That's usually not a late-stage decision but an earlier one.
It is a cost saving measure. Monochromatic special effects are easier to sell visually than colorful ones.
There's no public information on the budget, but I'd guess it's fairly low.

So what, there was a pride flag in the background of one set pic. It wasn't an actual pride message, it was just a pic. How many set pics have there been over the years? How many people, Jewish of Christian or atheist, gay or straight, black or white, work on the show?
It feels completely un-Christian to me, to have "our" side try and cancel a show that has brought the scriptures to life for so many.
I love that show. It has deepened my understanding of the savior and his love for me. Like the episode where Mary Magdalene is hosting shabbat for the first time after she's repented and returned to God. Christ would rather be in her home, with her clumsy yet heartfelt Shabbat, than the fancy one with the Pharisees and Rabbis whose hearts are far from him. That ep touched me deeply, how much Jesus loves us, and our feeble tries, to come to God every day and start anew.
I hope this stupid boycott fizzes out and the people making the show can just concentrate on making good TV again.

I’m convinced that if Nick Saban were still coaching the Tide they do not have that let down. Mr rat poison would never allow that kind of complacency. However, I’m not sure Saban wins the Georgia game…. The new coach is giving their QB more freedom and that unlocked a lot of offensive firepower against the Bulldogs. But DeBoer blew the Vandy game by letting complacency take root fast…. He’ll adjust; smart guy and they still have #1 talent

Whoa, no! Don't do it. I watched it last night and the 5.8 IMDB rating is way too kind. I don't think they even read the book. The whole thing has an air of "I can do this better" and it's a terrible failure.
What Tobe Hooper did with the book as a TV movie is pretty incredible. This doesn't hold a candle to that version, or even the Rob Lowe version. I'd argue it may be worse than A Return to Salem's Lot.

All meaningful polling is switching to likely voters now and NC is turning out to be a running sore along with the massive illegal immigration and inflation results.
That's my guess of the betting markets which also can be easily swayed by a deep pocketed type using smurfing techniques. Resembles the 2016 election in October where Hillary could not do a correct thing suddenly and people all discovered she was a unlikable asshole. The Pussy Tape probably dented the margin of victory for PDT but Comey of the FBI did no favors to Killary by letting her off publicly.

But that probably was on purpose, you can't have someone portraying Vance that would do a good job, cause, you'd probably end up humanizing him.

Imagine this: Sicily, 1943 .... no, wait, that's a different sitcom.
Anyway, Trump enacts an EO that dissolves AFSCME. The union bosses declare a strike. The sheep, sorry, the workers dutifully go on strike. Strikers attacking 'scabs', 3rd party suppliers (vendors), blocking roads, etc., are arrested and tried in military tribunals -- Yes, that's the shock-inducing answer to 'what type of court' by every Sovereign Citizen question since sovcits* were saved from dribbling down thighs. Mil. Tribunals got around the problem that the civilian courts staff were all AFSCME members themselves.
Eventually USSC declares AFSCME and all unions involving people being paid by the USG, City, County or State Govs to be unconstitutional.
Most problems now solved by firing incompetents.
Much rejoicing across the land. Also drinking and debauchery**, mostly debauchery.

Broad City was a funny show, then they had Hillary! on in the spring of 2016 as a guest cameo, and were fawning over her. It made the show jump the shark, for me but probably for others.

The novel gave me the creeps too, and I was a grownup (well, mostly) when I read it in '76. What was different about it from earlier vampire tales is that the vampires in it are not strangers to their victims. They are not Eastern Euro counts with cloaks and thick accents; no. They are your friends and neighbors. On Tuesday you go to your best friend's funeral after he dies of a weird wasting disease of the blood. Then, on Wednesday night, he's there at your second-floor window, scratching and whispering, "Let me in . . ."
King lets us know these people, hate some and like others. And then when they turn into vampires, it affects us.

