I never knew of the existence of an "Isreal Day" parade. Is there any other country focused parades out there? I don't recall there being a British Day parade or Mexico day parade.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Amazing world building and visuals that was destroyed by terrible casting and wooden acting.

It's probably something comically small. Like $5k. Most politicians are cheaper than we think.

Dredd

That movie was killed by poor marketing that played up nothing but the 3D aspect of it. They even named it in the trailers as Dredd 3D.

All they had to do is air the first 30 seconds of the movie as a trailer and it would have been off to the races...

Don't forget, the Republicans are the ones in power right now. If they wanted to, they can change the rules of the senate to pass the budget with a simple majority instead of the current 60 vote requirement. This shut down is all on them.

I enjoyed it. Great cinematography and practical effects. My wife? Not so much. She broke it down as.. "oh look! They drove away! Then the drove back! The end! That was the whole movie!"

Me too. By the time a movie or TV show actually makes it to distribution, most people who worked on it have already made their paycheck and moved on to the next project.

Depends who you talk to. I know a guy in construction who has had to patch bullet holes in several LEO houses. Also at the sport men's club I'm a member of, the only shooting injury we've had was from a state trooper during a training excercise. You're point is valid, though. NDs are supposed to be minimalized through training and adherence to the 4 gun rules. These guys are morons.

Trump's name already besmirced one of my go to card games, euchre. This will just be yet another thing he altered with his reverse midas touch.

Yeah, and they also changed the language around radioactive material and the amount allowed in the ground water. It WAS zero. Now it's best effort.

Yeah, it's not my intent to make what amounts to an ignorant comment. My thought has always been that Cinco de Mayo and St Patrick Day celebrates cultures - not blatently stating that it's a "country" celebration.. The title of this parade, from an outsider looking in, doesn't seem to emphasize the culture, but rather the country.

Around my area, we have the Polish Day Parade. The point to celebrate the Polish culture. In this case, calling it an Isreal Day Parade seems to bring the country as the subject, not the culture and not the Jewish religion.

I agree with everything you said except that Trump wasn't just a member of the child raping demon club.. He was helping run and supply it.

I had a problem with my Bluetooth mouse where it would the device would have a tiny half second lag when moving it after sitting still for about 10 seconds. It took me a lot of on and off troubleshooting before I found out that Windows was putting the Bluetooth driver itself into sleep mode. Don't ask me why Microsoft decided the default of that a Bluetooth driver needed to be put to sleep while plugged.. But I'm sure those milliamps of power really improved performance /s

Do you have more information about the thing you describe around Detroit?

The problem I have with this is that many speed limits on Illinois highways as set artificially low at 55. This makes for the "super speeder" even easier to apply to people. The only ones that are going to with with this law are the companies that install and monitor these devices

The text book industry inflated the cost of everything by making things huge, with mostly meaningless full color pictures everywhere. Go back 100 years and compare the size of a math book to present day. Math hasn't changed a whole lot but the size and weight of the books certainly has.

What makes you think these are new hires? The guy who shot Renee Good was an 8 year veteran of ICE. They removed all the guard rails and all of are acting with impunity.

I wonder if a laser of some sort could mess up the camera sensors

Those wealthy assholes want a crash so that they can buy everything when it's cheap. They are getting everything they have ever wanted at record speed.
