At the risk of being considered a massive ignoramus, is there an all-female supergroup? If not, who would be your membership nominations, those consisting of artists from roughly the late-'70s through the '80s? I just watched a video about the Bangles that made me curious. Starting out, personally, I was pondering various members of The Bangles, The Go-Go's, and The Runaways. The particular years aren't set in stone, so there's nothing that excludes those in Heart, Blondie, The Pretenders, Vixen, Femme Fatale, Pat Benatar, Fleetwood Mac, etc. from the roster.

I see people doing this more and more frequently, and it’s beyond stupid, especially when it requires driving the wrong way down a one way aisle or doing a multi-point (3 is never enough) turn.

I'm re-watching the Crazy Rich Asians video, when Nick's mom is denied (based upon race) the Lancaster suite at a posh London hotel in 1995. Being an American, I usually associate that kind racism with the 50s and 60s in the US. How recent and prevalent is that sort of racism in the UK, or in Canada or Australia, for that matter? As a frequent business travel in the US, I'm pretty certain that something of that sort wouldn't have flown in the US in 1995, and I'm talking about upper end hotels spanning the West Coast to the Mid-West to the East Coast, US.

It really annoys me when the showrunners and/or writers think it's somehow a more fitting end if the beyond-a-doubt guilty bad guy is shot dead before he or she can be brought to trial, especially if the one who'd be facing the trial is arrogant and egotistical where being tried means having to confront widespread public shame and humiliation. I also dislike it when, after being found guilty, the bad guy is shot dead before he or she can be incarcerated, especially if it involves really heinous pedophile child abductors, where prison would almost certainly be particularly brutal. This happens way too often, where those who wrote the episode are under the misapprehension that an extrajudicial

The show often uses real life serial killers as bases for episodes. Anyone know some interesting real life serial killers who haven't yet been tapped? What brought this question to mind was a Radiolab piece, "The Buried Bodies Case", that I heard on NPR, today, which was about the Robert Garrow case, the subject of the book, "Terror in the Adirondacks". The guy was a real scary piece of work, including being terrifyingly cunning and patient.

Edit - I'm thinking of infamous serial killers who haven't yet been used and who would make for a compelling episode(s) inspiration.

Every morning, I come out to find one of my newly planted herbs gone. There's no empty hole, like one would except if the plant was dug up; there's just a bunch of dirt where the plant used to be, like it's been filled in. Can anyone tell me what it most likely is and how I can stop it? This just started happening within the last couple of months, and happens at night, after 2:00 AM and before 8:00 AM. I'm in Northern California. We get raccoons, mice, and squirrels, but they've always left my garden alone.

Mine are when when Penelope displays the messages to the kidnapped IT guy for the assassin ring, when Alvez tells Shaw that he's being transferred to a Michigan prison, when Reid tells Cat to "watch me", and when Tara tells Melissa "that is a magic bullet".

I want to make kebabs using Persian skewers (which are like swords and I'm really looking forward to trying them), so, obviously, I won't be using cherry tomatoes. I get that you skewer them through the sides, but, when they're done, what about the stems and the seeds? At least with Roma tomatoes, I've only used them for guacamole and Pico De Gallo, where I remove the stems and seeds, and dice them, so I'm unfamiliar with working with whole tomatoes. Advice, please.

The temper tantrums are certainly something to deal with. My mom has relatively mild dementia (not Alzheimer), but she throws tantrums when she tries things like giving away food that I've bought, for my consumption (I have certain dietary requirements) and I countermand her; she, thinking that she paid for the food, not me, says that she'll move to some place and not tell us where so that we cannot find her. It's hard seeing her with the emotional maturity of a 9 year old. She just can no longer make decisions. Recently, she's taken to trying to use toothpaste as eye shadow. Just venting, here.

I hate people who brake on curves on non-mountainous curves on the freeway, as they cause traffic jams. I’m specifically thinking of Hwy 101 and Hwy 280, in Northern California. Those were specifically designed for 70 mph speeds, so there’s no need to brake if you’re driving 65 - 70 mph, those assholes.

I thought my lemon thyme was dead when I buried it two years ago. Then, I saw a sprout. This is it today. It is mighty.

Personally, I really enjoyed the episode, especially at the end, when Dr. Tara Lewis confronted Melissa Miller with the "Magic Bullet", and Rossi arrested her. The look on her face was priceless; good acting job on her part.

This woman keeps calling on behalf of "Rewards Services", and I keep hanging up as soon as she says this. How many times do I have to do this before they get the message and stop calling? This is my mom's landline connection, which, unfortunately, doesn't have caller ID. Is there some way that I can make it costly for them, for each call?

I have a hard time watching Marionette (s08e10) because I find it really disturbing, mainly the scenes of the victims being dis-articulated on that rack device, and when they just flop down when lowered from the pulley contraption. I don't want to imagine the prolonged agony that the victims must be experiencing.
