- Put all the money in, lets roll ’em again.
Looking over some news sources, it seems there is a bit of a theme today – a second (or third or fourth) chance. Here is what I mean…
- Tebowmania…part 2 (or 3). I remember the first round. And the endless stream of jokes. I fear this won’t give us as much material.
- The media get to recycle all their “AIN’T NO OXYGEN TANKS IN INDIA!” stories – just substituting “Sudan” in for “India”. Sustainable news!
- Arab Spring, part deux? Maybe the French could volunteer to dive-bomb some villages!
- Second chance for high tax TEAM BLUE areas to pass the costs to others?
Reruns and second chances abound. Comment time is another.
“I fear this won’t give us as much material”
Well he is getting laid now…
He was blacklisted just as much as Colin Kaepernick.
They were both hung out to dry?
More than Kap.
Kap got millions from Nike for bravely pulling a publicly stunt after his playing had tanked.
SALT. Russians! Missiles! Oh No!
What? Not missiles?
The, what are we talking about?
I doubt Sudan could replace India in the national discourse. Way, way fewer connections to Sudan than to India.
Darfur was a big deal back in the day.
Only because of Clooney.
And one of those neocon asshats spearheaded the Sudan split in order to , Samantha Powers maybe? I think to stick it to China.
#Obligation2Bomb!
At my church in Minnesota we had a good sized contingent of Sudanese. They were Nuer ethnically.
They summarized the class system in unified Sudan:
1) Arab Muslims. They are top dogs, live primarily in the North, and want all the oil that happens to be in South Sudan.
2) Black Muslims. The Arab Muslims look down on the Black Muslims.l Darfur is mainly Black Muslims
.
.
.
3) A very very distant third are the Black Christians. They are primarily in the South.
As soon as South Sudan got independence, the two main South Sudanese black tribes went at each other’s throats (Dinka people vs Nuer) as is tradition.
I wish them all the best, but the US should keep out aside from privately funded missionary work.
I tried to do the math, deaths over population. I’m guessing getting hit by drunk taxi driver is more likely.
2600/40,000,000? .0065? If an average of 1% die every year the virus shows up as death at a kid’s birthday party.
Dog Money!
Most people will learn more from this rap than any college course will teach you.

That’s just fantastic.
“welding oxygen” and “medical oxygen” have no meaningful difference anymore. Most high purity oxygen worldwide is now produced via cryogenic separation, so there’s no real difference. There may be a few really crappy areas where older tech is used that I don’t know about, but in general, everything nowadays meets all the meaningful medical (and aviation) specs.
OTH – let’s make sure that industrial nitrous oxide can not be used for for food or “recreational” use.

Talk about educating us on Animal husbandry….
They intentionally add sulfur to it.
WTF? I had no idea.
Prohibitionists gonna prohibit.
If you use it for food you can, naturally, go through the man and get yourself a permission slip along with the man checking up on you.
You can still buy “whippets” (aka “whip-hits”) at the fancy cooking stores, right? Asking for a friend.
For those of you who don’t know, foodservice DIY whipped cream dispensers are powered by nitrous oxide modules which are (IIRC) identical to the CO2 modules used to power some airguns.
Yeah, because they cost a small fortune.
But if you own an ice cream shop or bakery or the like you can buy in reasonable size. Price difference similar to what restaurant pays for C02 for its soda fountain compared to a SodaStream canister.
When a problem comes along, you must whippet.
Wouldn’t “the whippet” prevent future problems. Just speculation, of course
I think my reference is from after Fourscore’s time. 🙁
Price difference similar to what restaurant pays for C02 for its soda fountain compared to a SodaStream canister.
How I fixed that issue
I bought an oxygen concentrator for home medical use so I don’t need prescriptions or bottled O2.
That way if my asthma is nuts, I can do nebulizer treatments and wear a little supplemental O2 on my schnozz until it gets better.
I looked at the home O2 bottle fillers for my aviation oxygen system, but ended up just making a cascade filling system using 2 200 CF cylinders (someday I may go to 3 for better efficiency if I end up using a lot of O2).
But with only a slim majority in the House, some Democratic lawmakers have threatened to withhold their votes for Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure program unless the administration backs eliminating the cap. A White House spokeswoman has said Democrats need to figure out how to replace the revenue shortfall of doing that if they want to move forward.
Fuck you. Cut spending.
They can’t spend the money fast enough. They still haven’t spent all the money authorized in the first COVID bill.
The world is full of unscrupulous people perfectly willing to make that money disappear as fast as they’d like it to.

