    @blondie We still do that too. I’m just commenting on how much information people leave online!

    Add in the weight of the batteries, which unlike fuel stays the same. Not saying it’s a bad idea, I’m just not an early adopter.

    Paul cited a letter (email?) and quoted their denial. Regardless of what Power claims, he claims to have the receipt on their denial. He claims it’s not classified. If that’s the case perhaps I should file a FOIA request LOL.

    Preach. Chaps my ass too. I've volunteered for the local food bank here and we support them financially as well. I just don't think anyone should go hungry in this country. But I also think people should have integrity, so....

    @jon-nyc said in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Inc. v Ronald D. DeSantis: @Copper said in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Inc. v Ronald D. DeSantis: @jon-nyc said in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Inc. v Ronald D. DeSantis: There is no room for disagreement cute Normally the disagreement would focus on motive and the cause-and-effect nature of Disney’s speech and the state’s action. But rather helpfully for Disney, DeSantis and the legislature have been proudly bragging about that connection to whomever will listen. Everybody knows DeSantis is smiting an ideology. As the culture war becomes indistinguishable from politics, this is how it's done.

    I do not. Have been to Starbucks once since 2019. Got a mocha to mask the burnt coffee taste. It was like burnt hot chocolate. lol

    There is no such thing as a squinty-eyed framing of Republicans as authoritarian, autocratic, or religious fundamentalist, which doesn't apply easily to woke ideology.

    Worry not, a genetically manipulated raccoon can probably live many years longer.

    See them a lot up here especially late autumn. But they can appear any season. Have seen some spectacular shows over the years a couple not unlike that photo from Alaska.

    @George-K said in Hey SciFi guys: @Aqua-Letifer said in Hey SciFi guys: So did the book. Everything the most recent movie covered was slow-as-hell reading. But that was the point. Herbert planted the suspense early on, so the quiet development only adds to that. Dune ain't Star Wars. Bingo... I've read "Dune" three times, the first time in the early 1980s. It's slow as hell, until it's not. But, I really had a hard time with the later sequels. Too much mysticism and weirdo crap. As someone who enjoys "hard" sci-fi, I've enjoyed the prequels written by Brian Herbert and Anderson. No question, they're much more "pop-corner" than Franks' story. But they're not as pop-corney as Star Wars, and they do a credible (if not always great) job of setting the stage for what Frank envisioned: The Bene Gesiret, The Spacing Guild, the backstory of Atreides and Harkonnen. I love Dune. Right now, I'm reading the graphic novel version Brian Herbert did on the original book. Tons of fun.
