  1. If you want a zip line adventure with that extra bit of "are we sure they have this set up correctly?" adrenaline vibe, zip line in Albania. Sort of a combo of exhilaration and relief that you didn't actually die. And the new one they put in Dubai is really incredible from an adrenaline perspective. But the one in that video is beyond anything I've ever seen, much less ridden.
  2. Let Sark know, that's probably the last piece of intel they need to make their decision
  3. G650 just dunked on chatgpt, and gloriously so.
  4. Exactly. Friend of mine just turned 40 and is in a walking boot for 4-6 weeks after walking off of a curb the wrong way. With age comes wisdom....and humiliation.
  5. Vic Shafer is the truth and his team is confident, ready to play anyone and beat their ass.
  6. As a psychologist, 100% cosign with this. Anxiety-related disorders (including phobias) can be treated really effectively. As for Christmas lighting, just forget lights and install Jellyfish lighting or the like. I don't have a fear of heights but why put yourself in a hazardous situation? Also, badass that you were a firefighter. Major props.
  7. I would like to think that the manager of All American Burger would have more quality control. I eat here all the time and usually have good service!
  8. That shark video is definitely a holy shit video, and it's also from 2016.
  9. IfI were CDC, I would still wake up every morning chuckling about how I fucked over a&m by stealing their baseball coach when we needed one. It really was a masterstroke. Just amazing.
  10. It did. But it also made me laugh out loud.
  11. That might be the worst Sean Miller story ever.
  12. That's it. WithoutAClue is going on ignore. Just post after post of the absolute worst unfunny Facebook drivel.
  13. I dig Spiritworld but Helldorado is pretty uneven. Love the metal songs, can't stand the others.

    Power Pop

    That’s the vibe I get too. I love that they change their set every night but that they keep playing several nights per week. It’s unbelievable. Also they have put out some great stuff in the post-Bun years. Daxx (not Zack, duh) is capable but will never compare to Bun; still, they have some great stuff out there with the latest lineup. Heart on the Line is one hell of a badass rock song and it holds up against anything else in their catalog, as one example.
  15. SABC3 (or 5FM) in South Africa is a fun station -- current ubiquitous pop hits but mixed in with other pop and rap chart toppers from SA and Europe that we don't hear in America.
  16. Colt was watching the game from the medical area. He told the coaches afterward "I knew every defense they were putting out there." He woulda carved them up. Dammit.

    Power Pop

    That's definitely the better version. If I'm not mistaken, Rick Nielsen did that studio work with John the same day his son Zak was born.

    Power Pop

    You're damn right it is. Side one opens with Stop This Game and Just Got Back, which is really hard to top in the power pop genre. So good that I went ahead and got a signed copy for my wall:
  19. I didn't read the book, but the movie seems pretty clearly to be about a haunted hotel, referencing the previous caretaker's murder spree. True that Jack's character was a broken man who was an insecure domineering drunk, but he wasn't mentally ill and he didn't kill his family because he went crazy from isolation. The isolation combined with his already low threshold for stress made him a vulnerable target for murderous intent by the hotel's spirit. I mean he wasn't possessed like Regan from the Exorcist or anything, but how else do you explain Danny seeing visions of the twins or the bloody elevator, having the shining with old man Halloran, having Halloran know that something bad was going to happen, or the photo in the closing frame of the movie if it's not due to an evil force at the hotel? Anyway, regardless, my point is that possession doesn't equate to mental illness.
  20. The Soloist is a GREAT addition. No, the Omen or the Exorcist or Hereditary or any other possession movies don't count. I don't even think the Shining counts. Possession and hauntings change a person's thoughts and behaviors, but they are external to the person. It looks like madness, but it's not -- it's possession. The Shining is a perfect example. Jack's character clearly seems to delve into madness as the movie goes on, but it's exclusively due to possession / haunting that has existed in the Overlook Hotel for many iterations over time. Also, the boy sees visions at times (blood in the elevator, the twins, etc), and he's clearly not mentally ill.
  21. Love and Mercy, about the onset and management of Brian Wilson's psychosis, is very well done.
  22. What the fuck are people talking about on this thread? All I see is a bunch of dorks in camo with dipshit weapons with a grey minivan or some shit. I don't see a maroon vehicle, anything related to RB, or 30a, or whatever the hell yall are discussing. I need to see that stuff so that I can immediately regret seeing it.
