The guy on the right looks like Christopher Walken.

No survivors per WSJ

Whhoooooosh!

Japanese are pretty

Agreed.

“Chaos Theory” … it’s drama/rom-com (definitely not SciFi), released in 2008.
Nice, thoughtful movie, actually; about the choices one made in life, love, fatherhood, randomness in life etc.
It stars Ryan Reynolds before he developed his motormouth style of acting.

@taiwan_girl said in Make Debate Great Again!:

Not sure that a Lincoln-Douglas type of debate would work in todays world.

President Trump would just go off on unrelated tangents and ignore the actual thing he was supposed to debate about. President Biden would go off on unrelated tangents because he forgot what he was supposed to debate about.

Anyway, I though this quote was (unintentionally?) funny

Last time around, Biden and Trump just yelled over one another, and the highlight of the VP debates was a fly landing on Mike Pence’s head.
Surely we can do better. But how?
There’s only one person we want to answer that question: Free Press contributor James Fishback. He runs a high school debate league

This newspaper thinks that is absolute best person the to answer this question? (I am not saying he is not qualified, but I am sure that there are other presidential scholars equally as well qualified.)

Finished it.

Actually a bit of a disappointment. So much extraneous stuff that added little to the story, and was shoehorned into a "Chekhov's pistol" type of setting.

This was good, hard sci-fi that devolved into speculative stuff about multiple, alternate universes. Unexplained FTL travel, and no real resolution.

Such great premises that could have been fleshed out a lot better.

It'll probably continue to be a good TV series, until it gets weird (as the third book did).

I do too. I brined a couple pork chops in a seasoned salt brine all day, then grilled them with a little bbq sauce. They were superb. Made my favorite coleslaw with them. Yum.

@Copper said in Biden's Lies:

His wife is a doctor.

She understands the importance of hydration.

I'm not looking

"Two anti-LGBTQ bills..."

I bet most parents would be more likely to call them child protection bills.

@taiwan_girl said in Bidenomics:

I would ask him to give me his any five indicators of the economy (GDP grow, inflation, stock market, unemployment, etc etc etc) and I would pretty much show him that there was very little to no relationship

You may well be right. But James Carville will disagree, at least when it comes to politics.

Of course, politics might bear no relation to reality.

But in politics, perception is reality.

@Renauda 😳 😂

Agree completely.

Rumor is that Skipper had something to do with it…

Getting diagnoses correct constitutes a very, very large part of the value of doctoring.

Angela Lansbury?

Nope.

Good guess, though. She made over 50 movies.

Perhaps it’s a parody account.
