My favorite Bond movie is Thunderball. It was made back in the day, so when you see 100 guys jump out of an airplane and scuba dive into a battle with another undersea army you know that it was all real people.

Off topic but fun.
The book ‘The Carpetbaggers’ became a movie; there was a Western actor mentioned in the story, Nevada Smith. Does anyone else know a daring character named after a state with a five letter last name?

I can’t remember the author or title, but that was the idea for a story I once read.

The stupidest thing about Trump is that he could have extorted billions of dollars out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day. Even Team Rocket could have figured that out.

This has been going on for a long time.
Back in the Reagan Era the US was miles ahead of the Soviet Union’s military by any metric. So the Right came up with a new metric, “throw weight.” The Soviets had inferior missile technology, so they had to build bigger weapons to carry the same size warhead.

It was like saying a musket from 1776 was better than a M-16 because it fired a larger bullet.
Every shot of insulin is the most important shot of insulin in history.
Greed. A sane person will walk away from working once they have enough saved to comfortably retire.
$100 million can let you live comfortably forever, but there are plenty of people who want that much every year.
Those are the folks who become ‘leaders.’
Add the ‘/s’ for the libertarians.

Never did it myself, but I heard of a club called ‘Dual Cool’ that does it recreationally.
