What about a driver carrying on a conversation with the passenger while maintaining constant eye contact instead of looking at the road? This often leads to the TV T-bone.

I’m a big fan of Post Apocalyptic books and ones like a Canticle for Leibowitz, Ridley Walker, and especially the Years of Rice and Salt all feature people (re)discovering science and making their own advances. It’s reassuring to think this would happen without a “lockbox”.
I’ve never actually watched one of these shows, but I might watch this. I’m in DC which supposedly had a really bad one. Not sure if Potomac ever got made or if it’s still on.
They should just make Real Housewives of Palm Beach County. That way they’d squeeze in Boca Raton, Wellington, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, and Palm Beach etc.
You’re basically describing treadwheel cranes which were used in the middle ages. It’s actually strange that they weren’t featured in the books or TV show.
Have you heard of the book Ridley Walker? It takes place in England thousands of years after a nuclear war. It could almost be a sequel to Threads, right down to the degraded English language you hear at the end.
I watched When the Wind Blows as a kid. It’s a cartoon! Bad idea.
Hopefully without a lot of on the nose music cues a la Handmaid’s Tale.
She probably had enough liquor on her hands to sterilize them. I saw her poach a salmon in a whole bottle of vermouth once. She was great.
Keep in mind this police ambush happened in New York about 10 days earlier. There should be better screening and training, but I bet no one is charged in this case. The officer will probably be done as a cop forever though.
She says she works for RTE (Irish Radio and Television), but it seems Trump thinks she said RT (Russia Today).
Prices also went up which increased revenue despite lower attendance. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/business/media/disney-theme-parks-universal-attendance.html?_r=0
I want to check out the book now. Apparently there’s a version of the Green Book mentioned. That’s a great device for a horror story.
Yeah. Americans use Asian for East and Southeast Asian. Everyone else just gets identified by what country they’re from. In the UK Asian usually means Pakistani.
Check out the episode the We Hate Movie podcast just did on it (link auto-plays audio). http://traffic.libsyn.com/whmpodcast/Overboard.mp3
I did Peace Corps in Mongolia and their advice was to crouch down and (pretend to) throw rocks at the dog. Just taking the stance would scare them off. Not sure if this works anywhere else.
Turtle rabbits? In Mongolian Turtles are Bone Frogs.
Usually I think quoting the Second Coming is really pompous, but it’s quite fitting now.
Fat Point. The n is not silent.
