Re: The Acolyte

I am absolutely perplexed why the marketing was pushing the murder mystery angle, though. The characters in the show solve it half way through the first episode, and it was their immediate first guess even before then. Well, that's a bit disappointing then. While I haven't seen the show, I thinking...

My understanding is that for state level convictions, Florida defers to the rule of the state the conviction was from.

Re: World-first tooth-regrowing drug will be given to humans in September

Most likely it'll start off expensive, and become more affordable over time.

Being classified as a drug, it'll probably be easier to get covered by insurance, as opposed to a device like dentures, or something like implants. But without knowing more specifics, it's hard to really say at this point.

Re: Lower Decks to end in Season 5

That's just the style that tv shows are being mase these days; higher production value, shorter seasons.

5 seasons is a perfectly respectible run for any show. Much better to go out on a high note, than to drag on years past it's prime.

Re: Alien: Romulus

Wait, it's actually called Alien: Romulus?

Re: Biden V Trump: the rematch of the century

I'll say this much: anyone who's voting against Biden because he's soft on Israel is at best overly emotional. Why? In general, the more emotionally 'hot' a person is, the less they think about the consequences of their actions. I'm suddenly reminded of the Deep Space Nine epsiode ''Duet''. That's ...