Just watched the movie on TCM last Thursday. Not sure what to expect from the forthcoming Spielberg remake. Hope he doesn’t woke it up. 🙁
I’ve never seen the whole thing all the way through. I saw that rumble scene once, thought “dance-off rumble” was silly, and never bothered with the rest of it.
Well, the whole show is designed around dance (because Jerome Robbins,) so it doesn’t seem odd in context – just the way it doesn’t seem odd in an opera for everyone to be singing all their dialogue (assuming you accept the premise of opera.) If you have any interest in classic American musical theater, I think it’s worth it for the complexity of Bernstein’s music. (Sondheim was pretty young, and he’s expressed regret for the lyric “Today the world was just an address. :-D) But I’m a classic American musical theater nerd. 🙂
I hate to say this, but I’m not a fan. I think Chicago and A Chorus Line are the closest I’ve ever come to actually having a good time watching it, and even then, it was the movies, not the theater.
I was kinda raised on it, between the folks’ collection of soundtrack albums, going to Kenley Players summer shows, and lots of local college & amateur theater productions. Chacun à son goût 😉
I was raised on movie soundtracks like Summer of ’42, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Gigi, Exodus, stuff like that. My parents would put on their Columbia House compilation of movie tunes on Sundays. It took me YEARS to find and compile all those songs again.
Aside: Good ol’ Columbia House.
Count me as a moderate fan of American musical theater. My Mom liked the classics and used to sing me to sleep with songs from older musicals. I’ve acted and sung in them (in high school) and enjoyed the productions. More recently, I’ve stopped following newer works.
Knifing a cop to death in a foreign nation is usually dealt with harshly. Drugs should be legal and whatnot but you reap what you sow.
I might be suspect of capital punishment by the state, but short of touturous execution, it’s hard to say any punishment is too harsh for murder.

Y’know, I’ve been a Florida Man for over half a century. It takes a little bit to raise my eyebrows. I know how to deal with no-see-ums, mosquitoes that carry exotic tropical diseases, cottonmouths, coral snakes, Cuban Knight anoles, and falling iguanas. I know that doing the stingray shuffle at the beach is a good idea, and that bull sharks are always around to remind you that you’re not atop the food chain. I know that hanging outside in the central Florida summertime at around 5:30 is generally a bad idea, lest you receive the shock of your life.
But I never, ever expected this.
Florida’s trying to outdo Australia when it comes to trying to kill its inhabitants.
Oh my. That pretty red sheen front and back of the truck isn’t the broken glass reflecting in the sun, is it? Please…

Slow and steady wins the race, Mr. Tortoise.
2.4 mph isn’t bad.
When I was running, I could not improve my 10 K time. Wind, temps, amount of rest, my times stayed within a minute or so . Some days I would feel refreshed and try to start out faster, didn’t matter, still turned in the same time, with in seconds. 45 minutes, 7 minute miles.

I figure people will get a kick out of this cartoon on proper child firearm safety.

Just got invited to an 1800 meeting with folks in Asia. Right before a long planned 2000 meeting with Asia. So my cooking plans got blown out of the water. Or into the water to be more precise. Just set up the sous vide cooker with a nice ribeye and the oven’s on delayed start for a side dish. Hopefully I’ll have enough of a window between meetings to sear the meat and heat the garlic bread up.
I *was* going to go for a ride between now and 2000, but the hell with my evening, I guess.
hayeksplosives – saw your thing on the National Park’s pass. I second it. We get ours so we can go to Lake Mead and up and down the Colorado. Though, there are parts of the river you can get to if you are adventurous and have a 4×4 that you need no pass to enjoy.
I’m not even talking about a pass or ticket to get in; I’m talking about a tidy way of capturing the memory of being there.
It’s just a nice booklet with a page for each national park. You go to the park, then to the gift shop or a self service spot and you stamp the passport page with the day’s date dialed in. It looks like a postmark.
Some parks also have paper stamps or stickers to add to the page.
Totally unnecessary, but I wish is had it since I was 10 y.o. So many places I’ve visited but have no postmark! It would be fun to see all the dates.
I think it would be a nice thing to have. When I was a kid, my parents took us to many different parks. We spent a lot of summer vacations on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore; they had a little program for kids that would record all the little presentations, hikes, and talks that you attended, and you could get a patch or other commemorative item when you reached certain milestones.
The memories of that place are some of the best I have with my family.
We always get a deck of cards anytime we go someplace on a family vacation.
It’s a great idea. My kids have had them since they were 10 and 8. We also buy them annual passes for Christmas.
Love the (should be privately owned) National Parks!
A gin that I’ve been enjoying – Hotel Tango – distilled in Indiana by disabled veterans. It’s – surprise! – available at Walmart. It’s Citrus infused so better for a summer Gin & Tonic than an olive (bleh!) martini.

