I wanted a fun thread or seed to see what everyone enjoys watching, whether its Netflix, Hulu, or regular TV.... My hubs is mad that I'm still paying for hulu, but I watch it and I've been waiting for "Castle Rock" to start airing. Others on hulu would be the "Handmaidens Tale" and "The Path". Netflix, I'm currently watching "Rectify". I think I may stop paying for cable since we only watch a...

Threads Comments on an article tend to split into threads of discussion.   A thread is a topic comment along with its set of reply comments.    The topic comment typically focuses on an aspect of the article and, properly done, the replies would do likewise.   The current hierarchic structure of NewsTalkers facilitates threads by organizing comments into a basic hierarchy as shown below:...

...to borrow from the group Rise Against. No, I have not been kicked out of NT.  No, Perrie and I have not had a lover's quarrel.  And no, I have not died. Frankly, I've been taking a mental health break from NT.  Because...well...this place is chock full of lunatics and Kool-aid drinking liberals.  And sometimes, it gets tiring saying the same thing to the same people and getting the same...

I was driving through West Virginia today, returning from a family reunion, and had to pull over for this view.

Snarkiness is still here. I hope I have gotten over my own snarkiness. It is why I took some time away from here. I do find it interesting that those who bemoan the loss of civility, are themselves most guilty of non-civility. It isn't just here, it is everywhere.  So go on. Keep being the wonderful epitome of that which you decry in others. I will be there to point it out and make you...

We have had articles about favorite music, favorite songs, favorite artists. I don't know if we actually had one based on the visual video. Back in the day they were usually cheaply made and cheesy. Even if the music was really good. Sometimes the video did not even seem to match the song. I think the first video that was played on MTV was Video Killed The Radio Star. I think now with...

It has been a while since I posted about this build.  Frankly, after building the custom fairwater to model the USS Lapon, the rest of the build is rather vanilla.  The only variations are the PE additions. And that’s what I started with.  I used the Eduard PE set to replace the kit’s bow free flood baffles. This assembly is installed within the bow section.  I painted...

I have seen that some folks here on NT are not aware of how to embed YouTube videos here on the new site. For those who need help with this, I am posting the steps here for you. Find the YouTube video you want to insert Click on the   Share   tab in gray under the video Click on the   Embed   icon to present the URL. Copy the link in the window which displays the link by clicking...

Moderators now have a support system to automate most of the manual work that has taken place behind the scenes.   The new system will be largely transparent to members - especially if one is never suspended.   Most of the new functionality will only be seen (and used) by the moderators. The most visible change to members will be the flagging icons (and behavior), the new moderation area and...

 First, you know what an earworm is? It's that damn commercial jingle, or segment of a song, quotes. Things like that just rolls around and around in your head seemingly forever. My mother who I was pretty close to had them all the time but she would just sing it or say it and all the time in the kitchen. Which is where she was most of the time anyway. On any given day I would hear the same...

I finished my last blog with the Periscope Shears and the lookout platform built.  I’ve been rather busy adding quite a bit of detail to this part of the superstructure.  Unfortunately, I didn’t take a lot of pictures (read none) to show the progress.  But I will show each of the details I’ve added now.  Reference photo is at the bottom. I’ll start with the SJ Radar mast....
