    @Jolly said in Justified shooting?: Gotta be something else there, for them to drop the charges. Yeah, no doubt. Quite obviously the video was edited.

    I also disagree somewhat with finding songwriting analogues. Sure, not a bad idea, but they're closer to narrative poems in that the listener has a bigger part to play in connecting the dots. Better still in my opinion would be short films. There should be no fat in the thing. Unless the director wasted your time, every second is either spent advancing the action, or world-building that's essential to understanding the plot. Pay attention especially to how to shift in between these two, and occasionally mix them together. "Love, Death & Robots" on Netflix is as close as you can get to a masterclass on this.

    @George-K said in Bad EAA Fly-In this year: There have been five crashes They are lucky there aren't 10 times that number. With that many aircraft, that close, they are just asking for it.

    I always assume that polls like this exist to add to your dark web profile. It's just one more bit of information to be used by the Chinese AI engine.
