Last time I saw Pedro Pascal, he was doing an admirable job at Hollywood Gun Fu in “Kingsman”.
But apparently he’s in the new HBO post-apocalypse series “The Last Of Us”. I’m familiar with the game a bit, and its a storyline I can get into. Now that Walking Dead is history, I need a good post-apocalyptic fantasyworld to climb into.
Any of you guys been watching this series and wanna share your opinion on it? I know it’s only three episodes old, but I’ve been seeing some good reviews on it.
Continuing the cleanup-slash-organizing-slash-evaluation episode I referred to earlier, it’s interesting to see what has and has not aged well over the course of..hmm..twenty years in some cases.
As I mentioned, the older MagLites, while still having some utility, are far inferior to the more modern LED and CR123 flashlights that have twice (or more) the brightness, five times the run time, one third the size, and twice the price. Ignoring the handiness of a 3-cell D-battery MagLite for rearranging someones dental work, they don’t do anything that isn’t done more efficiently and compactly by a modern LED pocket light.
Things like rice and wheat have stored just fine in 15-gallon ‘blue barrels’. The #10 cans from the LDS cannery, which are between 10-15 years old, have held up just fine. Same for the oatmeal that I rotated through a couple years back. Some stuff keeps well, some stuff does not.
Notoriously, Duracell batteries tend to poop the bed after a surprisingly short amount of time. I have learned the hard way to NOT leave them in any device that is going into storage.
So, the cleanup continues….curious to see what sort of “Hey, I forgot about those” turn up.
