Right there with ya. A pretty decent ending for a pretty decent show...
Not sure if I'll ever watch that one. Too long man. I'm on Van Helsing right now and even that one at 13 episodes a season is a little long.

How terribly silly! Did they not know that Batman is a fictional comic-book character and as such was highly unlikely to ever see it.

Did someone mention Remote.... Control?? (i still have this board game!)

I'm surprised no one has put forth the idea of creating a blockchain for elections.

I'd argue voting is in a class by itself, importance-wise, but you might be an exception anyway, because we've had voting machines here for a decade or two, and I live in a pretty poor area.

I moved to a neighboring area. The voting machines in the area I left were the paper ballots inserted into a computer. You do the selections on a screen and it marks them for you. Remove the ballot. It shouldn’t take 10 minutes to vote when you can only have 8 people voting at one time.

I get into the argument with my dad a lot, I just feel like we could do better. So many important things; banking, insurance, taxes, etc., are done electronically.
