It’ll die when it’s not getting the ratings to carry on anymore. Stop watching and it’ll stop being made.

I’m not certain about the history of this particular person, but there’s a military tradition built around carrying a pfennig.

from https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/military-challenge-coin-origins :

Another lower enlisted tradition began in post-WWII Germany as assigned U.S. troops would carry West German money with them. The exchange rate was so bad that the One Pfennig coin was hardly worth a fraction of a penny and had nearly zero value to American troops. So, only the poorest of the poor would bother saving them — until troops gathered to drink. If someone would shout, “Pfennig check!” everyone would empty their pockets to see who was poor (if you had the near-worthless coin) and who wasn’t (if you were above keeping them). If you were “rich” enough to not need to carry a worthless coin, you were rich enough to buy your brother-in-arms a drink.

I still can’t believe there wasn’t more backlash when they called their tablet the Amazon Fire.

I take it your step son watched Blue Streak?

It’s a thing he does in the bible. It’s an act of service. It’s a menial task that he willingly does to show that everyone should help one another even if it’s only in the most basic of things.

Money on it’s the president. It costs a boatload to secure an entire golf course.

The Leftovers - 2% of the worlds population just vanishes. Enough to freak people out but not cause the complete collapse of civilization.

The Endgame - High class criminal commits crimes by way of getting herself arrested. There’s only 1 season. Ignore the last ~10 minutes of the last episode and the story wraps up fine.

Counterpart - Mid-level bureaucrat finds out there’s a doorway to a parallel dimension with whom the world’s been in a secret cold war

Firefly is the top result when I search “space cowboy show” and I do seem to recall an episode where they transported cattle; but, I have to agree that calling them cowboys is an exaggeration on my part.

The IMDB link is for a movie literally called Space Cowboys. The general point is that the theme is not exclusive to one show.

Space Cowboys? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0186566/

Firefly is about space cowboys. Assuming it’s a reference to Cowboy Bebop is a big jump.

It’s funny that the supreme court didn’t consider that consequence of telling the president that he’s immune to the courts.

Not knowing any German I can’t tell the difference between this being correct or your putting down “the water sloshing noise machine” with a German accent.

The patient is asked to mark it so that the doctors can’t screw up the marking. It pushes liability on the patient.

It also explained why Cecil freaked out so badly about Mark’s reaction. Cecil killed people at that stage.
