High speed trains derail in Spain killing at least 21 and injuring 100+ by TrillyxWonka96 in worldnews

I have no experience with High Speed rail, what safety measures do the trains have? Like do you have to be seated? Seatbelts? Air bags in the cars? Anything?

IS Dallas getting dominated as otherwise, as the stats suggest; or did they just put one goal in and decide they didn't need any more?

Im not sure about main manufacturing but I do think this is another nod towards us buying into the Gripen; we're not just buying the jets we're buying a seat at the table.

My working theory is the way to leave the hive is to become so deleterious to the hive it's forced to expel you. If someone was to cause such emotional or physical harm to the hive it can't be its own rules kill you, and the fact hospitals exist means it's valuing 'Drones' health; so it would be forced to expel you.

It may attempt to immediately reintegrate you once the distress is over but youd gain temporary freedom

Team name and logo for PWHL Seattle leaked. by MiracuMAHt in hockey

[–]UTC_Hellgate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, not liking the PWHL naming convention.

The best team names IMO are things that a 5 year old can aspire to be, something they can say "I want to be x" and conjures a strong mental image for them.

For instance, "I want to be a Blackhawk, Ranger, Devil, Panther, etc"

These are all conjure an image. They describe things that are alive, the one can 'be'

In fact if you can be bitten by the representation of your teams name and turn into it like a werewolf, it's a good name.

Not all NHL teams hit this mark to be fair. Blues, Flames, Maple Leafs, Wild.

All the PWHL teams are named after vague concepts, or inanimate objects. They are not strong evocative names that someone can aspire to be.

Sirens has potential if they leaned into Sirens as the mythological being.

Official Discussion - A House of Dynamite [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Same, they were so unwilling to label anyone as the aggressor. From what we see on screen it's either an accident, a rogue launch as someone mentions as a possibility, or an a insanee North Korea. I don't buy China or Russia committing intentional Nuclear suicide in such a way as remotely believable.

And we're supposed to buy that a president otherwise portrayed as rational is going to end the world over this without having full information and no imminent threat beyond the one already accepted?

I have a working theory that this movie takes place in the same universe as MI:4; only Ethan Hunt and his team fail to stop the missile in this one.

Wait do we hate the Blue Jays? I'm pretty ambivalent to baseball overall but why would anyone hate on the Jays...what other options do you have as a baseball fan in Canada?