I got back from a couple of weeks in West PA visiting family. My sister has slowly amassed a decent arsenal. My best friend is a redneck gun nut and EVERYBODY should have at least 1 friend who is a redneck gun nut. My friend is a good dude.

More like a replay of a century old flood. Images in Asheville looked about the same from that one. Caused again by a hurricane remnant that hit an already rained out soil.
Those FEMA floodmaps are merely guesses at the likelihood of flooding based on scanty data.
Old ways are best--high places to avoid the flood but you get the wind and less than fertile soil, low places, more flooding, richer soil, less wind.
Water will always run downhill. Exposed places get more wind. Buy your ticket and put down your bets. There are no certainties in life except death and taxes (and possibly government incompetence depending on location).

Short answer - You Can't Take It (All) With You... but this is why the concept of a bug-out bag exists. Especially with emphasis on a minimum of essential items that can be grabbed *quickly*.
Slightly longer answer - you need to consider the various 'levels' of potential catastrophe not to mention the needs and abilities of yourself and family members.

He's always been a fairly slow writer; there were long gaps between Black Sunday, Red Dragon, and Silence of the Lambs. The end result was worth it. If he's having to overcome a writer's block, then that's different.

Palastine, climate change, healthcare, income inequality—these are issues where the Democratic Party keeps making promises but doesn’t follow through.
How do you convince the perpetually butt hurt? Stay home and help someone take power who is far more destructive? Brilliant.
I'm no political scientist, but I think you have to scare them with what a second Trump admin would do to their lives.
I'm sure your arguments will win them over. "The beatings will continue until morale improves" approach has always worked so well in the past.
Whatever we do, we mustn't let the Party support what they want! I mean, too progressive, the horrors.
How do you reach someone who is selfishly blind to what is happening? Is women dying not enough for them?
None of them are as disillusioned as I was in 2016. I voted for Hillary when they didn't in 2016. I got over my disillusionment and voted for Biden in 2020. Do these people need 4 more Trump years?

But here's the deal: if you're running a podcast that isn't explicitly focused on politics, then Trump or RFK is a get, but any mainstream politician is a bad move, business wise.
People still vote for these people - but they are universally despised. Nobody likes any of them, or wants to hear their evil lies, or see their phony, smarmy faces any more than they already have to, which is constantly.
Inviting these subhuman pieces of shit on your show has no upside. All that will happen is that your own reputation will be tainted by proximity to their stink.

"this process of constant stress, constant attack, constant bombardment with fear and trauma does work to brainwash people. you’re in a constant state of activation, cortisol overload, and being overwhelmed by the atavistic fear responses of the more primitive parts of your mind, responses that shut down rationality.
you get tossed from fear to anger to threat and back again over and over so rapidly that there is no rest, no time to think, no time to process or reflect. every time you pause, there’s somehting new. 2 things at once. 3 things at once. you get locked into an endless chain of “now” as stimulus response as you devolve into an anoetic consciousness dominated by anxiety, anger, and fear.
it breaks people quite completely to the point where their rational faculty is actually gone, fully inaccessible to them and they wind up driving around in a car by themselves wearing a mask and screaming at parking meters about the structural inequity of marginalized viruses until their pronouns wind up being “was/were.”

Good luck. Two bits of advice--heavier is better and a three inch barrel or longer is much more shootable revolver.
Also avoid the pretty wood grips aka splinter gripgs or replace them with rubber Hogue, Pachmyr, etc. grips before shooting it.
Buy a box or two of full wadcutter ammo if they have it to start practice with.
This is a decent self defense load to start with too.

They leave out the key part - most of her interviews are with sycophantic 'media' people. She's done some local TV news interviews with non-sycophants and has not looked good. Her Handlers want the local TV news time, and count on the local and big-time MSM outlets to not air the bad parts.

