We did Trials and Tribble-ations and Far Beyond the Stars to win over our converts. This was mostly just playing to the audience's sensibilities and I was trying to sell them on Sisko more than the show itself.
Netflix for us too. I used to have all the seasons on DVD but they got swiped a long time ago. We do skip some episodes occasionally and Move Along Home always but we generally watch most of a season and it takes us months to get through the whole show.
Now if only I can get around to watching the last episode of Elementary. I think part of what's holding me back is that I can imagine how the show could tie everything up satisfactorily in only one episode.
I saw that that other "bought last" thread was closed and I couldn't find a new one. I have been drinking so my inability to find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I bought the new Xpac for LOTRO, Minas Morgul.
I don't think holding office for a very long time is bad in and of itself but I don't think it's a positive either as I'm also not seeing how being in office for 30 to 60 years has any innate advantages. Even if we can move to 100% publicly funded elections (and especially if we cannot) I do think that term limits would still have a beneficial effect though I don't have any sort of proof to support my ideas. Ideas which are generally the same pro term limit arguments you'll find anywhere.
I tend to think of them as different issues generally. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting as much money out of politics as possible too and I think both need to be accomplished to get any meaningful change.
I think I read somewhere that the average length of time in congress is about 10 years so I'd probably cap it at no higher than 20 years. Though I'd also be for letting terms that would run a little longer continue on. Example would be someone with 15 to 19 years experience ( and assuming a 20 year limit) winning a senate race that would keep them in office to 21 to 25 years and they would be done after that.
Not really
A small anti-climate change activist group writing a letter to the UN doesn't really mean much of anything and has even less to do with the scientific consensus on the issue.
Laphroaig is pretty good but I prefer Lagavulin 16 year. My second favorite is a blended Scotch, The Peat Monster. My wife says it smells like an old dirty sock but I say it's delicious.
I don't remember exactly what I did this last time or most of time and also just in general. I think that I used backspace over a portion of selected text or delete on my phone. I'll try to pay more attention next time but that post was definitely posted via mobile.
I'm on the Kochs are evil side but I didn't want to publicly celebrate one or both of their deaths. I'm sure they maybe had some one that probably loved them who might be grieving.
I can't seeing anyone defending the legacy that's been left behind though
