Well I wasn’t a fan of the original films, but we’ll see.

RTD is completely correct. Unless there’s a massive change in the way people think about public broadcasting — and I don’t think there will be — the BBC as a publicly-funded organization is doomed.

I personally love it, but I have not yet seen the most recent season.

Or the three Jesuses.  (The two thin ones balance out the fat one.)

Listen very closely; I will say this only once: What a great show that was.

I dunno; a James Cameron Superman movie would be interesting if nothing else.

I mean, you’re not wrong.

LOL just drag it into a Kohl’s then, I suppose.

Driving on a 2-lane highway where suburbs meet farmland. Limit is 45 and I’m doing about 60. Big fuckin’ truck with big fuckin’ confederate flags pulls up behind me, so close our bumpers are almost touching. The truck honks at me, then violently swings into the oncoming lane and passes me (no passing zone, so bonus…

I’d greenlight this.

Agreed!  I especially enjoyed him in an episode of House, but he’s been great in everything I’ve seen of him.

I wonder how that works.  Do you just upload the corpse?

I used to live in CA and saw the same thing: helmets that meet the bare minimum as required by law.  Skull caps, as you said.  It’s insane.

Tobacco users pay more for both health insurance and life insurance. In many cases, the difference is not small.

Absolutely. This shit always goes back to executive leadership, because by law (that’s how fucked up everything is) all they focus on is shareholder value.  Producing products or services is just a byproduct.  Unfortunately, all shareholders care about is stock price/dividends/etc.  If cutting 15% of the workforce…

In fairness, the same is true at pretty much any publicly-traded company without a unionized workforce; they just don’t get Musk’s press (mainly because they don’t act like toddlers). My current employer is firing veteran engineers with decades of experience because they don’t want to move to Texas or some other…

LOL come on. Every MBA everywhere knows that when the stock price is struggling and you don’t have a quick way to jump revenue, you lay people off.

You’ve never lusted for an XJ-S? When I was in high school, I thought they were the sexiest fucking things I’d ever seen. And to me, a V-12 sounded (in my head) like a super-rare unicorn, and (in my ears) like sex probably did (shut up, I was in high school, ok).

Ah but Aston-Martin didn’t make the Cygnet!  Toyota did!
