    The awkward silence after he says, "That's what (SCOTUS) is there for, to follow the law." What a maroon. Wait, I'm still listening to him.... he registered for, applied for, and got into a college and only then did he run the numbers of what it would cost and was surprised. Smart man.

    @Axtremus said in Pro tip for travelers: For quite a while, my usual "airport breakfast" was the egg white avocado thin bagel sandwich. But the shop closed sometime during COVID. :man-shrugging: I like them too. Nice to find something relatively healthy in fast food.

    I think the reason is weight. It is expensive to put the fuel needed for a powered descent into orbit. A parachute is light. Of course the retrieval at sea isn't necessarily cheap. Also the SpaceX booster doesn't achieve orbital speed. I'm not sure, but doesn't the booster speed come close to zero when the booster reaches max altitude? Does it just keep going up until gravity stops it? Or maybe just slows it way down? I guess I could google something, but it is easier to just make it up.

    @Jolly said in The Meeting: Spielberg said it took him ten years to really understand what Ford told him. I can believe it. Ostensibly, he's just talking about the rule of thirds. Ostensibly.

    @LuFins-Dad well, yes. It is with a different "feel" and is quite a bit faster and with what I can only describe as "agitado". Of course the arrangement is different. Her technique is quite flawless. Chet is playing a much more relaxed arrangement. One that I could probably take a reasonable stab at. I have no desire to play it faster than Chet Atkins. lol

    I think we all know which political party likes which myths. Democrats adopted the mask mandates early on and clung to them, many still do.
