The police drama thing was a bore and went on too long.

It was much better when the actual plot got going.

A pretty good episode. Building the horror suspense with the Salem Seven was good.

The unnamed Teen is creepy and weird in his own right.

NRA: The only way to stop a bad golfer with a gun is a good golfer with a gun.

Trump: I’m waiting on the final word from the Russian FSB.

He should have incorporated himself. That way no Texas court would ever convict him of anything.

googles for “how to migrate to Sweden”

Weird. Her face looks quite ethnic to me.

Repressed self hatred much?

Language is much more than words in a dictionary.

Each language carries its original cultural concepts and ways of thinking.

The first couple of weeks on a private tracker are always pretty rough, until you can build up your ul/dl ratio high enough to get some breathing room.

Some sites make things easier on newbs than others.

If possible, look for recent freeleech torrents, especially popular ones, download them even if you aren’t really interested in the content, and seed them 24/7 to build your ul stats…

“Gnomes” was the title of a very successful illustrated book about fanciful lives of gnomes that was published in the late 70s in Dutch, but maintained its popularity through much of the 1980s.

I believe the book was popularized because of a trend of placing small “garden gnome” statues in gardens, but the book was popular unto itself.

This was by design to kickstart the private industry for space development.

NASA could have just kept building and flying space shuttles, but since the retirement of the space shuttle program in 2011, they were renting payload space on Russian rockets to get stuff into orbit.

Getting off of dependence on Russian rockets turned out to be tremendous foresight.

You have at least 10 years from when your tapes were written.

Hope the device you have to read them still works …

Robots do not need to be thanked in Japanese.

Certainly Farrell didn’t help himself IMO. His rose tinted glasses about his entire 6 months in office wore thin. He could have given the late Mayor Lee whose 6 years in office he finished some credit at least.

Peskin came across as a total NIMBY, which is what he is.

Safai and, as I said, Lurie impressed me the most, but neither of them have a realistic chance of winning.

Light and medium roasts are finicky and vary by the bag.

The lighter the roast, the easier it is to brew too long, resulting in astringency.

If a brew is astringent, keep reducing brew time until the astringency goes away.

Spot the difference…

They’re all pretty much the same people.

Yes, that’s pretty much it.

Sparsely populated states like the Dakotas have more votes than their population proportionally should have.

Take North Dakota vs California, for example:

North Dakota has 3 electoral votes, California has 54

North Dakota’s population is about 784K, and California 39 million, or about 50 times North Dakota’s population

If California had proportional electoral representation to ND’s based on their population, it would have 150 electoral votes to ND’s 3.

Also Southern/conservative states mostly take away the right to vote from felons for life, and therefore a large chunk of the African American vote is ineligible because of disproportionate policing of those communities. Among other problems with AAs’ access to their voting rights, like gerrymandering, fewer polling stations, etc.

“A slight edge” isn’t enough.

Harris needs at least a 4 point lead to overcome the built-in Republican advantage in the Electoral College (fuck the EC).

I’m space radio, the real space radio

All the other space radios are imitating

So won’t the real space radio, please stand up

Please stand up, please stand up
