Benzene traces in sunscreen seem kind of quaint when you live in Houston which is adjacent to all the petrochemical folks in Baytown. -- nm - Qale Jul 15, 08:12 1
- I wonder if all the flooding in Houston caused the city's porous ground to be permeated in all kinds of chemicals. - Mop Jul 15, 08:14

- Narrator: Old money, or just money as it is known, is still in. -- nm - ty97 Jul 15, 07:49 2
  - 100%. Not only in, but the only real option. It's truly amazing that so many people have no concept of how "money" works. -- nm - MDH Jul 15, 08:09 1

OK, fine, I admit it, I just don't "get" Loki. - groiny Jul 15, 07:19 4
- It certainly tracks a little more ‘inside baseball’ than some of their other stuff. - Volnelk Jul 15, 08:18 2
  - yeah, I know who it is, and I was expeting more. -- nm - groiny Jul 15, 08:20 1

- I just sat through some judge show called Hot Bench. 🤦🏻‍♂️👎🏼 -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:04 4
  - is it called that because the judge is a hottie? -- nm - decline Jul 15, 07:08 3
    - There are three judges and two are beautiful women while the other is a gray haired guy. 🤷🏻‍♂️ -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 07:09 1

sci-fi rom-com on a terraformed/colonized Mars w/ Zach Braff? okay! (why is it called "Moonshot"?) -- (link) - mud Jul 15, 06:31 3

  - it's the only way they could remind Sergey it was his turn to bring donuts -- nm - prayformojo Jul 15, 05:28

So, Bo Burnham Inside on netflix is highly recommended, it is a brilliant reflection on these times -- nm - rollo Jul 14, 21:58 6
