That's one thing India can't provide us, Bollywood isn't allowed to use crass sexualization or show a lot of skin. Why does Bollywood have a musical dance number every other scene? Because if they're dancing, they're allowed to lift their dress up to 17mm above the ankle! If they're not singing and dancing, no side-ankle for you!
Same reason China can't do it.
We're going to need H1-Bs from Poland and Bulgaria. All you have to do to convert popular Polish or Bulgarian scripts for the US market is indicate that the actors should put on some underwear or swimwear.
The UK formula works pretty well; even if you paid the actors millions of pounds, they're only allowed 20 pence per day for production expenses. If it wasn't in the prop room when you wrote the script, you're going to be at work all weekend with the cardboard and crayons.
They end up having no choice but to provide content within the words spoken and physical actions of the actors.
If it is a really popular show like Mr Bean with only 1 regular actor, then they afford to film 5 minutes of each episode outdoors.
Hah. You think they will be replaced with people who can actually write?
I don't, but I do think they will be replaced by corporate middlemen (corporations can't join unions) and the credit will go to the writers brand instead of to the writer, and since the writers all suck pretty bad none of them will be able to make any demands. And these companies (that are the new writers) will hire the humans as contractors under NDA, and they not only won't be able to strike, they won't even be allowed to complain in public.
If we're lucky, a minority of writers will create a new guild or union that only lets in good writers, and they'll create a premium collective brand but still give writing credit to individual writers. Those shows will only be on premium delivery channels.
The most exiting thing in anime this year might be a new season of Food Wars! Runner up is the new season of "Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" (Danmachi) which is airing now.
I Love Lucy was 1950s. You can tell because domestic violence was still "in." It was cut in 1957.
Then Leave It To Beaver went from `57-63, a wholesome interstitial period before the sexual revolution. Domestic violence was still popular, but there was at least enough shame to keep it out of television.
Eventually there was Star Trek, which was the 1960s in full miniskirted glory.
Talking to people. Sex. Building models. Organizing one's rock/stamp/severedhead collections. Writing code. Playing with the cat/dog/cockatrice. Martial arts. Photography. Reading. Taking courses. Exercising. Working out a sane budget. Listening to music. Playing music. Sewing. Legos. Fooling with hardware. Home improvements. Giving the domicile a good once-over at the ultra-picky level, just for the fun of it. Putting the yard in tip-top order. Walking the canine or the cat. Visiting Rome, Paris or Venice (while pretending to be Canadian, of course.)
I can verify that in the 1980s it was still considered acceptable to let children run around unsupervised away from home using the "be home before dark" system. And if somebody wondered if it was OK or not, they would ask, "Does the child have experience navigating city streets on their own?" If you could read street signs and knew the general layout of the city, it was considered OK.
Late-night talk shows and soap operas are to entertainment writers what delis are to hungry New Yorkers -- a daily frenzy of high-volume production. If the sandwich makers don't show up, everybody gets hungry quickly.
The difference of course; if they serve pictures of sandwiches instead of real sandwiches, everybody still has the same caloric needs.
If they serve pictures of mindless entertainment instead of real mindless entertainment, everybody was still mindlessly entertained.
So while my first thought when you said "go outside" was, "*groan* oh no, the parks will get crowded," then I realized, "no, they won't."
Traditional nutrition advice does not limit fruit or fruit juice consumption.
It does limit total calories.
If you were capable of applying logic, you'd understand that I already said I was referring to traditional mainstream dietary advice, which has not changed on any of those points.
If you look at traditional advice, sweets (including sugar water) are recommended to be very limited. Less than a serving in some cases, or "0-2" in other cases. Whereas fruit juice can represent all your fruit servings. If you're also eating the recommended number of vegetable, grain, and meat/protein servings, you can eat all the rest of the recommended calories as fruit and that is totally OK by these recommendations. Whereas, with soda or candy it is telling you to limit consumption, and it doesn't count toward fruits or vegetables.
No, I'm not the one who swallowed propaganda. Yes, I can operate using multiple constraints on the same data set in the same series of evaluations. No, you were not able to do so. Sad, really.
BTW, your original theory that drinking fruit juice and drinking corn syrup have the same effect on insulin levels is funny. You should look that one up, because you might find that others have had that idea before and some of them did studies to check. There are a wide variety of long-chain carbs in most fruit juices, and they affect digestion of the rest. It is not all the same, different chemicals are different. Fruit and fruit juice contain vastly more compounds than we've even isolated, much less established the affects of on digestion. What is known is that: whole fruit and fruit juice have the same affects on the body as each other, and that processed sugars (even when removed from fruit) are much more harmful. Clearly the presence of undetermined water-soluble nutrients in the fruit aids in healthy digestion.
It reminds me of 1997. There was one guy at work that didn't know how to use a computer, but he kept repeating things he "learned" online from conspiracy websites. It took awhile to figure out what was really going on; at first we thought he was trolling us. (we used the word prank back then)
Eventually we figured it out; he had WebTV. He did not have the wireless keyboard that cost an extra $50. He just had the WebTV remote. So a URL with 32 characters would require something like 300 button presses. Mostly he just surfed Geocities from the links on the Home Page, and he could follow from one conspiracy site to the next with the "link exchange" widgets that were popular back then.
When I was a kid I also had to cross a hill. Uphill both ways, and walking downhill right after doesn't actually make the uphill part any easier. Luckily I only had to walk 1 mile.
Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote their first BASIC for the Altair and forgot the bootloader, so Paul wrote it on the airplane using just a tape punch. (the code was delivered on punched tape)
So you're at least down the street from something related by blood to a true factoid.
Yes, I really am so dumb that I was able to understand that fruit juice is not the same as water with corn syrup added.
You swallowed some propaganda, and now you go around questioning of the intelligence of anybody with more or better information than you.
If you think about, (yes, yes, I understand, you won't) that attitude leaves you unable to ever correct false ideas you hold, because anybody with more knowledge is just an idiot to you.
For your next trick, you'll start blathering about Chemistry, even though chemists already know that fruit juice is different than corn syrup. You won't be able to comprehend that, because you don't understand that the listing of sugars on the label doesn't actually list all the different forms in the plant; the list is just a proxy. Furthermore, you'll fail to understand that it is known to medical nutritionists that fruit juice creates a different set of affects in the body when consumed as pure juice than it does when the same amount of processed fructose is eaten. The processed fructose is one of the worst forms of sugar to eat, it has considerably worse healthy effects than processed sucrose, and yet when eaten as fruit or fruit juice it is not associated with the same bodily responses. Why? That is still not settled. What is known for sure right now is that fruit juice is not corn syrup water, in chemistry or in bodily response.
Your attitude, sarcastic or not, is a good example of why factual observations are of low utility in dealing with these issues. All you do is make the conversation worse for everybody, and make solutions more difficult. That's true regardless of what policies or solutions you support!
RIght, unsigned char is not good enough for banking. The data type for age is probably PIC 9(3) and the limitation is based on data validation code, not data type limitations.

