    Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi

    Okay, I thought I'd post a thread separate from the general "movie" thread so that people who've already seen the movie can discuss it here without introducing spoilers for the rest of it.

    Product Warnings, Safety Recalls, and the like

    If there already is a thread for these things let me know and I will delete this one to avoid duplication. I read an article recently warning people about health risks associated with a duodenoscope (something doctors use to look inside your small intestine). There is a design flaw such that...

    An 'Honest" Conversation About Race? Just Give Me My Coffee!

    I don't frequent Starbucks. If I did, I wonder how many baristas would be ready with an answer to the question, "isn't it true that the blacks who were purchased as slaves by the slave-traders were sold into slavery by other blacks as an instrument of tribal warfare?" Yeah, just the thing...

    Political Limericks

    Does the petty snarkfilled dialog from some of the political threads leave you with ennui? Perhaps it's time to lighten up / liven up the political sniping! :) I stole this idea from James Taranto at the Wall St. Journal. He held a limerick contest for a politician with one of the most...

    A thread for woodworking, crafts, and hobbies

    Hey, if gardeners and bird watchers can have their own threads, why not one for woodworkers / crafters / hobbyists, too? :)

    A Discussion of US Immigration Policy

    It seems to me that "immigration" is one issue in which the "typical" progressive / conservative divide does not apply. -- very few progressives would want to see a successful terrorist attack on US soil (or anywhere else, for that matter!) -- very few conservatives would want to see refugee...

    The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk

    The Cicadas are Coming!

    Queue media mass hysteria. From North Carolina to Connecticut, the 17-year cicadas are expected to emerge in massive swarms this summer, emerging from their underground burrows sometime in May before they pupate and emerge as flying, thrumming adults. It will be interesting to compare the...

    Happy Birthday, Mr. Shakespeare!

    Although no one really "knows" on what day the world's greatest playwright was born, April 26, 1564 is often celebrated as his birthday because that's the date that is reported as the day he was baptized, and since infant mortality was so high back then, many babies were baptized on the day they...

    Marathon Killers Apprehended: the Aftermath

    Most Americans are probably proud about the unity and resilience upon display in Boston this past week. Among many notable events, several stand out for me: > the extraordinary level of cooperation and coordination among all different jurisdictions > the determination and scope of the...

    Trouble at Boston Marathon?

    Today is Patriots' Day in Massachusetts, the traditional day for the running of the Boston Marathon. Usually a festive day. However, I just saw news report of explosions near the finish line on Boylston St. I hope everyone is safe.

    Just what IS "marriage" anyway?

    Read several extremely fascinating articles recently on this topic. If this thread gains any traction, I'll post some excerpts. Basically, two different models which are pretty much incompatible. One model posits that "marriage" is primarily a social institution whose main purpose is to...