Not at Walmart if your state restricts hard alcohol to (private) liquor stores or ABC stores.
Thanks. I’ll look for that in my local state ABC stores. Imagine buying booze from the DMV.

Not available in the Live Free or Die state.
That looked familiar. I have a bottle of their limoncello in my fridge.
I’ve got questions!
First a link to the story that has me perplexed: New data tool estimates 53,000 households in Minnesota behind on rent
The main thrust of the story: 53K households, $155M owed.
I wonder how many landlords that is? This sucks for small landlords who only own a few properties and have mortgages to pay.
I get $2,924.53/household. So what’s the question?
Or are there not enough minnesotans for that?
Main questions are below.
Bonus Question: Given that Minnesoda is 82% white and 60% of the deadbeats are POC, why would any sane person rent to a POC? Sure seems like a bad bet.
But I’m sure it is doubleplus ungood think to notice that.
LACIST!
Section 8 housing is a helluva drug.
Iowa just passed a law to ensure that it was legal for Iowa landlords to decline to rent to Section 8 renters. This undid several city/local ordinances.
The section 8 I am familiar with the check is cut from the Gov. The landlord never gets behind.
“75 percent earn less than $50,000 a year”
So, 25% earn over 50K ? Need more affordable housing.
Looks online for CONEXs, want to do my part.
Question 1) The state got $350M in December. I know I am a product of Memphis State, but $350 seems a lot bigger than $155M. Would the debt be $500M now, except that the Feds paid it down by $350M? Or did the bureaucrats suck up that money setting up blue ribbon committees?
Question 2) Why is it hard to get money into a landlord’s hands if it comes from a state program?
Question 3) Is that $100M from the CARES Act, part of the $350M? Or is it what was left after the swamp took its cut?
It takes time to launder all that money through brothers-in-law, cousins, etc who will be “facilitating” the payouts.
Uncle Joe will just forgive the debt. That’s how it works, right?
The landlords don’t need that money. They’re swimming in piles of gold.
From the dead thread:
For you young travelers out there, or parents of young adults, I recommend getting a US National Parks “passport”.
Then whenever you go to a National park (you never know—you might end up at a battlefield on a business trip or something like that), you stamp it with the day’s date and you can optionally buy a sticker commemorating the event.
I wish I’d known about them years ago when I started traveling.

Today I went out and filmed some location for a series of murders that happened in the 1970s.
All the victims were young white women living in the sketchier part of town here – at least in the 70s – so they could be close to the junior college downtown.
And the perp was a young black man – eventually tied to one of the murders via DNA evidence some 20 years later. He was initially jailed for perjury – 10 years for lying to a Grand Jury! – and later for an assault that did not kill the victim even though she got a knife in her neck. The blade was so wedged in the surgeons had to use a pliers to yank it out.
40+ years later and some of these areas still aren’t a place I would want to raise a family. They’re better though.

