I watched a movie on Prime last night, with the ads. There was one commercial at the beginning and one about 30% through. Not bad. But as noted above, it'll get worse. I won't watch "freevee" movies, with similar ad content to pre-internet TV movies. (Unwatchable.) Well, the ads are why I stopped watching TV even before streaming was a thing. I'll have to consider whether an extra $3 is worth it for the free prime videos. I mostly watch rentals on Prime anyway.

It’s going nowhere because it’s a good no call. Steratore’ explanation was clumsy and he would like to explain it differently, but the ball was uncatchable to the receiver. It was behind him and he was not going to be able to adjust. That turns it into incidental contact.

The British knew it was there and never attempted to breach it.

I don’t support disturbances in general and certainly not disturbances of any sort that would facilitate cause to invoke the Emergencies Act.

How much did it cost Disney to write that warning? I bet it is measured in man-years. Yes, I know men are bad.

I dunno. Convict him in Texas...

Motive.

True. Not only functioning weapons, but the ME boneyards hold a ton of old Soviet and American hardware. Always wondered how much of that stuff could be reworked.

Goofy.

I only read the conclusion, but it seems like an interesting report. I think that the big problem that seems to be common is lack of manpower, and I think that is related to the fact that the number of young people who would go into the military is decreasing as the US ages. Not sure how to overturn this.

"A hydrofield cuts through my neighborhood Somehow that always just made me feel good I can put a spare bulb in my hand And light up my yard There are luxuries we can't afford But in our house we never get bored 'Cause can dance to the radio station That plays in our teeth"

It’s a good piece, if a bit self-indulgent. I read it last month when it came out.

Thanks George. That helps a little I guess.

@Doctor-Phibes said in 5..6..7..8!: If I'm honest, many of the most humiliating moments of my life have occurred on the dance floor. I have no wish to increase their number. Then, my friend, contra is for you. By outside observers, nothing's lamer. So you're screwed before you even start. You're already at rock bottom. (There's "I wear all black and listen to subversive music from the safety of my Toyota Corolla" IDGAF, and then there's "I do Appalachian line dancing on Friday nights in public" IDGAF. You tell me which one wins.) Also, massive hippie community. If it's your thing, there are any number organic compounds available that can help put some pep in ya step.

Might as well add one more https://lawandcrime.com/crime/man-bit-off-chunk-of-ex-girlfriends-nose-after-learning-she-got-job-at-strip-club-police/ A 34-year-old man in Texas has been accused of disfiguring his ex-girlfriend in a domestic violence incident, allegedly biting off a piece of her nose after learning that she had been working at a local strip club.

He's a very fast thinker with a wider-than-average vocabulary. He solves the problem of having no rhythm whatsoever and he could actually make a serious go at it.

@Axtremus Thanks. I was able to read it. Very cool, but some of them look a bit distracting also.
