No worries. I’m always looking for suggestions on scifi to watch! I don’t regret watching it.

Oh lord. I’ve now watched that and it was infuriatingly stupid. Thanks for the recommendation, though.

True. I’m just salty about the inanity of that movie’s ending.

I just watched Life last night, and you know, this seems sensible.

My regular eating chopsticks have a metal core and silicone coating. I love them because they’re heat safe and extra grippy. I have a long metal set for cooking, but I’ve used my silicone ones for cooking, too. I prefer them to wood because they’re easier to clean.

Totally agree. I just tried right hand grip and it feels much weaker to me. It feels like you have much less strength and control over the upper stick.

I just tried all of them, and everything but the standard grip leaves my top stick flailing or with a very weak grip. I can’t imagine picking up anything heavy or very small with anything but standard…

Standard grip. I wasn’t taught, though, I just figured it out – it was the most natural for me.

I sat here and tried all the other grips, and I can’t see how any of them can work. The top stick just flails about for me in all of them. Must have something to do with the way different muscles are used, and my finger muscles are trained for the one grip.

I’m curious to know whether people who are used to a different grip can’t control them in standard grip, too, if that makes sense. I didn’t realise there were so many ways to hold them.

This is almost verbatim the definition of a dystopia, fwiw.

eta: the start of it is nearly a Black Mirror episode

Horses produce roughly 10 gallons of saliva per day!

Excellent points.

You make a good point.

Is a community for each series excessively specific, though?

Some of them have very different fan bases (thinking TOS vs Voyager, or anything vs the obviously superior Enterprise.)

Well that’s stupid. I could infringe IP by carving a gloved mouse on a stone tablet. Are you gonna ban stone tablets? And hands? Jesus, Sheila, get a grip.

Lenny.ca, hopefully. 🤞

I don’t want to figure everything out again.
