WannaBe: Bottom line: Don't just take/trust everything, do your own research/diligence. And see what the whole picture is.

WannaBe: It's a very simple/simply over-sight of testing before release. An anonymous tab or logout and checking would have caught this 'bug'. But we are 2026, not 2016... Accept it and move on. Nothing to see here. Take it and you will like it.

  WannaBe: End credits are totally worth it.

I give this movie a solid A. But for most younger viewers, the humour is 'lost'.

Funny as hell.

  WannaBe: One of the greatest joy in my life is the (BBC) Proms, especially the end, of Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory".

(Which Disney later turned into Fantasia 2000 as Daffy Duck's Ark)

However. Here is "Billy Joel" playing The Typewriter by Leroy Anderson.

  WannaBe: Learned something in'r'stin' today. For the longest time, I thought the whole state of Nevada alcohol sale is 24/7 and also you can gamble (casino) everywhere.

There is a city that is dry, no alcohol Panaca, NV, and interesting enough, gambling is also illegal.

The other city in NV that banned gambling is Boulder City. But I think purchase of alcohol 24/7 is allowed. Need to do some diggin'...

(Yes, prostitution is legal, but only in 2 counties, and the locale are so far out there, if you drive an EV, forget about the returning trip)

  WannaBe: Speakin' of alcohol (purchase) laws... One of the weirder/illogical "Blue Laws" (look it up, if you never hoid of it) was in South Dakota.

You can't buy liquor on Sunday in stores or local supermarkets. You can buy 10 kegs of beer to watch football, but a fifth of whiskey??? To the slammer you go.

Restaurants (Have to serve food)? No problem, get all the Jack 'n Coke (or as the locals' fav Seagram 7 and 7-Up) A few Blooody Marys to go with those Chicken Fried Steak & Biscuits and Gravy side? Okie Dokie.

So if you sell some bagged chips or have a small fryer and sell chicken strips and fries? Sell whatever liquor you want. (Yes, even microwaved pizza counted, this was before certain boxer came out with a grill. So burgers would have definited counted)

  WannaBe: Caveat(s):

2 of the 3 judges were appointed by Trump (years ago)

I live in an open carry state (NV), and besides police and security (stores, casino, people showing a badge, etc) never encountered a person openly carry a pistol or long gun (rifle)

I also have had owned a conceal carry permit while living in South Dakota.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles...

I (fully) expect this to reach the Supreme Court, how soon will depend on how many other cases are brought before the court in the next 3 years.

  WannaBe: Going down another one of them wabbit hole on YouTube.

James Morrison (never hoid of him) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-T...

Now, the trumpet is valved (so it's not a bugle), but he is playing the trumbone (slide) like it's a nuthin'. Without any slide (or valved, yes, there are trombones that have valves. I have funny stories about them from experience)

  WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed>

So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews...

And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much panned "Section 31"

  WannaBe: Remember, when Amazon "touted" these as the next shopping experience and how it linked to your Amazon account and just walk out with your cart?

Well, Pepperidge Farm does.

  WannaBe: Oh well, this definitely <SUCKS THE BIG ONE> for <OhioChessFan> and yours truly...

The commercials are (all??) available to view? What is the point of (spam) posting during the actual game commenting like Statler and Waldorf

  WannaBe: So, I will propose this question to <OCF>. I have not view (all) the video clips (via YouTube) in that link, should we still have running comment? This forum is of course open to posts.

[minor caveat, what led me to discover this link, is the Budweiser commercial with the bald eagle for 250 USA birthday/150 Budweiser birthday. So I have/did view one of the advertisement already.]
