@Devon_Eriksen_@SandyofCthulhu@StephenKing Dashiell Hammet- the WWI vet turned Pinkerton turned novelist- once wrote and published a list of facts of which he believed detective story writers would do well to apprise themselves.
The first item was, iirc, "A gun, to be a revolver, must contain something which revolves."
@stevehalangri@SandyofCthulhu Pretty much anything dealing with space travel in a tv show or movie requires turning off one's brain if one has any knowledge at all.
@SandyofCthulhu@Recursion_Agent Almost every scene with a chess set it's set up with the wrong, i.e. with a black corner to each player's right hand side. You'd think they'd get it right at least half the time but it's wrong well more than half.
@JLevendia This is the first I've heard of the Consulate shooting. (I just looked up a little about it.) But I've intentionally stopped following news, I'm not the freaking government!
