  1. The Polar Express has to be up there. The animation is terrible and disconcertingly creepy. Like they couldn't be bothered to spend a bit of extra time to make the movements seem in any way natural and decided spreading nightmares was about as good as spreading Christmas cheer. The wife put it on for the kids tonight, but she and the 4 year old were the only ones watching. The middle child was playing Mario 64 on his Switch (pos rep for him) while I pretty much ended up doing everything for him after he tried and failed, or got to distracted dropping the baby penguin down the chimney (he's 6, so he thought that was about the funniest thing ever). Of course we were too much of a distraction from her slow roll horror movie that never ends. Speaking of which, they finally arrived at the North Pole at about 9 o'clock, and I ask if we should start getting the kids ready for bed, as they've already stayed up pretty late and I have stuff I need to do, like watch Ken Burns' American Revolution Documentary. "It's almIost over," I'm told. Fourty five minutes later they are still waiting on Santa to shut up so they can go home and finish the damn story. How in the most unholy of abominations do you stretch a story out so long? It's worse than the droid factory scene in whichever Star Wars prequel that was.
  2. Pirate booty. And who doesn't like booty?
  3. Yeah, that's a hard pill to swallow for a rental.
  4. I'm not sure "shot down" is the correct terminology, but still pretty cool
  5. While we as the public may not know what exactly is going on with UAP, there are tons of government documents that have been released that confirm there has been a cover up going on for longer than most of us have been alive. Whether or not we have been visited by non human intelligence may be up for debate, but whether or not there has been a cover up related to the subject isn't.
  6. Lol, that's cute. We don't even have P&ID's for our steam. We have so much stuff that exists in the field, but not on paper that it's real fun when you are in charge of coming up with a plan to lock it out. We even have ancient AIPed equipment in the field that has no tags or anything, and nobody even remembered what it was named until I stumbled across an old hand drawn drawing from the fifties in which had it on there.
  7. We will just have to legalize shooting the tires out of inconsiderate drivers.
  8. I've got a Rossi R44102 .44 mag snubbie. Recoil is unpleasant.
  9. Oh, so now we aren't supposed to complement a girls tits?
  10. At least they can just send some guys into the reactor with chainsaws. It's not like they have to worry about executing a confined space permit and all the fun stuff that comes along with that.
  11. Somewhere around here I have a DVD of Alone in the Wilderness hanging around. It is a documentary about Dick Proenneke building his cabin and such. It's well worth the watch if you can find it.
  12. Twist rate won't matter much if it is close range. In case you need to come up with a strategy to lure it in...
  13. I mean, why not once you don't have to eat the tax.
  14. Is there really much point in suppreing a 5.56 pistol? Subsonics are basically expensive .22's, and by the time you add the length of a suppressor is it really much quieter than a rifle length gun?