Thanks for that clarification. I thought maybe you had borrowed Warty’s Timesuit.
Just dropped off my kid st the airport. He’s happy to be on his way back to SC where all this covid bullshit is a distant memory.
My poor mom didn’t even go to Mothers Day at my sister’s house, where two other older mothers (my sis and bros mothers-in-law) as well as sister and sis-in-law who are moms.
She’s so afraid of Covid that even though she’s skeptical of the MSM on politics, she buys all the “stay home or you’ll die” crap. She even missed dad’s funeral last July for the same reason.
I can’t imagine still being around in my 80s if I never want to leave home for fear of dying. What would be the point?
I have a few friends in their 70s, 80s, and one who just turned 90. Most of them have not stopped going out an getting together over the past year. The 90-year-old survived COVID in November and is doing fine (even with his pacemaker).
From what most of them say, they do not want to spend what might be their few remaining years cowering in fear.
My MIL is the same way. She lost her husband the January before two weeks to flatten the curve (TWTFTC). She has little interest in playing the game, although she did get the jabs. Understandable.
I tried to have the “enjoy life while you can” conversation with my mother and got nowhere. Tomorrow I shoot trap at the club with a bunch of old guys who won’t be wearing masks.
My dad is 78 and has been advised to not get the vaccine because he had Guillain–Barré and his doc doesn’t want to mess around with his immune system.
He is pretty laid back about it. He figures that he’s had a full life and isn’t going to let fear ruin the end of it. He’s also in very good shape for an old coot, so I’d put money on him if he caught the Rona.
He winters down in Texas and came back this year pissed off about some of the geezers down there being giant sissies when it came to the Rona. Claims he isn’t going back this year and is going to spend it all up in Minnesoda ice fishing.
Gillian-Barre is what concerns me about the unknown mid to long term effects of the mRNA vaccines. For those who have bad presentations you may as well as get polio.
We had my mom over yesterday. She’s pretty calm about the whole thing. Last year we went to a pig roast that my dad’s caregiver was having. No masks. My dad was nearing the end last year and my mom is 90. They both seem to have taken the attitude of take precautions, but live your life while you have it, because you aren’t going to live forever.
Eminently sensible people. Too bad there aren’t 100M more of them in this country.
There’s at least 1 more. My 82 yo MIL has been maskless and vaccineless and has attended every event on offer. Tough broad, but also has zero fucks to give. She’s the coolest.
I had this discussion with a VN friend , living in Houston. Her family, plus 4 more family members and their families, live near by. All have had the vaccine, except 1 family. She said they can’t meet at a restaurant, can’t visit one another. These are folks that escaped communism, some staying a few years with the commies ’til they could leave.
They originally were from the north and went south as kids in 1954. All are 70s and 80s. I asked what the purpose of the vaccine was, all are still wearing masks.
I don’t understand the fear of old people. We’re not getting the vaccine and go unmasked. Right now my biggest problem is not the virus. We want to go out with friends but a lot are living in fear.
On my jaunt along the Mason-Dixon line toward the east coast and back again, there were many unmasked persons, most of whom seemed to be my age or older. Many convenience stores had no mask signs up at all. Many stores that did, their clerks had their masks down around their chins. One sign said, “Masks not required, but appreciated.” Nobody in there had a mask on. The Love’s truck stops had mandatory masks. I went to a grocery store in North Carolina that required masks. The memorial required masks except for the person speaking at the pulpit and then the family dinner afterward. It was limited to 150 people. Sadly, both my proggy brothers were bitching about people who wouldn’t wear masks and they were both proud of having gotten the vaccine. My 77yo mom got it, but I haven’t and I’m not going to. I kept my mouth shut and fortunately, they didn’t think to ask my opinion.
All in all, I would say it was about 50/50 wearing them, not wearing them.
I have a Vietnamese coworker who is probably in his 40s, but is very cautious with masking. He got the vaccine as soon as he could and he’s not sending his kids to school. I don’t know if it’s something specific to Vietnamese culture, the way Asians look at disease and masking, Confucian deference to authority or what. Or maybe it’s just him.
Meh – my folks, now both 79, were harping on my not getting the vax.
Me: I’ve been to airports, restaurants, a record convention, parties, stores, etc since the COVID “breakout” and I’ve never gotten it. Why worry now? I don’t get the flu shot – and I don’t get the flu either.
EF has had two people at her (small) office get it; she’s been tested 3x and each time it was negative.
Vitamin D, exercise, and a healthy consumption of spirits helps.
I’ve been tested about 5 times. The last time was nice. The swab handler was quite unpleasant. It was obviously an inconvenience to her day to do her not doubt overpaid job. You see, now that the vaccines are readily available, there is no reason not to get one. Of course once you get one, you can no longer be tested. Funny thing, that.
Yeah, I need to follow up on that. Right now, even after being vaccinated, we’re still directed to get tested before going on board the ships….
” I don’t get the flu shot – and I don’t get the flu either”

