The original tends to have a certain magic that makes it work so well. Whenever you remake something there’s the risk that the magic is diluted, or lost completely. It’s extremely rare to add more of what makes it work. Sequels often suffer the same problems.

Basically it’s not that remakes are inherently worse, they tend to be more average. It’s just that studios don’t remake poor shows. So we tend to see a lot more of the decline.

These can get an impressive range to a water balloon. Reduce the mass with an egg and 1/2 mile is likely (just) within range.

I would say stink bombs are even lighter, but I doubt Trump can even smell them, over his own stink.

Collusion and bandwagoning are real things. A large number of accusations implies guilt a lot more, but doesn’t make it reliable. Trump particularly is slippery when it comes to pinning thing on him.

Women aren’t good or evil, they are human. Most are honest, some aren’t.

It’s definitely needed. I watched a relative pass. Her brain was gone from stroke damage. It took almost a fortnight for her to pass however. It was horrible.

Old Age Pensioners.

The age group most likely to drop dead, and so have the least scrutiny.

Fyi, the bat thing was while he was high as a kite. He thought it was a plastic bat, someone had thrown on stage. He discovered he was wrong the hard way!

Officially no. It’s actually something Ozzy was involved in the campaign for. There’s a religious crowd who freak out at the very idea. No government has yet had the will to push updates past them.

There are however doctors who will happily make a pain med prescription that is “incompatible with life”. If the patient happens to die, while dealing with the pain, well at least they weren’t in pain.

I believe the police also have a similar mindset. They won’t look too deeply, if they suspect it happened that way, with the patient’s consent. They do have the shadow of Harold Shipman hanging over them however. They missed a serial killer for years, since he was targeting OAPs.

It’s also worth noting that it wasn’t the hydrogen that caused the fire. The Hindenburg had an aluminium skin. It began having degradation issues, so they painted it. The paint was iron oxide based. Aluminium and iron oxide are the 2 main ingredients in thermite.

Analysis of the video shows that it was the skin burning off. It would have gone up almost as badly, even if filled with helium.
