I'm speaking of the use of windmills in Holland for milling? Am I missing something?
It depends whether you are talking about exhibit A or B from this photo. Exhibit A is everywhere, and not just a west Texas thing. B is heavily featured in west Texas, large swaths of California, and other places, but you don't see them on every rural farm, as you would A. Based on the geographic specificity, I assumed you were talking abut B, thus my comment.

i actually agree with this guy (spurs fan) 100%, and while i do not believe that this is a “put up or shut up” year for arteta, i do acknowledge that with our summer signings, particularly poaching eze from tottenham as the cherry on top, we really do have to have a standard this year of winning a major trophy, despite the fact that this group of players have never done it before. expectations are (and should be) extremely high. at this point, anything short of
a)winning one of the fa cup/epl/uefa cl
and
b)a very competitive race for the epl title
will have to be viewed as a disappointment. everything is in place. this guy said it- adding eze to what we already had takes us over the top. it patches up our weakest link. this really does need to be phase five: taking arsenal into the city, liverpool, barca, real, bayern, psg stratosphere. this needs to be the season where we join that group, for years to come. and a supporter, with no control over the outcome, im just like fuck being nervous- i am so goddamn crunk for this upcoming season. i believe that phase five is upon us. here’s to hoping im right. COYG. 🔴⚪️
I definitely agree. It's Arsenal, so dealing with injuries is par for the course, but there should finally be enough quality depth in place to endure it. It's time for some hardware.

We renovated our bathroom last year and made the shower larger. Shower head points down so the water doesn’t spray over some parts of the shower.
Wife (coming out of shower): Can you look at the drain? It smells like pee. I think the pee smell is coming from the drain.
Me: Did you pee in the shower?
Her: Yeah. Why?
Me: Your pee probably splashed and didn’t get washed down the drain. Do you remember what you did?
Her: I don’t know. Can you just look at it? It smells bad in here!
(I proceed to take the hand shower and spray down the entire shower. No more smell)Me: There, no more pee smell. You need to aim better next time.***
*TONE*
*** is it even possible for women to aim?
At least the shower didn't smell like shit.

Quite a few, that's what made it a special year.
I have seen most of the celebrated films from 1939 more than once, so I suppose that you technically have a point. Nonetheless, I never find myself scouring TCM for guilty pleasure viewing options, and would definitely not want to be limited to that year's offerings if forced to choose. There simply aren't enough films from that year that resonate with me and many of my viewing moods would be missed entirely. I enjoy an occasional visit to Hollywood's golden era, but I would not want to live there for eternity.

God y’all are so young….
1939 is the greatest year in film history and it is not even close.
Look it up.
That's not the point. The full 1939 film catalog would pale in comparison to any of the last several decades. How many of those 1939 films are rewatchable? Sure, you get to watch a handful of the best films ever made, but that is all you get, and they are dated. I want films I can watch over and over, many of which are total crap if evaluated critically. I just want to be entertained, have a good variety of genres, and rewatch some of my personal favorites, even if they are pure shit.
There have been some really solid years offered, with countless films that I wouldn't hesitate to repeatedly watch. Here are a couple of others that I would personally consider.

I'm pretty sure they will be a pretty big flop.
I concur. Primoz can no longer win stage races, and doesn't have the attitude to be a good domestique. Remco has a limited range of stages that suit him. He could evolve, but I'm doubtful that he has that in him. Florian is the most likely of the three to challenge for Grand Tours, but Bora would need to go all in on supporting him, and I don't see them doing that. I'm frequently wrong, so we'll see what happens.

I get that. I just think maybe there was some acting. Maybe.
No.
Tadej is the best cyclist in the world currently, and possibly ever. That doesn't mean that he is capable of winning every stage that he wants. It's okay to admit that another cyclist was better on given day.

I hesitate to ask, but…
…how does the U.S. losing in the World Cup make things better in the long term vis-à-vis Donald Trump?
If Derka's response wasn't clear, he is advocating for the World Cup to be pulled from being hosted by the U.S. for political reasons, not for Team USA to lose in the competition.
