  1. The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line The shortest distance between 2 points is not a straight line Both can be true. Both can also be false. It depends upon the framework(s) in which they are being considered. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/football-science-hypotenuse/

  4. I shouldn't be surprised that this is what the CR has devolved to, but that is not a correct characterization of what I said.
  5. I was watching a bunch of youtube reaction videos the other day from voice coaches/experts (including vids from the Charismatic Voice) so this thread hits close to home. Two names I'll posit that I didn't see posted while skimming page one: Serj Tankian - System of a Down Till Lindemann - Rammstein
  6. I think I only laughed twice while watching through the space trek skit before calling it quits - once when Heidi fell on the desk and during Weekend Update when Colin did the dad joke that Che wrote for him. It was overall a pretty lame episode.

  9. Iran steps in. The US steps in. WW3 begins?
  10. He cast everyone that voted to oust McCarthy in the same boat of responsibility. He called the MAGA 8 traitors. I really think you read his statement with some strongly partisan glasses. Yes, the MAGA 8 initiated the process, but folks keep saying that people are responsible for their votes when the context is electing an R rep. Is there a double standard with D reps voting to oust a speaker? Sure they had valid reasons for their vote, but they are still responsible for their votes aren't they? Chaos is a ladder? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe its just a stump that is everyone's chopping block.
  11. My son still has his special solar eclipse glasses his school gave him from the last solar eclipse. We took turns having a look a moment ago. Clear skies and amazing view of a thin crescent sun. Surreal.
  12. Strongly worded letter. Duh.
  13. She gets +1 charisma when she wears an elf costume. (or something like that)
  14. I fell down a Youtube rabbit hole today listening to a few reaction to song videos from vocal coaches and the like and stumbled upon this gem that made me laugh out loud literally.

  18. Phantasm. It's been several decades since I saw this quirky horror flick for the first time (as a teenager). Watched it with my son the other night as he had not seen it. It starts really slow but does a credible job of building a real sense of suspense. I didn't remember from my first viewing, but the sound effects were really on point. A few gratuitous shots of titties and lots of bizarre supernatural nonsense. The middle to end of the movie is fun shlock. Oh, and it screams 70s with the clothes, hairdos and cars.
