Not a 'lost' invention, but one that fell out of use in Europe: Aqueducts. The Romans built aqueducts everywhere, but they fell out of use in Western Europe after the 5th Century CE. The primary reason seems to be that they require a large organization to build and are very easy for attacking armie...

Swedish sci-fi flick Aniara plays with the story line of a disaster aboard a colony ship making a routine run between Earth and Mars, and how it affects the crew and passengers. Being Swedish, it isn't afraid to ignore the Hollywood pacing and ending in favor of something a little more bleak. I'm st...

Oh, sweet.

Congrats! Yay for more pups on the board!

That is interesting. Filing away for later. Casein is something I've wanted to experiment with for a long time, but our prohibition of any allergens on our production equipment makes it pointless. The non-moldability is definitely a liability for packaging. The fact it's made using formaldehyde may ...

I'll take curtain #1 Monty.

They acknowledge getting the info from Ruger's website, but they missed that it says "rifle" right in the title of the page? And it's a "pistol" with a "long brace" that "looks similar to a rifle"...I feel that we are dealing with someone who knows how to string words together into a roughly gramma...

Veins. Mine. Into, plz.

Heya newbie.

Welcome. Hope you'll stay a while. This is a good place if you can stay engaged long enough to appreciate it.

Odds aren't good, however.

We'll see.

Saw Rapture-Palooza , which had the potential to be absolutely great, and there were some funny (IMO) parts to it, but for the most part they completely squandered the premise. The narrator and main character is a teenage girl named Lindsey, who was out bowling with her boyfriend Ben when the raptu...

I think Ivanka could continue the cult of personality if she wanted to, and keep Trumpism as a main lynch(ing) pin of republican politics for quite a while even if she and her meathead brothers never run for a government office.

My wife dreads Parent-Teacher night. Even doing it through Zoom this past year was a drag.

Other than invading Poland?

German officers and supply sergeants surely had umpteen checklists for moving all those people and supplies.

And it all happened on schedule.

Piggyback Petty Jealousy - my wife bought a new laptop for gaming, an Asus TUF-something; kinda middle of the road loadout, so she could play some more graphics-heavy stuff than the Don't Starves or Stardew Valleys she usually gravitates to.

I would watch.

You even use the original cast - they're all way past their prime, so might work for peanuts.

If you don't mind subtitles (or you understand Spanish), and enjoy mystery-horror stuff, then 30 Coins might be worth a look, on HBO Max. It's a little uneven in spots, but I'm enjoying it a lot. And it has an actress that has haunted me since I first saw her 20 years ago in Dagon - Macarena Gomez.

Personally, I'm Team Highway. If I didn't have a couple of minions that need to be physically in the lab to do their jobs, I'd be wfh a lot more.

As it is, I'm angling for a position (lateral move with broader responsibilities and better advancement opportunities) that will allow me that freedom.

Oh, I'm happy to hear that finally dropped. I'd heard about it a while ago. I was a fan of the PBS show and even read a few of his books afterward becasue of it.

Objectively, Limbaugh was the prototype for Trump. Yes, there were prototypes for Limbaugh, too, but these two profited enormously by being in the right place at the right time as they rode the waves of media and mass communications change. Limbaugh was, first and foremost, a clown in the pejorativ...
