Now it's hard to know which platform any given movie is on.

I use Plex. It's a "free"--with ads streaming service. I don't think I ever watched a movie on the service but if you plug in the name of a movie you want to watch in its search engine it will tell you on what streaming service (if any) you can find it along with the year it was made, who was in it and a brief description. If there are more than one version of the movie it gives you them all (I recently looked up "Hamlet" and there were 30 versions.) It's a pretty handy feature.

Only 42 years separate the first solo plane going across the Atlantic non stop until man landed on the moon.

And it's bee 53 years since man last walked on the moon.

I just finished reading Hamlet--an amazing play. Almost every other sentence is a famous quote people use all the time. Now I'm reading (or will be when the book arrives):

François Mauriac won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1952.

@Renauda said in Clocks go back tonight….:

Daylight savings time makes little to no sense for people who live this far north.

I never thought of that! Yea, I guess that makes sense. Here in Florida it means the sun sets at about 9PM. Waaaaayyyy too much sun in the evening.

My guess andrea-b is some sort of bot or AI something or other. And as far as Shat goes for a guy that can't act he has had a fabulous career as an actor. Good for him.

Taiwan Girl:
Thank you. It's your and Bach's and other peoples first hand, real life, real world understanding of the political situations that happen around the world that make TNCR the cool place that it is. You are much appreciated.

Jon, where are you taking your kid for Spring Break? (And why are you on your kid's spring break?)

I don't need glasses for driving. I did, but the last time I took the test I passes it without glasses. My reading glasses have gone from 100+ to 200+. Dollar store hookers...hmmmm. Me and Bill Clinton are kind of in the same situation.

Just asking: is this near or far? My seeing far got to 90ish percent by getting old and my near is taken care of by the Dollar Store (150+ to 200+).

What are you buying and why should I have it?

@AndyD said in The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread:

Starmer is an embarrassment at times because of his legalistic training and outlook.

And Starmer and the rest of the EU hierarchy is why Trump treats NATO like the crap they are.

Love me. PLEASE love me.

(And that describes Kenny, too!)

I eat liver once a year. My daughter takes the turkey livers out of the Thanksgiving turkey and cooks then up with onions for breakfast. A father-daughter once a year treat.

A snowmelter if there ever was one.

In a lot of ways, "birds of a feather."

Symphony No. 1 for Orchestra and Organ, Opus 42 by Felix-Alexandre Guilmant

Paul Jacobs played at the local music hall last week. I never heard of Guilmant before.

Is there any way of bringing gay marriage into this discussion and hitting the trifecta?

I’ve always thought you were gay despite the fact that you’re in a marriage with a woman.

Does that count?

I've always pictured him as a straight guy with a dress or two in the closet. (He's going to get pissed! )

We need to invade Canada and get our nurses back!

Soooo, was he re-elected or un re-elected? I can't figure that out.
