When I am asked for one thing I might say to anxious Drew if I could go back in time and talk to him, it would probably be this. “Listen brother, everything is temporary. You just have to allow it to be.” This is one of those core recovery principles that spills over into life too. Everything in the universe is transient and temporary. This includes the physical and/or emotional state of any person.

床头柜英语怎么说？ 热爱直译的朋友答对了——bedside cabinet, bedside table都对。但今天我们要讲的是床头柜的另一种说法，稍不注意就意思大变了。 A bedside cabinet, or night table, bedside table, or daystand, is a small table or cabinet designed to stand beside a bed or elsewhere in a bedroom. 以上是床头柜的四种说法，要注意的是下面这个名字：nightstand，注意night和stand是连在一起的，是一个词。 以上床头柜的五种说法都很常用，说不上哪个最常见。沃尔玛和宜家官网上大多写的是nightstand. 你要留意的是在说“一个床头柜”时，应该说a nightstand. 千万别说one night stand，因为one-night stand是一夜情的意思。 【重复】一个床头柜是a nightstand，一个词。一夜情是one-night stand，one和night中间通常有连字符，和stand是分开的两个词。 看到一个对“一夜情“英语解释，觉得很经典:) Hooking up with someone for one night of sex with no strings attached and hoping to never see them again. It is important not to exchange any personal info with them so they can't track you down and stalk you later.

On September 29, 2021, the Nintendo 64 will turn 25 years old in North America. Throughout the month of September, I’ll be covering the console, its games, its innovations, and its legacy.

Sucker Punch is a well-known video game developer now, but back in the late-90s, they were newly formed, and without a game to their name. The studio that would go on to create the Sly Cooper and Infamous franchises was quietly working on the game that would become their first one, and while they knew it was going to be a Nintendo 64 game, other than that, everything was up in the air.

Back when the very first GTA was in development, the studio making the game was known as DMA Design Limited.

The controls that are easy to pick up, the music that is extremely of its time but in a good way, the arcade feel to it all that has kept these now decades-old wrestling games in such high esteem against the more modern, “realistic” wrestling games that have dominated the market since.

It’s funny to think about how long it took Marvel to figure out how to make an R-rated movie successful (again) during the 2010s, while they've already had one made 18 years before Deadpool. Before the comic book film boom, there was no recipe or path to follow when it came to explicit superheroes, which gave director Stephen Norrington and screenwriter David S. Goyer a much-welcome freedom to go crazy in 1998.

I do this thing every year where I convince myself that I am going to be very, very productive over the holidays. I schedule out my workload with the assumption that my brain is going to kick into high gear after Christmas and I’m going to push ahead on all fronts, and then I’ll be sitting easy in January. And then, predictably, every January is a garbage fire. This year was no different.

Zero Dark Thirty, while a masterpiece, is an oddity to me. It should be a chest thumping, beer-bashing moment of American pride. I mean, we got revenge on Usama Bin Laden, the guy who killed 3,000 people in cold blood. Instead the movie ends with Maya crying in an airplane, not able to tell the pilot where she wants to go. It also shows in brutal detail the tactics used to glean information from detainees.

Although 2 Chronicles 27 is only nine verses long, the lessons we can learn from King Jotham are not nearly as brief as you might think. After considering some background information on Jotham, we will briefly overview his reign and then consider three lessons we can learn from Jotham today. Jotham’s grandfather – Amaziah – reigned for 29 years. He did what was right in God’s sight, “but not with a loyal heart” (2 Chronicles 25:2).
