In the remake Magua will seize Hawkeye as his bride, and while Cora Munro will track him down and beat him up in their final show down Hawkeye will instead save Magua and say he's actually always known he was a woman inside and they will walk off into the sunset in each other's arms.

Man discovers this painting bundled up in his recently deceased great aunt's attic Seems she had purchased it for her beloved husband who disappeared mysteriously within weeks of receiving it. Man becomes obsessed with finding out its painter and origins. The painter's great, great granddaughter reports that the painter died in a boating accident, as did her great grandfather, her grandfather, and her parents. Man is so charmed by the lovely lady he invites her out to a day of sailing. . .

I experienced something very similar to this, only-
we somehow miraculously stayed upright, landed perfectly, and floated peaceful downstream.
Unfortunately, the canoe behind us tipped, broke in half and one of the guys almost drowned by being caught in the revolving water flow just below the water fall.
We were luck we could get a rope to him before he drowned.

Apparently the pro-tax side is now admitting that a big driver in the town's increased costs are driven by Bidenflation..obviously the solution to inflation is more government spending.
But another amusing part that came out is the pro-tax side is arguing the federal aid to them was "unexpectedly" removed.
What was that aid? COVID money. They just pretended they were getting COVID money from Uncle Sugar as part of their permanent budget.

LOL! This literally happened to me. Well, something very similar.
I was a teenager when my mom's Kitchen-Aid mixer finally broke. We were out running errands, one of which was "replace the mixer." We went to buy it and it was, of course, expensive.
When it rang up, the clerk - a girl a bit older than me, so either a *very* young Xer or a leading-edge Millennial - commented that it was a lot of money for a mixer. My mom replied, "it is, but the last one worked well for 35 years, so it's worth the money." The girl's eyes widened and she said, "I didn't know they even *had* mixers 35 years ago."
I was dumbfounded.

I saw a story about a woman that fed a particular crow every day. She lost a ring down a steep drop near her house and couldn't get it and the next day when she went to feed the crow it had her ring. True? No idea but there have been cases of some animals do this sort of thing.
Heck at one point I was feeding a squirrel and one day it brought me a toadstool (nice thought but...no thanks)

But when you call the pizza joint, the IVR system you have to navigate before laboriously keying in commands or making your way through inaccurate and cumbersome voice recognition systems will certainly not be compatible with it.

So there was no attempt by law enforcement to help her get a license?
The New York pistol permit process can be an incredible PITA depending upon which county you are in. The closer you are to NYC, the harder it can get.
That's the dilemma. If E Jean Carroll had registered the gun, it would have hit the papers. And may have attracted lone wolves, seeking vengeance for their President.
As she didn't register the gun, she broke the law and lost the weapon for her protection, again, attracting lone wolves.
She should buy another.
Where are the gun wavers? The NRA? Thye should be defending her.
A High Standard 9-cylinder is a .22. About as innocuous a revolver as you can buy. Definitely not a Dirty Harry hand cannon.

The future of Cuba and the trajectory of communism are under threat, with citizens fighting back against the regime. Protesters are taking to the streets amid an ongoing economic crisis, making their concerns heard. Cuba’s communist leadership is facing a fierce backlash that has not been seen since similar protests in July 2021. Since the 2021 protests, it is estimated that nearly 500,000 Cubans have sought refuge in the United States.
.. obviously we know it will be claimed that Cuba really never had "true communism"

No. Had to deal with the few pro gun leftists as a mod at a general firearm site years ago. They cannot help but put their psychoses into their comments. They are essentially useless as supporters of the 2A because they buy guns as a fear response from imaginary issues or they have them because of a personal issue in their life (being stalked, etc.). All too often, they support 'reasonable' restrictions because they have their guns Jack as a bulwark against the White Christian Nationalists or whoever the media tells them to hate.

Tribute bands are a great way to enjoy the music of a band / artist at a tremendous value. They put in an outstanding effort to sound like the original performers, and they tend to adhere to the "shut up and sing" approach. Sometimes you can see multiple bands for a very reasonable price.
Last year I saw a double bill -- Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam tribute bands back to back for $25 at a very small venue. They were both amazing, and I didn't have to pay a ton of money to be far away from the stage and listen to a bunch of douchebaggery coming out of Eddie Vedder's mouth.

Yeah. Long gone are the days of "if you want good gas mileage, get a manual" and with CAFE, automatics are sort of needed at this point to squeeze out the fuel economy requirements. And if you're a city-dweller stuck in rush hour, manuals are a pain in the ass.
They're not going away, but they're essentially niche and are likely to stay that way.

Hmmm. This hasn't been my experience. They tend to hesitate when starting at, say, the light turning green.
Also, my biggest pet peeve when driving is people who do not know how to enter a highway. In my truck, I use the tach and keep the truck typically at third gear to match highway speed rapidly. I don't play around on an on ramp. Nothing pisses me off more than people who are hesitant there, or worse, stop on the on ramp.

Nah. Fixing an old car is nothing like the expense and hit that you get when buying a new one. Even engine replacement become reasonable.
Major pain in the butt for older ones is things that are rubber/plastic based deteriorating from age and internal wiring. Often easier costwise if not time wise to simply replace the entire wiring harness than track down various shorts etc on a old vehicle.

The concept takes less than that, even. The problem is figuring out how to get the car or truck rolling. Shifting from, say, second to third, is nothing. Taking the foot off the clutch and applying the right amount of gas to get the car or truck smoothly is the real trick.
I still can't believe my father turned out to be the best, most patient teacher of the stick shift.

In college, a friend's girlfriend learned to drive stick in a Subaru, which had a "hill hold" clutch. A group of us were taking a little trip and we were in my car. It was her shift to drive and at a light, she rolled backwards and panicked. Had never had to deal with it.
She got over it quickly, though. She did know how to drive, just had never experienced that behavior.

Trans replacements usually outprice engine replacements at this point. Modern automatics are seriously expensive.
But that isn't the point. It will be cheaper than a new car, yeah, for sure - and may be better value as well. That doesn't mean the price won't bring tears to your eyes, though.

Ant populations are marching one by one out of their natural habitat due to climate change. This signals yet another sign of the "insect apocalypse" that devastated their diversity and overall population worldwide.

Scary, isn't it! And it's amazing how long it takes to get back to normal. Although I guess pulling in front of a truck will speed that learning curve up right quick.

I tend to stay in the mainstream on vehicles because I don't have my identity tied up in them. Drove far too many different vehicles over the years including for work to get sentimental much about them. By avoiding the 'premium' models, one can pretty much find components from wrecked vehicles if nothing else. At a certain age though, these dry up.

The only way to find parts for my '78 Cutlass is to crawl around in kudzu infested junk yards.

That painting strongly resembles the scene from "A River Runs Through It" in which the two Presbyterian minister's kids ride a purloined skiff through "the chutes", a waterfall on the river in Missoula, MT.

Scientists think they have found a way to double the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. (Science Daily)
Lithium-ion batteries wear out a little each time they are recharged (and have another flaw that if you keep them on the charger full-time they can swell up and destroy your expensive gadget entirely).
In testing the effects of different charging patterns, researchers found that charging with high-frequency AC power caused half as much wear as regular DC power.
It should be cheap and simple to implement as well.
