Sorry, I couldn't resist I should be getting my first shot sometime in the next couple of weeks

It's too simple of a show. The secret bad guy is almost always someone they've already introduced. Haven't seen the episode yet so I should have more to say later.

RIP

Shock G. He was 57

Are they really fighting it though? From what little I've read there isn't a whole lot of support for it. We had something similar here in CO but I don't think they were getting the support they were hoping for because even though a few counties approved it the total numbers were against it. And that's in the areas that were pushing for it.

I think it would have in Trump's first 2 years but since I don't think we have any territories that are Republican leaning it was never on the menu.

Oh, you're being serious? I figured you were joking like I was when I said the Philippines

Puerto Rico next? Then maybe Guam, American Samoa, or the NMI. Maybe the Philippines wants to come back into the fold?

I'm glad that their taking an Enserric approach and making the sentient weapon be able to transform into any weapon. Better actually because I think his options were limited but still better than Lilarcor or the like that's locked into one form. That also solves one of the big complaints in the beta of there not being enough of X type of weapon to build around. Very cool.

I want to say it was like 125k for the birth and care of my son because he had to spend about a week the NICU. I had great insurance at the time but it was still like 5-7k out of pocket.

You're not missing much If you're interested in Tucker and if not it's an easy skip

Some things just go together. Like lamb and tuna fish, peaches and gravy, and white bread and cream of mushroom.

I've watched the first 3 episodes of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace thanks to @Chilloutman It's hilarious

Have you tried being rich? I highly recommend it I've been on a major hummus kick but last night I made some chicken thighs with cream of mushroom soup. It's a cheap recipe my mom used to make for me when I was a kid where you season and pan fry the chicken thighs until the skin crisps up nicely then dump that into a baking pan and pour in the cream of mushroom soup and bake for a bit. I made rice to eat it with but I much prefer generic US white bread like god intended. My son loved it but my wife not so much. She has a thing about pre-made soups and basically anything that comes in a can so this was never going to be a winner for her. My son and I broke out the white bread and polished it all off

But they can't just hire an expert?

I don't disagree and I'd actually be okay with banning all handguns even though I own a few. Something about how haphazard (not sure that's the right word) most assault weapon bans/proposals are bothers me. Like they don't have anyone that can read it over and be like this seems unenforceable and this is basically pointless or anything else. The obvious flaws and loopholes make me question if it's intentionally so or if they're just incompetent.

It actually doesn't make much difference. The firing mechanism and general operation is exactly the same E: Barrel length will actually make a difference but more in a target shooting way than in a mass shooting

A lot of "assault weapon" bans do focus a lot on the look of the guns as opposed to the function which is something I've always had a hard time with. For me it's a lot like breed specific legislation for dogs, typically "pit bulls" being defined by physical characteristics as opposed to genetics, and they both have a tendency for the worst people to gravitate towards them.

It really depends on where you're at. In my area there is a massive shortage of starter homes. Almost nobody is building new ones and existing ones often get replaced or upgraded with something that will bring in more money.

I actually just bought and sold a vacant lot in the middle of nowhere. I dabble in real estate investment but lately it's been absolutely crazy.

Now I'm curious if there are any reports of a good guy with a gun accidentally killing someone. Other than cops because I know that's happened. CO just passed a law making it mandatory to report a lost or stolen gun.

Now I want to go fire up an emulator and play Countdown to Doomsday

I believe they are using the Mandarin, the real one this time (and also trying to tone down the more problematic stuff), in place of Fu Manchu but I'm also not very knowledgeable on Shang-Chi

Yep, the plan was for her to have that role but she was supposedly not all that interested. I read somewhere that they kept reducing the role to try to make it work for her but in the end they just gave up and went with someone else (Visitor) playing a new character (Kira). Another interesting casting story was that they originally wanted Famke Janssen for Dax and even though she ultimately turned the role down they ended up using her spots from The Perfect Mate in the Trill redesign.

Watched a show called the Baker and the Beauty on Netflix. It's light standard rom-com fare if you're into to that and if you're not then it's an easy skip. We've also been slowly making our way through Better than Us which is also on Netflix. It's a Russian show about robots that's really, really heavy on the drama.
