Yes, the “We can’t just not look, can we?” scene in Those Old Scientists is hilarious but imagine the Department of Temporal Investigations began to refer to that as the “Boimler Maneuver” or alternatively the “Shy Pisser Maneuver”.
Because that’s very much what it is. It’s an entire room full of people standing in a corner of the room, trying not to look, while you do your business. It just so happens that that business is utilizing methods and technology from the future
It would be very on brand for Boimler that when he finally gets a maneuver named after him it’s also called the “Shy Pisser Maneuver”, forever branding him a shy pee’er regardless of whether he is one or not.
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i went nonverbal, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
The sound design on Dropout is great and I love how they reuse sounds like how the Dirty Laundry anticipation buildup jingle sometimes appears on Dimension 20, but also the most recent episode of Game Changer used the public domain instrumental Maniamaster by Lupus Nocte, which incidentally is the same instrumental that Charlie Slimecicle chose for Jort Storm. So now I can’t watch Game Changer s6e7 “Beat the Buzzer” without singing Jort Storm to myself.

Yeah, I was struggling with the whole vineyard vs orchard thing before I posted this, but then I decided the Boimler family probably already has the infrastructure for drying small fruits out, and it wouldn’t be an insane lateral business move.
I’m imagining a scenario in which Boimler meets Worf and introduces himself as Ensign Boimler, and Worf says he recognizes him and Boims gets excited for a second until Worf explains that he recognizes the name Boimler from the brand of prune juice that comes from Bradward’s family’s vineyard.
FACT: People make resin die.
FACT: Some craftsmen, NOT ALL OF THEM, some craftsmen are just people in their basement putting resin into moulds and selling those babies online with the care and precision of a whiskey licked blacksmith in the wild west.
FACT: It's not unlikely for a lot of those dice to be incorrectly filled, uneven or Weighted.
FACT: If I was to buy a whole bunch of these die with many of them being weighted, some of them would be weighted to low numbers and some to high.
FACT: It is reasonable and likely for me to gravitate towards the die that give me High Numbers and go "oh these are my special dice" "oh this one is blessed by the goddess" and to remove low rolling dice from my line up.
FACT: This is not a phenomenon that occurs as often with metal die.
FACT: If I was a player who staunchly defended my metal dice while everyone else at the table used resin or fanmade dice, if I was a player who stood by my dice through thick or thin, refusing to switch dice out from my roster, if I was a player who had Publicly claimed my loyalty to metal dice on many occasions, I would statistically roll worse.
FACT: Brian Murphy does not have just as good a chance as rolling as any of you.

Y’know what would be crazy? If Bradward “raisin stud” Boimler was as popular as he was on his family’s orchard because as part of inheriting the business, he was taught some kind of impressive looking super raisin picking/sorting/hauling techniques, and he’s incredibly ashamed of it but every time he does it, it makes him look like the John Wick of raisins.
I recently took a trip to San Diego to visit my cousin, so I decided to stop by SDSU campus to take pictures of the field Nick and Manny trained on.
Which brings me to an interesting point. This thing Juice said about getting a new stadium but plans falling through?
Plans did not fall through IRL! The old stadium built at an angle that makes the whole 20020 plot possible? Demolished to build a new stadium.
Pictured:
• The original SDCCU Stadium
• The new Snapdragon Stadium being built
• The finished Snapdragon stadium
Where the old field stood is now a parking lot.
Here is a picture of the exact patch of gravel.
Here’s the new stadium shot from where the old stadium stood.
Here are some panos taken standing where the old field was!
“Jim, I am unfamiliar with these ‘Side-blotched Lizards’ of earth.”
“Why, they’re a species of reptiles in which the males have three different reproductive strategies, each one dominating over one of the other strategies, and losing to the remaining third.”
“Captain?”
“They’re the rock paper scissors lizards, Spock.”
