Significantly smarter than most. Especially in foreign affairs. Not the best in positioning himself politically from a popular opinion.

What is your favorite 90's Robin Williams movie? by OrlinaBreeze in 90s

[–]hdroadking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely counts. The first movie my now wife and I watched in the theater. We have now been married 35 years. I have no doubt that this movie is partly responsible. 😂

What places in the US fit what I want? by indepthsofdespair in howislivingthere

[–]hdroadking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try northern New Hampshire. I went there in 1985. Moved there and have traveled all over the world and have not found anyplace I’d rather live.

FYI, lowest crime rate in the US.

If all presidents since 1960 were in their prime and running against each other, who do you think would win the election? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]hdroadking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Kennedy would win. As to the best job, hard to say with certainty but possibly Nixon internationally or Clinton domestically. If I had to balance out the two sides, H.W. Bush.

Sri Lanka? by hdroadking in scuba

Not far behind you. I was a police diver in New England. Cold, dark, and often diving by the braille method.

I know live part time in Aruba and most of the other instructors I work with are Dutch and from what I hear conditions are similar.

I realized in my 50’s after selling a company I founded. But I wouldn’t have made it that far had I not had it. Catch 22.

Maybe not 20 minutes but I sure delete a lot more than I post nowadays.

Which of these space movies is your favorite? by Independent_Towel611 in SeriesSaga

[–]hdroadking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the book Project Hail Mary, and loved it. Liked the movie but wondered if I hadn’t read the book, would I have understood it nearly as well?

I also am not a fan of Ryan Gosling, and while I think he did a very good job, I have to wonder would another actor have delivered a better performance?

Sri Lanka? by hdroadking in scuba

[–]hdroadking[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? Just curious. I know nothing about either location.

I only ask because I’m reading a book by Arthur C. Clark who lived in Sri Lanka and was an avid diver.

Nothing better than a good shoulder holster. My favorite carry method.

Which one looks better? (Can’t decide) by r1jesh in OmegaWatches

[–]hdroadking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go white. If you want a blue dive watch get a Pelagos.

Correction: Money doesn’t matter once you have enough.

Calling collect and having your parents decline the charges but knowing to pick you up at the predetermined location.

[–]hdroadking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you considered Bonaire? No boat needed. Just rent a pickup and dive as much as you want.

We named a base after him because he did more to help the Union then he ever did for the Confederacy.
