re the new stargate. they keep saying it's not a reboot, but jeez there were spaceships and everything, they'll have to somehow nullify all that for a new audience

maybe get a team into a far flung gate network, perhaps a precursor with square gates heh, and then they try to get home

turkey illegally took part of cyprus by force in 1974 in violation of international law

it's illegal according to the un, so it doesn't get a solid line, it gets this dotted line.

a reminder:

flu shots lose their effectiveness 6-9 months in, so ideally you want to get one in october/november. (then it takes 2 weeks to build immunity)

even if it misses the main strain you'll have some protection all the way thru flu season.
