It always amazes me, and not in a good way, how many former colonies have moved past almost everything from the colonial period except the sexual mores of those times.

I enjoyed him a bit, after all he was in Rocky Horror. But, sad that he ended his life as an anti-vaxxer idiot. What a way to destroy your own legacy.

Let the Right One In (The original swedish film is awesome.) The Big Lebowski \

In high school, we played star trek on the teletype which called the mainframe in Raleigh NC on an acoustic coupler modem. The teacher let us, but didn't like it because the game used a LOT of paper. Rogue on the Unix minicomputer when I got to college was probably the first real video game. When Hack came around, I thought it was a revolution. And probably nobody here knows what I'm talking about. That's the cost of being older than dirt in the computer gaming world, I guess.

I used to have some faith in mankind. The last few years cured me of it. Now I just hope we can avoid total disaster for a few more decades when I won't be around to see "The Walking Dead" happen in real life.

I hated such things in my youth, but strangely have come to enjoy them as I've gotten older. Not sure why I have more interest in hot guys beating on each other now than I did then, but there it is. Though strangely, it applies to this and MMA, not to typical boxing. I've been to watch most times I've visited and enjoyed it.

Good to hear it's real. Have seen the ad a few times.

Yes, Tom made a private group at one point to share some photos, but some asshole or other couldn't resist sharing it outside of the group, and that was the last of that. The Garotos deserve respect of their privacy too. That is probably a thread or a forum in itself.

Wow. Our bin stays outside, so frankly, I don't care if it stinks a bit. But then, I live in a house with some space, so I guess I have the luxury of a stinky garbage can.

Why any business would ever think this would end well boggles my mind.

I disagree with most of these "The government is just being stupid/selfish/crazy/mean." ideas. While Omicron seems noticeably less dangerous, how it plays out in hospitalizations and deaths remains somewhat to be seen. If it spreads ten times as fast, but is only as 20% as fatal as Delta, that still means twice the death rate of delta. Current evidence seems to suggest that it isn't going to be that big a problem. But, you cannot travel back in time and enforce measures to slow the spread if it proves to be a greater problem. The only rational decision you can make as a public official is to move towards strict anti-spread measures initially as the data comes in. You can always loosen measures as the data supports it. If the data supports tougher measures, and you didn't do them, well, by then its too late. Certainly, there can be debate as to what those are, but the suggestion that the only reason a government would use them is because they're power mad I think is more about all of our fatigue at Covid than it is a reasonable critique of policy.

I'm personally hopeful that Omicron is the last of it. It's highly contagious, but noticeably less dangerous. I think pretty much everyone is going to get it at one point or another, and that plus the vaccine should mean most of us can go back to normal.

Now you've intrigued me. What nations don't have any probate laws?

Wills are mandatory. That's what probate laws are. If you don't decide it's decided for you.

Fuck 2021.

I hire a personal trainer 3 days a week who works the fuck out of me. I'd imagine in Bangkok you could get the same with a special bonus when the workout was over....

Both the post and the times allow you to share subscriptions with another person, so I have one to the post that I share with my mom, and she shares her times subscription with me. Not a bad deal for us.

#2 more or less spawned an entire genre that is alive and vibrant today. I mostly don't find these lists that interesting since they always skew to the recent and are more popularity contests than anything. It's like asking "who is the best artist in the last 125 years?" It's a meaningless question that is just a vote on personal taste, never mind the mixing of different genres and forms of art/books. I have, however, also read #2 several times. 😀

Ditto. I went a bit before the pandemic took hold, and all the guys were on their phones ignoring everyone which was just as well because it wasn't an enticing crowd. I visit rarely enough that It may have gone through ups and downs I don't see, but it was definitely down last time.

That's a relief! Tyranny and fascism seem to be spreading around the globe these days.

I hope Simon in Myanmar is doing ok in the midst of all their madness. He was a fabulous guide for me. I was hoping to go back and see more of the country... Maybe some day.

I read a review that persuaded me. It basically asked, "what is the point of rescuing this film by remaking it?" That struck a chord with me. I don't really have much interest in watching it. Maybe if it comes to one of the streaming services I have, but I am not going to the theater for it, nor to pay to rent it.

Yes, I expect Omicron to put a screeching halt to much of the openings, given its ability to breakthrough current vaccinations.
