Not that it really mattered to me, but when I was sesrching for a long-term rental in Germany, smoking in the property was almost universally banned. It was much easier to find places that allowed pets.

I want to see the movie where a sexy woman longingly says "I bet I could take you in a fight", and the ancient swordmaster takes her words literally.

And there's also a reason that many countries with unstable currencies unofficially use the dollar.

I meant scandals invovling their journalistic standards. The biggest was the “A Rape on Campus” fiasco. A lesser one was the unverified claim that an Oklahima hospital was overflowing with patients who had overdosed on ivermectin.

Another reason to perhaps show a little restraint... the source of this story was Rolling Stone. Given their recent history, perhaps withholding an editorial opinion pending further independent verification might be the prudent move.

As someone who lives in Vermont, I’m going to be looking at some of the farms around here a little differently in the next few days.

Thanks for posting this, it was quite interesting to know that he could have taken a much cushier position, but declined it to be as much of a regular grunt as was possible for him.

What’s even weirder is that Priscilla was an officer’s daughter. In the social culture of the military, officers usually try to keep their daughters as far away from the lower enlisted men as possible.

I would love to hear an alternate take of Kentucky Rain from the woman’s perspective, perhaps implying that the male voice in the song is a bit of an unreliable narrator and not quite the loving, patient lover he seems to think he is.

I would much rather see a movie with Patrick Warburton voicing Buzz than Chris Evans, whose voice is so generic I wouldn’t even recognize it.

My kids didn’t even bother finishing Turning Red, so I guess at some point this summer I’ll see how it wraps up. I’m not waiting on pins and needles.

Heck, with my 3 year old and two dogs, some toys lying around our house from last year look like they came from 50 years ago!

Maybe the idea is that it works like allergy shots in that you consume minute but increasing quantities of the pollen, and thus decrease your sensitivity to it over time.

I read that too and was a bit confused.  Maybe the pasteurization delays the onset of crystalization?  Of course, you can still safely consume the honey once it crystalizes, but I would think people are probably less likely to buy it at that point.  So, not really that it spoils, but rather, becomes less marketable.

That sounds like just the type of movie Bob Chapek would demand. And unfortunately, I don’t think enough of the Old Guard with the necessary clout at Pixar remains to say no to such an abomination...

I know Buzz was in Toy Story 4, but I can’t remember anything he did in the film except (spoiler alert) say goodbye to Woody at the end.

Here’s an idea... Buzz Lightyear, by himself and in his own fictional universe, isn’t that interesting of a character, and is really just a generic science fiction hero.

I agree with all the choices, except no Toy Story 3? I would easily swap that out for Turning Red, which for me was thoroughly middle-of-the-pack.

The song’s original run was before my time.  But when I was a teenager, it was absent from the type of radio stations that would regularly play stuff like Band on the Run, Jet, Live and Let Die and even Junior’s Farm.

I actually like both bagpipes and the accordion, although they might not work so well together.
