Quote"When considering the worst-case location... the probability that a specific person (i.e., you) will be struck by Tiangong-1 debris is about one million times smaller than the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot," it added.

Thus pretty much guaranteeing I will get hit.

Can we get a list of your games now, so we can start dividing it up between ourselves.

QuoteAlthough experts have not yet determined exactly where the out-of-control module will land, an Aerospace report detailed that it will likely re-enter somewhere in the northern U.S. states, parts of South America, northern China, the Middle east, central Italy, northern Spain, New Zealand, the south of Africa or Tasmania in Australia.

That's...pretty much everywhere.

The great Johnny Cash song comes immediately to mind..."I've been ev-er-y where, man..."

So we're gonna be 'Wham-Donged' by the Tiangong? Could be worse. Rosie O'Donnell could be on it. How would you like to have THAT land on your face first thing in the morning?  :hide:

Have they even added a new season in awhile? 

Must be too un-PC for Netflix these days.   :-"

Fox, FX, FXX, et al, are all having a legal battle at the moment with Netflix and are removing their shows from there to put them on Hulu.

This includes Sons of Anarchy, The League, and It's Always Sunny, too. :(

The end goal seems to be these networks want to build their own versions of Netflix using their own content (case in point, Disney is doing just this in 2019, God help us all), but are all deciding on Hulu as a stopgap until they can deploy their own streaming service. You might have noticed a huge increase in Netflix "original content" - this is why; they're focusing on their own production now while studios bail on them, which is a shame and a half. It might be time to bail on Netflix.
