Here's hoping. Not that I'm going to subscribe to Paramount to see it, but hopefully somewhere else in a few years...

At least the lead is a good actor, hell on wheels was great. If they start crying in the first episode I'm probably out though.

My take on the first episode is that it wasn't amazing, but it also wasn't Picard either, lol. But there was some "injustices in the world" thrown in @purr1n .

I beat cancer and I'm going to get mad if anyone finds a cure

So they shouldn’t because it will hurt people’s feelings?

Grateful that my education allows me to do what I love to do. At the same time, if it wasn't for the PSLF program, I'd be screwed.

Those speakers are cool too, is there a build log brewing for those as well?

Too much torture for me to take. Can't stand Cruise either in movies or personally.

LMAO! Yeah, I noticed that. Rock didn't just tell a joke his wife felt publicly humiliated by. He participated in it. If we saw the moment he looked over to her I think we would have seen a look of betrayal from her, and his face redden. His reaction feels like an over compensation for his own blunder.

What a bunch of weirdos. Bang my wife but don't talk about her lack of hair. Isn't GI Jane also when Demi started banging younger guys on Bruce Willis watch as well haha

Not just weird, contradictory. Don't you have to have some measure of honor before it can be protected? Is not Hollywood all about leaving behind Neanderthal concepts such as honor? You have to give credit to Mr Smith for at least realizing they're supposed to be something there worth protecting...

"War is at best barbarism." WT Sherman

Certainly puts my first world problems into perspective. Can't imagine what I would do in their situation. Happy I don't have to.

Genghis Khan according to the legends/stories was one of the worst opponents ever regarding psychological warfare. In his age it was life or die, no nuance just choose one. Well every human has that "switch" in his/her psyche. War is one of the worst things humans can do.

I'm about 85 hours in. Just want to keep playing.

It was going great till I lost 35000 runes slipping off the edge of a cliff...

Couldn't handle the PC version. I got a refund within 30 minutes of play.

Can't say I know the difference, but I guess I follow the Japanese ways of the chopsticks.

Anyway, anything is better than having them sticking them in the nostrils.

Chopsticks sticking straight up from a bowl is disturbing to East Asians - incense used in funerals, etc. Even if one doesn't know the exact reasons why, it feels odd, as if something is off with the Force, upon seeing it.

Thank you! Will remember and ensure that I never do that.

Amazing what one can learn at 4.30am just before bed! :)

Yeah, i thought cheap gas was a constitutional right despite it being traded on a global market?

People were probably planning to storm but couldn't afford gas to get there.

They drive BMWs, Porsches, Range Rovers, and Ford Raptors in obnoxious ways instead of pickup trucks in safe ways. Realistically, people don't get mad here because of complacency induced by one party rule and distraction from stress of overall cost of living.

Be cool to get tech details, like what was different and the challenges from AKM to ESS, why Fulla first, and what limitations and challenges. Maybe even deeper stuff like digital filter and board layouts if it isn't IP stuff

@Merrick

Me, me, me!

So basically your saying he thought the west had won - that it's "values" were inevitable, that "rights" and other idealisms trump everything else. When you live next to a bear, living/acting like the lion has already laid down with the lamb is, well its not reality....excuse me as I mix metaphors ;)

Well, it's turning out that the Ukrainians are not so quite like the lamb Putin thought they were!

Hey, I'll take it over the alternative: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3IMTJjzfo

Wait Mani "2" ? Is this a new and improved Mani. Ashamed to say I haven't hooked up my TT since I moved. This may change things. Hah just went and looked and saw JS's post as well. 2-4 weeks :(

One newspaper reports that the moment the kid got off the ice, the coach Eteri Tutberidze started yelling at her: “Why did you let it go? Explain to me, why. Why did you stop fighting? You let it go after that axel. Why?” This meets the dictionary definition of psychotic.

Freaking child abuse, man. I feel so sad for that kid.

I quit coaching because of the constant berating of kids by other coaches and worse; parents. Broke my heart and wasn't worth it.

This deserves a thread of its down. I will start a thread and post after each episode.

Seems like a really bad, transparent attempt to sell toys to pre-pubescents.

Also a really bad, transparent attempt to get you to not cancel your Disney+ subscription in between the release of things you actually want to watch.

The only good episodes were the left over mando episodes they included.

I honestly think they greenlit the show because they know Boba Fett is popular and the creators had no desire to actually tell this story.

Like throwing tea kettles and scrubbing the ice with a broom? lol

A couple of cycles ago the IOC almost dropped wrestling. I heard there is an event in this winter Olympics called "big air", which sums it all up in so many ways. I don't even like the athletes that much as they play the political/media/image/$money$ game to the same degree as all the others.

I'm not at all a sports person, but the winter-olympic photographs I see are amazing. Within past couple of days I have learnt of the existence of instruments of torture called skeleton and louge (?). I'm trying to pluck up the courage to watch some video!

Bingo.

I think ship builders and marine architects, etc, are super-skilled, highly professional people. This company is used to building big, expensive, boats. Maybe it's odd that this wasn't sorted out from the start. Overlooked? I'd suspect that they have a department that sorts this stuff out.

And Netherlands... sometime back in history, Britannia might have rules the waves, but now surely it's Netherlands. Those people live water, canals, ports, ships. Would think this vessel would be a thing of national pride.

Rogan has definitely amplified way sketchy guests since before COVID was a thing - case in point: Alex Jones has been a recurring guest.

OK...

Fuck censorship. fine.
Let those who want to talk dangerous crap talk dangerous crap. fine
(Yes, making a big noise only promotes it)

BUT...

If an organisation pays vast amounts of money to a dangerous crap spreader, isn't that something to stand against?

(...General principles. I haven't seen Joe Rogan)

the Doctors Rogan interviews sometimes makes a innaccurate statement. Big whoopdie doo. This whole thing is not because " Joe spread disinformation". After seeing the McCullough and Malone interview, its quite evident the establishment is worried about all the true information being shared in those interviews that isnt being told in the MSM. This is why the media is trying to demolish Rogan credibility.
