  1. Lighten up. Chinatown is just the right speed.
  2. Just for reference, what are the other great movies from the early 70s that hold up to The Godfathers.
  3. Eathy for to to thay. That Brita is a swell gal.
  4. Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings (2021) It was fine. Any marvel movie that I can make it to the finish line is special and I made it all the way to Anderson Paak. Wife, who likes all the Marvel shit was only mildly impressed.
  5. What' that? Oh, it's Latin, isn't it.
  6. I'm sorry if it has been answered on the canine question. And I apologize because any of the folks on this board who live on more than an acre probably already know the answer to this. So there are coyotes in our area, so when our twenty pound dog has to piss in the middle of the night, I go out with him. To keep the coyotes away. And we both piss. Does the dog understand the perils that lay outside your door? Do they learn to just stay relatively close? Or do you go through a dog every couple of months or so?
  7. Gonna buy a Fisker Pear in 2024. Pretty sweet, eh? Gonna guzzle gas in the Fit until then.
  8. Yeah, it would be icing on the cake to take one out, but I'd just be happy doing the Lonesome Dove wave whenever I got sent out on patrol, just to get a chuckle out of the guys.
  9. Would think that charitable recommendations would include food and other services as well. I don't think there is a link to being charitable in peacetime to a strong foreign policy. But then again, you may think Trump is the epitome of strength.
  10. He asked what more we can do. That's an answer. Ukraine wants them and you and the Pentagon think it's a bad idea. Pretty easy, in fact, to understand.
  11. I heard the podcast and your interpretation seems exactly right.
  12. Trump stepping on his infantile dick during the pandemic didn't seem to slow the development of the vaccines. There, I said something nice.
  13. I'm willing to bet that's not true. Let's see what happens over the next two weeks, and if we do anything beyond what we are planning to do today, will you admit that you are overstating your case?
  14. Use the ignore function and stop bitching.
  15. Agree that much of the work is going to be clandestine, so very well understand the argument that "we are doing all we can". At this early stage I'm just not convinced that we are doing everything we can short of no fly and no troops. Multiply what we are doing by two or three. Make it clear that we are going to replenish the stockpiles of any ally providing tactical arms to Ukraine. Replenish the aircraft that the allies will be providing. In short, do everything we can to kill Russian invaders short of pulling the trigger. I'm open to any link that says we're tapped out and Ukraine says they don't need anything else.
  16. I think she's calling for us to get some balls and push on Putin a bit because the situation is not going to get better than it is now and we have lots to gain now, when we have the world (minus China and North Korea and the GOP) behind us.
  17. Anyone with any suggested charities? I just finished reading Doing Good Better so now I am all getting tied in knots on GiveWell and Charity Watch trying to find the best charities (Give Well always tends to argue you should just give your money for mosquito netting.) Anyway, seems like Docs Without Borders and Direct Relief might be good choices.
  18. I liked it, but it's got some problems. And I really do think Stewart is good.. Didn't know much about the back story and after watching the movie, still don't know much about it.
