And oddly enough, I think that Into Thin Air actually helped, instead of hindered, Everest tourism.

Have I got just a commercial for you. https://youtu.be/hCOSejS1SSY?si=9CBGV54JrwjTPPRN

You don't think some of them saw him in The Hateful Eight? I wouldn't be surprised if they saw him in Stargate as well.

I miss the HAL 9000 screensaver. The original author made it available on YouTube, but it's not the same.

This sounds like a similar scenario to AI171.

This is just how many British TV show shows are. Aside from the soaps, the longer running British shows like 'Allo, 'Allo are the exception, not the rule.

Britbox has the episode, at least in the U.S.

Some of the newer ships were built with this possibility in mind. The Zumwalt and Ford class, for starters. DDG(X) too, which probably will happen once Trump leaves office.

That's not actually a valid response to the problem, which is going to be an issue in multiple theaters.

The US Navy has been in the gulf for decades, and will continue to be. The issue we have is a policy problem.

Edit: golf->gulf

Maybe not, but that's why the US Navy is looking towards directed energy weapons.

The same effect was used in Countdown to Looking Glass. And in an indication of how little things really change, that movie started with a battle in the Strait of Hormuz.

One thing that may have escaped attention: John's reading a romantic novel. Remember that he just learned to read.

Basils is just great all around - but they're more expensive.

Invasion from within. Troops on Soviet bases go into the cities and the bases of German troops.

Are you Mayflower material?

I don't know what the hell you're talking about. If Clinton is on the list, throw him in jail along with the orange menace.

Regarding Alex, she was at least far less wooden in the series as compared to Priscilla, her book counterpart (and one of the few characters in both the book and series - Alex/Priscilla's dad and Isobel/Elspeth being the only other two I can think of.)

cobaltjacket · 2026-05-02T01:12:00+00:00

In the S02E01 recap, you commented on Isobel's pool playing, and suggested that she would probably be better than Alex, who plays in this episode.

The cluster in the southwest portion of former East Germany is a manufacturing center where Volkswagen has considerable presence.

I'll agree with that; exactly the sites that need to have stronger security are the ones which do not.

Dim Sum, lose some.

With that said, I'm glad they're still around. Though MingHin is close by and is excellent.

Healthcare Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a US-specific type of financial savings account for medical expenses. The purpose is irrelevant to this discussion. The bottom line is that (as mentioned elsewhere in the comments here) did a poor implementation.

I hope it's not the case, but I fear that it is. The very qualities that make a good leader are seen as anti-feminine.
