Anybody else watching this?
I'm only an episode in. It's "meh" to my wife, but more interesting to me since my dad served in the Marines for 27 years (Vietnam at the beginning of his career and the Persian Gulf war toward the end) and I grew up on Marine Corps bases (Lejeune High Class of 1992). I'm a little amused at the range of characters featured, mostly because they all seem like kids to me at my age, even some of the junior officers. A few have a very level-headed approach to combat -- they work their ass off to be ready for war at a moment's notice, but pray it never comes to that. But some of the young enlisted men are like Francis straight out of stripes, borderline psychotic -- "All I know is I finally get to kill somebody."
Was persuaded to watch Casablanca in my early 20s by a girl I had started dating and whose pants I wanted to get into. I was pretty bored during the whole movie, but pretended to like it. We dry humped for a long time after that, and I drove home with the bluest of balls. #csb
I loved Inside the NFL as a kid. Back in the 1980s before the rise of ESPN, it was the only real source for quality highlights of all of these prior week's games. Harry Kalas's narration was legendary.
It doesn't undo any federal conviction, and I don't know that any such conviction was ever a real threat. And the fucker is still permanently disbarred by the D.C. and New York state bars, and the pardon can't touch those sanctions.
That's the big question I have have: Most people who take melatonin long-term suffer from insomnia or other poor sleep issues, and poor sleep has by itself been linked to heart issues (as well as dementia).
My wife has had trouble sleeping most of her adult life since she had kids, and perimenopause has cranked that up to 11. She's worried that several years of that will increase her risk of dementia-related problems when she gets older.
