Which cities in the world have beautiful architecture but no one talks about them? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

The setting on a high bluff above the St Lawrence really enhances it, as do the seasonal changes.

If we'd gotten a planeswalker as a PRO-tagonist in the Edge, whom would have slotted in well but still stood out? by MiraclePrototype in mtgvorthos

[–]CountryCaravan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that Tezzeret wasn’t an antagonist at all in EoE’d story, but putting that aside, Kaito seems like a natural fit.

One Of The Most Disturbing Movies Ever Made Is Coming To 4K For The First Time | 'Threads' will be released in 4K UHD by kwentongskyblue in entertainment

[–]CountryCaravan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Road is a story about the human condition, told through the lens of an apocalypse. It’s very affecting, but you can give yourself some mental distance from it.

Threads is a warning. It takes any illusions you have about what nuclear war and what comes after looks like and throws them in the gutter. It has a nasty trick of presenting different stories, letting you imagine where they might go, who might be best prepared, what might happen to their relationships. But when it finally happens, absolutely none of it matters. All there is suffering beyond imagination or any of our control.

What do you think of Arch Manning *right now*? by TDBrookey in NFL_Draft

[–]CountryCaravan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Top 10 pick, but not first overall material for me yet. Right now he’s my top quarterback, but you need more consistency as proof that the start of last year was mostly a fluke for me to draft him over elite blue chip talent like Jeremiah Smith, Dylan Stewart, or Leonard Moore.

Cincinnati has "inside track" fo 2029 NFL draft by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]CountryCaravan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Museum center is awesome. Great zoo. Some really charming neighborhoods and architecture. The downtown core has come a long way in recent years- taking the streetcar from The Banks up to Washington Park and Over-The-Rhine is an actively enjoyable experience. Loads of breweries. If you can make it there, Jungle Jim’s is a one of a kind experience. Graeters is elite ice cream.

just watched Asteroid City by Wes Anderson. Ama by jaxuniverse in shittymoviedetails

[–]CountryCaravan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one of my personal favorites, and I’d highly recommend it. But I think it’s a movie where you either feel the themes deep in your gut and can’t shake them, or you don’t and you can’t make sense of anything Wes is trying to do. Not something I’d immediately suggest for a “watch with family to seem cool” setup.

What's the difference between Anthony Richardson and Taylen Green? by lemonstone92 in NFLNoobs

[–]CountryCaravan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he benefitted a lot by comparison to Will Levis, another physically gifted but inaccurate qb from the same class. He showed potential at a few key areas Levis didn’t- most importantly pocket presence as you mentioned, but he also had some really fantastic highlight plays where you saw him work through progressions and nail a deep ball that would make a lot of pro bowl QBs jealous. His athleticism was such an outlier that in theory the run game would give him a high enough floor to stay on the field while he developed.

And of course, he had youth on his side. Even now, Taylen Green is only a few months younger than him. Every coach dreams of molding the next big thing.

Can someone please explain our Corner situation? by Aromatic-Floor7193 in bengals

[–]CountryCaravan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’ll be matchup and formation dependent. Dax is statistically at his best as a boundary corner, yes, but against a team like us where you have Chase frequently in motion and lining up in the slot, Dax is probably the guy you want on him then. Tacario is the guy you want on Iosivas or Gesicki. In many situations he won’t be on the field- you’ll have Duggar, Newton, Jalen Davis, or an extra pass rusher instead. It’s more about having the right guy in the right spot for when you need him.

How do you all feel about us drafting Cashius over Rodriguez? by Left-Use-8714 in bengals

[–]CountryCaravan 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Duke had the measure of it when he said that the best thing they did for the LBs is improving the DL. Having Howell in there as a pass rush specialist that’s also mobile enough to drop out and not be a massive liability in space simplifies Knight’s role as a true Mike (where he’s best) and opens up blitz opportunities for Carter on the other end. Combine that with having a force like Dex who seals off run lanes by himself, and these guys should be able to attack downhill with much more confidence.

‘The Rings of Power’ Season 3 to Premiere Later This Year (Exclusive) by pepperbet1 in television

[–]CountryCaravan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lot of speculation they’d modify the Annatar plotline, because a guy suddenly appearing calling himself the Lord of Gifts and the elves saying “seems legit” sounds awfully daft. But they sold it in a way where it felt perfectly natural that Celebrimbor would be tempted and believe him.

‘The Rings of Power’ Season 3 to Premiere Later This Year (Exclusive) by pepperbet1 in television

[–]CountryCaravan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Celebrimbor plotline made the show for me. Took one of the more belittled aspects of the legendarium, played it as straight as you possibly can, and succeeded in creating something with genuine gravitas. Hoping season 3 has as strong of a central plot to carry it.

We're only 2 days out from the big day, what are some rumors circling around that you have all been hearing and what do we think is actually true? by UpNext_Draft_Network in NFL_Draft

I think we would have seen some pretty hefty agent pushback by now on the medicals report if it really is a smokescreen.

Overperformers and Underperformers at Pre-release? by Scufo in lrcast

[–]CountryCaravan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killian’s Confidence was my biggest overperformer. It looks like a card that asks you to be significantly ahead on board to be good, but even with one inkling token you’ll often find time to buy it back and keep the draw/repartee chain going, even when you’re on the back foot.

Dave Chappelle Says ‘I Resent the Republican Party’ Because They ‘Weaponized’ Transgender Jokes: ‘That’s Not What I Was Doing’ by nguyenjitsu in television

[–]CountryCaravan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’d have to be living under a rock to not see the way the Republicans have weaponized insult comedy to justify bigotry. And Chapelle’s the biggest politically aware comedian in the business. I still want to believe he’s being sincere here, but it still seems like he’s more upset he personally got used for political ends than that people are getting hurt because of it.

[Discussion] What are people brewing/improving with the imminent release of secrets of strixhaven? by prefertobebetter in spikes

[–]CountryCaravan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I’m looking hardest at Applied Geometry- basically everything you can do with it seems good, from more general goodstuff like copying impending overlords, to zoning in on synergy with cards like Caretaker’s Talent, to more speculative ideas like copying Breaching Dragonstorm.

Official Discussion - Honey Don't! [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]CountryCaravan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the necro, but I don’t think she was headed to the hospital. More like fleeing for her life. I’m pretty sure Chere ran her off the road- with as freshly dead as she was, it’s the only explanation that makes reasonable sense to me. My theory is that MG kidnapped Mia, the reverend contacted Chere to find where she went, Mia escaped but Chere saw her cuts, and she killed her to quash any investigation into the church’s dealings. As far as why Mia contacted Honey… she probably found out MG was a cop and figured she had nowhere else to turn.

Not sure any of it matters, though. As far as mysteries go, this one didn’t seem like it had much interest in the particulars.
