@Jolly I would be curious to know why you think President Reagan was to the right of President Trump

@Jolly I dont know enough about the older Republicans, but my initial thought would be

Bush Jr - Trump to the right
Bush sr. - Trump to the right
Reagan - Trump to the right
Ford - Trump to the right
Nixon - ?? right on some things, left on others, probably slightly to the right overall
Eisenhower - ?? No idea
Hoover (is the next?) - dont know. Would have to study

Trump's policies are not to the right of Reagan, Nixon or 41. I think he is to the right of Eisenhower and Ford. 43? I'm not sure.

The reason I put President Trump to the right of President Reagan was the President Reagan had a much more open world view, while President Trump is much isolation view.

@Jolly Thanks for sharing!!

Alot of people dont know that Taiwan actually has a lot of mountains. Probably 2/3 of the country is mountains. Only the western part is "plains"

Interview with Rick Astley

Seems pretty normal.

Yes, I'd like to be a drummer in a cool rock ‘n’ roll band, of course, but I'm not. And sure, it's nice if anybody thinks, ‘He's actually a real artist, he's a musician.’ But I can appreciate where I am in life and not be bothered about the ‘cool’ thing. I feel pretty lucky to have stumbled into my situation, even though people have said all manner of things about me that weren't particularly nice. I don't really give a shit after all these years, because my life has been really easy because I sang that one song.”

Acoustic Version of his famous song. I remember how popular that song was even in Taiwan.

@George-K said in The Return of Frasier:

I've never seen a single episode of "Frasier," though I enjoy Grammar's serious work.

Seems that there's a reboot in the works:

Paramount+ announced a Frasier reboot series in February 2021. The original sitcom, which aired for 11 seasons from 1993 through 2004, is available to stream on Hulu.

So, some fanboi came up with a trailer, with a decidedly different take.

Reminds me of seeing this

(which I thought was one of the most scary movie i have see)

@Jolly Good question. I think so, but not really sure.

I will ask you this. How do you think President Trumps policies are vs. previous Republican presidents? I think you have a pretty good historical mind and would have a good idea

To the left or right of:

Bush jr.?
Bush sr.?
Reagan?
Ford?
Nixon?
Eisenhower?
etc

If you believe that he is to the right of them all, then yes, probably President Trump is too far right.

Death ceremonies are very interesting across the world.

For example, the Zoroastrians in India.

Towers of Silence are large circular structures made out of stone. They are a cornerstone of burial practices in the Zoroastrian religion. Zoroastrians leave the deceased’s remains in the tower for vultures to consume. Believers see this as the purest and safest method of disposal for both the community and nature.

Impressive. I have very little talent in drawing and really appreciate those that do. Whish I could draw like that.

That is just crazy. Not very practical, but very cool anyway!
