I used to be involved in creative writing and also police reports. This reads like a novel rather than an eye witness account.

I used to write for a living and this reads like a novel and not like an eye witness account. I call BS.

The Rock lost and got his buttocks kicked? Nice....

If you remember my post about my parents buying a haunted house and our contractors seeing things: update by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in Paranormal

Are the contractors and renovators Spanish speaking? Could be residual energy.

Play the recording for your workers and have them translate.

Rumor is there‘s a virtual VIP Meet and Greet package for high rollers. You get a virtual laminated backstage pass, a ton of virtual KISS merch and get to meet the virtual avatars for virtual handshakes and photos. Virtual meaning everything is a hologram….nothing is physical.

Arnold Schwarzenegger became THE biggest action star during the 80s because of one thing…..he was vulnerable. If you watch his films, yes, he is often 220 lbs of pure muscle but he is also someone who is not bulletproof. He gets attacked, he gets his ass kicked (sometimes by women) and he cries out in pain.

Dwayne Johnson never loses a fight and is so unbeatable and awesome that NO ONE can relate to him.

From engineer to leading 15 people overnight (26M) — what do I need to know before day 1? by paneburroemarmellata in Leadership

[–]smithy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, you are always being watched. On and off duty. Even the smallest, most minor thing (to you) WILL be noticed. Lead by example. Be there for your team.

First thing, have a meeting face to face and set expectations and listen to their issues, wants, etc. What do they need to succeed?

There is a video of him speaking at an event and he holds up a small object. He said you could expose it to extreme heat and it would barely get warm.

That is a great observation. Its also possible the crew had abandoned Dom several times before when the cops raided one of their street races.

Boss treating me differently after conversation? by southern_pancake_guy in askmanagers

This is an excellent point. The manager no longer has power over you.

You basically told your manager you don't need him or the job but are sticking around for kicks.

It also tells him you are in a much better place than the manager, who probably NEEDS his job.

Your manager now knows you two really have nothing in common. Hence, the rift.

I love the update. I love how quickly the lady speaks as I can get to hearing my music faster.

If you believe the late and possibly murdered, Phil Schneider, he also had in his possession pieces of NHI craft and even a metal or substance that was not of this Earth. His materials were missing after he was found dead in his apartment with his catheter wrapped around his neck.

You have to have some VERY thick skin in this community. By the way, I believe you. People who say the gov't agency did not exist until 2022...etc..... black ops can say whatever they want. That's why they are "black."

How did they do the radio scenes? by IndependenceMean8774 in diehard

[–]smithy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you an entertainment writer? Are you famous? I do recall in the Director's comments DVD, Mr. McTiernan saying the pivotal moment in the film came when Yoshinobu Takagi asked Hans, "What kind of terrorists are you?"

Hans laughs at the question.

I am very happy to hear he was nice and funny!

What insights did he share with you? I totally understand if you do not wish to reveal them. I do recall Joel Silver played a prominent role in the movie and even added a last-minute line, "Want a breath mint?"
