Family Guy vs. Simpsons

While many of us continue to social distance, it's been nice finding fun ways to interact at home. One of these activities involves challenging your friends to useless trivia, like this list of quotes that were uttered by either Simpsons or Family Guy characters.

But who said what? That's where you start to play and see who can get answers right or wrong! You may be surprised at not only which answers are right but which one of you gets them correctly!

Save the Post Office

It's absolutely reprehensible that a political party in this country would attempt to dismantle the Post Office itself, and yet that's what the party of privatization has been pushing for years--and now we stand to lose this integral mail delivery system due to the coronavirus and legislation that has only increased pressure on the Post Office.

Blockbuster Game

Over the weekend, my family and I played a new game that we all enjoyed so much we had to play it multiple times. It's called Blockbuster, like the video store, and it's even shaped like a VHS tape. It's a movie trivia game, naturally, but it has some twists that make it playable even if you haven't seen the movies.

In The Indie Know

While I'm a big fan of indie businesses and frequently share them here, I have to say that keeping up with them is a bit... tiring. Too many of them have really terrible websites and product descriptions, and many of them require you to join a Facebook group to "stay in the know" and find out when sales are. Speaking of sales, a lot of them sell out within a few minutes. Others offer preorders that take weeks to arrive.

    Following the success of the hydrogen bomb project to generate huge amounts of energy via fusion reactions, the next obvious question was whether thermonuclear fusion explosions could be scaled down and controlled to the point where they might be able to be used for commercial power generation.