That would be easier if they were given proper blame in the credits.
Right now they're treated differently than other writers, but still treated like normal humans.
Hah. You think they will be replaced with people who can actually write?
I don't, but I do think they will be replaced by corporate middlemen (corporations can't join unions) and the credit will go to the writers brand instead of to the writer, and since the writers all suck pretty bad none of them will be able to make any demands.

I just hope he doesn't rage-quit before the mid-terms, this Congress is scary! They would get way too much done without him.
Most TVs let you edit the channel selection. Most people have access to at least 3 channels of broadcast PBS these days!
It isn't that hard, it should take less than a minute.
Wait until they find out that the same show on Netflix has the same writers and the same strike as it does on cable!
There are huge advantages to not watching TV, but most of them require also not watching TV.
If they're only trimming the advertising, they're at least slightly reducing the garbage inputs.
No, no, TMZ is "Writer Strike According to TV Actors."
This is the "Writer Strike According to No-TV-Guy."
To Love-Ru has an OVA coming out.

Good news, there is still PBS.
I was hoping for a tsundere but all I got was this yandere.
Okay.. you're an outlier; ... you're making it far worse than it actually is.
You're right. He's a complete sourpuss. Hollywood has at least 20 different scripts, if you can comprehend the depth of their subtlety.
I can verify that in the 1980s it was still considered acceptable to let children run around unsupervised away from home using the "be home before dark" system.

Basics are only basic if you understand them.

uphill... both ways!!!
When I was a kid I also had to cross a hill. Uphill both ways, and walking downhill right after doesn't actually make the uphill part any easier. Luckily I only had to walk 1 mile.
Early computers had a switchboard instead of a keyboard, and the mice had to compete with the rats for nesting space.
