Jones was a unique individual.

As a student at UNC in the 60s he was very involved in the civil rights movement, participating in sit-ins and marches. Later in life he was the Chief of Heritage Operations for the Sons of Confederate Veterans. He served in Congress as a Democrat, but was very conservative and, along with Sam Nunn and Zell Miller, was one of the last few of the old school southern Democrats.

Besides acting he also took a shot at a music career. He put out an album of covers that included Let The Good Times Roll, and Thunder Road

When I was a kid we lived in his Congressional district. When he first ran he carried a stack of autographed Dukes cast photos and, if I remember correctly, even some Catherine Bach/Daisy Duke posters that he would hand out while door to door campaigning.

I'm too lazy to look up how many episodes there are, but they are burning through cameos quickly. Already had three of the seven main BBT characters appear and a couple of the side characters as well.

The magic battle in the most recent episode was entertaining.

How many other oddball alternate universes can they create?

Go back just a couple of hundred years when it was very unlikely to move great distances away from home, and villages were more common than big cities, it isn't so odd.

My English grandparents (born 1890s) were technically second cousins I believe. My grandmother's grandmother (born 1820s) and my grandfather's grandfather (born 1830s) were brother and sister, giving my grandparents one set of common great grandparents.

My grandfather grew up in Durham, my grandmother in London. They met at the wedding of my grandfather's sister.

Depends on the situation. Who or what are we fighting? If it's something ground-based I might pick either K.I.T.T., or a light cycle.

For aerial/space either an X-Wing or Viper.

I'm ok with a business being cashless. However, if you are going to force me to use a credit card, do not pass the processing fee along to the customer.

Went to a retirement party at a local brewpub a couple of months ago and they were card only, but then added on the processing fee.

Xana was awake (she just had door dash delivered) and heard the commotion and went out to investigate. BK runs into her on his way down and this is the conversation that Dylan heard that she thought was Kaylee. Xana says “someone’s in the house” and BK says “don’t worry I’m here to help” - he then chases Xana to her room where he kills her and the sleeping Ethan.

That makes a lot more sense than it being Kaylee. We were watching this yesterday and I asked my wife - if she came down to the main floor bathroom, how/why did he get her back upstairs to kill her? Why not just kill her in the main floor bathroom?

I seem to remember that the NBA forced an owner to sell his team for remarks he made in private that got leaked.

But I guess this situation is (D)ifferent.

I'm kinda surprised he got LWOP since he plead to everything

Kid is evil.

Prosecution had recordings of him on the phone with his mom from jail coming up with ways to give him an insanity defense and almost reveling in the attention the shooting got him.

They also has copies of his discord messages and photos where he talked about wanting to be like the Parkland shooter - including what was described as a shrine to the shooter Cruz that he had in his bedroom.

How I found out about the 9/11 attacks. Got out of the shower and walked by the computer and saw a message flashing from a friend saying "turn on the TV. A plane hit the WTC."

As for social media apps... the first one to ditch the algorithm and go back to a default chronological timeline that shows me more posts from accounts I follow vs promoted or suggested would get me to dump all the rest.
