Europa Report (2013) is a found-footage science fiction film about an international crew on a privately funded mission to Jupiter's moon Europa to search for extraterrestrial life in its subsurface ocean.
relatively low budget but you wouldn’t know it from the effects, the movie looks great and is extremely well made. The plot is tight, the acting is good and the story engrossing.

It’s one of my very favorite sci-fi movies of all time

don’t use soil around and over the roots, use sand and/or dead leaves and bark mulch. The just add more as it breaks down

re: Range vs. Rangetop + Wall Ovens

we deleted a pair of electric wall ovens and a standalone cooktop for a new 36” gas range with 6 open burners and a single oven below. The oven door hinges down.

It is so much better it pains me that we didn’t do it earlier. The oven will fit two sheet pans side by side so we have not had an issue thus far with missing the second oven. I did consider a 48” unit with two oven chambers but it would have been too much and too big for the spot.

blue star is what we got and it’s flat out awesome. Get the open burners. As you noted the price difference between 36 and 48 is substantial. We are older than you are, the crouching for the oven is not at all an issue

Go to campos and look at the blue star ranges

Very impressive
I have not attempted onions or potatoes yet I’m a little intimidated by the drying/curing

No, no thoughts whatsoever

whatever people are willing to pay. Taylor Swift is one of one. To her credit, those “four figure” prices were not face value they were secondary resale prices. She could have and probably should have set face value higher than she did. You are using an example of extreme (unprecedented?) demand to determine “worth” of a commodity. I’m not sure why people insist on doing that

a leader, you mean? No man we can’t have that…a serious basketball player who would not put up with pussified bullshite? Horrible idea

I have a very hard time believing he would be remotely happy about being here.
brown is a different kind of cat…the complete opposite of a moron like Zion. He’s smart, disciplined, engaged in serious activities outside basketball and a well rounded individual. He is exactly the kind of person this teams needs as a leader, and exactly the kind of player who can decide his own fate. I doubt seriously he would agree to any trade to a team like the pelicans.

he’s from Marietta so I would expect he would push for the hawks who just so happen to have a very enticing draft pick courtesy of our other moron

re: Cost of gutters?

there’s an upside to a gutter full of leaves. They are usually wet and starting to rot which makes them ideal cover for landscape beds and gardens. I usually dump them in a garbage can or wheelbarrow from the ladder then straight to the garden. Or, you can leave them in the can and fill it with water to make leaf tea

Much less work than raking
Jaylen Brown is an exponentially better basketball player than Trey Murphy

Boring squares or near enough squares is what it should be
I’ve always thought the most equitable solution would be to overlay a graph of squares over the state and let the district lines fall where they fall. In Louisiana you would still have a majority black district for New Orleans and possibly one for BR but whatever it winds up being would be free of any racial gerrymander. Both parties are equally guilty of drawing districts to favor themselves

the band I go see the most has ticket prices between 50-100 bucks depending on venue and location and just this year completely sold out their winter and spring tour dates (until the bandleader broke his leg :LOL:). Many of those dates sold out the day of the presale

Shitty music doesn’t sell, but good music will always sell. Support good music and you’ll always have a show to go see

Nola Mia pizza, ponchatoula
I am very happy to report that the food quality has improved significantly from our last visit. It has always been good but if they were too busy the food suffered. Up for grabs as usual but everything was excellent
