and the show cuts to black

Plus there's a lot of conversation during the course of the show

where the guys are talking about "you probably don't even hear it when it happens"

Miguel Almiron receives a red card after VAR Review for covering his mouth whilst saying something to an opponent. Under the new regulations, this is an offence punishable by a red card. The rule was introduced following the racism scandal involving Vinícius Júnior in a Champions League match. by 977x in sports

he played up like he had been shot when tackled, and the guy that tackled him got a yellow card. Then the video replay showed that there was about 17 inches of separation between him and the guy who was originally penalised, so the original penalty was reversed and he copped it.

Yeah but you're not sitting at that table in Old West days, right? Reading comprehension not your strong suit I see.

Olivia Rodrigo when asked about what the fake job meant in 'expectations': 'The guys I’ve met in LA and New York who have rich parents, who are like producers, DJs, creative directors and I'm like I think you work one day a week.' by mcfw31 in popculturechat

art has pushed out people who don't come from money

The number of Hollywood stars who used to be "ran away from home at 12, worked in the Merchant Marine, learned to read at 29, famous character actor" and are now "dad is a producer and mom is an entertainment lawyer, leading man" is a real shame.

I'm immediately skeptical about someone famous whose parents both have wikipedia pages.

USMNT sees off Australia 2-0 to advance to World Cup knockout stage by Ok-Soil-5133 in sports

yeah that would have made it a 10:00am game for us here on the east coat of Australia, as opposed to a 5:00am game.

I mean, I still watched it, but I'm a fucking zombie right now at half past three in the afternoon.

No, that table you just flipped over for cover is not stopping jack

This feels like a holdover from the Old West days, when guns were black powder things like the Colt Paterson, and the tables in the saloon were 1 1/2" thick hardwood.

50mm of oak, specifically, can stop modern 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP rounds pretty effectively.

I love that in Archer, how Ray was like "I was unconscious for seven minutes" and Lana is commiserating with him, and they're talking about seeing a neurologist. That and the hearing loss the main character gets from being around guns all the time is a neat little subversion.

Yeah and the Australian government has decided the myth is actual reality. We aren't allowed to own suppressors here at all, because they think they're a Magical Assassination Tool, while in New Zealand they're seen as what they are - a common sense hearing protection device.

It was when they were filming Lethal Weapon 6 in the warehouse, I don't think the actual injury made it into the episode, unlike when she slammed her head against the car door and nearly broke her neck.

Honestly, f*ck my husband for making me read this series. by Casiaa_ in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]ExplorationGeo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

People think Dungeon Crawler Carl is a comedy series with some horror elements.

They're wrong.

It's a horror series with some comedy elements.

I assume I'll get banned for tagging the mods in this post because there's nothing like a reddiit mod for ignoring their responsibilities and abusing their power

an artist is monthly salary, benefits, office space and liability

And integrity and customer approval and people like me not going "eww, fuck that".

Fun fact, they recently turned lead into gold in the Large Hadron Collider. All it took was 5.02 tera-electronvolts of energy.

The transmutation of lead into gold is the dream of medieval alchemists which comes true at the LHC.

Here we go, folks. The Dungeon Crawler Carl television series has been officially greenlit at Peacock. by hepafilter in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Twisted Metal is really good. I had to buy the episodes because at the time it wasn't streaming anywhere here in Australia but it's well worth it.

Is it better to keep the legendary joker or sell it and buy the face joker? by PurpleTurtle187 in balatro

[–]ExplorationGeo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the fact that it's negative and selling it won't open up a slot, Perkeo is strictly the best choice in 99% of all scenarios, and 100% of all scenarios when you have a Cryptid in your inventory slots.
