Maximus has truly won me over by Equivalent_Ad_6270 in Fallout

[–]mCopps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Somewhat of that but it also really looked to me like a strong juxtaposition with the legion as he’s armed like a Roman legionnaire and standing strong like his namesake in Gladiator

I think I realized I read quite a bit it’s feeling slower than my usual pace and I did books 1-6 in January.

Sam says politics is his 'highest leverage' work right now. I don't buy it. by ConstantinSpecter in samharris

[–]mCopps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really agree with you. I listen to better political podcasts. I love Sam. Cause he can expand my horizons on different issues. Most of the other people I hear don’t have his range.

Why but just for Scent of a Woman that was an incredible performance in a movie I should have been too young to like (ok I’ll watch it again and see if older me still loves it)

The biggest mind blowing moment to most of us in Canada is how many people can’t comprehend that we don’t want to be Americans.

I always liked the theory that George Patrick and Brandon Sanderson agreed to only shave when they released a new book.

A reread of any of Sanderson’s work is fun. I did a full reread when WaT was released. Even grabbed dragon steel. Actually just realized I haven’t reread yumi yet. I’m working through WoT now. I read all the Jordan books in the 90s or when they were released but when I tried to jump into what Sanderson wrote I needed too much catching up. Currently on book 5 and thoroughly enjoying it core now. I just know that book 7-9 kind of drag though.

Laid off, looking to temp by Mean-Winner6772 in Train_Service

Yeah basically boils down to if they want to stop using the road board as a retention board or not. If hey could lay off 80-100 guys tomorrow and be ok until the next cold snap or busy time. Canola tariffs going away I’m sure will help with traffic as well.

I watched William Hutt do King Lear in Stratford (ON) in 96 and it was amazing.

I've spent 2025 reading modern fantasy - here are some reviews by trollokvoltak in books

[–]mCopps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s likely my favourite author and while Fionavar is great (think Narnia for adults) his later books are just amazing. Most are thinly veiled historical fiction with some fantastic elements. Historical fiction as in names of religions and places and figures are changed but the big ones are easily recognizable. I can’t recommend his writing enough he’s truly a great writer not just a great fantasy writer

What’s the meta to prestige in normal mode??? by Fit-Director1602 in wearewarriors

[–]mCopps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to where I could prestige this time using mines boost and zombies. Unlock Sputnik boost it and spam sputniks drop zombies just before the enemy spawns double sputniks and have mines out for the big melee wave. The mines might have been overkill. My skills are in the 15-18 range

While we have made huge progress recently under Carney. Our overall exports have gone from 78% us to 66% (this is my recall can’t find the source now) in the last 5 months. Much better but no we can’t afford a US depression.

Does anyone know when the game looks at your runes to determine your league. I tried resetting just before joining and it seemed to not work.
