He was under a curse. Which was broken. Lampshade applied.

All World War II vessels are TINY compared to a modern 3,000-passenger cruise ship. Our shipyards are not capable without massive construction, which entails massive up-front costs.

Speaking of Niven, do the four distinct General Products hulls — of different shapes, sizes and intended uses, but all of which are transparent and nigh-inpenetrable — fall into separate categories or just the one?

If you grandfather in A&E for inflicting “Duck Dynasty” on America, count me in!

Let’s stipulate that you and ACprof can’t control what Bradley or other “woke-scolding” “pansies” write, post, report or broadcast. What all y’all CAN control is your reaction to them. Y’all can choose to NOT be “asses” about anything and everything that wakes your inner rage-kitten. Just sayin’.

When she took the knife and stabbed El Cuco in the heart?

A furniture maker that relied on prison labor, no less....

Was that you? Sorry, my bad. But FWIW, I was switching to the next podcast on my feed, not “on the phone.”

*blank stare* guy didn’t come back with a snark about Michigan’s ROADS?

Such as murdering several dozen of Thomas Edison’s employees? None of them had children who would be important to history? Heck, even the original Star Trek’s “Tomorrow is Yesterday” 53 years ago didn’t make that mistake, when they realize Captain Christopher’s son would be important to 21st Century space exploration.

In my fan wank, Squid the People is the next version of Foster the People.

Jim Hackett HIRED Jim Harbaugh when he was temporarily Michigan’s Athletic director. Which is pretty close to Peak Jim.

Trish Walker still had the Jewel costume Jessica Jones used to wear until she first encountered Killgrave.

I see what you did there.

A) Diana wasn’t driving; 2) They were being aggressively pursued by multiple vehicles in an unsafe manner, in large measure because of her choice of “rich playboy.”

Fleeing aggressive paparazzi who DID care about skin tone and other forms of “scandal” is how they died.

The paparazzi’s heel-turn against Diana came after the royal divorce, when she had the audacity, the sheer GALL, to date two men of color — a Pakistani doctor, and then the man who died with her, Dodi Fayed, son of the Egyptian tycoon who at the time owned Harrod’s (that most “British” of department stores).…

What about “You were at my wedding, Denise” — her eternal contribution to meme culture? Was that really less than 10 months ago?

On a rewatch on a very large screen in 4K, after the cannon fires there is NO ONE standing behind it. I believe “Calhattan” made a copy of himself to shoot himself, because there were no 7K survivors to take care of things.

So who’s been dropping squids while Veidt’s been on Europa?
