I sent my MacBook to Apple for a repair. The good news: Fully covered, got it back in a week, feels brand new. The bad news: they wiped it, and when I installed the backup, I was now running Tahoe. Noooooo…… It’s fine.
Efforts like this might stitch the splintered indie journalism world back together after the corporate social media collapse. Maybe we can revive the dying web while we’re at it

@siracusa @caseyliss After rewatching … We didn’t use an entire slice of bread, just a small piece. And the corn was piping hot so the butter melted onto it. They sell little corn dishes now that do the job better.
@siracusa @caseyliss Maybe the scene was about the margarine. That was a new health craze
@siracusa @caseyliss I love War Games. 1) Re buttering corn on the cob with bread. In my 1970s upstate NY childhood, that’s how we did it. It seemed commonplace (a kid thing?) but I don’t know why you’d put it in a movie. 2) My late father was inside Cheyenne Mountain for his Air Force job in the 1960s. He said the movie set was flashier than the real thing but many aspects were accurate. 3) Many teachers of that era (not all) were mean as hell. Totally believable
