@George-K said in End of the "Jungle Primary" in Alaska?: @Jolly said in End of the "Jungle Primary" in Alaska?: Going back a bit...To me, Alaska doesn't have what we called a Jungle Primary. We had those in Louisiana for years. Everybody ran in the primary, regardless of party. The top two then ran in a run-off election. Alaska has ranked choice, which is different. Sorry.... I think you can argue it either way.

@George-K said in Constantine: Never saw it - any good? I liked it. as one critic called it, "a one-of-a-kind hybrid: a theological noir action film". Reeve's character is a chain smoking cynic and a departure from the source material, fitting his demon hunter persona. The actress who plays Gabriel does a stunning job and the guy who plays Lucifer makes the most of limited screen time. Critics overall give it a "meh", but IMDB rates it a 7.0. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360486/

As an astute poster from this forum board said: Politics. I don't find anything unusual about it.

Quite interesting.

Kind of like those people who live on a cruise ship in real life. https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/live-on-a-cruise-ship/

Are there any chicks on the team?

@Horace said in Nurse Practitioners: If you want to take EQ, then it should first be established how that affects outcomes. That's pretty well-established. If you misinterpret what your patient is telling you because you spent a decade memorizing anatomy at the expense of your social skills, you're going to have a hard time with diagnosis. I'm not saying that anatomy is less important than the social skills. I'm saying that the former is a baseline requirement, and you better have at least a workable version of the latter if it's your job to treat people. Otherwise, go find a research lab.

Possibly. My bet is the Indians.

@Tom-K said in Just because you CAN do something...: Just shows Frankenstein is was and always was a monster. FWIW, I bought a premade TURDucken a couple of years back for Thanksgiving. It was impossible to cook, the stuffing was a slimey mess, the duck was pure rubber, I ended up taking out the chicken and duck and cooking the turkey seperately. Meanwhile the wife and the daughters were --let's say, "unkind." Yeah, if I fixed some monstrosity like that my girls would crucify me.

Stranger than fiction

I don’t think the 2025 Steelers QB is on the roster, but whoever we get should have a good line. The past two drafts they’ve spent 1st rounders on Tackles, drafted the best pure C in the draft this year, and an impressive Guard that should be depth and development. They also signed two great guards in FA, and they have a utility lineman that was undrafted last year that has played all positions except LT this preseason, well. He will be the first man off the bench for any position. And the LT that they are trying to upgrade? Keeps stepping up to the challenge and outplaying the competition. They will have a rough start as they still need to gel and get that unspoken communication down, but by mid season, lookout!

@jon-nyc said in The Weird Guy Speaks: Idiots. Of course tariffs are paid by consumers. True, but they are consumers with jobs. At least in some industries. I think it's time we do not subsidize nations who do not have our best interests in mind and who are actively competing with us for power, both economic and militarily.

@Jolly said in Not a ton of chemistry...: @Doctor-Phibes said in Not a ton of chemistry...: I really enjoy the Leno videos on cars and his garage. It's a bit of a shame about the lack of chemistry, but presumably they were thrown together at very short notice so don't know each other at all. Would have helped if Jay would have imbibed some of James's gin. Apparently he didn't even try coffee until he was in his 60's. Maybe when you inhale that much petroleum you don't need any other stimulus.

It seems they are all playing song a step or two beyond their actual ability/accomplishment. If they just worked on pieces they could play with ease (and layed off the pedal) maybe they'd sound a bit better. I personally liked Miss Wyoming--that Yuja Wang works for me.

@LuFins-Dad said in King's The Long Walk back in movie development: And very few of his books translate to the screen. The Shining and Salem's Lot were done twice. Both of the second iterations were more faithful and less successful. Follow the money. Apt Pupil was OK...
