  1. That looks badass. A race down the strip at night will be amazing.
  2. I didn't watch the Oscars much less see this live but it was impossible to ignore the next morning as it was, quite literally, everywhere. Front page of every news site I visit and the virtual front page of the only social media site I check, Twitter. So I saw a couple of clips and then looked for the unedited feed to maybe get more context and found one that was like the full 90s or so from the joke until Chris Rock 'recovered' and went into his documentary award or whatever it was. At first watch, in real time, I thought it had to be a bit. Smith is clearly laughing at the joke as the camera cuts to him after. Even when he walks up to Rock, Rock is sort of standing there weird, like he's waiting for something. The slap was a surprise but I still thought it had to be a bit. When Smith is walking back he looks like he is smirking or something to me, maybe he's just looking to.Jada for approval though. Anyway when he starts yelling at him from the seat then I thought "Was that real?" I don't know if it was 100% unscripted and authentic. I am blown away though that he could have done something like that and not get kicked out of the event. More than anything that is what makes me still consider it might have been at least partially scripted. Celebrity and wealth privilege aside, the Oscars don't have security empowered to do something like that? What would have happened if two people got into a physical altercation in the audience over some real or imagined slight? Nothing? There is not one person in charge who could have made the call to eject him? We live in an era where taking a swing at someone on a football field will get you sent to the locker room and this dude can slap someone on live TV and just go sit down? And then to discover minutes later he wins his award, gets let on stage and crys and shows no remorse or accountability and gets a fucking standing ovation? That's fucking crazy to me even for Hollywood dipshits. As for whether or not Rock knew about her condition...who gives a fuck. He's a comedian doing his job and they are public figures and 100% fair game. You go to these things and you can expect to be roasted if you are famous and have some roastable shit out there. No bald jokes allowed now? No fat jokes allowed either I guess? FWIW, I didn't know about her condition but I knew about their open marriage. Would he have gotten slapped for talking about that? It looked like in the immediate aftermath he wanted to bring that up, I wish he would have. Finally comparing this to any political conspiracy is laughable. The conspiracy here would be two actors were acting?
  3. The entire franchise is fantastic. But yeah 3 was my favorite game ever. I don't think Cyberpunk, at least on PC, was as bad as people make it out to be. It was just hyped up to a degree that only a perfect game would have lived up to. I would buy a Witcher 4 sight unseen.
  4. Deep Water What the fuck. Surprisingly watchable, in that it is 2 hours and we stuck with it in one sitting, but just a terrible, terrible movie.
  5. I was watching via Hulu Live and the stream also sucked so maybe it was some kind of issue upstream. I enjoyed the race. I hate all of Red Bull more than I like any other team but I am happy to see Ferrari running good. As a newer, casual fan it seems like they should always be good. One of those "The sport is better when X is good" type things. What happened with Bottas at the start? They didn't talk about it too much or if they did I missed it but dropping 8 spots right away seems like something must have happened.
  6. He is my favorite driver. Something tells me if he had been born 70 years earlier he would have killed a fuck ton of Russians and Germans.
  7. You think this shit is not coming in primarily through our open southern border? Talk about ignorant. Virtually all of it comes to the US via Mexico.
  8. Shocking when you consider how young adults are renowned for their decision making prowess.
  9. Ragnarok is out for Valhalla and I got it even though the Asgard/Jotunheim parts were, for me, easily the shittiest content in the base game. I think its a little nuts this is $40 too, vs the $25 I paid for Ireland and France, but whatever. Anyway, it's a lot better than I thought it would be. The new powers are just fancier abilities that use a new fuel called Hugr as opposed to Adrenaline but they are pretty cool. The Raven one is especially awesome. You turn into a Raven for 30 seconds or so and then can pick exactly where to land resulting in exploration shortcuts or creative assassination attempts. There's only like 5 new powers, but they are all interesting. I can't really comment on the story as I have only played a few hours and I always go exploring vs doing main quest stuff to start with. My biggest complaint is that you have to drink the potion to go there and wake up to get back, I wish they would have just made it like going to the normal places.
  10. FWIW the number being tossed around on Twitter for 2022 Russian oil imports to the US is 600K bpd.
  11. But I mean that's the franchise. All the Demon's Souls games are extremely challenging and disrespectful of the player's time. Who bought this game not knowing that? Sure someone did but not most people. The disparity in reviews for critics v consumers on the PC seems to be performance issues. The next gen console versions have much closer critic v consumer reviews.
  12. Hangover might get some scenes cut if released today. Paging Dr. Faggot. Retard. Baby jacking off joke. Probably some others I am forgetting.
  13. Google got me this from EIA. 209K bpd imported from Russia in 2021 out of 3.2M bpd total.
  14. Never seen the movie but the show based on it was pretty good for a few seasons. Very unbelievable, but entertaining none the less.
  15. I always find it fascinating when critics slobber on something and users shit on it. This is currently one of the highest rated PC games of all time by critics, on metacritic, with a 95/100 rating. Users, however, are giving it 5.3/10. Lots of reasons this can happen but in this case it seems to be because of the optimization being shit.
  16. I went with Origins.

