  1. Henry Ford II taking credit for Lee Iacocca's work. Lee was told not to do it but he set up a secret team that worked off hours out of a since demoished hotel in Dearborn. Regarding Apollo 13 Grumman, who made the Lunar Module, sent North American Aviation an invoice for towing the Command and Service Module.
  2. To me it's a mathematical certainty that there's some form of life out there.
  3. The crew of Apollo 16 took this photo of earth about an hour after their trans lunar injection burn. Lakes Michigan and Superior are visible in the middle around 3/4 the way up.
  4. Just get the **** out of here with this bull****. Nobody wants to read it. It’s beyond parody and indefensible and unintelligent. Post all you want but understand everybody is laughing at what you say. There is a terrorist running our country and you support and defend him so that makes you a terrorist lover. No different than Bin Laden.
  5. was it in a movie or TV show or video game or commercial? But.... it's not like people are unaware of music before their time. ONe person could have liked it and then word spreads.
  6. The two that stand out from memory that I really liked were called Be Right Back and another with Aaron Paul called Beyond the Sea.
  7. This refers to The Last of Us. Black Mirror is anthology though. When we started to watch it, we picked episode 1, and we quit after a few minutes. Then we watched other episodes and "got it" and went back and watched. Once you realize the nature of the show it makes it easier to stomach and get into. I've heard this from others that for some reason their very first episide may not have been the best one to figure out the show's structure.
  8. what do you think the state of the Tigers would be on April 16 if I told you they would be 3-5 in Skubal/Flaherty starts.
  9. I have nothing to back it up but I bet hus casino bankruptcies were either intentional or due to cheating.
  10. The Nick Offerman episode is one of the greatest TV episodes ever.
  11. But socialism....
  12. Boxing decided to go hard niche and stay with the PPV format. They have a very strong core following though. I stayed with it until the early 2000's when it was on HBO every Friday. Then kids....
  13. I assume their only consideration at this point is whether they have someone better vs can we extract anything more of value from someone who's getting paid by us one way or another. Personal feelings about saving face don't enter into the calculations. Make a decision when you have to.
  14. I'm worried about that with The Last of Us. And being a Star Wars and Marvel fan with all the TV shows it's hard to keep up.
  15. Man that was the golden age with those 4 guys. My best friend is a boxing nut so I rely on him to tell me when to watch.
  16. I looked at pictures of her and I don't see it. I watched The West Wing in real time and probably 3-4 times since then.... and to this day I never could figure out which character his daughter played. I mean... I know her name and all of that but when I'd see her on the screen I wouldn't pick up that it was her. The first thing my wife ever said to me was "Do you know who you look like...?" When I was younger with more hair I would be told constantly I looked like Charlie Sheen. Last few years it's migrated to Matthew Perry.
  17. I much prefer the "one episode a week" cadence. It makes for better viewing and you can absorb things better without moving on to the next one. And I like the anticipation. We've had company since Thursday so haven't had a chance to watch TV yet. Have to catch up on Last of Us and Black Mirror.
  18. Ok, it's "regulated" but still meaningless, as is non GMO.
  19. And… dumber.
  20. You aren’t wrong. And thinking about it during scouting there really was no reason to be alone with a kid or group of kids. Even at a camp it’s just an issue of safety if you go on a hike or swimming or whatever. Between leaders and parents the ratio was probably 3:1.
  21. I believe every word of it.
  22. There is absolutely no regulation or standard regarding using the word "organic". It's a meaningless word.
  23. The way it was implemented wasn't to tell the kids it had to be that way but for the adults to pay attention. So I wouldn't tell a kid to leave or whatever, but rather "Hey, follow me, let's go over there to where Dave is." I'm not even sure they knew it was a rule.
