- if you're gonna get another chance after a debut flop, I think you need either awards or critics. -- nm - mafic Nov 28, 21:32 4
  - (And Sky Captain is 70% at RT...) -- nm - Ender Nov 28, 21:42 1
    - yeah, but I'd call that 'good but not amazing'. don't remember there being a lot of critics raving about it or putting it on year-end lists. -- nm - mafic Nov 28, 22:58
  - He was apparently attached to John Carter for a hot second. -- nm - Ender Nov 28, 21:40 1

Why is Israel the only suspect in the nuke scientist killing? Saudis don't want them to be nuclear either -- nm - ⌚👻🦃🏈 Nov 28, 19:18 14
- because Bibi basically admitted it. gave a list of accomplishments for the week then said "it's a partial list, I can't tell you everything." -- nm - mafic Nov 28, 19:27 3
  - and if that's the case, it because we gave the nod, or because he knows Trump just dgaf at this point? -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 19:28 2
    - because he has to get it done before Biden comes in and tries to rejoin the nuclear deal. apparently Trump also retweeted a story attributing Israel. - mafic Nov 28, 19:38
    - If Iran wants to get frisky in response, they really can’t because Trump will do something stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 19:37

      - fair point. -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 19:27

Jimmy Kimmel bought a fishing resort in Idaho. I was considering visiting next spring for about 3 minutes, which is how long it took me to find the reservations page. -- (link*) - crash davis Nov 28, 17:12 28

- you could do a fantastic trip on the Gander River in Newfoundland for a 10th of that a night... -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 17:45 2
  - I could go stay for the cost of gas at an ID state campground, but it doesn't come with the open bar. -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 17:46 1
    - (Open bar excluding premium) -- nm - zunkskunk+ Nov 28, 17:49
- I used to stay at places with prices like that when I worked up north. some of them were so not worth it. - mafic Nov 28, 17:42 9
  - (note, I did not pay, I was doing exploration work and we used their excess capacity.) -- nm - mafic Nov 28, 17:43 8
    - that is a nice fringe benefit to your job -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 17:46 7
      - we usually got better fishing than the lodges, we could fly the helicopter to places they couldn't get to. also once threatened by the secret service. - mafic Nov 28, 17:53 3
        
        I wish I remembered exactly what they said. something like "aircraft approaching [lodge], identify yourself and state your intentions." - mafic Nov 28, 18:18 1
