Well, I was born the coal miner's daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That's the one thing that Daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

116 I was thinking last night, which universe would be most horrible as a normal, regular person to live in, Star Wars or Star Trek?

SW:
Slavery everywhere. Not just people, from poor to even princesses, but deliberately giving robots sentience just so they could know they were slaves. Even the "good guy" were eager slavers.
A civilization capable of interstellar travel, with not only tech that is near magical but actual magic.
And a sadistic glee for enslavement.

ST:
Military socialist dictatorship. And if you didn't join up, you basically didn't exist. Money doesn't exist. So you depend entirely upon the state for everything. While there's no scarcity (claimed) there is also no incentive to do anything.
A civilization capable of interstellar travel, with tech that is near magical.
And complete distain for anyone not Academy.

Doing genealogical research on ancestors and related family via marriage was extremely depressing, as had miners in the family going back to 19th century Nova Scotia and 20th century Butte, MT.

The vast majority of miners died in their 30s & 40s (the lucky ones made it to their 50s) from black lung, black lung, TB, et. al. Had a great uncle who's skull was crushed from a falling boulder, leaving a widow and five young children.

One hell of a tough way (admirable giving the lack of opportunities available to them at the time) to make a living and try to raise a family ...

She's just digging to dig and see what's down there.

The concrete is all new, I think, to comply with regulations.
yesterday, I watched her make a concrete shaker out of a reciprocating saw, some pex hose and a metal rod.
So she can insert it into the concrete poured on the top of her forms to shake it down into the crevasses and gaps.

Posted by: Elric Blade at April 11, 2025 10:28 AM (iFTx/)

Nah. The long build-up is one of the great strengths of "Sorcerer". It gives us a good idea of who these men are, why they are there, why they might take this job, and sets expectations to be confirmed or denied during the arduous job.

Without it we'd have no real interest in these guys except who gets blowed up real good.

This is why it's a superior movie to the original "Wages of Fear".

The economy I am leaving America is the best in the world, and stronger than ever for all Americans. 1/11/25

I miss him every day. Especially today. sad. nostalgic. longing. what a treasure that well over half of the U.S. population didn't recognize.
Just sayin'.
Good times, bad times....Led Zep said it better.

Still doesn't get the credit he deserves for the economy, even here on DU. He was handed a raging pandemic and an economy on the brink, and he delivered the biggest economic gains for working people in this country in several generations.

Years from now, the middle class in America is going to look back at the Biden years as the last years they really had a chance in this country.

And even as they trash his beautiful economy, they are still lying about him and slandering him on a daily basis. When President Biden lost in November we had 4% unemployment, 3% GDP growth, and 2% inflation.

I miss Joe, I miss not wondering every day if this is the day civil war starts, if this is the day our SS $ is stolen? Joe is such a good person, no hatred whatsoever, just love.

356 DU doesn't live in an alternate reality.
That would, at least, be a different interpretation of actual events.

They live in an artificial reality--nothing they believe is directly related to actual events.

The media is an alternate reality, a contrary interpretation of events to specifically aid a political philosophy.

DU is second level from that, their reality rest upon the alternative reality formed by the media.

360 Apparently, she went to private schools.
Saw a clip from a pre-election interview and she spoke like a regular person and seemed polite.

I don't know if this trash-talkin' ghetto thing is the persona, or the polite one was. The current persona gets a lot of attention, so I would guess it's here to stay.

They're really convincing and can definitely work.
