Not crazy about the hed here. There's a strong implication that this is A) full replacement and B) everyone terminated is just going to say, "sure, I'll come back ... surely, there's no chance something like this could happen again."

The net result is fewer positions held by less experienced people. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with entry-level jobs (god knows I've had way more than I should have), but NWS is -- much like a newsroom -- on a set schedule. Education is important, but there's no substitute for experience.

Languages evolve along with cultures.
Rather sad if your language is stuck in time.

Eliminators (1986)


MANDROID. MERCENARY. SCIENTIST. NINJA. EACH ONE A SPECIALIST. TOGETHER THEY ARE ELIMINATORS!

A mad scientist uses the body of a downed pilot to build a cyborg he calls Mandroid. He then uses Mandroid as a guinea pig for his time-travel experiments, and, after they prove successful, he decides to send the cyborg to the junk yard. Mandroid is not amenable to this idea, however, and escapes. He sets out to find Nora Hunter, a robotics scientist who might be able to help him get revenge against his maker.

Lol, right?

I love how they didn't even bother to make the prosthetic look like it's in his head, but tacked onto the outside.

Star Trek The Next Generation had better prosthetics at the time, hahaha.

Awesome.

TNG was a premier show with a budget of $1.3-2 million USD per episode, so this doesn't surprise me at all. They probably had a higher budget for one episode than half the films shared here.

Honestly, the thing I would be most afraid of isn’t landing and being deported: if they simply denied entry to these people and turned them around to where the came from more would be willing to take the chance.

No, what stops people from travelling to the US is the non zero chance that they may rub someone the wrong way, have the wrong social media post, or simply the wring colour skin, and end up incommunicado in a miserable wretched ‘detention facility’ or concentration camp for weeks on end.

Meanwhile Las Vegas is wondering, “Where did all the Canadians go?” 🙄