Nashua, NH Board of Health to revisit mask ordinance
A Nashua Board of Health review of the city’s mask mandate could produce recommendations to modify the ordinance enacted about a year ago.
Although a decision on whether to continue the mask requirement ultimately will be made by the Board of Aldermen, Alderman Tom Lopez said last week that the city’s Board of Health should have more control over the mandate “so it doesn’t turn into a political on/off switch.”
If the decision lies in political hands, Lopez said economic pressures or political rhetoric could play a factor. That could lead to a situation where people with no health or medical background start to drive the conversation, he said.
Some people can be evicted

Another whack at qualified immunity in NH
The co-founders of the iconic Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream franchise led a last-ditch, bipartisan effort Monday to convince state legislators to end qualified immunity for police officers and other public employees.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield said they decided to mount the national campaign to give justice to victims of police brutality.
“The only people who benefit from qualified immunity are bad cops,” Greenfield said at a news conference on the steps of the State House. “Good cops have nothing to worry about; this isn’t anti-cop at all. We say, love the good ones, but you have to prosecute the bad ones.”

That has manager Steve Sylvestre worried about a proposed nationwide ban on menthol and other flavored tobacco products proposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“It’s terrible, and it will really affect our business in a really negative way,” he said.
“It would be more than 50% of our customer base,” Sylvestre said.
State House Dome: Daniel Will claims he didn’t argue in the Binford case that the Constitution can be suspended
Solicitor General Daniel Will of Loudon deftly handled questions about COVID-19 and the Constitution during the public hearing last week on his nomination to become a Superior Court justice.
Will was the lead lawyer in the so-called Binford case, which upheld Sununu’s authority to issue executive orders because of the pandemic.
Critics interpreted the decision of Superior Court Judge John Kissinger as giving a green light for the state to suspend constitutional protections in response to a public health emergency.
Executive Councilors Dave Wheeler, R-Milford, and Joe Kenney, R-Wakefield, pressed Will on the point.
In response, Will said a pandemic does not trump the Constitution.
“The Constitution projects rights that belong to the people, and those rights can’t be taken away unless the people give them back such as in a constitutional amendment,” Will said. “Those rights can’t be suspended.”
Will said those rights are “not absolute,” and the state argued Sununu’s orders met the “strict scrutiny” standard for them to be judged as constitutional.
“What we argued was nothing about suspending the Constitution,” Will said.
Yeah, all that “stop working and doing any of the things you want to do” That’s pretty clearly not constitutional. Even during a year long manufactured emergency.

Perfectly sane as always.

To the extreme. It’s the political equivalent of ripping a noxious fart and yelling out “he who smelt it dealt it!” when people start gagging.
riiiiiight.

“CREEPY: Black Man Wore White Person Mask to Commit Dozens of Crimes in LA
In an incredibly creepy and bizarre story, a black man has been arrested for wearing a realistic latex mask of a white person to commit dozens of crimes in Los Angeles.
According to the Beverly Hills Police Department, 33-year-old Rockim Prowell, of Inglewood, is suspected of over 30 burglaries in the Los Angeles area.
Prowell was arrested on Thursday while driving a vehicle that was also stolen.
Prior to his arrest, the Los Angeles Police Department put out a now-deleted tweet asking if anyone had surveillance video of the man — who appeared to be white. They included stills from footage of two separate incidents. In both, he was wearing a white mask.”

If a tree falls in the forest, would it be racist if the cops shot him?
I don’t get how it’s creepy. Smart if anything.
He thought that white people were good to go for burglaries and such. Exempt, if you will.
Some things keep reoccurring.

I filmed him speaking once, back when I ran a camera for the get rich quick scammer. I told him that I had voted for him. After his speech I regretted the vote even more.
Why, what did he say?
He said Demi Rose was hot.
*Jeremiah Johnson gif*
Just an obviously principleless right wing zealot. He had switched back to the republican party shortly after losing as a libertarian. He pandered to the crowd and was not very libertarian at all. Just in general.
I don’t know who he is but have heard the name, but don’t post that shit! You will send Juris and Don into apoplectic election shock this far out.
Heck, it gets me twitching a bit and it confirms the hell out of my biases. Guilty post hoc behavior is supporting evidence, at best. We don’t “know” shit just because the prog-fascists are being cagey.
I agree with him on this. If the election was on the up and up, they would be demanding investigations. They would have insisted on republican observers. Hell, he only hits a few of the many points of contention about that shit show of a scam election and he still points out enough.

