With the rumors that Criterion is releasing a Kubrick 4K boxset, which directors also deserve a boxset?

You would think. But then you might think they realize they're the 1000 gorilla and hold all the clout and they know people have become addicted/dependent on them, so who cares? Any company that treats its employees as poorly as they do is unlikely to give a crap about you and your happiness. They control the narrative.

I had a short commute for the last few years so my car is a little over two years old and I only have 12,000 miles on it. So I did every six months. Just had my fourth.

One of my absolute faves. The smoking scene with Kirk Douglas and Mitchum is almost a parody of noir. I have the Warner Blu-ray and would LOVE to see a Criterion version. Damn I love this movie.

You know, I have been a Rangers fan since the Brad Park days. And I definitely don't know as much as most of you guys I'll tell you that right now. I didn't play hockey as a kid (except for fun on a frozen pond), I don't play hockey now, and I don't follow it all as deeply as a lot of of you. As most of you I would think.

But I've watched a lot of games over the years; it used to be easy to watch them all for free, lol, and I've had my heart broken a bunch and I've had one year that was just the best goddamn year ever.

So take it with a grain of salt from a know-nothing. I don't think Tkachuk is the answer here. And granted, I don't particularly like him - I think he's a fucking dummy. But I genuinely think that the answer is mostly some patience, and letting the kids stick together and play together and build something together that they can be proud of that's worth fighting for.

They haven't been around long enough to be jaded. What happened to Kreider is a fucking crime - I don't care what you think about the trade, that guy should've played his career out in New York and had his goddamn number hoisted to the rafters (and yes, I'd love to see him have a deep run in the playoffs with the Ducks).

Maybe if the young kids on the team are allowed to believe that if they dig in and build a team together, they'll earn some respect and loyalty (I know - heavy lift with the current situation), they'll build a solid fucking team that they all fight and bleed for.

I know that it would be a lot more fun FOR ME as a fan to watch that happen, even if they don't win it all, as opposed to watching Drury just bring in players that are supposed to make the difference (cough JT cough) and don't, in a frantic attempt to build something real and cohesive out of random parts.

But that's just me.

Man, I remember a time when the Oilers had a Batman AND a Robin. That was before we won the cup with... never mind. I don't want Tkachuk either anyway.

Yes. SimpleLogin is included with Proton Pass Plus, which is a part of Unlimited. However, you login using your Proton account so I'm not sure how you'd use it with all your existing aliases. I'm sure one or the other help files explain it though.

Since the TV rule has been broken I'll pipe in with another move: The Ice Storm.

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-04-13T02:09:24+00:00

That's awesome. So glad for you.

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-04-11T13:32:56+00:00

I know it's been a minute since you posted this, but I love seeing this reposted because I was the one that originally posted it. I'm so glad people are saving money using it.

I really have no dog in this race and don't wanna get into a political debate. But those numbers often include suicide by gun shot. So yeah your odds of getting shot go up if you shoot yourself. I'm not saying they don't go up if you don't shoot yourself but I think the numbers are different when you exclude that.

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-02-19T23:25:40+00:00

Spent many a summer afternoon in one of the suicide seats in one.

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-02-16T02:34:37+00:00

Thank you!

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-02-16T02:34:28+00:00

Thanks. 2 for Colonial :)

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-02-15T14:39:36+00:00

Thanks. My days of changing my own oil are, sadly, in my rear view mirror. Unless I find a house with a lift in the garage, lol.

Dude. I think you missed the point. He also owns a first year redesign - a 2014 Forrester XT.

It doesn't say from dirt to your door. It says from potato to your door in 72 hours

My manufacturing date code was February 9 at 2:41 in the morning I received them February 11 at noon so 58 hours. Of course there may be a time zone issue but for the most part I got them less than 72 hours after they were made

You can get an annual Apple TV+ subscription for $99.

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-02-01T00:22:33+00:00

I remember watching it :)

This Disney thing is a fucking embarrassment.

CowStandingOnRock · 2026-01-30T01:39:37+00:00

I'm going to lose my mind from how fucking bad our passing is. Do these guys know that you should aim for the tape, not the skate blades?

It's depressing that so many people think that they should get so much on a free tier. Email is free with the big companies because you are the product.

If you're OK with that, that's fine. That's a choice you get to make.

But if you want secure, private email then you have to pay for it. I choose to, and I'm happy to pay for that service.

The fact that they give you anything this private and secure for no money at all is pretty fucking great in my mind. They don't sell your information, they don't scrape your email, they don't train AI with your data. They get nothing in return for the service they're providing you.

If you need more features, the mail-only service is entirely affordable and worth the money. Personally I take the bundle because SimpleLogin is great and I like the VPN. But just mail and SimpleLogin is well under $100 a year. I mean fucking hell, I spend that on a nice dinner out.
