In unrelated news, the pilot had a documented addiction to polonium.
It crashed into a missile that was just looking at a cathedral.

If the Democrats are like a flood of sewage that comes unbidden into your home, the Republicans are like you constructed a sluice specifically to pipe it in.

This isn't standard. Nothing about that vehicle is standard.
If it's for lugging tools, get a van. They're safer and better for the job.
If it's for camping, get a van.
These trucks make no sense, other than financially to car companies.

Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need
I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.

Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?
Reply in thread
That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It's not an experience I'd be excited to repeat.

Who are some of your favorite non-recurring Star Trek characters (2 episodes or less per series)?
Don't know if he's my absolute favourite, but I love Timicin from TNG's S04E22 "Half a Life". He's a good, dedicated and kind man who would have been a great long-term partner for Lwaxana Troy, but for the fact that he is about to commit ritual suicide as he's about to turn 60 as a part of a culturally enforced practice called The Resolution.
Played by David Ogden Stiers, he has great chemistry with Majel Barrett, and their relationship is a believable one. He's a man torn between challenging his society for the chance to keep living in order to save it (he's the lead scientist trying to stabilise their sun) while finding love with Lwaxana, and not rocking the boat and simply doing what's expected of him.
And of course, in the end, >!he chooses to die!<.

Even if you could prove it, it would still go badly in a lot of places in a lot of times.

What's the best game you played this year (that didn't come out this year)?
Super Mario Odyssey. It's mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

The Good Wife - binge watch question
Can't speak to overall issues, and haven't watched it since it originally aired, but there was somewhat infamous friction between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, to the point where they would not appear in a scene with each other. The scene in the final episode (or near it, I don't exactly remember) in which they appear together at the bar is assembled from separately shot footage.
I think it mostly suffered from the standard network TV show issue of not having a real plan beyond "as many episodes as possible".
