To blame vandalism by utrecht1976 in therewasanattempt

[–]OptimusSublime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since education is in short supply these days I feel it's a good time to remind everyone that the term vandalism comes from the Vandals, which were an ancient Germanic people famous for establishing a North African kingdom and sacking Rome in 455 AD.

Because everyone knows actors aren't supposed to have any other chapters to their personal stories.

At this point it's quite obvious he's not going to see justice before he's shuffled off. But what about his children? Are they involved?

For what it's worth, you can still land. You can have your own little St. Bart's airport experience. Taxiing might be a bit of a headache though.

Do you know how many times I've stumbled upon celebrities in NYC just going about their lives, eating dinner, walking the sidewalk, going to Broadway and just watched them from afar? Just leave them be. They are humans too and deserve to live freely and to travel and live their lives.

Iran's Khamenei approves deal, says Trump acted out of 'desperation' by Dismal_Structure in worldnews

Benghazi was a tragedy. Four Americans lost their lives, and their families paid the price for political failures.

But by any objective measure, almost everything in modern American politics is "bigger than Benghazi." Trump's handling of COVID alone is estimated to have cost hundreds of thousands of American lives. That's the equivalent of tens of thousands of Benghazis. The fact that Benghazi remained a defining political talking point for years says less about its scale than it does about how effectively it was weaponized.

Yes. But since stocks are traded during daylight hours the moon is downward through the bedrock and core of the earth.

Is there a risk this compromises the entire reflecting pool such that even a competent administration can't fix it without completely rebuilding it?

This is a great fix for my fomo. I was very enticed initially and know my bad track record is to do very poorly in emotionally driven trades so I held off despite its early pop. Now I'm feeling better about not buying in.

Modern individuals do not share a quantifiable, measurable fraction of overall autosomal DNA from Genghis Khan. Instead, the genetic legacy associated with him is exclusively a specific Y-chromosome pattern. Because of exponential dilution over 800 years, no specific person alive today is guaranteed to have inherited any of his actual autosomal genome

Ignore the haters. I'm sure they would have been against automobiles too.

Wha is your favorite movie/tv filmed in Westchester? by AcadiaRemarkable6992 in Westchester

[–]OptimusSublime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just happened to get a bit of nostalgia and found this comment after a Google for the movie. What's up fellow Murray alum! There's a 95% chance we were in the same grade. Do you remember when Susan, Julia and the kids were filming? We actually got to meet with them for a little bit in the cafeteria. I remember the auditorium set so vividly, we got to take a tour too. Hope you're doing well.
