German conspiracy wackos and American ones have a lot in common.

During COVID their bullshit ven diagram was a flat circle.

That’s better but not that by much. A few years ago Germany raided some very rich and very well-armed wackos who wanted to bring back the Kaiserreich.

“Very good” is an understatement for The Bear.

And recent seasons just keep stacking up the talent.

Post-WWII put propaganda/advertising to the next level. Social media turned that to 11.

Or my colleagues trying to fill every possible slot in my daily schedule.

Sadly the lines don’t disappear when filled :-(.

Same. The most recent time I bought a plastic bottle was on a recent holiday for a week-long car trip away from home in a country where tap water was not drinkable. I was happy to see they had big 10-liter bottles in the shop so I could refill my reusable water bottle during the whole trip.

I was hoping for a Director’s Cut where it would make sense. Nope.

Old trailers were either enigmatic and gave you the vibe of the movie or would just show you “hey, here’s all what this movie is about” and go over each major plot point.

The twist is Shyamalan making a good movie again!

I’ve stopped watching them altogether. I want to be surprised by the production design of the movie, the plot, the key moments marketing loves to spoil and so on.

I will read up on what people comment on the trailer but that’s it. It’s so much better to jump in fresh

Hunt for Red October. The book is great and for it’s time had done amazing insight into modern naval warfare but the movie irons out a bunch of this which are a bit lame.

The Akula that kills itself with its own torpedo simply blows up because it abused its engine and another sunk when the titular sub rams into it.

The titular sub is later returned to the USSR.

The movie changes those and a few other things for a more exciting and satisfying outcome.

Heinlein not PKD.

How ironic for RAR to become the standard for piracy back in the day.

Frank Hebert was an actual ecological consultant on top of being a writer. But yes, the scale of such a project is closer to sci-fi.

Cool, probably very dependent on the airline. I’ve never had one of those.

And it’s all fun and games until you bring out that 737 Max card …

That was super cool for me as a flight sim enthoustic kid.

They will occasionally let a kid visit the cockpit while boarding if they show interest and the crew is extra nice

Those chairs are pricey but damn if they aren’t high quality and comfortable.

I was so happy to have a nice home office setup for COVID lockdown and generally for gaming.

When Mando deviated too much from the space spaghetti Western, quality really went down the drain.

I loved Andor’s WW2 spy thriller take on Star Wars. More serious, adult and no space wizards.

Yeah, in some countries, land is at a premium. No way would it be wasted on just solar panels. Rooftop installations make the most sense.

They are even testing putting them afloat on dam reservoirs.

I love to watch expensive garbage burn.

Watching Twitter burn to the ground along with Musk’s reputation is highly entertainment.
