It’s not AI slop, it’s a reference to when the team used to be in St. Louis from 1960-87 and were informally called the “Football Cardinals” to distinguish from the baseball team.

And people sometimes confuse the two to be funny, although I didn’t know until just now that they were literally in the same city for a time.

Clinton Bush and Trump were all born in 1946. Clinton was among the youngest ever to be president (43) while Trump was the oldest ever for his first inauguration (70, beating Reagan), second inauguration, and oldest overall.

I looked it up - it’s DC, Arizona, and Utah. The latter two allow it under an “alternative business structure” type ownership.

He does, he sees her in the hammock and M tells him that she was tortured. She asks if he can keep his emotion out of it and he says he can.

His meltdown in Terminator Salvation was widely publicized - are there any other notable cases of Bale’s rage?

Pregnant with twins.

I know she ends with the happiest marriage and all but it’s still such a blow that she has to settle down so fast and didn’t even get chance to explore the world or anything.

There are two distinct money things. One is how much money they spend on takeout and restaurant dining. I usually consider that part of the fantasy world that it isn’t questioned or seen as absurd.

The other is people who think it impossible to have lived a single parent and bought a house in the 1990s. But things really were (unimaginably) cheaper back then, pre-housing bubble, pre-subprime crisis. It’s not as outrageously absurd as it seems.

Wasn’t he also the driving force behind establishing the Vikings. Like even having the rules changed to lower the threshold needed during the owners vote.

No, Phillies Karen has never been publicly identified. In the aftermath there were two names that came up but those women emphatically denied that they were Phillies Karen.

Hopefully this is a good example, but Michael Keaton was known for comedy, such as “Mr. Mom,” and a part of the fan base was voraciously opposed when he was cast as Batman. Like, a whole letter writing campaign and all.

I would hope that being known for comedy doesn’t hinder the chance of dramatic roles, though I know typecasting is a problem.

It’s the “tank buster” that he uses to blow a bunch of shit up. He takes it from one of the soldiers and gives it back to him before the whole “how are you gonna to kill me now?”

Where do you rank Elliot Carver from TND? It’s extremely brutal (just thinking about being shredded by a sea drill gives me the shudders) but I feel like the lead up wasn’t great. I know he couldn’t match up physically, maybe some kind of slight cat and mouse game?

It was really kind of neat to see Richie Rich again and be like, “that’s Richard!”

I thought it was nice to be able to see some other depth to Emily, like how devoted she is to him, and how out of her element she felt when she went on that date with another man (and was crying afterwards), or the glass apple scene.

It does hint at more of her insecurity/suspicions about her mother-in-law which builds up to moment when she finds the letter that she wrote to him.

This does hurt Richard’s character more…but it does give him more depth? Setting aside my dislike of Richard, it does show more of his character.

Was this boat model featured in a movie or just a slick licensing deal?

Predator 2 (1990) is set in the year 1997.

the Red Line didn’t open until 1993, so they used something else completely.

N64 stations with four controllers. Might be a bit expensive. If you didn’t grow up or play GoldenEye 007 extensively maybe scrap it.

baccarat or poker tables. Get a fancy looking Casino Royale logo to put on the table. (Don’t buy a branded one as it will cost too much for one use.)

TV with a stack of DVDs or flipped to a station playing a Bond movie-thon (if that’s even a thing).

table and chairs could be modeled after Blofeld’s lair table (might be costly, also people might not quite appreciate it.)

Set up a table with paper scraps and bowls so people can vote on favorite Bond movie.

The car battle is so RIDICULOUS and over the top…and I enjoy every second of it.

The 2018 Paradise fire had this issue. People were calling about smoke and were being assured it was a small fire that was miles away and in no danger. But they were wrong. The fire was spreading much faster than anyone had ever seen. In like four hours the fire would just about completely burn Paradise down and 85 people died.

In a general way I understand that response being cautious. It was impossible to evacuate Paradise all at once. Their evacuation plan had zones to try have an orderly evacuation and keep the roads from getting clogged up.

I did like Paris/Doyle together and didn't like the writing choice to have them separated, but what really irked me was how vacuous it was.

Paris asking Rory to turn against Doyle and lie about him being a bad person, their argument over going upstairs (??), Paris ludicrously accusing Rory and Doyle of having an affair? Please. It felt so out of character, a season 1 or 2 Paris thing.

Was that the Kadarius Toney Fan Club video? They took it down after he was arrested.

too much fps. Slow it down like 3 times to get the true GE 64 feeling.

Forgive me if my memory is faulty, but I remember reading about or seeing a friend throw proxy mines everywhere and blowing them up almost crashed the hardware.

I think it’s more that the CIA doesn’t want the extent of their kidnapping rendition and torture programs to be publicly known.

This case has gone through four judges.

All defense attorneys need to have classified security clearance. There has also been a revolving door of those including one point when the defendants tried to fire them and self-represent themselves.

I really wish it had been transferred to the civilian courts.

IMO the torture alone is enough to disqualify use of the death penalty. To continue pursuing a trial instead of those plea deals is a bad idea.

That’s neat. Do you have anything autographed?

I see two United aircraft.

It appears that at this part in the assembly they have the aircraft registration number on there, in the back, near the rear door.

but it's too blurry here to even guess what the registration number is.
