Oh yeah. It was a mess and hot as balls and we shot at Avondale. All those shipping containers, we had to special order. They were so crazy expensive because they had to be specific colors.
Shooting didn't go well, one day when we got to work at 6am, they were still shooting. We were locked out of the construction warehouse and basically standing around waiting. They were supposed to wrap at 3am and wrapped at 8am.
The production designer and art director has different visions apparently.
Edit: I forgot, we built that boat. It's not really in the water, it was at Avondale. I have photos that after it's released I can share.
I tried to go see Comet Neowise. I only have another 5 or 6 days, and it won't be back for 6,800 years. My historical math sucks, but it seems like that's around 4800 BC/BCE. That's around the neolithic revolution. We learned to farm and raise pigs and shit on a more species-wide basis. It's pretty much near the end of the stone age and the dawning of a more modern era. It wasn't quite the copper or bronze age yet. It's a couple thousand years before Abraham. So I got to Lake Pontchartrain about 20 minutes before sunset, figuring that would be get pretty dark. But then the street lights came on. We could easily see the Big Dipper, so you had to look below and slightly to the right of it. Lights were too bright. We hustled all the way to the nature trails in City Park and walked through about 1/4 mile in the dark to get to the couple hundred foot "mountain" in there. But you couldn't see through the trees. So we hiked through more trails and got to one of the darkest spots in the park which has no lights and is a bird viewing area and walking track. There was the Big Dipper, but nothing was below to its right but hazy light from the city. I let my eyes adjust until I could see several more stars. I didn't want to miss it, because I was pondering all that shit above while I was waiting to see it. I was thinking about the last motherfuckers to see it and whether they were scared, had started believing comets are harbingers of doom and shit yet or if they were just tripping out on a visitor in the skies.
Anyway
I probably needed to have gone to the country to see it or had a telescope or binoculars due to light pollution.

We just got back from taking the kids out to see it. It took a couple of attempts to find a good spot but the kids had a good time.

I have a fancy telescope and am half a block from the levee. Would I be able to see it like that?

It's really bright. Depending on the light pollution near you you might not be able to see the tail? Then again, we were just using our eyes.
Dispatch: All right, your current location? Wiggum: Oh, uh, I'm, er, I'm on a road. Uh, looks to be asphalt...oh, geez, trees, shrubs...er, I'm directly under the earth's sun...now!
I thought postjack 's location history heatmap was cool so I did one too.
-I live in North Florida and have family in South Florida and the keys. -The faint blue line across the country is the road trip me and my partner took when she moved back from California after an internship. -The red dot on California central coast is where she lived during that and I spent a couple weeks there. -I have family on east coast of Texas (Galveston) -Spent 2 nights in Nashville last year at the end of road trip + Bonnaroo a couple times -Family in Virginia and have probably spent a week or two there -There was also a blue dot in Europe from a trip I took last year, but when zoomed out that far it makes all of the USA red.
Overall, pretty cool stuff! I could've remembered all of these travels on my own, but still really fun to see it visualized!

I turned off the google tracking thing the minute I found out about it. I found it really creepy when it was telling me about the last time I went a specific route and other shit. Google retains so much data it's scary. When I stumbled upon the fact that they had ALL of my voice searches from years back and I could play it back asking "Hey Google...who played so-and-so in The WIre?" and other dumb questions I got really weirded out.

I feel this. It is incredible and disturbing how much privacy has been dissolved by technology and policy in the last 25-30 years. The 1984-esque "Big Brother" is kind of already upon us. Not that we are necessarily constantly being monitored, but if a governmental agency or someone with enough money wanted to tap in, they could find out everything about you in a matter of minutes.

It’s too hot, sore arm, hair in my mouth, can’t see the tv
It's all worth it, IMO.
thejeremy agrees, I don't. He mostly likes to cuddle to go to sleep. So I'll do that but, 90% of the times I'm rolling over and pushing him off me about 15 mins later.
Only thing worse than hair in your mouth is hair in your food.
Would you rather have someone else's eyelash in your food or someone else's eyelash in your eye
Probably in my eye, though I don’t even like digging my own out of my eye. They have those sharp fucking points. But the idea of long hairs in my mashed potatoes is upsetting.
I like short-term spooning-cuddling but after that it's time for some space. For longer cuddles I find it works to have one person sitting up and the other person resting their head in the other's lap. Both arms are free for the person sitting up, there's built-in pillow for the person laying down, it's not uncomfortably warm and two blankets can be used for individual temperature regulation, both people can watch TV or w/e. It's a good setup.

Yeah but we are in very different places in our lives. We talked for a couple hours the other night and it was really nice. If worse comes to worse we live in different cities and I save a lot of gas money to not see her ever again
