Backstage Right Angle

Right Angle: Backstage (08-04-2020)

When these three titans come together in one room, the intellectual firepower is a thing to behold. This is why they’re sequestered in undisclosed locations in three states to plan this week’s episodes of Right Angle.

Or if channeling Dean Martin and Joe E. Lewis
Keep your drink on the ground and keep reaching for the floor.

So, if there’s early voting, and sooooome people note for Biden, and then Biden gets swapped out for someone else, does that vote count??? Just asking’…

Likely yes. Remember you are not actually voting for a candidate, you are voting for Electors.

<sarc>Yes, it will fade into a sense of ennui and cynicism that will gradually take over your whole life…</sarc>

The discussion concerning Roman numerals reminded me of the situation a few years back when the “Malcolm X” movie came out and the youngsters were calling it “Malcolm the Tenth”.

Scott,
It seems that your memory is often as flaky as my own. Here’s a cheat sheet for future use:

  • LIGHTENING: The act or fact of becoming or making light or less heavy.
  • LIGHTNING: An abrupt, discontinuous natural electric discharge in the atmosphere.

Dampen means “to get wet.” One often hears it used, though, wrt to vibration, sound, etc. The correct term is “damp.” Usage is winning.

That strikes me as correct. After my initial shock of embarrassment, I should thank you for lightning my mental load.

😀 I really do enjoy a good pun, and you provided more than one. Thank you, sir.

Pod learning: Steve Hilton, The Next Revolution on Fox started a movement to get people to petition their local and state governments to return their tax money associated with school funding. All Parents should have the option of using their tax dollars as they deem appropriate for their children’s education.

Pandemic Pods.. another member and I had a short comment exchange about something similar on another show.
When I’ve heard other news articles about them recently they talk about the disadvantaged falling behind. I’m thinking this is like government math where if you don’t get as much as you ask for, you’ve “lost” or had “cuts”. The rich kids aren’t getting ahead, they’re just keeping pace. The poor kids are falling behind the standard but that’s nothing to do with what other kids are, or are not, doing.
I am not sure on the web casting of the sessions though. I suppose that would be useful for other kids stuck at home, but I wouln’t worry about the treatment my kid (had I one) at someone else’s house. I’d know the person well enough to have been there several times and know how they treat their own kids so I would know if they could handle mine.
Regarding Striving for Adequacy…. “If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, do not be ashamed, for you have aspired to greatness…and the moon had it coming.”
You ask: “What year did WWII end?”
Moron in Tshirt: hang on, lemme ask google. Oh, guess my connection is down. (must not be enough kids taking STEM classes before a stint in the Tech-Corps.)
