Don't you dare bring Abbott into this. I do not wish his bull shit on anyone else.

Well I'm pretty sure they're not the Jethro Tull type

Calm down Canada.

I can only hope that the anti solar groups are arguing in bad faith when they complain about how the sun works.

Either that or: they actually think that pro solar doesn't understand this fact or one of the two groups doesn't know how to pair solar with batteries.

When discussing frequency of an action, it's usually helpful to focus on per capita. This is one of those rare times where both raw numbers and per capita tell interesting stories.

Any Texan who votes for Cruz after the last 4 years is a loser already imo. dude blamed his wife and kids on go to Cancun when the state was freezing and people were dying. And left his dog to do it.

We don't. I'm giving it the best possible interpretation and even then, it makes him seem like severely mentally stunted

Basically, he's talking about rerouting the water coming from the Rockies that go into the Pacific and moving it into the drought ridden bits of California.... I think.

He's doing this with the phrasing you'd use to explain how the water cycle works to a toddler, mind you. So, if that's how he's trying to explain it to adults, that would suggest it's the only way he can understand it.

What about after the words "Everybody get up, it's time to" or "come on and"?

Maybe I'm biased but it didn't work against Abbott. He might not be kicking but he's still in charge.

Him, Abbott, Paxton, Patrick, Cornyn....

Sometimes you need a hard copy

So you're saying, when Trump says "most people" he means "me " but has to make it sound like he's not alone in any thinking ?

Idk..... That sounds a lot like commie talk and we can't cotton to that in the states.

/s but also not :( I wish the states had stronger labor laws that benefitted the worker and protected against exploitation

I'm just sad that the middle earth movies didn't include Tom Bombadil. Yeah, it would have severely interrupted the movie flow but that's kinda Tom's whole deal.

The Hearts in Atlantis movie is wholly different from the book and I really can't get myself to enjoy the movie even when trying not to compare because the underpinning plot drivers were removed. It would be like doing King's Insomnia as a movie and not including the little doctors.

It's complicated and a difficult tightrope to walk for people who enjoy both book and movie stories

And I wish that was the worst.

Just last week, we had a call about missing emails to an accounts payable account.

Emails weren't missing. They needed to scroll down in outlook to the shared mailbox folder.

There were 1400+ unread emails.

They hadn't noticed for a month.

MSP== managed service provider. Aka we're the it team for multiple small businesses.

Many of our clients have stuff that was out of warranty in the 1900s.

Did you know there was a 32bit version of Windows 10? Cause I didn't until one clients win xp machine finally died and the program they use can't run on 64bit os's. Lucky for the client that the guy who wrote the program was still willing to do some contract work to get us the installer and instructions. He'd been retired for about twenty years.

I never go into a movie expecting them to stay close to the book. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, each medium has it's own way to tell a story and you can't compare them equally

Like Tolkien, his writing style isn't for everyone. Some are drawn in by the madness and cosmic horror realized, others can't penetrate the veil and tune out. Then again, that's what's great about fiction and story telling. Finding what works best for you.

Honestly, there are very few adaptations that aren't cheesy or completely removed from the source material in somewhat major ways.

Take the Shining. Great film. Great book. The two should not be compared as if they were the same story.

Dreamcatcher on the other hand, no notes. Perfect in both versions. Especially the fact that the movie kept the shit weasels in.
