All the angels used the best greeting...Norm!

I'll have a beer in your name tomorrow. My gf and I are watching through Cheers currently,only season 2 and it's all nostalgia. To be fair we don't really remember most of these early episodes but every episode feels like watching TV with my parents in the 80s to me.

Forget the value for sale offhand but yes you can harvest organs and replace them. Had to remove and put back in a brain when I played last.

We sure this isn't Captain Hindsight in disguise?

I keep forgetting that they were different companies from the stories, usually only saw EB games up here. After I typed this I looked and it appears I saw GameStop stores and not EB, oh well guess not much will change since I don't go to them anymore and mostly play on PC these days. Used to quite enjoy getting used console games back in the day from them though, whichever company it was.

When my special ballot hadn't shown up the local election office said that there is still a process to vote in person, you have to sign a statement saying you have not voted yet. It showed up the next day but according to them there is a process but they don't mention it unless it's really needed. It was last Thursday so I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to vote at all.

As long as it took me to really comprehend the rate of change thing and understand how calculus is that, until I read that sentence I didn't think of all the gravity parts impacting a stellar body and velocity in a direction being impacted by multiple forces. Mean I always knew the story of Newton inventing calculus for that but never clicked exactly how it related. The sad thing is it's a sort of thing I pondered a bit on but never quite made the connection.

Hah I always confused the name with that one with the episode Disaster (had to look it up Picard and kids winning something), no wonder I rarely watched it. Cause I'm pretty sure they go up ladders in turbolifts in that one so just thought that was that episode. But I recall liking the backwards people starting fires. To be fair I don't watch much TNG these days but still my favorite series by far (also haven't watch a series since Enterprise so may need to catch up).

Is that the one they start a fire in the area they're in and then get shown the replicator? If so that general one always stuck though been many years now, but don't recall the laughing offhand. I'll have to watch for Stewart laughing, I love those kinds of reactions.

I bought it cheap one sale in the last...oh five years ago or so (time is funny at this age) but I definitely had that experience. Sometime I want to get really into it to check I out but know I'll need to go invest in some training time to understand the mechanics to make the time seems relevant.

It reminds me of Gothic 1 really, it was brutal but a fun RPG, not as open as this one was(recall it being relatively small to even GTA 3 standards) but open for its era. Think I had to try killing a stupid mob for ages in that one, actually didn't get fa but it was done so well at the time.

I've used a PC with Kodi on it for my main tv for over a decade now, think I used it under it's previous name even. I've had few complaints, occasionally there's a video that won't play but works in VLC but that's pretty rare. Sometimes it doesn't pick up new videos properly but that's just expected for some file names.

Well we can't assume we know physics completely yet (or within bounds of the question) something down the road may open an idea or ability to generate more power than we know what to do with. If this was a game we may only been on the first or second step of a technology tree. Or we just aren't able to travel that far realistically, we have to overcome our idea of our species being singular and send out generation ships that go for ages (in human time) to explore more as a species, even if the originators (Earth humans) may never know the outcome.

Of course if we discover that much power we'd likely annihilate ourselves anyways, least with our current society.

I do mostly agree but I try and think of other possibilities since the universe is so vast.

What if I've been paying for years without incident? There's a thing where I can do autopay for mobile (Canada) where it's $10 off the bill. I always hate the idea of autopay but they've never overcharged a bill....so far. By years I mean it's been over a decade now.

Mostly curious if your stance still says no to this situation as well. I'll guess yes, but still it's $10 a month so adds up to almost a fast food meal these days lol.

For no perks I definitely agree, I pay my crap on time and takes like 5 mins a month to pay online.

Huh, I was only 11ish watching it, I think I thought the first one was scarier or had a darker tone, the pool scene was a bit scary for one, maybe it was the music? Also they seemed much more menacing in 1 but it could have been due to the slapstick comedy it was sandwiched with in part 2 that made it feel less frightening.

All that said, I ended up watching Nightmare on Elm Street too young so that may have skewed my interpretation of scary. Yes younger than Gremlins 2, but I also quite enjoyed Nightmare on Elm Street and watched them all (well not 2 as much), so maybe just my experience.

If you're a Star Trek fan the Voyager doctor is there for some comedy, if you're a Smallville fan Lyonel Luthor is there...has a decent cast for the movie it is. Oh and forgot Christopher Lee too heh.

Haven't watched it in years still.

I truely hope that remains our country's policy. What a great way to say it as well. We're all human and neighbors, living on this tiny (in a galactic sense) rock so let's make our corner of it accepting to those that want the same.

Been awhile since I saw that one but I do chuckle when I remember that bit, 'whats back there?...don't worry about it buddy'. Paraphrased cause it's been so long.

I remember thinking about when South Park was as old as Simpsons was when they made the joke of Simpsons did it, now South Park has really done it all too.

My dad was status native, I couldn't get that....now I'll say what is my recollection because it's been many years but I got the impression was because they (government...other? Unsure) disbanded the tribe for whatever reason that was. Mean I don't want to claim rights or anything but a shame of whatever the reason a tribe was to not recognize it means someone doesn't get those rights. I sort of thought it was cause my Mom was too white for many years, so sort of unsure. It's unfortunately too late to get specifics but think the band being disbanded was the reason and a poor one. Apparently he tried to get me those rights at least once but was denied.

Won't happen functionally, as it's designed to. I feel for the US citizens, they'll break it all. From Canada where they had a new system, Phoenix or something for payroll I think, it caused a lot of hassle and was probably well intentioned, unlike this, but I never read much on it.

He's a socially stunted bully (wait is that repeating myself?, not sure up to a certain age anyways) so yes, I think one of most satisfying wishes to make these days would be to give Trump self awareness and empathy.

Quick edit, like in the 90s Bedazzled movie with Hurley and Fraser where he asks to be sensitive.

Born in the late 70s, I barely read comics (wanted to buy candy, regret that now comics seem way better) but I thought about it recently and my favorite Marvel character is Spider Man, he was a geeky kid who rises up when given the opportunity. He excels at school and does his best to make his neighborhood better. There are few supers who were popular that had so many cartoons and a cheesy live action 70s show, heh I remember renting them thinking it was movies in the 80s.

If they bother to understand it that is. Base 10 is so simple for metric don't know why we haven't adopted it everywhere, I say that knowing weight in pounds and height in feet / inches, cause who wants to convert everything? But still, would have been better to understand that way from school teachings and used Canada wide.
