    @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.

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

    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......

    @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.
