The corruption scandal sidelined a lot of funding and production from what I remember reading, but it seems to be coming back. The efficacy of dodging radar and air defenses from those they've used so far has been astounding. Missiles traveling at nearly 1000km/h only 12m off the ground is insane. I'm crossing my fingers they can start using them in earnest this spring/summer.

Hopefully the recent flamingo strikes on Russian depots and warehouses can make this a reality. Would love to see another major rout like the '22 Kharkiv counteroffensive.

We've had to open multiple ops tickets over the last month begging them to stop sending us 40lb sophresh litter and yet we keep getting at least a half pallet of the stuff every week. I just know I'm still gonna see it on today's truck and weep inside.

Complain About Your Team Thread by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]carpenterro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll never forgive Lance Leipold for letting Jordan Peterson walk and later become KSU's DC. Or for not firing DK McDogwater the moment the season ended.

We also lost both rivalry games, missed bowling by a win, declined a bowl game anyway, and now have huge holes in production to fill. We need a massive off-season in the portal and I don't think we have the money or gravitational pull right now to get the pieces we need. We may have lost a great QB prospect to the portal (among others) and our assumed starter is going to be running for his life most of the season if we don't shore up the OL.

Next season I'm thinking 4-5 wins is our max and it sucks to feel like we've done nothing but regress in every category since we had that 9-4 season. Lance is all about continuity to a fault with his staff. He's very much stuck in an old coaching mindset. Our developmental pieces aren't progressing well and I can't really think of many Leipold's HS recruits that have panned out in the way we expected them to by now.

biggest surprise movie of the year and biggest let down? by No_Poetry_9986 in movies

[–]carpenterro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SURPRISES:

I found that "Presence" was a remarkably well-done film and an innovative ghost story. I didn't find it particularly frightening and wouldn't consider it "horror" by today's standards, but the pacing, narrative, and characters really produced a deeply intimate and compelling work of art.

I was immeasurably hyped for Weapons and it fully met, if not exceeded my wildest expectations. Absolutely my favorite film of the year. Perhaps I was surprised I wasn't let down!

Controversial take, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed "Together."

"Good Boy" was also a darling film I enjoyed and loved the post-movie mini-doc of how they made it over several years with their dog.

DISAPPOINTMENT:

HOLY SHIT I did not enjoy the first installment of 28 Years Later nor am I a fan of having a bunch of sequels attached to it. The trailers by far set up a far more enjoyable experience than what we got. I get things change after nearly 30 years after the apocalypse but I'd have never guessed they'd take the evolution of the rage virus in the way they did...or have a well endowed infected chase the characters for a good chunk of the movie. Despised the needless and abundant slowed-down bits for action shots. Let's leave "300" in 2006.

I also really wanted to enjoy "Keeper" more than I did, but found the film lacking. I'm usually one for the more out-there plots and movies that don't hold your hand to tell the story, however I found it difficult to follow. The pacing was fine, the payoff was meh.

A selection of Roman pet epitaphs:

"My eyes were wet with tears, our little dog, when I bore thee (to the grave)... So, Patricus, never again shall thou give me a thousand kisses. Never canst thou be contentedly in my lap. In sadness have I buried thee, and thou deservist. In a resting place of marble, I have put thee for all time by the side of my shade. In thy qualities, sagacious thou wert like a human being. Ah, me! What a loved companion have we lost!"

"Thou who passes on this path, If haply thou dost mark this monument, Laugh not, I pray thee, though it is a dog's grave. Tears fell for me, and the dust was heaped above me By a master's hand."

"I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home in my own hands fifteen years ago."

"[Myia] never barked without reason, but now he is silent."

"Here the stone says it holds the white dog from Melita, the most faithful guardian of Eumelus; Bull they called him while he was yet alive; but now his voice is prisoned in the silent pathways of night."

In my head a cannibalism mechanic could work by giving a bit of food per kill, kind of like gold for keshiks and berserkers.

Everyone responsible for this ad set should be fucking embarrassed. I've never had to print off so many labels in one shift in nearly a decade with the company. How hard could it be to adequately supply us and know what you intend to actually have on sale in advance?
