  1. ^ I've never read a lot of King, but got interested after hearing some interviews on NYT book review audio. Started with some shorter works. Have liked From a Buick 8, The Long Walk, Under the Dome, and Duma Key. The character development of Holly is great. In addition to If It Bleeds, I enjoyed the other two with her as a primary character, The Outsider (2018) and Holly.
  2. I think a quick 'this is not a serious candidate and he won't even answer the questions posed to him' will be enough to rattle him a bit. Then go on to her answer.
  3. I doubt any of her teammates in Tokyo wanted her throwing herself 10-12' in the air doing multiple somersaults/twists while also being disoriented while she's in mid-air. Doubt that they felt betrayed.
  4. ~1 in 20 American adults (16 million) own at least one AR-15 (Wash Post estimate). That's all you need to know really.
  5. Massive failure on the part of the Dems not to have kept the fascism vs democracy angle on the front burner for all of 2024. You obviously can't do it for four years because most people don't want to think about it all the time. But they have to be able to speak persuasively to voters in the next four months. I'm not sure any Democrat can win if they don't.

  7. He, Durning, and Pollack were all so good in that. I like putting that movie on as background and just listening to the dialogue. RIP.
  8. I liked that character as a kid. I wonder how many people remember that series. I was thinking it ran for more than 1 season, but wiki says it only got 5 episodes after his introduction on the two-hour Rockford episode.
  9. Or a cyber conflict that cascades out of control.
  10. Could you explain what that would look like. The full blown version that the Germans would like to have.
  11. That's the truth. Sorry for your loss, Doc. RIP.
  12. Always enjoy your takes and the long view of history that you provide. Sorry if already beaten to death, but what is your view of why Germany has allowed itself to be hemmed in by their reliance on Russian raw materials? I mean, the Germans are often regarded as pretty savvy in technical areas, so it's perplexing to the casual observer why they are where they are. I'm sure there are geographic and long-simmering political realities of which I'm just not aware.
  13. How much gas do you go through in a heavy month where you running snow machine, generators, etc.?
  14. I've wondered how often you have to get gas if you depend to an extent on generators. Where do you store it? I believe one Shaggy wife had pretty good success solving this problem with a plastic knife.
  15. Feels like it will just serve to weed out the 3 stars so that Trump and co. can recruit 4 and 5 star fascists for the next administration.
