I saw one tweet about the 2024 race saying something like "It's fun watching Haley and Pompeo debase themselves all so they can finish 7th in the Iowa caucus"

This came across my feed last night and the rabbit hole I went into was fantastic. I remember it from Blues Brothers 2000.

Not sure that matters if you are the president.

I even watched two movies at once a few weeks ago that way. One of them is a drawn out slow paced deliberate movie with little dialogue. So you gotta be in the right frame of mind. Check out Paris, Texas. Saw it one day as a kid when I stayed home sick. It always stuck with me as a great movie. I’m really getting into the feature on streaming where you click on a movie then do the “you might also like…”.

My wife uses ours a lot. My only problem is the space isn't big enough and I hate cleaning it. The ridges in the plate tears up our scrubber thing. I'm a dinosaur.

I will agree that there's funny business that can occur with the numbers and what they mean. There's some groups that protest Dearborn because of what they perceive as unfair arrest/charging disparities among racial groups. The reason for that is Dearborn and shopping/retail districts on the east and west end. We border Detroit, Inkster, Dearborn Heights. Most of these arrests/charges occur because of things like shoplifting or outstanding warrants when pulled over. I mean... it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you go to Fairlane now there's a certain makeup of demographics and natural forces that say you will always have X number of shoplifting incidents then that's what the numbers will look like. You can't look at the makeup of a city and assume that the crime numbers will just reflect that makeup when so many people visit the city because of the mall and other shopping options. As Chris Rock said.... Fairlane is the mall "White people used to go to". When we go to the mall we go to Twelve Oaks 30 minutes away. It's not because of who is at Fairlane, but rather what is at Fairlane, in terms of stores. There's nothing there for us.

It survived the initial breakup of the orbiter but broke apart on impact. One of the astronaut bodies, Greg Jarvis, was found quite a bit of ways away. NASA has been quiet about the locations of recovery because they didnt want "treasure hunters" looking for things. From reading the books by Fred Haise and John Young I learned how delicate the shuttle was. It was still a prototype after being launched in terms of how you classify aircraft. Haise was responsible for the landing process and Young commanded the first mission. When it comes back to Earth its basically a glider. If you ever watch a video of it's re entry it's remarkable how steep the dive back in was. It broke apart in the disaster not because of explosion itself but from aerodynamic forces from changing it's position when the giant tank it's attached to broke apart. The first shuttle launch was far from a sure thing. Two of the backup air supplies were activated indicating that not everyone died immediately. There was also some changes to the console of the Pilot showing that he or someone else had a chance to react. The netflix doc is infuriating. Managers basically overrode the engineers.

Jan 27 is the anniversary of Apollo 1 and Feb 1 for Columbia. NASA designates the last Thursday of January as their day of remembrance.

Maybe. But we also would be hearing every transgression the victim had in his life as if that justified it. with it being black on black the right wingers can cover the story safely since their viewers can ask themselves “did you see what those blacks did? They never learn.” It’s like a best of both worlds for their media.

Laurence Fishburne was 30 when they filmed that movie. 7 years older than Cuba.

But he didn’t say gangster. Another word that ended in -ER

Fox is all over this and I have to cynically wonder if it’s because the cops are black. That way they can alleviate the racist cop charges. They still have the killer cops to reconcile but this takes away some of the stigma.

I love when there's a tragedy and people say "Regardless of politics".... that means the person disagrees with them and is giving permission for sympathy.

are the others going to apologize for making fun of him?

I can say there's a not insignificant number of people here in Dearborn, while not quite defending him, are suggesting he's being targeted because of his religion and the fact he targeted Jews. They also frame it as a mental health issue. Kind of disappointing.

My guess would be he wants everyday playing time to hone something he's working on and to not sit on a bench, even if it means better food and accommodations after.

well they told us it was so...

Isn’t that also the fault of…. Everyone in this thread? Everyone wants the best rates for their investment. This is how it happens. I’m not saying this to point fingers or blame.

Yes. I did the verdict last week and have about 40 min left on the sting. I’m too old to watch a movie in one sitting. Shaw was great as you say. Five east pieces is another on my list.

One thing I liked was they didn't do that stupid thing like TWD where there's silence then suddenly there's a walker in front of you growling. Like you only hear it if you see it? Hearing the clicking while hiding to make your move is both more realistic and more important scarier.

They do send them but then they see the field and get taken back into the corn, never to be seen again. Finally the cops say "I'm not going there... you know how many guys went and don't come back? Just leave them be."

I bet the NHL the most. It's Sinclair isn't it? Bally's is just the "sponsor" so to speak. Bally's pays Sinclair to brand it Bally's Sports. Sinclair doesn't want you to know it's Sinclair. that's all I will say about that.

DirecTV dropped Newsmax because they insisted that DirecTV pay them. Now some jackhole in Congress wants to hold hearings because they were 'censored'. Republicans want to tell businesses how to operate. I thought they were against that.
