  • I haven’t tried that particular model, but bread machines are, indeed, great. Instead of buying large loaves (which go bad in a few days) when I need bread I can just buy flour (which keeps for ages) and bake my own whenever I need it. The process of loading up the ingredients takes a few minutes but beyond that you can just hit a button and let it do its thing, and the resulting bread tastes better than what you’d get from a store.













  • I agree with you wrt Batman Returns and Batman Forever. Batman and Robin was just plain bad, though. It was a comedy that wasn’t funny.

    But yeah, Batman fundamentally can’t exist in the real world. Other superheroes have an acknowledged break from reality that allows them to work (“It’s like the real world except there’s this alien who’s physiology allows him to leap tall buildings in a single bound,” “It’s like the real world except a 1 in 10^1,000,000 radiation accident gave a kid spider-powers”, etc.) but Batman doesn’t have this. We’re expected to believe that Batman became a superhero just because he really wanted to be one. The only way Batman makes sense is if the world he lives in is fundamentally off-kilter.
