  1. Hope it doesn't either. Remember meeting Lee Harvey Oswald's daughter when she worked there like 30+ years ago.
  2. Yep. Last time American-made aircraft shot down Russian-operated MiGs would have been the 70s (Vietnam), but there is a possibility that Russians were in the cockpits of some of the Arab MiGs the Israelis fought later on.
  3. The cartons are literally plates. It's what they were designed for. So yeah, the people in TV shows and movies are doing it slightly wrong, but it's only because they aren't fully utilizing the cartons the way they were designed.
  4. When my middle-schooler has asked about growing up then, I've told him that it was basically Stranger Things without most of the monsters.
  5. And she started her own family and her oldest is about to start high school!
  6. They won't profit if their dumbass customers are risking their kids ending up in the hospital because they wouldn't get a simple vaccine, or just as bad, the dumbass parents are listening to RFK Jr and giving their kids too much Vitamin A or ivermectin or whatever the fuck the yokels think is not Big Pharma.
  7. Only 6 episodes and maybe tying together some old plot lines or I should say maybe bridging some plot lines. Kind of suspect a lot of TV shows from here on out are to serve the movies. Hate that Armor Wars shifted from a series to a movie, just like Moana 2.
  8. They’ll be bending over backward trying to get us to get vaccinated because they don’t want the resulting hospital bills. The bills from hospitalized kids of dumbass parents would get big really fast,
  9. June 24th. Leaning heavily into the comics
  10. I was in one of the buildings y’all drove past, watching the filming. So I kind of was in it.
  11. You or your mugshot in the parts documenting the celebrations?
  12. When the rest fuck around and come down with preventable shit that wipes them or their families out, they might learn, while we foot the bill.
  13. I know you’re joking, but for those who don’t know Jade Helm was about us putting special operations troops into Syria. Which we did. We even figured it out on the old site - the places they would be driving around or between mapped out perfectly distance wise to Iraq/Syria, and it was the same units that deployed to Syria.
  14. I was until I found out you don't get a SAG card/benefits for being in straight-to-video pornos.
  15. So they are going back to splitting the company up again. Lot of people getting paid a shitload of money to make really bad decisions and then try to fix the decisions they made. Most of WBD Debt to Go With TV Networks Company Earlier on Monday, June 9, Warner Bros. Discovery announced a split that most of the industry saw coming. There will be two independently-operated, publicly-traded companies: Streaming & Studios and Global Networks. Those will be renamed at some point (and probably “Warner Bros.” and “Discovery” — again). It is a very similar move to what NBCUniversal recently did to form Versant. Disney has also toyed with the idea. Wiedenfels, currently the WBD chief financial officer and Zaslav’s longterm right-hand man, expects his coming company, Global Networks, to “continue to see strong cash generation.” Though cable TV is dying, it still generates cash flow — especially CNN, which heads out with Wiedenfels. Both Wiedenfels and Zaslav will continue in their present roles at WBD until the separation, which is expected to close in mid-2026. Zaslav’s Streaming & Studios company will consist of Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO and HBO Max, as well as their legendary film and television libraries. The second business, Global Networks, will include entertainment, sports and news television brands around the world as CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., and Discovery, free-to-air channels across Europe, and digital products such as the profitable Discovery+ streaming service and Bleacher Report (B/R). In other words, Zaslav gets the cool, creative stuff; Streaming & Studios has all of the prestige and most of the future. Wiedenfels will be in charge of much of what presently makes reliable money, but he also inherits all of the downside based on industry trends. And oh yeah, most of that debt. “Three years ago, the very foundation of how, when, and where audiences engaged with content was undergoing fundamental change,” Zaslav wrote in a memo to staff, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, in reference to the 2022 combination of WarnerMedia and Discovery. “As both organizations contemplated their futures, one truth became clear: to successfully adapt, transform, and lead in the entertainment industry of tomorrow, we needed to come together — to draw on each other’s strengths.”
  16. So @Schulz2.0 that first target is the area circled in red on this map, with Ukraine's boarder on the left in red. Moscow is the poop drawing or whatever somebody drew. Wonder why they aren't hitting Moscow - the drones in the video were big enough to go the distance and not be launched from trucks or rail cars (and they didn't look too stealthy). My only guess is that Moscow probably has 50% (or more) of all Russian air defense hardware circling it. They are hitting targets that degrade Russian military infrastructure, and unless Moscow/Putin gives up some of those air defense systems, they have a lot of fairly unguarded targets to choose from. Still want to see the Kremlin in flames.
  17. Knowing the Russians, and how they store equipment, they are probably too cheap to have hangar space for everything anyways (not that we do, but we at least maintain our stuff and we do it well). Russians may start parking their hangar queens out in the open to soak up drones and keeping the good stuff inside.
  18. I wonder how much engineering effort is wasted on his whims that go nowhere.
  19. I didn't know the Rolling Stones were still touring.
  20. Jon Stewart raked him over the coals. If you don't like The Daily Show, don't watch since it has some stuff on Trump, but the first 12 minutes are solid Elon-bashing. Jon Stewart on Elon Musk's Black-Eyed Exit The Daily Show
