hilarious show w/ ties to Chicago:

Carl Kolchak is a reporter for a Chicago newspaper. Through more accident than design he ends up investigating homicides, many of which involve supernatural forces. Ultimately, rather than reporting on the crimes, he solves them.

--

Came across this show recently and it has been a hilarious watch, especially for October! My partner is a journalist and gets quite a kick out of it! If you are an X-Files fan you might be interested, as Chris Carter cited Kolchak as a "tremendous influence" in creating his franchise The X-Files.

It's available via Peacock or the high seas :) Enjoy!

I have a pair of LG tvs that didn’t require any activation. Might wanna take a look at those?

Definitely stay away from Samsung. All my encounters with Samsung have required some type of sign up-activation process.

I’ve seen some users here also recommend checking out monitors as tvs but I’m not well versed in that area.

Maybe fully reset/restore your phone first to wipe any malicious apps?

If anything, use a degoogled OS instead of android.

WICKER PARK NEIGHBORHOOD WALK (www.chicagomushrooms.org)

October 22nd, 2024 at 5pm

Wicker Park Neighborhood Walk (Accessible)

Meet at Churchill Park!

We will be walking around the park and neighborhood searching for fungi in wood-chips, flowerbeds, and on big trees.

This is a walk that will take place on paved paths and is an accessible option for folks with disabilities.

If you are curious about joining our club, all you have to do is show up! We will welcome you, walk with you, and learn together with you. We are all about open-access to education for all.

If you’re shy, quiet, outgoing, anxious, whatever; we have no expectations, and just hope to see you enjoy the nature around us. And hopefully you can learn something along the way!

Our meetups are family friendly, queer friendly, relaxed, and free!

Please keep in mind that we will be stopping frequently during our walk, which may be obnoxious to younger folks. When we find something, we stop to discuss our find. It is best if the group all stays together so everyone can see and hear!

Forays on public land mean harvesting is okay! So if we find anything scientifically significant we can collect it and send it off to have its DNA sequenced.

i love Always Sunny but def shoulda ended a while ago. The Gang Gets New Wheels would have been a great episode as a series finale 🥲

Pi kinda messed me up similar to Jacob’s Ladder 😅😀 worth a watch, imo.

Pi (stylized as π) is a 1998 American conceptual psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky (in his feature directorial debut). Pi was filmed on high-contrast black-and-white reversal film. The title refers to the mathematical constant pi.

The story focuses on a mathematician with an obsession to find underlying complete order in the real world and contrasting two seemingly irreconcilable entities: the imperfect irrationality of humanity and the rigor and regularity of mathematics, specifically number theory. The film explores themes of religion, mysticism, and the relationship of the universe to mathematics.

Wow, this is super insightful! Thanks! Been wondering about waxing chains. We’re getting into our wet season so this is definitely piquing my curiosity once again.

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

Surprisingly, this one is still available on streaming services! You’re not far off tho. Streaming services no longer list the black/brown face episodes.
