  1. How do Russians heat their homes? NG, electricity, coal? Start making it literally cold in the big cities and maybe you'd get some movement. ETA And the shadow fleet. Do these ships fly Chinese or Indian flags? If not how about sinking a few? Ideally a long ways from Ukraine.
  2. Several of these movies RE defined genres. Unforgiven, for example. Same for John Wick. It's an action movie with lotsa gun play, but totally changed action movies with lotsa gun play.
  3. You'll be better for it.
  4. Pretty much this. Ukraine continues to get enough resources to hold the stalemate and their people to continue to not quit. The Russian people have proven themselves tough over many generations, but they also have proven to have limits. We don't KNOW how close they are to those limits. It's very possible we are doom casting and in reality they're close. Like one trigger and they collapse into rebellion. As Lenin said, ""There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen." That week might be next week. It can happen.
  5. God I love college football.
  6. What's the rule that says the XP can't be done?
  7. Thank you
  8. Even old man Pike has beautiful hair.
  9. Any chance you could share a synopsis? An hour ten is quite some time.
  10. HOT shower after being out in the cold. Run it hot, run it until the water heater is empty.
  11. Long past time Europe divests from Russian energy. They layed down with the Devil and need to just deal with the expense of moving to more expensive energy. Suck it up. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/eu-considers-faster-russian-oil-gas-exit-after-us-pressure-2025-09-10/
  12. Did the Omega Man beget all the rest if the "dystopic future movies?" 12 Monkeys, Se7en, etc, all copied the tone and look. If not that movie. then it hasta be Soylent Green.
  13. https://www.slashfilm.com/1953034/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-comedy-episodes-season-3-limit/ Reviewer says there was too much comedy. I understand their view but disagree. The quality of the plots really fell off the last 2 episodes. Reminded me of my younger self starting, and finishing, a term paper the night before it was due. It passed, but was hardly good. Mentioned above that the writers' strike mighta been a factor.
  14. Mos def. Props to OP.
  15. I hope this view isn't callous. The fact they don't understand 9-11 might the the symptom of a good thing. For quite some time after, we were mentally prepared for followup attacks. Smaller for sure; maybe even lone wolf. Certainly had some near misses, and it was only because of the hard work of our FBI and such, but the dark predictions did not come true. Youngs don't know about 9-11-01 becuase we didn't have a 9-11-02/03/etc. Again, I apologize if that view is out of line.
  16. Well there are a few less now...
  17. My God the risk every one of those people took. Go into a hot, emotional, irrational crowd of strangers and just hang out. SO easy for a second hit. Just go home. Go home and be sad. Go home and be mad. All you gotta do to make it a a little less bad is NOT BE THERE.
  18. Even with lackluster American support, I presume a Polish brush fire would sell end badly for Russia?
  19. Bump. Let's keep it civil, Guys. There's an entire whole other Cloak Room for saying mean things. In this thread we should follow the advice of my mother, "If you don't know if it's a mean thing to say, don't say it." I sincerely believe that at least one of the people killed on 9-11 woudla gone on to invent some kinda world-changing thing, cure cancer, or similar. What a waste all this hate.
  20. Which Tom Clancy novel should I read in preparation for what might be about to come?
  21. Demolition Man defined the cheesy, easy, simple, dumb 90's action flick.
  22. Will we every have the tech to buy a good dash cam on a military aircraft? Grainy black/white fuels a lot of speculation. And yeah, a small missile hitting a drone and failing to detonate would look just like what we see in that vid.
  23. Episode 6. Again, the lab safety protocols. But they sure are creepy, especially the sheep. And it's gonna be fun watching Boy Wonder getting his. Also. I like Godsmack.
