They aren't doing it to be nice. They are doing it so they continue to have people come in for eggs (with some confidence of supply) and then stay to buy other stuff as well.

I feel like mental health support and reducing the number of Americans with guns (because mah freeduhms) would be a better use of the funding.

Still remember the loss of the Derbyshire when I was a kid.

Single State to Orbit ain't happening.

More than 40.

Not sure why you got a downvote, 'cos it is true.

Paracetamol is bad for anyone in anything exceeding the stated dose. Would not be licensed for over the counter use these days.

No, assume it is dangerous -- THEN check the alarm.

Remove your animals from the premises immediately until a professional identifies and rectifies the source. Significantly elevated CO *will* kill you and your pets.

This feels an awful like PR shilling.

I've seen quite a bit of discussion - I haven't seen that many that seem to like it, tbh. Haven't seen it myself, so can't comment.

I think most of the backlash against those movies (particularly Ghostbusters) was that they were absolutely terrible movies.

GB, for instance, didn't fail because of sexism -- it failed because of absolutely horrible writing and performances.

I don't feel like anyone can vote for a right-wing extremist and then abdicate responsibility for it. We have been down that path before.

The people who voted for Trump were simply grossly misguided.

I suppose there is some truth in that, but the voters can't really wash their hands of the choice.

Other than the giant part of the population that voted for him, presumably? Extreme right-wing populations vote in extreme right-wing governments.

He is the gift that keeps on giving.

78 is still old, even these days. Pretty much bang on male life expectancy at birth (and only 3 years or so under life expectancy of someone who reached 25).

I've noticed people have developed weird ideas about what constitutes being old the last few years.

Quantum communication (instant communication over an arbitrary distance) isn't possible.

I had an IBM branded one. It looked the shizz.

And nothing of value was lost.

Sounds about right based on the almost universal positivity about the series.

That honestly isn’t what I have observed. Most of the complaints I have seen largely are concerned with the quality of writing and storytelling.

Anecdotes are just anecdotes though. The only people I know in real life (i.e. not the internet) thought it was absolute rubbish. Whose anecdote is more likely to represent the larger cohort of viewers? I have no idea.

Could be that a lot of people just don't like it. That's OK, as it is OK that some people do.
