1 point for me as well, but I had never recorded radio to a cassette. Same age.

What do we call it when the show has politics you agree with but you still think its too heavy handed and the messaging constantly feels like you're being talked down to?

I guess he better watch out then, if trans people got that much power over people. Maybe he needs to check his fuckin tone...

007 can be anyone. James Bond should have relatively consistent features since it's a character from a book series.

If you want to put a new character in the James Bond franchise but not makes them James Bond, there's little to argue against that. I just dont see any upside to leashing yourself to that franchise if you want to make something different. The audience won't be there. It wasn't there for Ghostbusters.

If that's the case... it's better, but I really would rather them not be able to wear the uniform or have police powers off duty outside of an emergency.

I'd be so pissed if I lived in Chicago. What a waste of funding.

Sadly, bad behavior from owners are the cause. I have several fruit trees in my backyard and the pest presence is high. If they aren't harvested and maintained the impact on your neighbors is high. I hate HOAs, but I get why they would prohibit it, and it's not a class thing, after all...you're a property owner.

We do. Obviously not everyone can But I wager the number of Americans growing something edible on their space is decent. Usually it's easy stuff to grow, or someone's favorites.

Thinking about it and counting in my head I actually know dozens of people that grow tomatoes personally. They grow easily in large quantities in relatively small space and all taste better than store bought.

Citrus has been pretty plentiful my entire life too. Lemon trees especially.

I actually never got the impression he was rich from the movies. All Hagrid really says is "You dinne think they'd leave ya with nothing?" And they show a pile of coins.

To a child with almost nothing but some school expenses who lived on handmedowns, he might feel rich but he didn't rush out and replace his broom himself when it broke each time.

His parents also weren't old or particularly famous outside their role in Voldy's death, so I don't know where the richest could have come from outside his Father's family.

It's always this. History has borne it out.

 

I've noticed that every product I've bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It's pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc...
