2006年12月1日 · Persona non grata is correct, and as mentioned, the final “a” of grata is a necessary match to the final “a” of persona. Persona non gratis is nonsensical, and if you found many examples of it, you found many examples of ignorance (no big surprise).

2024年1月9日 · What is the deal with Alina Habba? She reminds one of a Fox news host. On the surface, she appears to be utterly incompetent as an attorney; (in)famously doing things like neglecting to request a jury trial for Trump’s New York civil fraud case, and if a tithe of the allegations against her are true, she appears not to have a shred of integrity. Yet she’s managed to get into Trump’s ...

2011年11月1日 · Mossad assassin team leader Avner (Eric Bana) and his handler Ephraim (Geoffrey Rush) are talking in a New York City park. Ephraim urges Avner and his family to return to Israel; Avner refuses. Avner then, invoking Jewish hospitality, invites Ephraim to come to dinner at his house that night; Ephraim simply says “No,” and walks away. The camera pulls back and we see the NYC skyline ...

2003年6月18日 · It was an extremely difficult shoot and Cameron is absolutely unrelenting in getting things perfect. I don’t know if Ed Harris and him are still persona non grata though. The scene that nearly killed him was when he was wearing the liquid breathing suit and falling down the front of the cliff on the way to the bomb.

2024年12月8日 · People keep bugging me to define what ‘woke’ means, but that’s not an easy task. Probably the best definition is to say that ‘woke’ refers to the ideas believed by and spread by the Social Justice movement, and to the societal changes and policies pushed by them. But what is the Social Justice movement? Some history: fifty years after the Civil Rights movement, black Americans were ...

2024年12月27日 · My “big present” from my wife was a FlashForge Adventurer 5M 3D printer. To get it set up and running, even just to proceed to leveling, I need to create a FlashForge account and then scan the QR code on the display. I’ve been trying for two days to do this, but all I get on my cell phone with the FlashForge Flashmaker app is…nothing. I’ve …

2025年1月3日 · I have a HP printer, error message: The print carriage cannot move. HP website wants the serial number, fair enough.

2024年12月21日 · My impression is the 50 caliber desert eagle and the 44 magnum are the most powerful ammunition available on a handgun. I’ve seen guns that look like stock-less, short barreled AK-47s that fire 7.62x39 ammunition, but I don’t know if I would consider them handguns. Also I don’t know if that ammunition has more energy than a 50 caliber handgun. Is there a definite answer? Looking into it ...

2022年5月2日 · I rarely ever read fiction, but this one caught my eye when I glanced at my local library’s recommendations. , my interested perked up since folks mentioned a shocking ending. I did enjoy it so I was surprised at folks going what? at the ending. I"m also ok with the “non” ending for some of the characters that it was left open-ended. Imagine my …

2024年9月22日 · The day after the debate, Trump and Harris met again at the 9/11 commemoration, and it was reported that he said to her “good job”, apparently meant to congratulate her for her performance at the debate. Moments like that make me think that Trump’s public persona is the ultimate salesman.
