that was the last leftover setpiece from the original book).

he refused to come back because as much as he wanted to be in star wars, acting by himself speaking to no one in front of a green screen instead of doing his dialogue scene across from Natalie Portman was allegedly the worst experience

they are smushed between the TV and wall now @scoob I think the second one would prevent one plug from covering the second port, assuming it fits between the TV and wall we took the TV down and adjusted slightly and everything is probably fine now, was just incredibly frustrated yesterday afternoon. the Nintendo thing in particular was my fault as i literally never plugged the console power cord back into the wall because I am a raging idiot.
