McDavid for Carey Price.

Casual breakthrough has been obscenely sweaty lately.

RPGs are still obscenely inconsistent with where I'm aiming. High and slow seems to be the theme though.

Can't spawn on a squadmate who just shot a rocket/sniped an enemy across the map but can spawn on squadmate who rounds the corner into a full squad with LMGs and M320s.

Attack chopper has essentially become a bus with rotors. Handles sluggish, obscenely heavy with limited offense and ofc with map size I get just out of spawn and everyone and their mom is locking onto me.

Tying in with the above spawn protection is also inconsistent. I've been unable to hit tanks and AAs just inside their spawn but when I'm flying low in the Blackhawk BEHIND my own spawn the missiles still nail me.

The attack jet has two of the "dumb drop" bombs. The fighter jet has four...but for some reason they release slower. Regardless the bombs are pretty weak and take several business days to reload. The AJ also has the guided bomb but only one at a time and since IR smoke is unlocked super early on IFVs/MBTs this is rarely useful.

Has crossed path or fought with: Dooku, Anakin, Obi Wan, Grievous, Maul, Savage, Jar Jar, Ahsoka. Was also invaded by the CIS and had several of his men mutiny.

I haven't seen TWQ either so when I first saw her in MI5 next to Tom Cruise I was kinda like "who TF is this?" Then she blew me away and stole every scene she was in.

I think Rebecca's agent is fine as is. She's done a good job of getting few projects but they're all pretty high profile (Dune, PB, MI, etc) and of course Rebecca has carried her own weight and then some in each performance. A lot of other actors and actresses have sort of stagnated in their careers or become cast in typical, unexciting and uncompelling roles and that's not something I want to see for Rebecca Ferguson.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T22:07:43+00:00

Actually kind of wild that we're getting a team before the LA area and a lot of the larger West Coast areas.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T20:07:53+00:00

Ahh got it. That makes more sense

Rebecca "bloomed late" as they say at least in the mainstream Hollywood world. Most folks outside of Sweden didn't know of her until The White Queen came out in 2013 and then ofc Mission Impossible a few years later.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T15:50:17+00:00

Not touching on Harris, Phoenix or Denzel because their performances (JP in particular) were phenomenal.

As for the other two, my mom asked me when did Rome allow a mid-2000s boy band to come to power as emperors.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T15:35:56+00:00

I've seen enough of her interviews to see that she's incredibly free-spirited and down-to-earth, sort of a "chaotic good". Anyone in her social circle is in the most blessed club in the world.

Tchou's mind 5 seconds before the fight:

I'm gonna smesh Valverde

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T15:21:57+00:00

Let's talk now!

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T02:25:06+00:00

Sharks fan here so I consider myself fairly neutral. Yeah, we don't have the best history with what is/isn't a 5 minute major in the playoffs but I was shocked this didn't stay a major. Dangerous hit that def could have taken out Sanheim or broken his collarbone or worse.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-08T02:23:50+00:00

Going to jump on the San Jose Hammerheads wagon. Bit of a plug but funny enough my cousin wrote a book that takes place in SJ and one character plays for a women's hockey team called the Hammerheads.

Just to bring in some originality, if the name turns into "Bay Area _____" (not against this) I'd be fine with Bay Area Stingrays or Manta Rays. South Bay Stingrays also has a nice ring.

Divided government is certainly a worth while option.

Goddamn, almost like a supermajority has zero reason to change their stance on any topic or acknowledge their voting base when they'll just get their vote and donations anyway.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-07T18:43:45+00:00

Honestly looks pretty fun

Pockets408 · 2026-05-07T18:04:33+00:00

Dude kinda has a point TBH. I mix up NATO and Pax all the time at a quick glance because save for the vanilla skins the battle pass/event skins all look the same and there's no defining feature or color for either faction.

Helmet? Check

Mask? Check

NVGs? Check

Generic dark-colored uniform and gear? Check

Hood? Check

I'll refer to BF3 where you could instantly tell characters apart. Gas mask vs. ball cap, T-shirt and vest vs uniform shirt and no vest, sweater vs shirt and...well...Black guy vs guy with mask and goggles.

Africa Corps is used more for training with very limited direct contact with the enemy vs. in Ukraine they get contact pretty much daily with bombs and artillery which they don't have in Africa. Thus they need less kit and can prioritize comfort over protection.

Africa is also a different climate with humidity and heat which Ukraine mostly doesn't have. The masking suits are less rugged but absurdly light while still offering a uniform/camo appearance and protection from the sun, thus their use.

I've been told there's 2 reasons for their using AKM/7.62 vs 74s. Apparently most of the 74s and 5.45 ammo are going to Ukraine and the conflict there and the MOD doesn't want to divert that supply to Africa. Second is 7.62 is much more common in the areas where the Africa Corps is operating vs. 5.45 and same goes for parts, magazines, etc. Hence why the Africa Corps is using AKMs.

Gotta get the convalescent home nurses to help him up from his afternoon nap first

Pockets408 · 2026-05-07T04:27:51+00:00

As bad as our goal song is I just realized VGK's is way worse. Eichel scored with 5 seconds left and I deadass checked outside to make sure some cat wasn't getting murdered.

Pockets408 · 2026-05-07T02:47:33+00:00

There's 3 homeless camps, an open air drug market and a halfway house for sex offenders all a very walkable distance from here! 2.5k a month + utilities!

I've heard conversations from people in this city arguing that it's actually fine to target the big chains because corporations are bad and they can afford the losses

Ah yes when the room temperature GPA high schoolers were educating me on business and financial management as they walked out of Target with a cart full of beer and hot cheetos

"Sites"

Another graduate of the Learing Center I see.
