   From the outside, it looks like the people in the USA support Trump and all his crimes. Surely he should be removed from office by now?

   Arguably it depends more on the atmospheric pressure to get boiling water as close as possible to 100°C. The general rule of thumb is that black tea (i.e. fermented tea leaves) should be brewed at 100°C, green tea (non-fermented tea leaves)

   As an English native, I'd rather see proper nouns in a dictionary before seeing "compound words". Personally, I don't agree that "boiling water" is a word (with a space) - I would refer to it as a phrase if it

    I'm a fan of time travel sci-fi films and series, but the way that's presented as a romance film (written and directed by Richard Curtis) has always turned me off from it. On the plus side, it has Bill Nighy who I think is superb,

    I recently watched a Korean sci-fi series based on time travel - Sisyphus, The Myth (or Sijipeuseu: The Myth as titled in IMDB) that has one character being sent back in time and proceeds to deliberately amass power and wealth. They have a

    It takes a certain personality to continue hoarding wealth even when you know that it comes from exploiting others. The reason why they can't just not do demonstrably evil things is that they have relied on doing evil things to get to

    On average, TNG has better episodes, but it doesn't come close to the multi-season story arc of Babylon 5 and I think the character arcs of Londo and G'Kar are possibly the best of any drama that I've seen. Also, Babylon 5 la

    "Suffering" would be putting it a bit strongly. Unfortunately, there's some very important episodes that set up major plot arcs that you don't get to appreciate until later on, so maybe it's worth just watching the

    If you're new to Babylon 5, pay attention to the Londo and G-Kar characters. They are presented as semi-comedic characters at the start, but have the most incredible character arcs.

    I believe B5 was the first sci-fi show to do this kind of multi-season story arc. For all the poor acting and filler episodes, it is still hugely influential.
