*Disheveled.

The rest, with attention, can be corrected yourselfly for clarificarity.

A-fucking-men.

It's not an entire show, but your opening sentence perfectly describes the premise of one episode of the original The Twilight Zone, "Five Characters In Search Of An Exit" (S3.E14, for anyone who wants to look it up). The synopsis from IMDB:

An Army major awakens in a small room with no idea of who he is or how he got there. He finds four other people in the same room, and they all begin to question how they each arrived there, and more importantly, how to escape.

The mounting tension and mystery of this short story made a lasting impression on a very young me that remained long after I'd forgotten how the episode ends, with its inevitable TZ twist.

Years ago I bought the entire show-run on DVD. I remembered only scattered images and the leftover feeling of unease from this episode, little more than is outlined in the synopsis above, and as I had forgotten its overall story, I was looking forward to seeing it as if anew. I didn't even know the name of the episode, and avoided looking up any information beforehand -- even so much as where it occurred in the order of episodes -- so that as I made my way through the show's 5-year run I could come upon it unsuspecting, to savour its re-discovery spoiler-free.

Possibly the Marketing checkbox is the Canadian version of this? I've got that checkbox turned off.

Homemade pesto spooned into a plastic film-lined ice cube tray. Once frozen, pop out the cubes, wrap each tightly and store in a freezer bag or -- better still -- vacuum seal them.

I don't have a mechanical vacuum sealer; I usually zip-bag them and suck out as much air as possible with a straw.

Even not vacuumed, they seem to last forever as long as they're not allowed to dry out. The high olive oil content may account for that.

Each cube does me enough for two pasta servings.

Title of the linked YouTube video is "The Birth of Gated Reverb Drums in the 1980s". Video was very interesting. Clickbaity thread title is trash.

Also,

• looks like his right foot has just stumbled and caught on the base of the table, which is starting to tip over.

This silhouette is an image captured of the moment just before a glorious tripping disaster, and a comped service.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

It's not a nitpick to know the meaning of the words we use, and how to use them. [email protected] and the arstechnica editors should know better.
