One of the best shows in its genre of all time, though it's not clear to me why it is trending all of a sudden.
dark (2017) your crown as netflix’s best original series about supernatural threats happening in a small town and teenagers and adults having to put the pieces together as they discover a hole in the fabric of their reality hasn’t tilted in the slightest

Look, I know it sounds complicated at first, but actually it's kind of like a burrito if you think about it.
I went to look up the math concept a friend was working on on Wikipedia. It was remarkable how you could read the whole article, and at the end still not have the slightest clue what the concept was. Why is math Wikipedia like this?

This kind of stuff annoys me. Like, I get what she is saying and I'm sure everyone wishes the government could just shuffle around some money and make it work, but that just doesn't make sense in this economy. Salami is up to like $12 a lb.

Sucks to see my poker heroes @rampagepoker and @RealKidPoker posting losing years. On the plus side, though, Dustin "Da Closer" had a solid 2023; up $450k! Right on, man!!!
