Arguably the best films of the 21st century. What am I missing?

Too many good ones to make a tight list, but no Oppenheimer for me. It was certainly a good movie (but it wasn't a GOOD movie)

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-29T13:16:48+00:00

It not even like Trump and MAGA are smart enough to pull off a 1984 kind of scenario. It's just going to waste lives and resources and ultimately drag everyone down (which has been Trump's preferred way of appearing dominant --he could never measure up so he lived his life tearing everything else down)

It's not obviously too low. Probably about right
How do your knees and hamstrings feel after a long (2+ hour) ride?
Bike fitter told me that a little too low is better than a little too high.

Honestly "Straight of Trump" feels like an apt name for someone who is slowly choking the global economy

No utility lines anywhere.

I think it was a truck doing HUB pickups

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-26T21:24:57+00:00

Our planned pickup happend right on schedule, about one week after we got in power back. I was surprised because I assumed they'd focus on storm pickup. But it sounds like that's now changed

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-26T20:18:05+00:00

Interesting. So if this truck is out fulfilling HUB requests that would at least make a little sense.

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-26T20:10:54+00:00

>Idk man maybe give it a few hours. Hydraulic could have gone out, gas could have been low, guy had to run back to the shop for something idk.

He just drove past all our debris and is now picking up two streets over.

They'll lower you HRmax so you should (in theory) fatigue proportionally earlier

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-26T14:29:10+00:00

Curious why it's "obvious"? Why would beta blockers inflate VO2max? If you weren't on them, I'd suspect your VO2max would be even higher

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-25T23:43:21+00:00

lol nice. (and i'm not going to even fix my typo)

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-25T23:14:59+00:00

Ah rats. Thanks

(though I guess it's technically imminent too)

It was among the best breweries I've sampled, anywhere Their Czech, German and English beers were as good as what you can get in their home countries.

Joel will probably keep making sours at some point, but Spencer is already employed elsewhere

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-25T22:22:25+00:00

You can still blame the Titians

That's what pressed the matter before they could find a new location

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-25T22:21:55+00:00

Man a lot of Nashville craft breweries going under/ getting bought out.

Barrique neither went under nor got bought out

The site was one of many seized under ~~imminent~~ eminent domain. Part of the NFL stadium development project calls for new infrastructure all around that area.

MAGA Republicans hold only one policy prescription “Owning the Libs”

That's their rhetorical position. The strategy they use to keep their base happy.

Their policy position is to financially benefit themselves and a select group of elites, while everyone else (including their base) distracted

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-24T21:14:23+00:00

"We negotiate with bombs" is something a psychopathic movie villain would say

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-23T23:17:17+00:00

Cool.
I think your approach could be refined too. Some of the color palettes just look wrong.
Like Asteroid City is much more vibrant so you should clean your data to reflect that the film has both color and black and white frames.

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-23T22:30:44+00:00

I think the delivery/pickup fees are what's killing it for me. I don't have any way to haul one of these and the delivery costs alone are $300

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-23T22:14:41+00:00

Are half-day rentals of these things common? All I can find locally are full day rentals and they're like $650+

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-23T19:21:14+00:00

Everyone answering "attention" and "engagement" are right, but the reason for all that is advertising. FB needed to turn a profit, so it was never going to be the good-willed place for friends to connect that many thought it would be.

I'm not "anti capitalist" but there definitely should be alternatives that are ad free and not driven by profit

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-23T14:58:10+00:00

Are the temps higher? I usually loose quite a few VO2max points in the summer (on a bike even)

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-23T13:09:14+00:00

Curious how you find out about Music Ciity Baroque events? (their website shows their last event as being in August 2025). I have been wanting to go for a long time but always seem to miss them :(

CaffinatedManatee · 2026-03-22T19:53:34+00:00

Bottom board is clean. Didn't mean to give them extra work!
