  1. Well, I certainly hope they discover all sorts of new things. Knowing more about low gravity plant growth would be very helpful once we reach Mars, and if they find rocks from the moon's core that would be very cool.
  2. I doubt that it being on the "dark side" will add much scientific knowledge. Though the rover may have scientific instruments not included in previous rovers and that could be valuable. In any event, I tend to view space explorations as not a national aspiration but a human aspirations, and as such news of the landing made me happy.
  3. It's also possible that the Atlantean commando armor that he was wearing gave him extra strength that made the difference. Though I do think that the knife will turn out to be special.
  4. Aquaman has so far made a $629 million worldwide. So we may have to consider the possibility that the DCEU may not implode, despite the massive failure that was Justice League. It turns out that all they need to do is make films completely without Zack Snyder being involved. Who knew? Except, well, everybody.
  5. Agreed. Though I do think that they will do a Daredevil show. He is their best character in that particular that particular weight class, though I am also a fan of Moon Knight. If they are smart, they will scalp some of the writing and production crew from the Netflix series since they did a very good job. However, unless Netflix agrees to sell they the right to the first 3 season, I don't see them going forward with Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, or Vincent D'Onofrio.
  6. Rudy Guiliani accidentally creates a link in one of his tweets It get put to good use.
  7. I've been enjoying Beck Chamber's Wayfarer series (The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet; A Closed and Common Orbit; and Record of a Spaceborn Few). Have you ever watched or read some big space opera and found yourself wondering what life is like for normal people living in that universes? Ir is in the lives of normal people where the Wayfarer series calls home. Because while Chamber's Galactic Commons would make a fine setting for big space opera type of adventures. The stories are inevitably about people trying to find love, friendship and purpose in a big and confusing universe. That is not say they are completely lacking in adventure. Even though you know from the outset that she succeeds, Jane 37's efforts to escape from her home world are quite harrowing. It is just that when there is adventure, it is just a part of the story it is not the whole story. Good books. I will be impatiently waiting for the fourth in the series to come out.
  8. I'm not the least bit worried about the migrants throwing rocks. People who are just trying to stay alive don't usually go around picking unnecessary and potentially suicidal fights. Their supporters and people pretending to be supporters are another matter.
  9. A little pedantic I know, but Libertarians are considered part of the right wing under the traditional pro-capitalist definition of the term.
  10. Options, dragon: Leonard Smalls, from Raising Arizona
  11. This is BS. Yes, the Senate can't "order" the FBI to investigate on their behalf, but they can request such an investigation and in the normal course of events such a request would be granted, Chuck Grassley isn't requesting because he doesn't want the investigations.
  12. Not just bald billionaire, but bald, evil, billionaire. Good pick. Antagonist: Lex Luthor
  13. Looking for help with my antagonist. I really want to use Jeff Bezos as my antagonist, but I know that real people are generally off limits for drafts. So, ideally I would like an official ruling that Jeff Bezos is not actually a real person. Falling short of that, can any of you think of any good Jeff Bezos fictional analogs?
  14. Kid #4: Regan MacNeil, from The Exorcist, sometimes possessed by Pazuzz, but usually just herself
  15. Also, while Danny remains a bit naive, he is a good deal more mature this season. I mention that because while I got why Danny was immature in season 1, I know that it bugged the heck out of a lot of viewers. Having now made it all the way season 2 (the move from 13 episodes to 10 episodes was a good one), I must say that I didn't see that ending coming.
  16. You think Stallone is human looking? We may have to agree to disagree on this one.
  17. Benign Adult: Friendly school janitor, Frederick Charles Krueger
  18. Starting late; Location: Dunwich Massachusetts Kid #1: Pugsley Addams
  19. Both Senators Lisa McCloskey of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine have stood up to Trump in the past and may do so again in the future. However, Senator Collins recently met with Brett Kavanaugh and has expressed satisfactions with his answers to her questions. So don't expect her to be the GOP senator that takes a bullet for Roe v. Wade. Since I suspect the bullet would be as likely to be literal as figurative, I can't really say that I blame her.
  20. Senator John McCain Dead At Age 81 I voted for John McCain in the 2000 presidential primary though George W Bush and Al Gore went on to get their parties' nomination. I still believe we would have been better served by John McCain as president than either of those 2 gentlemen. In 2008, I voted for Barack Obama over John McCain, because McCain was no longer the better candidate. Still, I remember a time at one of his campaign rallies when he mentioned his opponent and the audience started booing and yelling racist things and McCain told them to stop and that his opponent was a good man and he just disagreed with him politically. His audience was displeased with his statement, but he has my eternal admiration for having the courage and class to make it. Godspeed in this final flight, good sir.
