No, the prequels are objectively, undeniably, infinitely worse than the originals. I didn't grow-up with Star Wars at all, but finally saw them more recently, so there's no nostalgia influencing my opinion.

Search Youtube for "plinkett star wars episode 1" for an in-depth, detailed expert analysis of just how incredibly awful the prequels are. Ep1 is right-up there with Waterworld as quite possibly the worst big-budget movie ever made by a major studio.

Sacramento, CA has a spooky underground, too, dating from the late 1800s when the town was raised-up by 10ft to alleviate the problem of routine flooding.

Scientists say airline food only tastes bad because your taste buds only barely function at the reduced atmospheric pressure and humidity of a cabin.

I did notice this when hiking up a mountain... Around 8,000ft the flavoring in my water was faint, and completely undetectable at the summit, only to reappear while descending. I have to wonder how much good reviews of beach-front restaurants are impacted by their low altitude and higher humidity, rather than the food.

Hate to ruin the fun, but a completely flat-bottomed chair like that will be painfully uncomfortable. Even a fairly thick pad won't do it. You need a swoop, with the front higher than the back. I imagine that's pretty difficult to manage with a shopping cart.

I went through the sign-up process several times before it finally "took". Even now, right below this comment box it tells me I haven't verified my e-mail address... It says I have 24 hours to verify before my account is disabled... I've been using this account for 4 months, now. Just waiting until my account is suddenly inaccessible one of these days. Neatorama has never sent me an e-mail, no matter how many dozens of times I click "resend". Nothing in my spam folder. Never sent.

Actually, just tried it again and it finally worked for the first time. Doesn't explain why it was hosed-up for months.

A bit out-of-date... It was taken to the landfill Friday morning, unloaded with a forklift, and reportedly doesn't smell too bad after the disgusting ordeal.

The driver suspected of ransom/theft has a long criminal record, too.

The police arrested him on unrelated charges Friday night, giving them plenty of time to decide if they want to charge him for the truck and cargo extortion and theft:

That was my first thought, as well, but that doesn't appear to be the case at all:

"Detectives later learned that suspect-driver, Christopher L. Hall, had an extensive criminal history and is wanted on a federal parole violation. Hall is now also wanted for the alleged theft of a 2013 Volvo semi truck worth $160,000." --The Montana Standard

I don't want a skinny phone... I always demand a slider, which are quite a bit thicker, but well worth it for the saved screen real-estate and dramatically faster input. In the past, I've avoided AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile, because they didn't have decent choices of sliders at the time I was considering switching to their services.

Things improved for a while, but seem to be backsliding once again. Sliders usually have terribly out of date versions of Android, smaller batteries, etc. On the plus side, it's easier to avoid the huge-screen-you-can't-operate-with-one-hand craze, too.

I can't help but wonder what future archaeologists (perhaps aliens) will come up with when they find the ruins of Centralia, PA... Sink-holes, ground upheavals, poisonous gases venting, and yet some strange civilization build a town right on top of it! Perhaps they were worshipers of a fire god and this was their holy land. Or maybe this was one of a few habitable sites, with the subterranean heat providing a refuge from the encroaching glaciers, as the planet plunged into a new ice-age...
