Do you think Solo: A Star Wars Story will make $170 million when it opens Memorial Day weekend?

My personal picks for streaming are as follows:
On Netflix Anon is available on Friday May 4th – It's a futuristic thriller about a wanted murderer who uses the permanent deletion of digital data to evade police capture.

It's also a great time to catch up on Bill Nye Saves The World, as Season 3 hits the service May 11th

In Whiskey news:
Rock legend and icon Bob Dylan will launch his own series of three whiskeys. The band news? It's being done through Angel's Envy, the most boring whiskey we have ever reviewed on this show. Will Mr Dylan's whiskey be as bland and uneventful? Should he have stuck with his original brand name of "Bootleg whiskey" instead of his new name "Heaven’s Door Spirits?" Time will tell if the straight rye, straight bourbon, or the “double-barreled” whiskey will be as tasty as his music has.

CNN reports that Drinkers have more bad mouth bacteria. As with all studies, unless there are follow up studies that support the study, it is just a hypotheses. There must be a general consensus before a hypothesis has any weight to it. I could not find any information about a general consensus amongst researchers.