    Streaming

    I generally don't watch streams and this is not streaming but YouTube videos...that said I found this dude's Red Dead Redemption 2 videos hilarious. Especially the lasso ones. https://www.youtube.com/user/XpertThief/videos
  18. I thought this dude died a while back.
  19. Matt Ryan has objectively better stats than Stafford. Is he getting into the Hall? No, he isn't.
  20. Every fucking year I try to watch the Super Bowl pregame show and every year I last about 5 minutes before turning it off.
  21. Put down the crack pipe. No way in hell Stafford gets into the Hall with just one Super Bowl win. He's like a .500 QB.
  22. I saw this CJRB Scoria on a YouTube video about best budget knives and I liked the look of it enough to get it. It's some kind of powder formed steel with black DLC that has a questionable pedigree, but nice Micarta scales. Overall dimensions are perfect for my ideal carry knife. I paid $70 delivered so I am not sure that qualifies as budget but I like the knife.
  23. I was not familiar with Civivi until looking them up after your post. I had heard of We Knife but ignored them because China. I am a total sucker for Damascus and Damasteel though, love flippers as well as Micarta so I bought this one and love it. Button lock also turned out to be a plus, my first one. Anyway I went on a spree and bought five other Damascus Civivi's. This one turned out to be one of my favorites out of the six. Early thoughts on the other five: Pintail in Damascus/Wood. I knew this was small but its just too small for me to carry and use. Very nice though. I love the blade geometry and the wood scales are amazing for the price point. I would love this knife in like a 3.5" blade and 4.5" handle. As it stands I'm going to give it to my grandson, its a good size for a kid. Mini Asticus in Damascus/Wood. This is about as small as I can go. 3.25" blade ~4" handle. Again, the scales are crazy good for the price point. I like this knife enough to keep it but if it was not Damascus, I wouldn't. Elementum in Damascus/Carbon Fiber. I thought I would like this more than I did. I debated returning it. Button lock, which again is new to me but I like a lot. However unlike the Cogent it's not an assisted flipper. Not a huge deal as the action is great and it flips open and closed easily but when I bought it I thought it had a flipper and I would not have bought it if I knew it wasn't. I don't love the scales, they are slippery. Looks nice though. Praxis in Damascus/Copper. This is a beast. I've never had anything with copper scales and this motherfucker is heavy. Like, way too heavy to pocket carry in gym shorts which is my default outfit. That said it is a very good looking knife and I put it on display even though I will likely never use or carry it. Riffle in Damascus/Wood. This is my favorite out of the six. I love the cutout on the blade. The scales, like the other wood Civivi's, are perfect. Handle length is perfect for me.

    The Goldbergs

    We are half way through S3 and it's still great. Barry has become one of my all time favorite sit com characters. Ironically, considering there would be no show without the real life dude, Adam is my least favorite character.
