  2. I say this with affection, but an accurate portrayal of the Battle of Leyte Gulf would show both bravery and stupidity on a grand scale. Fantastic that we won, but man oh man did we get lucky. Scenes could include pilots in unarmed planes buzzing Japanese ships. In one case resorting to throwing a clipboard at the stunned Japanese commanders on the bridge. WTF! Did he just throw a clipboard?
  3. During wwII Coke had engineers imbedded with combat troops. They had some sort of sweetheart deal to set up bottling plants as the army advanced. After all you need good sources of clean water. The French dubbed it Coca-colonization. It lead to some of De Gaulle's pushback against American cultural spread after the war and France's resistance to all things English & American.
  4. Good thing he's a joke and prone making outlandish prognostications and presenting erroneous information like it's the gospel. If you take this guy seriously, you need to look for better analysis.

    I agree with your sentiment. It's helpful to consider that other Aerospace Cos just lose that money without launching a thing. They just burn that money in the waterfall design process. Starliner? When will it fly in production? I think that Space X has shown that they can deliver, and perhaps more importantly can capture the public's attention and therefore government cash. Maybe think of these flights as 75% development 25% marketing Disclosure: Fuck Space Elmo

  7. Share trivial interesting things you just learned. Doesn't need to be important or useful. There are more Redwoods in the UK than there are in California. By almost 6x Giant redwoods: World’s largest trees 'thriving in UK'
  8. She's not scared of death... she's hoping for it. It's been 30yrs since I read the book, but IIRC it was some Japanese 5d chess. Women ran the home and she was within her right to ask him to leave. So he had leave or risk losing face. If she died protecting the guns, she has served Toranaga, protected her family honor, done her duty to the Gaijin, and gotten a quick death.
  9. Well on Hulu you can go into episodes and choose the english dub version. I normally hate dubs, but it's been pretty good so far (there are still some sub titles though)
  10. There are some other not insignificant benefits to this show. You will see
  11. I'll give you a 50% credit towards my own rap competition... The winner get TWO writing credits, royalties from all of my albums, but you must go on tour with the next Surly road trip... It's $100, but I need two verses so your recording costs might be slightly higher depending on how fast you can singrap
  12. Imagine a time traveler coming to you 10-15 years ago and telling you that in the future, Rednecks from the south would pledge fealty to their new god, a yankee from New York.
  13. They drew him too tall
  14. Same-ish Lots of Scottish surnames in my family and family lore of being predominantly Scots. Ancestry returned majority English ~65% Scotish~17% Irish~13% and Germany/Norway making up the rest. Here's the rub... there is also a decent bit of French in my family... I know this because I have genealogical records of ancestors coming directly from France. This is why... Illegal DNA test in France It is considered illegal to take a DNA test outside of legal proceedings in France. According to the law, it is forbidden to carry out a genetic analysis in a private setting, for example on the internet or abroad. Therefore, as an individual, you do not have the right to use tests considered recreational through private laboratories. Bottom line these tests are only as accurate as the data they are compared against. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/01/22/578293890/my-grandmother-was-italian-why-arent-my-genes-italian
  15. That wrinkle was nicely set up.
  16. Poor Things... it was good, but I have found that I'm thinking about the movie more and more. and not like that you pervs! Best line of the film. A lot to unpack
  17. I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today
