Poe's law stalks this response. That's all I can say here.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Poe's law is necessary in any medium of communication where facial and body queues are missing. It's been that way since FidoNet, if not before.

There was nothing else I could say in response that wouldn't dive into the political arena so I stayed my hand.

Covid conspiracy theories, like their flat earth, fake moonlanding and crop circle cousins have long since and many times been disproved and debunked. I figured the Code Project crowd were a more intelligent bunch...

Intelligence and education levels seems to have no correlation to gullibility. That holds true in political and religious arenas as well.

Apparently, it's pretty good: Top Gun: Maverick - Rotten Tomatoes[^] gave it 97%.

It will be interesting what the regular audience has to say about this movie.
It is my experience that quite often, the disparity between the Professional Critics and the audience voting scores is significant.

Looks pretty good from the trailer
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

I am sure it will be good. Some really good actors and actresses in this movie.

Good acting can't make up for bad writing.

Good writing can't make up for bad directing.
Good directing can't make up for bad audio.
Good audio can't make up for bad lighting.
Good lighting can't...
and your point is?

Absolutely. I'm having to pay for mine.

Dij doesn't lay on the keyboard, he walks over it and types everything he can: mutes the volume, ENTERs data, types 4 million "e"s, or activates strange bits of Windows I didn't know existed.
If my code doesn't compile, the first thing I look for is stuff he entered ...
He has successfully sent his own emails, made phone calls, and appears to like some strange youtube videos.

A hillbilly went hunting one day in West Virginia and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home where he was confronted by an ornery game warden who didn't like hillbillies. The game warden ordered the hillbilly to show his hunting license, and the hillbilly pulled out a valid West Virginia hunting license. The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed it's butt, and said, "This duck ain't from West Virginia. This is a Kentucky duck. You got a Kentucky hunting license, boy?" The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced a Kentucky hunting license.
The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed it's butt, and said, "This ain't no Kentucky duck. This duck's from Tennessee. You got an Tennessee license?" The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced an Tennessee license. The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck. "This duck's from Virginia. You got a Virginia hunting license?"
Again the hillbilly reached into his wallet and brought out a Virginia hunting license. The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at the hillbilly, "Just where the hell are you from?"
The hillbilly turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said, "You tell me, you're the expert!"
