I think it's a combination of nostalgia and the fact that SML1 had levels, enemies and music that were super unique compared to other Mario games before or after.

SML2 is a better game on the technical side of things but nothing in it blew me away or was memorable enough for me to recall with super clarity like I do with 1.

And on the flip side of things, I live in Florida and biking as a primary method of transportation in the summer is just insane.

I do bike for exercise in the summer and 15 minutes will leave me drenched in sweat needing a shower.

Further erode relations between Israel and other ME countries.

Turn international political option against Israel.

The only path to any kind of resolution in which Gaza gets sovereignty is if Israel is forced to the table by the international community.

To do that, Hamas has to get Israel to kill as many Gaza citizens as they can

I'll tell you, I have my setup to the point where I go to one website, subscribe to a show, and episodes of that show appear to watch on my TV same day they are released.

I also set myself up to get email alerts telling me what new episodes I have to watch when they are done being downloaded.

... Setting all that up took me awhile and will take tech skills. But now that it's set up, it's zero touch aside from adding new shows.

Plus, I never have to worry about trying to find where to stream at it and even if my Internet goes out I can still watch my shows

Not everyone cares so much about that.

Someone knowing things about me in general is not a big deal.

It's nothing so complicated as all that.

It's as simple as any possible solution to the issue is to Israels disadvantage, so they work to maintain the status quo.

The leadership of Gaza is Hamas. Unequivocally.

Hamas was elected to power then pulled the ladder up behind them suspending all future elections.

All officials in the Gaza government are Hamas.

Elections were suspended in the West Bank because there is a real chance Hamas would win an election there today.

This isn't a case of a tyrannical overlord ruling over the Palestinian people without their consent.

Most supported and still support the organization.

Anytime you are doing any kind of military or police action within a civilian area there is always the risk of unintended civilian harm.

If police and military forces took this doctorine that any amount of risk is too much then they simply would be unable to operate.

There has to be a certain amount of acceptable civilian risk and that should be proportional to the threat you are attempting to stop.

Just to clarify, I'm not advocating that Israel is taking acceptable risks. But I am advocating that those risks will always exist with ANY police or military action and the primary debate is over where the red line of acceptable/unacceptable is.

If she were trying to have children, sure then I can believe medical science could make that happen.

But menopause happens in part because the body runs out of viable eggs. The body doesn't produce more over a life; you are born with your supply.

Why would medical science have given her more eggs at some point?

Of these I've watched 8 completely:

  • Battlestar Galactica.
  • Parks and Rec.
  • 30 Rock.
  • Chernobyl.
  • Game of Thrones.
  • Deadwood.
  • Halt and Catch Fire.
  • Bojack Horseman

6 others I've started and gave up on part way through:

  • The Last Airbender.
  • Atlanta.
  • Better Call Saul.
  • Breaking Bad.
  • Veep.
  • Reservation Dogs.

Of the rest, half of them I've never even heard of.

I guess I don't have good taste in TV?

Then don't answer?

It's not like sending the call to voicemail is going to hurt my feelings.

Asking to call seems redundant. The call is the ask.
