Lauda Flight 004 had reverser deployment during flight. Everyone died.

Ralphie May also saved the life of a child who was choking last year, which is more than most other people have done.

I don’t think it is that hard to find now. I was in a Walmart the other day checking the clearance stuff (Roku Premiere non-plus is $40; nothing else is worth buying). As I left, I noticed that the Switch display was packed with regular and splatoon bundles. No interest at all. No one buying. No one looking.

Why would they include a staff member’s tweet when it added nothing to the article?

Except these abuses of power happen in other industries as well. Powerful men (and a much much smaller number of powerful women) offer favors and preferential treatment to people—usually attractive young people—in exchange for sexual activities. Some of those people accept proposition and perpetuate problem. Others…

Not really. They are hoping that the movie revives interest. They have convention about ponies every year in, like, Baltimore or something. It has lost half of its attendance over the past few years. That is the one for the adult “brony” fanbase. Hasbro has its own family-friendly con in some other state. I don’t know…

So this fella wrote a script for a time travel show where they stop the Spanish armada or something. And NBC stole the idea. Maybe. Probably not. It is on his YouTube.

Female is a biological descriptor. It is used for all life, including humans. I would imagine most definitions for “woman” would include the word female.

And this is the problem with much of the more popular sci-fi and fantasy masquerading as “sci-fi”.

Inception (2010) exemplifies the greatest problem for sci-fi as a genre: really really dumb and ludicrous works are showered with acclaim by a viewing audience that is easy to impress.

It is still used in cricket. But with a lower case “c”. Though there are calls to change it.

The fundamental problem is that identity is not just want to you want to be or want to be seen as. Identity is who you are as a person and that identity continues to stay with you until you are no longer a person. Identity includes life history. It can’t be changed.

You would think someone with an English degree would at least be able write well. The discount bloggers that Univision hires are no good at everything.

bringing up outliers to prove a trend. I know someone who failed all their math courses.
