Maybe yeah. There’s probably a good reason somewhere, I just don’t get it. All good 👍

No :-)

But it still doesn’t make sense for Boatswain to become Bosun to become Bo’s’n.

Bos’n maybe, but the apostrophe between o and s isn’t doing anything.

But Bo’s’n uses one more character than Bosun?

Sailing is mental.

Yeah, sorry about that! 😁

Jeez, that’s sad. I’m glad she at least has family to care for her, but what an awful way for her life to go. And all for want of a little jag.

Stay safe! 👍

It’s the gift that keeps on giving! ☹️

Indeed. I’m very glad I’m in the UK, where vaccine denialism is at least a bit less prevalent than in the States. I saw that Texas has an outbreak right now. Scary stuff.

Insanity.

Worth reading the whole Wikipedia entry, to see just how stupid this Looper guy was - discussing with various people both his advance intent to kill, and then also the fact that he had just done so. Wild stuff.

Certain ufologists have claimed that the story is evidence of a close encounter with extraterrestrial life.

Of course they have… 🙄

Yeah, I’ll put my hand up and admit I haven’t read the article :-)

That said, I think someone else pointed out that just because a show or movie is labelled as a Netflix Original, doesn’t necessarily mean they made it. So the kind of licence issue I was speculating about might still apply to a bought-in property.

Devil’s Advocate here, but I wonder if that could be a choice made by the creatives or the production company - like, “we hate advertising and don’t want it shown during our show, so that’s the kind of licence we will agree to”.

I think a lot of people would applaud that sentiment of refusing to have ads in their show.

Unfortunately the result would be that for noble, purity of the art, reasons they end up accidentally screwing people in your situation.

No idea if that’s plausible, but maybe?

Blessings!

I’m thinking a smoothie.

I’ll be sure and do that… :-)

Cease your investigations.

And it worked. I just licked one. It tasted horrible.

Ah yeah, the Amen Break from Amen, Brother by the Winstons. There was actually a fundraiser for the guy a few years back, I threw in a few pounds, as his work has been the basis of a huge part of my musical taste!

That’s awesome, I had no idea he was behind that tune. I hope he got paaaaiiiid!
