This war has been going on since February. The situation has changed significantly since then. Do try and keep up if you’re just going to get hysterical over your lack of understanding

So does the US just get to blast a path thorough British Columbia to connect Washington and Alaska? I’m trying to find your logic as to how exclaves should be handled.

Reply to Inadequate pollination has led to a 3-5% loss of fruit, vegetable, and nut production and an estimated 427,000 excess deaths annually from lost healthy food consumption and associated diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers by Wagamaga

The connection seems kind of dubious to me. Who’s to say those excess deaths were the kinds of people who would eat healthy even if there were a few more apples in the produce section. There’s no shortage of healthy food where I live but I know folks who’ve never touched a green vegetable in their lives.

I can still do without the 90 minutes of driving through Japanese tunnels.

Stalker is an all-time great. Solaris picks up and becomes a great movie once they get off the Earth, but they fart around for a long time first.

Sodebergh probably fell asleep during the original and missed the point. It’s a classic movie, but man, does Tarkovsky take his time. The scene where they seemingly spend 90 uncut minutes driving through tunnels in Japan hypnotized me and put me to sleep. When I woke up the same driving scene was still going on!

I still prefer the Tarkovsky but the soundtrack in the Sodebergh version is phenomenal.
