My wife and I binged Stranger Things over the weekend, in between diaper changes and feedings, excellent show. Some very cliche moments but overall the acting, action, and story were pretty much perfect.
I think that I saw @AVI-NetworkGuy recommending that show on Facebook last night. I've never heard of it before.
It was released on Friday. It's a homage to the 80's horror and small town movies. Lots of King, Carpenter, and Spielberg influences can be seen throughout. It was really good. I highly recommend it.
Basically a bunch of kids, a bit Goonies-styled, a bit of X-Files and a cop who hates his job
All the 80's cliches rolled into one delightful 8 hour movie. The only one missing was the guy 2 days away from retirement.... holding out for Season two for that.

Explaining things or hula dancing, it's hard to say...
I'm going to believe hula dancing at the train tracks

I'm guessing air piano riff.

@coliver But at least he's right on the track. Literally.

A second ago...
My wife: Honey, that looks like modelmaking superglue?
Me: That is modelmaking superglue....Things are obvious at times.

Trying to turn your wife into a model?

She asked me two days ago for some glue to fix her smartphone case. Not produced anymore and she wants to stick with her HTC One S.

I'm waiting for Windstream to call me back, static on our lines....
Ha. You might be waiting rather a long time.
Don't I know it...
[moderated] windstream...
I think it normally takes a long time for them to call because they don't have working phones.
Hahah.... sad but true
Ditto

Just back from filing for our passport renewals. Only $500 for the family. Would have been $750 to expedite!

Well... Officially, you're American citizens, right? So you don't have to be out in 3 days or anything... right?
-
Yeah. But it's expensive! We didn't expedite. But even so still $500!

Waiting for the kids to go to sleep so i can find my username/password on the sky hub and play with setting up a draytek V130 ready for my EdgeRouterX

$500 for a few passports? Probably HR costs (NSA|FBI|CIA|Homeland Security|.*) is causing this.
And I thought EUR 80 is expensive for our new passports.

I know, seems pretty expensive to me, too. And these are just renewals.

That comes to $125 per passport renewal.
That doesn't seem super expensive, but is it?

Sure does to me. What does it cost in other countries? It was only $90 for a new one last time that I got one. Renewal should be less, they are just re-issuing the same thing again.

The sticker shock stems from the fact that you have too many kids. Less kids = better, cheaper, international travel.

But scott, trying to do basic math is difficult for the current batch of government employees. Getting them to add 2016 + 5 (or 10) is far to difficult.
You have to pay for the fancy adding machines and training on how to use it. And then you have to pay for someone to manually write on the paper that goes into the passport for you...

@DustinB3403 But you also have to pay for their single-use ink pen, the ink, and the paper too.
