The cynic in me thinks Vance and the rest of the GOP are waiting until Jan 21, 2027, or shortly thereafter, to remove Trump.

That gives Vance a nearly two-year trial run, and the built-in incumbent advantage (as long as he can blame everything on Trump) in 2028. Being less than two years as replacement President also maintains his eligibility to run twice more.

If Vance takes over now, he can't run in 2032 (assuming they do enough fuckery that he's re-elected in 2028).

Remember when gas prices spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine? Biden's fault. But when Trump invades Iran and gas prices spike? Also Biden's fault!

Sewer line is sagging, so there's a 30ft section that is trapping anything that gets flushed or drained. I called them out to fix a backup, and they found why it backed up alright.

He had to leave to get a better locator to see exactly where in the yard/street would need to be dug up, but it seems to be pretty close to the city connection, so probably in or near the street, which could make the cost that high if it involves excavating the road.

About 10 minutes ago my plumber said my problem may cost in the neighborhood of $30k to fix. Yay.

I only get to the theater maybe 5-6 times per year, and that's almost always with my spouse, so the movie is secondary to the experience.

I do watch a lot on streaming, and between the summary, genre, actors, director, and reviews, both professional and word-of-mouth...I can usually pick out what I will enjoy. If it turns out bad, it's one button to turn it off.

I will watch good movies, and skip terrible movies. Whether they are in a franchise or not has no bearing on it, for me.

So go ahead and make more. I may see it. I may not. But I'm not going to begrudge anyone who wants to see more of that character no matter what.
