They also play college football, mostly in the North. I understand the quality of play is about D3.

Otherwise, whimsically hoping the show low-key transitions into basically being a prequel to the expanse.
After the finale, I think they're on their way, though possibly with less Protomolecule. I also don't know if my expectations have just been re-leveled, but the human drama this season felt less soapy. Less Danny, more Dani, that probably helped.
Why? More than anything other film I’ve seen … this felt like a poor cover band doing a poor cover that didn’t need to exist.
Mostly agreed, but IMHO a better sendoff than Crystal Skull, which literally tried to delete magic from that universe.
Discovery is almost more interesting as a meta-text at this point, though I think it takes more guff than it deserves. The tonal (and temporal) whiplash is a window into the creative process and audience feedback the churn of writers and shifting directives from Paramount.
Only one thing is constant: MICHAEL BURNHAM'S DRAMAWHISPERS!
The books are really good, but TBH it's not the end of the world if you don't catch them right away. For its milieu, the show is even better than the books are for theirs. There is the usual extra detail, deeper insight, and unlimited budget of the books, but the casting and performances really elevate the show, and a few characters (Drummer, Ashford, and Errinwright come to mind) come out of the adaptation process really well. People go on about how great it was that the authors were involved in the show, and that's true, but critically, they understood that a different medium needs slightly different things.
I'm not an audiobook person, but if you are, I understand the ones for The Expanse are absolutely top-notch.
A few stores, in my area it’s particularly clothing discounters, seem to have moved to that model, and as long as you plan your checkout areas even sort of halfway well, it’s a million times better.
And god what a sad death Fry’s had. It went from the bona fide nerd store to a disaster. Eventually the ones in Dallas-Fort Worth were just zombie husks riding out the leases and selling leftovers on consignment from the few manufacturers who couldn’t be bothered to come repossess the inventory after the store failed to pay their invoices.
But it's missing The Last Jedi, which is unironically the best Disney era Star Wars.
Stepping away from tilting at my personal windmills, Rebels was Disney era and got to be at least as good as TCW.
"Tolerable upper intake" is based on more than a single does. One gram would almost certainly be fine. There's some slightly sketchy 1940s "fuck them lab-rats" science going on, but some scientists at Cambridge guesstimated it would take making it into a significant side-dish or main course to REALLY fuck you up:
It is questionable what factor should be taken to convert doses used for rats to the corresponding doses for man, but the ratio of 75 taken from the relative food intakes of the 100 g. rat and 70 kg. man would seem reasonable. If we take 100,000 i.u. of vitamin A as sufficient to cause immediate illness in the rat, then about 7,500,000 units should cause illness in man. This amount would be present in 375 g. of bear liver containing 20,000 i.u. of vitamin A/g., not an excessive portion to be eaten at a single meal.
That was added in 1981 when it popped back into theatres after Empire. It was not original, but it was a very early addition, and since ESB came out in the interim as Episode 5 from the get-go, very much a retcon in the George style.
True, and I suppose that's a certain filter of its own. I suppose the main thing that makes me roll my eyes is that having done SETI by half measures for a handful of decades, the article is asking if it's time to assume that the rather presumptuous (though not absurd) zoo hypothesis is "the answer".
This all is what it is. The results so far imply virtually nothing about anything, except I suppose that there is not a very close civilization intentionally listening for our types of signals and eager to communicate back.
Q is a little bit nervous about Floridaman Santa being his upstairs neighbor. Go Gators.
Sounds like they specifically lingered on it a couple of times. This one looks like it's going to just kind of be a compressed version of the cartoon, which could be a lot worse, as we all know. Hopefully it's respectful and mostly consistent, and people who find they just need to know more can go back and watch the Nick series. Even if that leaves it sort of "slight" for those already invested, it will have value. Fingers crossed.
