My response to this is usually "Do you have curtains?"
Very late edit: I have found it very effective. It causes pause for thought because everyone values privacy, they just find it hard to picture themselves needing it. Curtains.
I honestly have been blown away by how cinematic the 4K Blu-ray experience is. The new Dune ones are on the list to get. I'd say they're great. Lord of the rings too.
I'm up to 7 in my collection now and definitely will be continuing to add to it.
No OLED here yet but next TV I will definitely pony up the extra for it.
I got gifted a 4K Blu-ray player for Christmas. Immediately bought Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) then sat down with my older kids to watch it with popcorn etc.
There was such a buzz in the room when she delivered that line.
Have to recommend the 4K Blu-ray experience if you're a fan. The detail honestly shocked me.
Edit:
I mean next to Ripley, the android and the little girl, she's the most memorable character in that movie.
The casting is great.
I think Paul Riser did a great job as the slimy company man Burke. He was very believable.
Michael Bien was great as Hudson Hicks too. The exchange between himself, Ripley and Burke about nuking the site was great.
Ireland ticks most of your boxes. If any of your grandparents are Irish you can get dual citizenship. English speaking and lots of cultural crossover etc.
Closer for trips back too. Think it's only a 5 hour flight to New York for example.
I have children that wouldn't mind being called a slur for half that money. White children. Bet that could really raise some dough from the white nationalist lunatics.
I've been the young dad at school and now I'm the old dad. There are 21 years between our youngest and oldest. I wasn't quite your age when we had our happy little accident but I'm so happy to have him and it sounds like you are too.
I'll offer one piece of advice and that is to start looking after your health if you're not already. You're going to want the extra, high quality years with your kid that good diet and exercise bring and being fit really does help with the parenting adventure (in my experience anyway).
Enjoy the ride! It's so much fun. I'm really happy for you.
Agree with everything you've said. They only thing is China has been contesting a North Eastern border with India for some time so they might take the opportunity for some shenanigans.
Still don't see it escalating beyond regional though as you said.
An I remember that one. It's good. I'll see your solid paddywhackery and raise you this (which I honestly pissed myself laughing at the first time I saw it).
She married an Englishman and raised her kids there because Ireland in 1980 was not exactly thriving. She was around 20 when she left so definitely old enough to feel thoroughly Irish for a lifetime. She still has her accent and all.
She does talk about moving back here occasionally.
You don't have to but I wouldn't naturalise in her situation either. Under no circumstances would I pledge allegiance to a country that I felt wasn't mine and if I had a green card I wouldn't bother.
That's not to say I might not feel that way about another country in the future but as I said my sister has been living in the UK for over two thirds of her life and would never consider getting a British passport. Even her adult daughter chooses an Irish one.
If you don't mind me asking why bother with the dual citizenship? And did you feel any weirdness pledging yourself to the second country?
