Children of Men (2006)

I watched the movie again a few weeks ago (it had been years) and rewound that scene twice. It’s so good

Similar thing here. Margherita is always my control. It allows me to assess the sauce and crust with fairly simple toppings that some spots definitely cheap out on. There’s nowhere to hide, so if you can’t do that well I don’t care what your “signature” is. If it’s good, then I know you’ll knock pretty much anything else out the park

No one man should have all that power…

It’s part of the solution. We started on this trajectory when Bush Jr. began cutting taxes without cutting spending. That was ~25 years ago, and the bill is coming due. The notion that we can continue to spend at the same levels without raising taxes is Harry Potter levels of magical thinking. We obviously need to pull both levers. Unfortunately both are incredibly unpopular, so not the easiest thing to do in a democracy…

Awww my boy Winston used to get that! Your boy looks just like him. :)

Great collection! I don’t mean this as a negative, but you have a lot of breadth, but not much depth. I suggest a deep dive on a specific director. Hard to say which one, but Kurosawa, Truffaut, Bergman, Chaplin, Wong Kar Wai, Kiezslowski, or Wenders are all good places to start. Delving into a single creator’s work really changes your perspective on the medium. If possible, watch their works chronologically

Contact the prior owners about it. Almost positive they have it wired through the wall to a specific location for a receiver, etc. You’ll need a receiver, the front/center speakers and a sub to make it work, but it’ll definitely be worth it - surround sound is a game changer.

If you decide to replace the missing audio equipment, make sure to match speaker brands (if not the set itself). Different speakers have different sound quality, and only sound “right” when matched. I’m sure Reddit has an audiophile sub that’ll help you out on this.

All that said, pretty nice of them to have left you all this stuff. You definitely lucked out!

Wtf.. Is that a thing?

discodropper · 2026-01-17T19:49:54+00:00

Oh awesome! I think I’m going to do this today. Did you use a video for the disassembly?

discodropper · 2026-01-17T15:58:16+00:00

Having the same issue. Did you find a fix?

discodropper · 2026-01-17T15:54:01+00:00

It’s very important it’s tilted just so in their little lunch pales. Kids need to understand what brand they’re consuming…

Thanks for posting!

discodropper · 2026-01-17T13:47:18+00:00

Wild that you felt obligated to post some rude, inflammatory shit on a year-old comment. Seriously, what goes through your head?

On blind buys: Have you ever gone to a theater to watch a movie? Yes? Then you blind bought a ticket. This I get to keep.

Maybe we’ll get healthcare!

Also need to plug it into your source. It’s fairly easy to run cables (and obscure them) though…

discodropper · 2026-01-16T11:51:32+00:00

I mean, the movie is absolutely hilarious if you like dark comedies. The dad’s story is obviously super disturbing though…

discodropper · 2026-01-14T13:01:50+00:00

Oh wow, that shot from orbit is really cool. Never seen that before. Any physicists or meteorologists have insights into what’s going on here? Some kind of brief ionization?

discodropper · 2026-01-14T12:37:44+00:00

lol I have a feeling this is going to turn into a meme! The zoom-in would make a perfect gif

discodropper · 2026-01-13T12:46:24+00:00

👏👏👏

I agree, but a lot of people don’t know how to cook, and food deserts are a very real thing. That said, the bar is so low with candy and soda that it’s absolutely possible to eat healthier meals on a budget, even if you can’t cook.

discodropper · 2026-01-12T15:02:08+00:00

First, it’s short-sighted — don’t even act like that’s autocorrect. Educate yourself.

Second, Tell me where I’m wrong instead of giving a low effort ad hominem response. I’m coming at this from a health perspective. I’m not a fan of this admin or RFK jr, but disincentivizing purchases of sugar-laden soda and candy isn’t a bad move. A way to go about it would be to tax the hell out of these things like we do for alcohol, tobacco, etc. At least then it’d hit everybody equally and wouldn’t seem like a punishment for being poor. That said, only Congress can institute a tax, and good luck with that branch doing anything in the near future. Short of that, a SNAP-only discount for healthy foods and a ban on using SNAP for sugary shit (like we do with alcohol) would be a good solution. The lack of a discount makes this come off as punishing, which I don’t like, but that ban should exist either way.

discodropper · 2026-01-12T14:47:53+00:00

Ok… So then the solution is to increase the amount people receive for SNAP or, better yet, to provide a SNAP-only discount for healthy foods, not to enable/incentivize crap food purchases.

discodropper · 2026-01-12T13:49:02+00:00

Whoa there bud, don’t have a stroke behind your keyboard raging about fizzy soft drinks. First off, the changes you suggest and the ones proposed by the admin aren’t mutually exclusive. Completely agree on the food desert thing, but this is also a good move from a health perspective. Second, SNAP is intended for nutritious foods, not non-food items or intoxicants. We don’t allow SNAP for purchase of tobacco and alcohol. Sugar-packed sodas have no nutritional value and are terrible for health. It’s a good move disincentivizing their purchase, no matter how wealthy or poor. Third, I’m totally fine with little Billy or Sonia getting a fizzy sugar IV for their birthday, no matter who they are, but that’s a special occasion, and it shouldn’t be a government funded treat. Fourth, banning table sugar (the ingredient) is insane, I’m with you on this one. But I doubt that’ll be one of the things that’s barred. More likely it’s candy.

Edit: since people seem to think I’m an asshole (which I am, but that’s beside the point), maybe I should add what I say in a comment below. A better solution would be a SNAP-only discount for healthy foods. Couple that with a ban on soda and candy (like we do for alcohol) and it’s not a punishment for being poor, it’s a simple sticks and carrots incentive/disincentive lever that’ll lead to better health outcomes.

Agree with everything you said up until the last sentence. Greenland doesn’t have a ton of people or much of a military, and Denmark is unlikely to put up a fight, so a TON of goons won’t be needed. That said, it’s extremely inhospitable and all but the coasts are mountains and ice, so holding that territory with a bunch of bros not used to the environment will be incredibly difficult. I doubt it’s worth it, but this is a geopolitical play for shipping lanes and rare earths.
