As far as chips go, I thought all the silicon used, world wide, was from a company, family held, in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Yeah, silicon is everywhere on Earth, but for some reason, the mostest purest silicon is from Spruce Pine. (Talk about your Family Values!) So maybe, 1) the USA can contro...

I'm hoping he makes to at least one reservation. Maybe I have read too much Tony Hillerman, but I think he'll definitely get food thrown at him.

No lights visible in his Old North Church, if you know what I mean.

She said that in future it would be necessary for businesses to become more productive and help British workers “up their skills and make [them] relevant” to the job market. I do wonder about this dynamic, equal and opposite reaction, and all that. Will employers realize their employees know Englis...

Sadly, life in 21st century America has failed to live up to 1960's TV in so many ways.

The Wild Wild West
The Night of the Inferno

If I have it correctly, this was the first episode, and guest starting a very young Suzanne Pleshette.

Why are all the WWW episodes titled "The Night of ..."? Did they sleep during the day? Were they vampires?

For those folks with Over-The-Air antenna access, the Decades channel has been running The Wild, Wild West episodes this weekend, I would imagine in memory of Robert Conrad who recently passed away. The shows and The Wild, Wild West movies continue through 6am (CST) tomorrow morning. (I'm not a big...

"Giri/Haji". Touching, funny, exciting, intricate. A Tokyo police detective goes to London to chase down his Yakuza brother who seems intent on triggering a gang war. I really try not to binge so my spouse and I are watching an episode every Friday. Just finished episode 6 and it just gets better an...

Good news! "Vera", "The Brokenwood Mysteries" and "Agatha Raisin" all have new episodes available, or will have soon. None of them fail to maintain the excellent quality of their histories. Otherwise, I am trying to watch the Walter Presents dramas that PBS Masterpiece is showing. If nothing else, t...

Obamas’ Production Company Wins First Oscar With ‘American Factory’ I didn't watch the ceremony; did the Obamas attend? They didn't attend. Barack Obama tweeted without mention his role at all, just pure congrats. "Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind American Factory, for telling su...

I'm sorry about going off in the weeds, but e.g. "We are following all Public Health England guidance in terms of practical next steps and we will be keeping our students and staff at the University informed if there are any developments." sounds like a genuine statement as opposed to "The Universi...

Hey GG, I was told that it was brutal when I mentioned that someone we know probably couldn't paint people. :- I never really got that. Is that a reference to "The Irishman", aka I hear you paint houses? Or was that George W. Bush whose painting skills are unequaled, if frequently surpassed? I thin...

My algorithm is all screwed up. Every morning I check my google news feed and today this popped up. It is a story from that renown science journal "Mashable India". (Just to be clear, it is entirely crap.) Earth Is About To Enter A 30-Year ‘Mini Ice Age’ As A 'Solar Minimum' Grips The Planet Accordi...

Last sentence from that story.

The Chiefs ended up winning Super Bowl 54 over the 49ers, 31-20.

Good to know.

Dolemite is My Name , a rosy-eyed, good movie about Rudy Ray Moore, who made horrible movies. As some critics have called it, Black Ed Wood . Snoop Dog had said that Moore was an influence on him (and rap in general), so it was nice to see Snoop in a few scenes. And oddly, Amazon Prime has a bunch ...

Well, you save a bit by replacing a couple of dozen trips to the store by various people in cars versus one guy in a truck (powered by natural gas, possibly). What appalls me is when I buy something from Amazon even though I've previously bought the same thing for less from someone else. Because It'...

And, then, Esquire (the landed gentry). Ah ha.... a lawyer cannot be President because Esquire is in the nobility order and no nobility in the US. Good thing Obama was disbarred retired from active practice before he ran. Is Mr. Esquire higher than Esquire? And can we ever have a president named Ea...

Is it animatronic? Does one arm flail around trying to spalm a gun? It should speak when people get near. "I have an appointment!" "You're gonna have to shoot me!" "You're wasting oxygen!"
