    Saw it years ago (with subtitles of course ). It is supposedly the most influential foreign movie of all time. The plot of The Magnificent Seven is a pretty close copy.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvv2w2e69go Wreck hunters have found the ship on which the famous polar explorer Ernest Shackleton made his final voyage. The vessel, called "Quest", has been located on the seafloor off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Shackleton suffered a fatal heart attack on board on 5 January 1922 while trying to reach the Antarctic. And although Quest continued in service until it sank in 1962, the earlier link with the explorer gives it great historic significance.

    Not quite, but President Carter has almost been an ex-President longer than he was president when elected. (He was 52 when elected).

    @George-K said in Southern Baptist Church - on women pastors and IVF: @Axtremus said in Southern Baptist Church - on women pastors and IVF: The Southern Baptists voted to: Oppose IVF Reject a tighter ban on women in pastoral posts Their religion, their choice. THat's how it works, isn't it? He also forgot to mention that SBC churches have a lot of autonomy.

I hate to think what he'll do to your corporeal remains when he discovers the shortfall. Not an issue. My corpse will go to the University’s Faculty of Medicine for teaching purposes. Zero funeral costs. No funeral, no memorial. No undertaker.

    https://futurism.com/the-byte/boeing-starliner-stuck-space-station-more-leaks After years of delays and technical problems, Boeing's Starliner finally made it to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on board last week. But when exactly it'll be able to undock and deliver its crew of two back to the surface remains to be seen. Teams have discovered an astonishing five different helium leaks so far, each representing yet another thorn in the spacecraft's already cursed development. The gas is "used in spacecraft thruster systems to allow the thrusters to fire" while navigating through space, according to Boeing. NASA is giving Boeing another four days, extending Wilmore and Williams' mission onboard the ISS from June 14 to no earlier than June 18, though it's unclear whether the leaks are to blame for the delay. Boeing is still "assessing what impacts, if any, five small leaks in the service module helium manifolds would have on the remainder of the mission," according to an update.

    Seems like an abuse of the ballot system. Also they should realize not every secretary or janitor is going to vote to pay doctors more money.
