Way ahead of you.

Sharknado had a tornado filled with sharks with not much more special effects budget, and that was 13 years ago (how the time flies- like sharks in a tornado). We not trying to win Academy Awards for VFX with these demakes.

The Chinese probably gave them normal gifts, pins, and phones because why waste money on tech when top secret files are stored in the bathroom and POTUS tweets sensitive information?

Nice idea, but you'd never get funding. So lean into it. Instead of remaking flops, demake them. Redo Battlefield Earth or Waterworld on a half million dollar budget. As the world watches your film with effects that would make Sharknado blush they will finally ask "what is art?"

So the GQPedos plan is to use more ethanol, something they've been whining about for decades. Meanwhile, the Dems are trying to cut the (hasn't been inflation adjusted in 30 years) gas tax to further screw over the future AND help their opponents in an election year. USA! USA! USA!

Whatever AOC! It's super easy, barely an inconvenience, to do. Over the span of a 40 year career you simply need to earn $25,000,000 on average each year without exploiting labor, committing fraud, violating antitrust, cheating investors, market manipulation, stealing, or any of the other ways billionaires became billionaires.

The real story is that having a billion dollars and not aggressively using your wealth to fix the problems in the world/society makes you a monster. Full stop.

Because we select our leaders via rigged popularity contests then let them sit in office with zero accountability, zero modern standards for hiring or work oversight, and "performance evaluations" every 2-6 years. Imagine running a company that way.

Depends what you mean. If, as the commentators appear to be assuming, you mean you lost a yelling match with the worst person imaginable at lunch then no, not a great idea to change your mind. If, as someone who assumes you are a reasonable competent human would, you mean a specific point which has been thoroughly examined for some time, then yes, change your mind.

I have to hand it to his handlers, this is a very lateral thinking move for dealing with the perceived problem of immigration. 800k fewer immigrants in the USA with the stroke of a pen. Genius.

That's the most Dodge Truck thing I've ever seen.

Too long. Term should be # of justices on SCOTUS. Currently 9, who should NOT be grandfathered in life time appointment. Instead, cycle them out based on tenure each year from when the bill is passed. Also, any SCOTUS appointee should either be selected by or have the endorsement of a majority of the federal circuits.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but shouldn't something generating the heat of several atom bombs be utilized as a heat source for making energy, instead of energy used to cool it?
