  • I’ve been rewatching Monk, and something that really struck me is how much of the plot is based on coincidences, and it really makes it easy to pick out the killer. I was watching an episode where Captain Stottlemeyer mentions offhand an unsolved murder at a golf course, and later on someone Monk is talking to has a golfing trophy. Immediately knew it was him because golf had been mentioned twice and this show never wastes a Chekhov’s gun, or tries very hard to misdirect. I remember saying “I don’t know why yet but it’s him.”







  • That’s the worst part, I agree with his point that we shouldn’t have blanket prosecutions…just like we shouldn’t have blanket pardons.

    I think a good followup would have been “Do you believe it is also possible there are BLM protestors who likewise had the book thrown at them?” Bring it back to the question of why they think their “protest” is more acceptable than the BLM protests.

    But it’s weird, that didn’t feel like a modern Republican interview exchange to me. Yeah he’s doing the soundbites but he’s actually responding with…logic rather than feelings? Or at least as close to logic as a Republican candidate can get these days.



  • the rule where it couldn’t be more than 12 characters long

    This is the one I don’t get. Sure you don’t want people putting in an infinitely long password, but I like to have my passwords at around 15 characters. Why are you forcing me to make a less secure password?

    Only reason I can think of is storage but even at a massive scale, this is text, paying for that storage would cost as much as a rounding error.
