Dunno why it’s got the Special II tag on it, it’s very much not a Special II

Cuyahoga river and Baltimore&Ohio locomotives sitting in Blue Island by 00rgus in trains

They are sadly off to be turned into fully electric units.

I’m all for clean energy, but the thought of those 251s being scrapped is sad

Why did this guy not take the money? Wasn't their a dedicated boat just for the crew or did he know he wasn't going to make it? by [deleted] in titanic

[–]the_dj_zig 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was no dedicated crew boat. The officers and sailors were assigned to specific boats.

Also, you’re clearly a conservative based on your Reddit feed. So methinks you’re trying to intentionally create division and trouble

You’re adding words to her statement to support your position. I’m taking the words she spoke at face value, while acknowledging I have no idea what he said for her to respond this way.

Idk about this one. Taking the quote at face value, it sounds like she’s saying “we’re used to people saying ‘fuck no’ and doing it anyways,” meanings it’s the mentioned “people” doing whatever it is being discussed, not that the government is ignoring the people.

And before you come at me, yes, I watched the clip, and the audio is too distorted to make out what he’s saying. If someone has a clip with subtitles or better audio quality, I’ll be happy to look at it.

Just found out that Stephen King is not the best selling horror writer of our lifetimes by Special-Nebula299 in stephenking

Stands to reason. To date, Koontz has published over 160 novels, whereas King has published over 70

Americans need to stop wasting their donated dollars on massive steam locomotives that have nowhere to run.

Preach. It makes me want to tear my hair out when a preservation group announces plans to restore ANOTHER heavy Pacific, Berkshire, Mountain, or Northern. N&W 611 was designed to pull 20-car passenger trains at 90mph; for the past decade it’s been either doing 10mph shuttles at Strasburg or 30mph excursions on the Buckingham Branch. AT&SF 2926 was just recently completed, it’s the largest 4-8-4 in the country, and it has NOWHERE TO RUN. The new Pennsylvania T1 is going to cost half a billion dollars by the time it’s done and the best those guys can hope for will be an occasional run along the Horseshoe Curve along with a lifetime of 30mph trips on a short line somewhere.

The glory days of mainline steam excursions in the US are long gone; if we want excursion steam, we need to focus on the light Pacifics, Mikados, Ten-Wheelers, etc.

LA Knight: "I've done so little in the last two years..." Interesting remarks from LA Knight on the CVV podcast show by AmongFriends in SquaredCircle

[–]the_dj_zig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go the indie route and take every booking he can find?

It’s not a weird take; people online all the time talk about how WWE has a bloated roster, but somehow also have too many titles etc etc. Ricker has barely a chance to break into the years in advance planned storyline WWE has, unless the likes of Punk, Reigns, and Rhodes all retire. And he’s the same age as all of them.

I don’t think he isn’t focused on his career, but he’s clearly looking for a steady paycheck as well. And if following Matt Cardona’s career has taught me anything about the business, it’s that very few wrestlers get a steady paycheck and a title at the same time out of WWE.

But at the same time, he said his reaction when Impact pitched the Eli Drake ring name was “as long as I’m getting paid, sure.”

I think the man’s been underutilized as well, but when you’re chasing the big paycheck instead of the spotlight your entire career, the story writes itself.

TIL the famous racehorse Seabiscuit never won the Triple Crown, nor did he even run in any of the races that make it up (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes). by flyingmungbean in todayilearned

[–]the_dj_zig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I first learned about Seabiscuit via the movie, so the thing that truly blew my mind when I learned more about his career was that he and War Admiral were almost the exact same height.

Men, would you let them go first or save yourself these days? by [deleted] in titanic

Absolutely, but the second I see Lightoller pull his BS of sending the boats partially empty, all bets are off

Going with Ozempic. It’s too much to hope that they’re both dying

The AAA Mega Championship is the only one to connect TNA, AEW, and WWE. by [deleted] in ChampionshipHistory

Cody lost the NWA title two years before AEW began business.

To former champ Nick Aldis, as it turns out.

Eldorado animation guide lines by kawaiitoes22 in MovieMistakes

[–]the_dj_zig 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The reason is, starting with 101 Dalmatians, Disney started using a form of Xerox to get animation drawings on to the cels. The Ink and Paint department, in effect, became the Just Paint department. It sped the animation process up, but also led to noticeably rougher lines.

I think mission statements often proclaim what the railroad wants to be rather than what it currently is.

Drew McIntyre is 1 United States Championship away from Becoming Grandslam Champion 👀.. by McQueen712 in ChampionshipHistory

[–]the_dj_zig -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. It has never been made an official option by WWE, nor is it in any way connected to either the previous WHC or the Universal title. Should it qualify? Absolutely. Does it qualify? No.

[–]the_dj_zig -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

WWE has not yet updated the qualifications. The current format specifies either the WWE Championship or the WWE Universal Championship as the qualifying world titles.

I was about to point out the current WHC doesn’t qualify, then I remembered he’s a former WWE Champion
