    See this clip below: Link to video Of the two jobs shown in this clip, half is taken by an immigrant, but most of the work is done by the immigrant, most of the energy is supplied by the immigrant, yet the immigrant is the one you feel like you want to punch in the face anyway.

    @George-K said in At the movies.: Dolby > IMAX? I looked at the venue where I saw Dune in the IMAX. I circled the seat I had. By comparison, the Dolby theater seems a bit smaller.

    I posted in the "Podcast" thread about a recent podcast called "Agent of Betrayal" about Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent who passed secrets to USSR/Russia for many many years. Did it for money for sure. Actually just recently died while in prison in teh US "Supermax" prison on Colorado.

    I can’t imagine the surgery to repair and subsequent amount of physio rehab this person will require. Am sure this qualifies as a life altering injury.

    @jon-nyc said in On Islamic anti-semitism: He may well be the closest we have to a new Hitchens. Funny you should say that. I was thinking it as well. He’s just as insightful on these issues, but not as acerbic.

    @jon-nyc said in Insurance - I'm an idiot.: They know people get complacent and most just suck up the price increase. Especially if they procrastinate paying the bill and don’t have time to shop around. That's exactly my situation. I was lazy... ETA - last year, when I called my Allstate agent, they said the increase in price is industry-wide. They lied.
