Another Groundhog Day flies right by.

Hey Phil



Do they actually do that in real life like in the movie, like with a full on celebration and all?

Enjoyed listening to this one today at lunch. I plan to make my way through Han's books. I guess, this is one more for the TBR.

LG holding off on making more 8K TVs until there's an indication that the marketplace wants it. Samsung hasn't mentioned anything about 8K models for 2026, so it sounds like it's dead.

If you were holding out for an 8K curved 3D TV, sorry.

 

[Candleicious Ghost]

Bah humbug who needs it?

I mean really who needs it?

 

[auntiehill]

So bored. Nothing to do today.

I hate to say this, but does anyone else think the Nancy Guthrie story isn't going to have a happy ending?
It's been two and a half days and there's been no word from the burglars/kidnappers, and, if you read between the lines during the press conference, the house/crime scene was pretty disturbing.​

It's so horrible. An innocent old lady, no harm to anyone. I can't imagine what her family are going through.

I'm waiting for them to invent bionic eyes so I can see the extra detail.

That's my feeling too. Story feels like a huge dark cloud. That was the literal impression I felt after reading the first story about this. A dark cloud and that it was very bad

I'm always complaining about all the speed demons out on the streets, but what are the rules about drivers who are too slow? Got stuck behind some guy who was 10 mph below the speed limit and wouldn't ever speed up. There was no one in front of him.

Just how big was 'Fantasy Island' anyway?

 

[Velocity]

Fantastically large.

Ennui should count as a disability.

Yuge the biggest. I've seen islands and it was yuge the best.


Serious answer as big as the plot needs it to be. Why did you ask?

MeTV+ has recently begun airing 'Fantasy Island' as part of their line-up and in this episode, two nurses wanted to experience the Civil War South of 'Gone with the Wind' and Roarke put them in the middle of Gettysburg, and while I know they were using stock footage, Gettysburg was a pretty big battle area with thousands of soldiers and equipment. Not something you conjure up out of thin air; especially on an island that is supposedly located off the coast of French Guiana.​

Yeah but Roarke was nothing short of an Angel or Q, and the island itself had magical powers, so anything was possible

Bigger on the inside than on the outside.

Have you seen the remake? It's a little soapish, but not bad.
