Sure, but they didn't kill him once he was in custody either. At least, not yet. I guess there is still time.

They also threw out a stat of 65% of people being lactose intolerant, which I think is rubbish. School children should have a pretty decent tolerance for lactose. As I understand it, most of us become less tolerant as we age. That being said, avoiding all the highly processed crap would be great.

That reason is because it is a fantastic movie.

Yeah, the public and the media are going to make it hard for him to get away with it. The 9-minute video of him slowly killing the guy doesn't help, either.

China isn't going to invade Taiwan. They don't have a track record of doing things like that. They will find another way to take it if they want it.

What you've done today - The Edge of Night
I had some water heater issues last month. The pilot light kept going out. I could relight it, and it wasn't a gas issue, so I called the plumber who installed it. The unit was only about 18 months old, so it was still under warranty. Turns out the control panel had some bad fuses or something, but the replacement parts were back ordered, so he ended up replacing the entire unit. It was good for a few weeks, and then yesterday it was completely off. Like, no blinking light saying there was an issue. So I'm like, where is the power to this thing? Is it a breaker switch issue? WTH? I called the plumber again (after a cold shower) and he said it is not wired into anything. He ran me through a couple steps and I was able to relight it. But now I'm like, how does this thing get power? Mysteries of home maintenance.

Strike Three... the 2021 Baseball Thread
Baseball has such good stories. Lamonte Wade Jr. woke up this morning in Sacramento in the minors, got the call to make the 90-minute drive to San Francisco, and then got his first taste of centerfield in a super windy ballpark. He didn't even have time to practice out there. On top that he went 2-3 and helped the team win.

It looks like the Christian version of the latest popular movie genre. Where is Kirk Cameron?

Strike Three... the 2021 Baseball Thread
I don't mind it when my team wins, but it is fake baseball when they lose. 😉 I don't know, I hated it at first but now it is growing on me, just like the DH grew on me last year. Other sports have changed their OT's as well. The shootout is fun to watch but has very little to do with the sport of hockey. At least they are still playing baseball in extra innings instead of a home run derby. It speeds up the game, saves wear and tear on the players, is completely fair since both teams get the same advantage, and it does ratchet up the tension. We will just have to wait until the playoffs to get our 18 inning grindfests in.

My daughter was watching Labyrinth yesterday and asked why they didn't make any more movies in the setting. I tried to explain to her that Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal for some reason just didn't do well at the box office. It is hard to explain when we live in a world where basically every kids movie is a massive hit. Poor Jim Henson.

I had the same reaction to Breathedge. I liked it enough to get to the second act, but leaving behind the whole area kind of killed what Iike in these crafting games. Plus the humor was off for me. I don't regret buying it, but it is not Subnautica.

Strike Three... the 2021 Baseball Thread
Opening day is always a bit funny. I went to bed last night and the Giants were up 6-1 after 7 innings, and the Mariners had only managed 2 hits. Woke up to see they lost 7-8.

Opening Day! I'm enjoying watching the Giants.

There is some real mental gymnastics happening on that one. What is your point in posting this?