Certain 40's can be downgraded to 9mm with a mag and barrel change. Most do not require much if any tweaking of the extractor or ejector to function. Go whole hog, some like the S&W M&P 1.0, you can find replacement slides (including long ones or ones modded for red dot mounts) with barrels--either used or new.
Given that those former M&P's are selling about $250-300, add a slide/barrel combo and for about 5 bills have a dual swap firearm for 9mm and 40 S&W. The older Sigs are also that way too.
As a rule, you can go from 40 to 9mm but not vice versa.

The only problem with Manhunter is the central character isn't all that interesting, and the script just doesn't sell his psychological scarring. Also, William Petersen ain't a great actor. Otherwise, it's great. I liked it more than Red Dragon.
Tom Noonan was a terrifying Dolarhyde, better than Ralph Fiennes. Part of that is physical. He was 6-5 and muscular, and really came across as f'd up. Ralph is a great actor and thus was probably too well-known for that role.

Sadly, concur. The Left has been in a nonstop meltdown since Trump entered the scene, and is threatening to continue it if he's reelected. It's a combination gaslighting and hostage situation, where they threaten the American public with 4 more years of chaos and threats if Trump is elected...while blaming Trump for causing the division.

The walls of churning water are filled with smashed building, rocks, dirt, cars, dead people and dead animals. In the narrower valleys and ravines, the water was 10-12 feet high.

It is also deadly that FEMA spent the money on illegals and is treating citizens with about $750 per household. Ties both illegals are being treated better than citizens and government malice toward citizens by letting them die via indifference.

He wants a revolver. 9mm revolvers are not to be recommended without prior experience with other revolvers due to trying to fit a rimless cartridge into a system that headspaces on the rim. Compromises with that in a revolver to adapt.
38 Special (perhaps capable of firing 357 Magnum) is the usual start. At worst, a 22 LR/22 WMR interchangeable cylinder gives some decent firepower in a Single Action revolver. Plus cheap.

Little did Hezbollah know, but the production of these pagers was outsourced without the sales representative’s knowledge, and the pagers were physically assembled in Irsael at a Mossad facility. The Mossad pagers featured a battery pack with a miniscule amount of a tiny yet powerful explosive. The explosive was so well hidden that even if the device were taken apart or x-rayed (which most likely Hezbollah did), it would remain undetectable.

Norton is very arrogant, it's offputting. But in the right role, he's good.

Was going to say the same -- I think he was relatively unknown until that breakout role.

I have both and have carried both.
That being said, for beginners, a revolver is easier to do administrative actions with very little training--loading, reloading, cleaning, and no safety/wrist locking/etc to remember.
For a person with less training, a revolver is fine and after being trained, a person can always keep the revolver on hand for another family member that may not be a gun person willing to put in the time to learn foibles of a semi auto.
And, if a house gun, doing a NY reload (having a second loaded revolver) is faster than most people in dropping a mag and inserting another from slidelock. Jim Cirrillo (via Mas Ayoob) created that term to describe what he and others did on the Stakeout Squad for NYPD. Carry two loaded guns.

Lorton Prison had the largest baseball field in America. If you were an outfielder you would end up running a marathon for the ball that got behind you.

I was going to but that was a more annoying commute than Lorton. Distance was about the same. You measure driving around here with time and annoyance mitigation here in Babylon DC.

Just no. Both 9mm and 40 S&W are high pressure rimless cartridges that do not like crimping. What you get is something only seen in really big bore revolvers where the recoil causes the other bullets in the cylinder to be extracted (as if you are using an inertial bullet puller). Revolver bullets are normally roll crimped to prevent bullet pull--rimless are generally taper crimped which has a less substantial 'hold' aka bullet tension on the bullet.
40 S&W is particularly tetchy regarding bullet tension anyway when reloading.
Also, Charter designed their 9mm and 40 S&W revolver using small spring latches on the cartridge grooves to hold them. Another not so useful kludge to go wrong in the field rather than moon clips.

You left out whopping them over the head with that oversized monster as well.
That being said, not happy with 410 as a self defense cartridge--marginal even in a long barrel.
I don't like gimmick guns much.
