Same. All I remembered her was as Dawn from Buffy, but she's done quite a lot of good work.

Same but also from Euro Trip.

Well here. Light switches are typically placed high and away from water to begin with. The only way that light switch would be dangerous is without the faceplate. Even with high moisture in a bathroom with a shower.

Also we have outlets out now that have plastic shields within the outlet that won't ...

I was just about to say, they misidentified the dog and it was in a crate not a cupboard, as previously reported. Which kinda explains why it was dead and the others not. Poor dog.

In terms of light switches, the idea is that you can’t cause a problem by operating them with wet hands.


Yeah the ...

Our electric sockets are the safest in the world but are still not allowed in bathrooms. An earth pin is fitted to every plug and makes contact before the life and neutral pins are allowed to even enter the socket. Every outlet has to be fused, as do just about every individual plug. Only ...

It's a good theory, an autopsy would easily identify that. Electrical sockets are not allowed in bathrooms in the UK. The only exception is a low wattage razor charge socket, which is of a different design from any other power plug in the UK.


Here in the US it's required to be GCFI outlets ...

They are still trying to figure it out. Sounds like Hackman had a cardiac episode as he has a pacemaker. They were able to find out it stopped working 9 days before his body was found.

His wife presumably saw him collapse or on the floor and tried to grab his medication. She dropped dead getting ...

Yeah. This I will keep my eye on for updates.

Gene Hackman his wife of over 30 years and one of their dogs was found dead on Wednesday. Gene was in a different room and his wife was in the bathroom. They appeared to have died awhile.

They did look into monoxide poisoning and found no leaks. So now it's a mystery now.

Gene was 95.

From what I understand, she just had a liver transplant. Perhaps complications from that?

Way too young.

That's interesting.

30 minutes long, but a story about how the Carpathia put in the effort to rescue the Titanic's passengers.

One note is that the Carpathia's engine and hull were rated for 14 knots, but the ship got up to 17 knots. This was done by shutting down heating and hot water service so all the steam from ...

Hmmm, agreed. Thanks a bunch to everyone for their input on this. :)


To throw a wrench in your math. You could do the other way around. Make the X-Wing 100 as a base line. Fighters are used alot in Star Wars. I mean the numbers for capital ships would be huge though.



Well which ...

Well, I would have to agree with that assessment, though I’m not sure that doing the Imperial-I at 1,000 would be appropriate, considering just how powerful even that class was ….


Its not a matter of how powerful it is, but to be used as baseline ship. But you also need to reflect older ...

It feels to me that it would be somewhat illegitimate (perhaps the right word) to simply rename a different ship to Enterprise for the purposes of the museum. But, we all have our own opinions :D

What LaForge did with the "D" was different, as at least part of that was still the original ship ...

You answered your own question. Not many in existence.

We know the OG 1701 was destroyed and she wasn't even in her original form. The A can reflect that. We have no idea what happened to the B. C was destroyed. D exists in semi name due to being rebuilt with retired Galaxy parts with the saucer ...
