  1. Two minutes into Episode 5. I'm out.
  2. The cultural decline at ISU is directly related to the crash in corn prices. Prove me wrong.
  3. The retconned Gorn are so different, they shoulda given them a new name.
  4. A few months ago his hyperbole had gotten so bad he was nearly insufferable. He was drinking his own koolade. More recently he has dialed it back. Even admitted he was wrong about Russia's oil wells freezing shut and their economy crashing. Ironically, THAT is own that can be ended with "...yet."
  5. It's a back/forth over time. But if you're saying the last few seasons of the SW shows > Picard S3, SNW2 and no Discovery, then well I don't know what say.
  6. In 20 years it'll be held in the same regard as the original.
  7. What WAS his description? What was her relationship with him in the book?
  8. Discussing UFO's with a random homeless man (presumably from Austin):
  9. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxM90mobH84lHFd5nsuVaRf7b3XpUOfe7n
  10. Looks like he's gained some weight laid off the drugs. Good for him.
  11. And ATAACMS The Russian economy has proven FAR more resilient than anticipated. Gonna collapse, but in its own time: Nearly 18 months after the Ukraine war started, Russia's economy appears to be humming along — baffling economists who predicted catastrophic outcomes following sweeping sanctions against Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. While some economists have questioned the quality and veracity of Russian data releases, a New York Times report on Monday offered a nuanced picture of the country's wartime economy and how it's helping drum up popular support for Vladimir Putin. Russia's economic strength so far is due to the Kremlin's measures — the Times reported that Putin is boosting the production of military equipment and raising pensions, salaries, and other benefits for people who are not well-off. The state is also subsidizing mortgages. Soldiers fighting the war are also earning far higher salaries than average earnings in poorer regions of Russia, the Times reported. For instance, Russia was offering a minimum of 160,000 rubles, or about $1,740, in monthly wages for contract soldiers last September — three times the national average, Reuters reported at the time. Large payouts for those who died in the war — for example, a 5 million rubles payout for families of Wagner Group fighters who died in the war — are circulating in the economy. https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-war-economy-government-boom-crash-sanctions-ukraine-invasion-2023-8
