Why would the descendants of the greatest navigators the world has seen, who traveled back and forth across the Pacific with only constellations as their guide, want to study the stars?  

I thought this was originally planned to be built on the site of an existing obsolete telescope?

I mean, it’s not that far fetched. Money and power/influence usually come before science. If you look a public opposition and protests against GMOs, most of that was originally funded by the groups who sold vitamin A supplements in third world and sprayable fungicides. They funneled money to green peace and others to…

Still have em where I live.

I always thought it was funny that Seattle has such a reputation for rain and gets so little. I get that it’s overcast a drizzly for most of the year, but the actual volume of water is pretty low.

Good question. I’ve heard of that happening, but I’m not sure if it’s still the case.

That would be such a waste. Eli is even more washed than Dez

The destinations on the rise are, interesting. Not sure Kapaa would be on my list of top places to visit in Hawaii.

Lots of good info here. I think the most important thing mentioned is to discuss all this ahead of time. If you can’t have open discussions about debt and finances, then you probably shouldn’t be getting married. Also, don’t be afraid of a prenup, especially if one of you has significantly more debt or more assets…

His marketing and promotional skills are as good as any con-man we’ve ever seen. I still think his ego and something as silly as lying to the FBI or money laundering/tax evasion will be his downfall though.  

If you’re trying to make a trump joke, then you’re seriously overestimating his intelligence and discipline. He is exactly the kind of person who would think he could outsmart them or talk his way out of something and end up completely hosed. If the Feds start asking questions, there’s a high probability that they…

Same. Always just thought it was a funny sounding old timey expression when I was a kid. It can’t be bad if they say it on looney toons right? (Yes. It can in fact be very problematic we later realized.)

I feel like it was pretty common as an alternative to swearing when I was a kid (80s/90s not far from where the Thunder play). It was definitely used more by my grandparents’ generation though. Never really understood the racial undertones until later. We weren’t very woke growing up, but I know now it’s not…

That’s probably a decent place to start. Or they could start with Hax or Roland’s becoming a gunslinger. I get your point on why the story in a story had a purpose. The thing to remember is that the general public is stupid and studio execs even more so. So, starting with an origin story, while boring, makes some…

That casting was inspired, and his performance was good. I agree that it’s best for a new iteration not to have any connection to the awful film though.

I liked Wolves of Calla, but that’s kind of where it starts to go off the rails. If you’re not the completionist type, you’re fine to stop now. You’ve already hit the best parts.

I’ve found the show pretty enjoyable. The diversity of the characters with the mixtures of surnames and appearances, and the pidgin/slang of the belters made it really feel like what something that could be a possible realistic future. Little touches like the bit about all the Martians of Indian/Asian descent with a…

Yeah, but do you really want to see etch a sketch pictures of people like Trump, Rubio, or Pelosi,

Growing up, I just assumed it was.
