I’m just pointing out that there is no corroborating evidence. As for what the mother witnessed afterwards, we still only have the sister’s book, not any direct statements.

Douglas may well have raped her, that would have been in keeping with the times and the power dynamics.

Natalie’s sister alleges that he did, but as far as I know there has been no corroborating evidence or other testimony.

I was married already when I met my now wife. My first wife lived overseas and we hadn’t been together for about 8 years.

Our two children lived with me, but we didn’t have a separation or legal custody agreement. Doing all of that internationally, getting all the documents professionally translated, court dates, etc. was extremely challenging.

So we waited several years until both kids were legally adults and we just had to deal with the divorce (which itself took almost 3 years) before making things official.

That said, my case is much less typical than a guy just lying about his domestic circumstances.

Vehicles are much more complicated than alcohol, though. There are assembly plants and parts suppliers on both sides of the border, and there is a transfer back and forth about six times in the production of a single vehicle. There is no way that Canada could simply ban American vehicles without jeopardizing our parts manufacturers as well.

Well you should check out Kaos, a dark comedy on net6 featuring Jeff Goldblum as Zeus. Definitely flawed Gods there!

doctor Clean your teeth Hmmm. Something isn’t adding up for me. I think the joke works much better if it’s your dentist!

Brooks Moore, one of the senior technical managers for U.S. space programs, including Mercury and Apollo.

Saint John, New Brunswick also used to have a terrible smell from the pulp mill. Last time I was there I didn’t notice it, so maybe they have cleaned it up.

It’s specific to chemicals used in the Kraft process for making wood pulp. Other Mills might use at different process, with their own issues (like SO₂ gas).

It sure sounds like you have never lived anywhere else in your life, certainly not anywhere in the developing world. It’s hard to conceive how much worse life is in a lot of places, unless you have lived there. Granted that people who can afford international student fees are in the upper class of most poor countries, but it doesn’t take away from the very real increase in the standard of living.

It’s the DVD set. And since I am in Canada, postage would be outrageous, at least $20-25.

When a video store near me was shutting down. I picked up the entire boxed set for $5 or $10. I don’t think I even made it through the first episode. I still look at it and think, “maybe I should rewatch this classic show”.

I like weird. I don’t like stupid weird.

My only meeting was that the “they” who revolutionized gaming are not the same people who are in the company now. I have no doubt that they are absolutely top-tier game developers.

John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, John Romero, Tom Hall. These were the founders of ID software. None of them are there now. It’s a different company.

That’s not to say that Microsoft isn’t stupid and evil for this and many other things, but they didn’t lay off the people who revolutionized the game industry.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks! I even checked with the Omni calculator and it checks out.

I just watched this movie last night. I thought it was trying to be Disney. Cute alien sidekick, happy ending. Not much tension, because it was obvious that they were going to survive and save the day. I kept hoping for a shocking loss, but it never came. Or when it came, it turned out not to be a loss after all.

There were some really good elements in the plot, the science waved its hands in just the right places to make it plausible, and the visuals were spectacular. Gosling did very well as the only person in the majority of the movie.

One thing bothered me: they were at Tau Ceti, 11.9 light years from earth, but the return trip was only going to take 4 years and change. How did that work?

That makes me think of Peter Sellers’ in-movie scene at the beginning of The Party. I love this movie when I was a kid, but I suspect that an English comedian in brownface playing an Indian would not go over so well these days.

The first link you supplied is indeed about Graves that have been discovered. It doesn’t look like this is related to the stories that caught all the headlines five years ago. Ground-penetrating radar, anomalies that might be graves, etc.

It is somewhat mystifying to me why some people are resisting the process, saying that they wish the site to remain undisturbed. If they don’t know for sure that it is a burial site, why would it be sacred?

My wife’s Ioniq 6 turns on the brake lights when it is doing regeneration braking, so you are misinformed (unless it is a recent change; hers is a 2025). I can’t imagine that your version has ever been true, though.

One thing I don’t understand is why there has been no progress in excavating at least some of the anomalies that were reported as being possible graves. There has been federal government money supplied, and in at least one case it has been cut because of a lack of accountability.

The article doesn’t explain why, as far as I can see, not a single grave has been examined from any of the sites.

The VPN works because you can use the service in another country that doesn’t require digital ID.
