I really like Gladiator (1992) which is an underground boxing film with James Marshal, Cuba Gooding Jr and Brian Dennehy.

James Marshal is a young boxer who’s dad hits hard times and moves to a rough area where he gets dragged into the underground boxing scene.

Some people expect prices to go down when inflation is “fixed” but that doesn’t happen.

I used to work on an old DOS product and we didn’t have a debugger so we used to have a DEBUG command line argument with

if (DEBUG) printf(“debugging”);

to try to see what was happening and the number of times that code alone fixed the problem was scary.

It didn’t take long but they have fixed that now. You can’t do a dot as you have to draw a circle around the dot they have.

I don’t get that mindset. Why is it ok to shoot through people to get to the bad guys?

If the police did that when criminals took hostages it wouldn’t be acceptable so why is it acceptable for Israel?

They are responsible for their own votes but if the politicians aren’t able to sell their ideas then the blame is also on them.

I blame Brexit on those that voted leave but I also blame the remain campaign for sleepwalking into the Brexit referendum and not doing enough to counter the leave campaign’s lies.

We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.

Once they pay that fine, Russia will be sorted.

Yes.

Unfortunately, those solutions aren’t acceptable because we have to think about the shareholders and the politicians who like the lobbying money.

At this point climate scientists are like the boy who cried wolf except there’s a huge fucking wolf that everyone can see but nobody wants to admit to in case they are asked to pay to find a solution.

It is arbitrary, yes. Part of the reason for daylight savings time was simply to match most people’s waking hours to a standard time throughout the year.

You can make the time that you have more useful though.

There are activities that you can do in the dark and some that you can’t do in the dark. I imagine that they wanted to sleep in late which was cutting into hunting time so they changed the time zone so that it was dark while they were sleeping and light a bit later to allow for more hunting.

It’s why we have daylight saving time.
