I am not expecting much.

Maximum damage.

Or a brick bat...

she tickled the taint!

meh

I figured it would be over your head...

Neither Biden NOR Trump would ever serve a 3rd term as President. But it is far more likely that either man would violate the Constitution before Texas and California ever agree on anything and team up against DC.

So, meh

Like I said...

The concept of photo journalists endangering their lives (as illustrated in the story) is interesting, but the politics of what was said in the movie was so "woke" as to make it seem impossible. Snipers don't usually paint their fingernails.

Not over my head. Just, not impressed with the writing.

I wish a tidal wave that's over your head comes soon.

I wouldn’t say it makes me want to be a farmer, because, well, that’d be insane, but Clarkson’s Farm really makes me want to be a rich asshole that owns a farm.

yea, that's one of my takeaways from watching it

there are really no consequences for his decisions or incompetence, even without the truckload of money that Amazon is paying him.

Its a really great life.

However I can't get over how horribly constricting being British must be. The red tape is insane

I'm watching some old movie on TCM with Heddy Lamar, so of course I go to imdb to check out all the stars and stats. Check this out (about Heddy):

Inspired by an early Philco wireless radio remote and player piano rolls, she worked with composer George Antheil (who created a symphony played by eight synchronized player pianos) she invented a frequency-hopping system for remotely controlling torpedoes during World War II. (The frequency hopping concept appeared as early as 1903 in a U.S. Patent by Nikola Tesla). The invention was examined superficially and filed away. At the time, Allied torpedoes, as well as those of the Axis powers, were unguided. Input for depth, speed, and direction were made moments before launch but once leaving the submarine the torpedo received no further input. In 1959 it was developed for controlling drones that would later be used in Viet Nam. Frequency hopping radio became a Navy standard by 1960. Due to the expiration of the patent and Lamarr's unawareness of time limits for filing claims, she was never compensated. Her invention is used today for WiFi, Bluetooth, and even top secret military defense satellites. While the current estimate of the value of the invention is approximately $30 billion, during her final years she was getting by on SAG and social security checks totaling only $300 a month.

Apparently "skanky" gets you a timeout on tik tok. Just got yelled at by a 3 sentence pop up window explaining why I was wrong to do what I did.
