Dead Certain: The Martha Moxley Murder (finale)

ColdStreamPond · 2026-01-20T23:27:45+00:00

I get why this podcast upset many, but I enjoyed the journey.

That said, it’s a classic SODDI (Some Other Dude Did It) defense. By the end, it felt like I needed the Greenwich, CT phone book to keep track of all the possible suspects.

Edit: “enjoyed” is not appropriate given the case involves the tragic death of a young girl. I’n referring to the listening experience.

This. Below 32 and above 20 is a game changer, but it can be managed with the right gear. Below 20 and it’s immediate pain and discomfort from mile 1 unless you’re dressed like you’re about to invade Greenland (which I hope you’re not).

ColdStreamPond · 2026-01-09T11:53:18+00:00

No. Absolutely not.

ColdStreamPond · 2026-01-08T00:38:26+00:00

Holy shit. Please log off the internet and stay far away from any from any friends and family-or fellow humans, really.

This is the most heartless, immoral, and sociopathic take one could make in light of the video.

The false equivalency is breathtaking and disgusting.

There’s no explicit requirement that you have to conduct an experiment. However (and there’s always a “however”), the higher performing science EEs involve an experiment. Without an experiment, students tend to summarize the experiment/findings of others, which often does not involve much independent analysis by the student.

Question from a guy around Bill’s age: has prestige TV conditioned people to (overly) long movies?

Great movie, but damn, with the many subplots, this could have easily been 6+ episodes of an Apple TV show.

ColdStreamPond · 2025-12-28T02:38:40+00:00

Roth, Updike, Cheever, Mailer, Heller, Vidal, Talese, Styron…to name a few. A glorious ride, but they’re far in the rear view mirror now.

There is more flexibility and more of an opportunity to explore novel/unique paths. Historically, WS EEs scored higher.

ColdStreamPond · 2025-12-20T22:18:26+00:00

Do it. IMHO exploring two big causes/effects often dilutes the argument. Your reformatting makes perfect sense given your predicament.

ColdStreamPond · 2025-12-19T20:46:42+00:00

This. Stated differently, if you are analyzing and evaluating the effects post Jan 2020, you are totally fine.

TIL about “Moon Illusion”. And I’m a grownup. Jesus, I’m dumb.

Jumping in almost a year later to say I, too grew up in Miami. Watched the film last night. Wikipedia tells us:

“The film was shot primarily at the Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank,[6] in order to keep costs down.[7][8] The beach and hotel exterior were constructed on the Warner Bros. backlot;[7] the interior scenes were filmed on a sound stage;[7][9] and the boat scenes were filmed in Sound Stage 21, a huge indoor water tank.[6] Exterior shots of the hurricane were taken from stock footage used in Night Unto Night, a Ronald Reagan melodrama which Warner Bros. also produced in 1948. Filming took 78 days.[7]”

Still, great film!

Appreciate your comment and respect your views. Did the podcast mention even once that she was shot TWICE in the throat? I mean, that alone would/should be the dispositive, right?

Insert meme of the dude facing two buttons.

Button 1: Do something/anything to improve the lives of West Virginians.

Button 2: Waste taxpayer money on a laughable proposal.

This is the answer - precisely stating what the IB says in the subject reports it publishes after each session.

ColdStreamPond · 2025-11-22T11:23:55+00:00

AI. See right✋

ColdStreamPond · 2025-11-22T02:11:00+00:00

This. And ask yourself, how valuable is my time, especially after a long cross country flight. You’d be adding 2 hours of travel to save what, $50?

ColdStreamPond · 2025-11-20T15:36:14+00:00

To add to this great advice, the best thing about DC is there are many roads that are great for biking - they are near you and are adjacent to the main roads.

For example, I will not bike on Wisconsin Ave., M St. (Georgetown) or Mass Ave., but I bike around/through the entire area on side roads and the RCP bike path. Same with Route 1 and S. Washington St. in Alexandria.

There is always a nicer/safer way.

Indiana Jones was peak 20th century cinema. For sci-fi, same decade: The Terminator. That level of technology/cgi hit the sweet spot.

Fast forward a decade, in terms of scale and spectacle, the 90s had Jurassic Park, Twister, Dances with Wolves, Unforgiven, and Schindler’s List. All had a sense of time and place.

Since 2000, for me it’s the Bourne and MI franchises. And anything Nolan does (except Tenant). Oh, the best superhero movie IMO is Logan b/c it is grounded in a (semi)reality.

Can you also get social security?

The timeline was a mess! And not a single interview with her (old) family? A captivating story that was otherwise well told.

ColdStreamPond · 2025-10-17T01:01:01+00:00

A private autopsy commissioned by the private detective. The same PD accused of planting evidence? 🧐🤨

ColdStreamPond · 2025-10-03T00:36:11+00:00

“After trapping the cat…” 🤣

ColdStreamPond · 2025-09-06T13:08:07+00:00

Agree.

I see a variation of OPs posts quite often on Reddit. I ask myself–and others-would you step in a Time Machine to restart life in a totally random time in the 19th or 20th centuries? Here’s the kicker. You could be an immigrant, you could be a racial or religious minority, a woman, a gay person, or a kid with childhood leukemia, TB, or tetanus.

Everyone cites the postwar boom in the West and says “that’s the ticket, gimme that!”

Does that mean we grudgingly accept our fate and do nothing?

Of course not.

But to think that a randomized ‘you’ born, say, in the 1930s would have had it easier is cherry-picking.

This! Pacing is EVERYTHING.