It’s obvious trolling, because what American her age would shake milk?
*hides recipe for Spaghetti Naporitan*
While that does look disgusting, the food elitists in that thread are obnoxious.
As are the racists
There are plenty of people who know/think it’s a joke. It was pointed out her entire TikTok account is like that. Clearly the woman’s having fun.
Holy hell! All that lady needed to add was some wonder bread and some mayonnaise. I guess good looking chicks don’t really have to know how to cook or work or be smart.
The “Oh noes, she used scissors!” comments are bizarre. Nothing wrong about cooking with scissors. The “They’re not even kitchen shears!” comments are doubly-stupid.
All the people taking it seriously are what gets me. Like, clearly, the woman’s having fun being silly.
I can’t help it. It looks so real and is SOOO very upsetting. Besides, this is how we Italian Americans imagine the normies cooking and approximately how their food tastes to us.
Italian Americans represent!
*hides evidence of nuked dinner of box spaghetti and canned meat sauce*
“what American her age would shake milk?”
Whew, it’s not as preverted as I thought. But that may have been just me.
Milk is homogenized by pumping it into a restricted orifice.
*raises hand*
So totally awesome with all those bubbles on top.
That is simultaneously disgusting, hilarious, and wonderful.
I’m laughing because there’s no way in hell she actually eats that stuff regularly. Look at that svelte figure.
Yeah, that’s a prime indicator she’s trolling.
The skinny chicks around here eat double what the big ones eat, at least in public. This is a flawed metric.

The media get to recycle all their “AIN”T NO OXYGEN TANKS IN INDIA!” stories – just substituting “Sudan” in for “India”. Sustainable news!
Wait wut? Third world nations don’t have enough oxygen tanks? I bet every tank in each country has been confiscated. Enter the pissed off metal workers.
When did cities start setting off tornado sirens every time a storm comes through? 5th time in 3 weeks they turned ’em on here.
It used to be that they only hit the sirens when there was a tornado (observed or radar indicated) or when there was a severe thunderstorm warning along with a tornado watch (i.e. a substantial likelihood of a twister imminently dropping out of that storm).
Either tornadoes are getting more frequent, or they got a cool tornado alarm the authorities want to test out, or the authorities are trying to raise the fear level.
I’m guessing it’s a heaping helping of the second one with a bit of the third one.
I don’t really mind, I guess. I have to make a recalibration from “get ready to hunker down in the bathroom” to “here comes some lightning and rain”.
I lived in OKC when actual tornadoes tore through and they didn’t turn on the sirens. That was over 20 years ago so maybe not relevant. I think radar has taken a turn toward too sensitive. My local weather radar shows rain when it never makes it to the ground.
“virga”
That should be a simple adjustment for them. In fact, IIRC, they can calculate based on the relative humidity where to set the filter for the radar.
Around here, they’re not warning about phantom tornadoes. I looked on the city website, and they had a list of various things that will set the siren off, including hail, wind, lightning, thunderstorm warning, etc. It has basically become the “get to shelter” alert for the parks and ball fields.
That makes sense if you are afraid of a thunder storm, hail, wind and or lightning. Which I am not. A tornado though? Ya, those fuck your shit up.
Yup. It’s the boy who cried “tornado”. Now I don’t pay attention to the sirens. Good job, city emergency manager.
Its not the radar itself, that has a set PRF, scan rate, power level, etc. It is the radar data processors that spit out base data which in turn, news agencies and even NOAA apply their algorithms to that data to predict the storms. *NEXRAD and TDWR technician*
If I were to guess, they are running an fairly new algorithm that is trying to find that rotation sooner and you are getting false hits and in turn, triggering your sirens. It could also be that they don’t think people pay attention (which is completely bullshit) to them so they figure hit them with any storm that may have the potential so people are on alert.
So I am going to go with #3 and #2 also with #2 being the fancy new NEXRAD 6000, which is just software.
I’m watching Unnatural Selection on Netflix. Fascinating!
