Never unfortunately.

It's been three years since season 3 and there has been not been a word about another season from Hulu.

My personal theory is that McFarlane signing on with NBC bruised the ego of an executive who had a say in the renewal process and this is petty revenge.

His contact with Disney (acquired when they bought Fox) expired, Seth got the offer from NBC and Disney refused to do better.

While a general contract with Disney isn't required for him to do another season of Orville, the negotiations falling through probably soured the relationship there.

His animated shows make enough money to drag Disney to the table but Orville doesn't pull in the same money for the cost.

Something like that, yes.

And my guess would be Marcy being Polaski

No, what Israel is doing makes sense from a strictly selfish point of view.

The question of 'Why doesn't Israel integrate the Palestinians?' is a good one. The answer is numbers.

Israel was founded as a Jewish ethnostate. Those who have immigrated there have done so because they wanted to live in a Jewish ethnostate. So one of the core values of the country is that it is primarily a place for Jews.

If Israel absorbed the populations of Gaza and the West Bank into Israel, the Jewish population would become a minority in Israel if not immediately then within a generation.

I don't agree with the idea of ethnostates in general and I do believe establishing Israel as one was a mistake.

... But if you imagine the viewpoint of someone who does want a Jewish ethnostate like so many in Israel you can see why this solution is a non starter.

The legislature can and will find ways to neuter the amendment.

They did it here in Florida when we voted to restore the rights of felons after their punishment was complete.

The legislature ruled that the felons had to pay back all outstanding fees before they could get their rights back. Felons get changed by the jail for their stay, so most leave with 100s of thousands in debt on the books.

Then the state purposely makes it impossible for felons to even find out how much they owe, meaning even if they were to somehow get the money paying is very difficult.

It has effectively prevented any felons from getting their voting rights back. I think the actual number who have is less than 10 and we passed that amendment in 2020.

Headline is still accurate.

Target practice a battle does not make.

I've gone to playing Project 1999, an OG EverQuest emulator server.

It's only up to velious and it's as close to how the game was back then as you can get.

I don't recommend it to people who never played EQ back in the day - games have changed far too much for this ancient game to be fun for most people who don't have nostalgia for that era of gaming.

But sounds like you might, so I thought I'd suggest it to you.

My gas hot water heater does not have an electric start.

I just don't see the value versus the effort I guess.

I don't currently have a valid passport; I haven't felt a need for one.

America itself is so big that I can spend my life visiting different parts of it and never run out.

Having a passport and traveling intentionally just feels like an unwanted hassle.

It's normal for young children to have a music class, usually this is primarily a 'fun' class and includes a lot of chorus singing.

This was one of the songs sung in the class when I was a kid.

That's not how it works were I live.

There are no pumps involved. Fresh water pipes are under pressure from the city water distribution system. Sewage pipes drain via gravity.

There is never a reason to 'pump' sewage because the city sewage lines are below any sewage lines in my house.
