I was going to say - Israel may keep everything quiet. We famously give timelines and ultimatums. Cf, Iraq 91, Iraq 03.

lol

@89th said in A major motion picture announcement…: (he voluntarily left hollywood to be a dad) I remember they called him crazy when he quit his job to have as much unprotected sex with as many women as possible. But who's crazy now.

First class arrangement and interpretation. What TomK said too. Sigh. I also really like Corea’s arrangements of the Scriabin preludes. Especially the E minor

Obviously not the same circuitry as the engines, but here is a video from someone on same plane 2 hours before the doomed flight route, the AC and the electronics were not working in the cabin: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1l9uf27/a_passenger_flew_from_delhi_to_ahmedabad_on_the/

I saw them twice. Once with my wife and once with a girlfriend before I met my wife and I've been married a looooog time.

It would be a good start.

I have to agree with that.

Let the laying pipe jokes commence.

I’ll be in Alaska. Shame. A week later and may have been able to swing it.

I've been to Europe only 3 times but a big takeaway was how tourism-based some city economies were, with Rome being at the top of that memory. Not surprised to see a sea of red in that map. On the flip side, we did travel to the (heel of the Italian boot) Puglia region later that trip to visit a distant family friend and had a great time visiting places like Bari and even smaller places like Polignano a Mare* on the coast, and Ostuni (inland a bit). *Had a dessert that that I convinced myself at the time I would "bring to the states". It's called Granita, and essentially it's shaved italian ice (simple syrup, ice, flavoring) often served with a little warm cream on top. Almost like an icy-ish sorbet with a touch of cream. Compared to most desserts it's lightweight and not too bad for you, and was incredibly delicious and refreshing on a warm day. I still think one day it'll become known/trendy here!

Lots of people choose noble defeats over compromise. It never made sense to me.

Well, depends on what scriptures you read, the god(s) may also have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike powers.

@Horace said in Mildly interesting: @jon-nyc said in Mildly interesting: 73% of all women from every class survived the sinking of the Titanic. Only 19% of men survived. Speaking of paleolithic emotions and medieval institutions. It's no wonder why young men might be looking around and wondering about these sorts of attitudes. Especially when we are harangued about being sexists and patriarchs. Swim, bitch, swim.
