I learned to cook by "reverse engineering" what others make (restaurants mostly), and by grabbing what's looking tired in the fridge and inventing a dish from it. I don't follow recipes, so cooking requires a lot of trial and error and tasting; lots of tasting. | nyt_comments |

Don't get on Trump. Get on the Republican toadies who are supporting him and allowing him to get away with just about anything he wants to do. | nyt_comments |
Self Preservation...that's what this is about. The GOP knows what is coming in the elections...you grin, you in. They all stood up behind their master and now they see the voters rebelling against them. The GOP knew he was a con man, but they thought they could keep under control and reel him in when they needed to. Now they realize that this guy is so mentally unhinged, he is taking the ship down with him. You deserve losing control of both houses because you foolishly laid down for him, instead of serving the folks that elected you. No loss seeing all of the GOP get voted out. | nyt_comments |
RC is correct that Congress is unwilling to address healthcare costs which drives health insurance premiums ever upward. They lack the courage to take on big Pharma, medical providers, and other powerful interests (donors). While the ACA is not without flaws, the current alternative will result in the many Americans losing health insurance coverage. It is immoral of Congress to pretend that this will not occur, particularly when they have guaranteed health insurance during and after leaving office. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds! | nyt_comments |

This Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle comedy is best remembered for featuring a young Buster Keaton, fresh from splitting with his family's roughhouse Vaudeville act, in his film debut. Buster gets quite a substantial part in this film and it's quite a funny one overall. "The Butcher Boy" has lots of laughs and is an example of pure old-fashioned slapstick done well, though it would seem to come from the brief era of two-reel comedies when filmmakers still imagined in one-reel segments as a matter of course. | imdb |

Courageous carried four BL 15-inch Mk I guns in two hydraulically powered twin gun turrets, designated 'A' and 'Y' from front to rear. Her secondary armament consisted of eighteen BL 4-inch Mk IX guns mounted in six manually powered mounts. The mount placed three breeches too close together, causing the 23 loaders to get in one another's way, and preventing the intended high rate of fire. A pair of QF 3-inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft guns were fitted abreast the mainmast on Courageous. She mounted two submerged tubes for 21-inch torpedoes and carried 10 torpedoes for them. | wikipedia |

The troposphere is the first and lowest layer of the atmosphere of the Earth, and contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere, 99% of the total mass of water vapour and aerosols, and is where most weather phenomena occur.

Feuillade further popularized serials in France, which was probably inescapable anyhow with the flood of American films (and serials) into the cinemas. For some reason, he seems to have garnered more respect than any other maker of chapter plays has--even to this day. I don't know of any other director mostly known for serials offhand. His pictures have had widespread popularity--in their day, but also 'Les Vampires' seems to remain one of the most praised representations of 1910s cinema. It's not evident that it has anything to do with a mastery of film-making, though; to the contrary, I think that's absent. The long takes from fixed camera positions get very boring, especially the scenes of extended length--those of the characters' every action: scaling buildings, driving off in automobiles, how exactly they go about their crimes and such, as fellow commenter tedg and others have described. | imdb |

1 The European Capital of Culture was due to be in the UK in 2023. However, due to its decision to leave the European Union, UK cities would no longer be eligible to hold the title after 2019. The European Commission's Scotland office confirmed that this would be the case on 23 November 2017, only one week before the UK was due to announce which city would be put forward. The candidate cities were Dundee, Leeds, Milton Keynes, Nottingham and a joint bid from Northern Irish cities Belfast, Derry and Strabane. This caused anger amongst the UK candidate cities' bidding teams due to the short notice of the decision, and because of the amount of money they had already spent preparing their bids. | wikipedia |

Edith has a Brooklyn type accent which points to Max having something of a working class background himself, and further, he has ambivalent feelings towards her - for one thing, she is uncomfortable in formal social settings. I think these suggest that Max's attraction to Nora is not nearly as left field as it may appear. Further, I see a facial similarity between the actors, especially around the eyes and mouth, which social psychologists often cite as a predictor of couple attraction. | imdb |
