@mik said in Superman sings the hits in Atlanta: In country music a whole lot of the top artists are playing covers, at least in that they didn't write the songs. I love that they're still doing it, though. It makes the world better. Photography's similar. It's the visual equivalent of guitarists: not that special of a thing anymore, and not an aspiration that most kids currently share. But there's even more shit out there that's amazing than there used to be. I follow one guy who works a campsite in the desert out west somewhere. He takes absolutely amazing landscapes as he checks the site each day. He'll never be famous but who cares. John Free completed a 30-year photo project documenting railroad tramps in Los Angeles. Over the years, he moved his body shop closer to the rail yards to make this easier for him. He's been hired by all the magazines you've ever heard of to do photojournalism but he still kept his auto body business, and no one's ever heard of him. He finally put a book together, and you bet your ass I bought it. Who in the hell cares whether or not people become famous. That's not the point. I'm glad that in the midst of all the silly shit going on out there, plenty of people still care about trying to make and do amazing things.

@lufins-dad said in Dune 2021: Go back and read the book again first, then go see the movie? Or watch the movie and then read the book? I've read it 3 times, most recently about a year ago, so it's pretty fresh in my mind. However, I don't think you'd miss much by seeing the movie first. There are subtle differences, and things the movie skips (Gurney's suspicions of Jessica), but overall, it's a really good adaptation. See the movie first, then read the book to flesh it out, and then wait two years for the finale.

I think I posted something about this a few years ago. I can certainly see applications for business flight.

These are library books, in school libraries.

Probably disgruntled parents...

True. Great grandpa ate at least one every morning. It finally killed him at 93.

Impressive.

He ain't half-bad.

Looks as if they have a photo of the guy, so it is only a question of time until his identity is revealed. Reports are he punched the attendant twice in the face. The pilot asked for a couple of able bodied folks to come to the front of the plane for assistance. Kind of wish Brock Lesnar was on the plane.

If you see it every day you finally get the point where you don't even notice it. The little red light can get boring after a while, too......

Lol!!!

Cool guitar.

Note to self: print out and bring google paper maps for Sunday trip. GPS probably won't know where I am.

@jolly said in FWIW: There's got to be a better way. You can bet your ass if democrats thought mail-in ballots gave repubs an advantage, they would be pissing all over themselves to clean it up. Maybe I need to start following USPS carriers around and visiting nursing homes. I also have a printer that can crank out 200 ballots...er...um... I mean pages a minute.
