I don’t think your analogy quite works. Bankrupting a casino is possible if you’re very, very stupid. Setting the ocean floor on fire is impossible.

CNN is now reporting that the father of one of the kids in the video has forced Facebook to take down Trump’s video. Trump is not having a good day.

You must have missed that South Park episode where James Cameron used his bathysphere to lower the bar into the Marianas Trench.

Yes. That was the first Miyazaki film to get exported and from the sounds of it, it was butchered. I’ve never seen it, but just the artwork for the VHS box fills me with dread.

Good question. Sadly, this was one of her better roles. As I’ve said before, this movie has one of my most favorite people in the world (Emma Watson) hitting one of my least favorite people in the world (Seth Rogen) in the face with a shovel. 

No worries. I was actually born in North Wales, but my parents moved to England when I was about 18 months old. I make sure I can remember a few words, and pronounce the dreaded ‘ll’ sound.

Morgan’s deserve better engines.

How can you mention it and not show the railway station sign?

If you just skimmed this article, and did not click on the ‘teach Hamlet to a toddler’ link, or do know know about it, do yourself a big favor and watch it now. The man is a goddamn treasure.

Hey, science fiction writer S.M. Sterling (Steve Sterling) still owes me 10 bucks because I bet him that cold fusion was a fraud. He’s written stuff with Pournelle, too.

Can anyone tell me why his hand didn’t spontaneously burst into flame?

Mom and Dad both owned Sciroccos, and Dad was a notorious wrencher. (He pulled the engine out of the ‘72 Corolla with a hoist attached to the garage rafters to fix it.) He recognized a lot of the 944 parts that he’d seen previously in the Scirocco.

An ‘84 was my father’s final car. My brother has it in storage now. Compared to modern cars (I have a ‘14 FR-S) everything feels a bit heavy, and you have to pay much more attention. No ABS, no traction control, but I disagree with the owner of the listed one that the shift is ‘sloppy’. The clutch throw is a bit long,…

I was just struck by how well they rendered the water. It was perfect.

So which Earth is this on, post-Crisis? If Jay Garrett is dead, killed by the Injustice League, I guess it can’t be Earth Prime.

Yeah, they do. My Mom used to teach community college english before she retired, and she said her worst students were LASA (Law And Security Administration). 

It seems like a century ago, but last decade, before Twitter turned into the cesspool it is now, LeVar Burton was in Toronto for some reason, and just tweeted out that he’d like to have a meet-up with his followers, and could someone suggest a bar?

Why are they posting that stuff on Twitter?

I miss the old Speed channel that would show WRC every Sunday night. Loads of in-car stuff, too.

Look up ‘prosperity gospel’, and notice that Paula White, Trump’s ‘spiritual advisor’ is an advocate of the prosperity gospel. Then it all makes perfect sense.
