These Bengos games are always a rock fight.

Pretend you like, and are interested in the meaning of, her unnecessary wrist tattoo. That's good for at least 5 minutes of conversation.

Wife: "I bet he's thinking about other women."

Husband: "Marvel 'nerds' are now just normies."

I have often said (to mostly deaf ears) that Fantastic Mr. Fox is probably his best film, and one of my favorite films period. Glad to see it so high on one of these lists.

Purely strategically, the best bet is for NATO to fund and lend/lease materiel to Ukraine sufficient to make the Russian effort protracted and expensive. Maybe Ukraine can solidify some territorial gains in Russian oblasts enough to have bargaining chips. From there it is just a game of finding acceptable off-ramps. Maybe a treaty gets signed that trades territory back to something like the "original" borders circa the beginning to the current conflict.

Russia clearly doesn't care about personnel losses (and historically never has). But maybe if it drags on, the conflict will become economically and politically costly enough that Putin is looking for offramps.

This sounds awesome. It uses the native YouTube app? Or YouTube in the TV web browser?

The temp is low but it is a vacuum. Vacuums are bad at dissipating heat. Think of the vacuum walled drinking vessels. They are so efficient at keeping beverages hot/cool because the vacuum insulates the majority of the surface area that heat can move across.

Likewise a cooling tank of water (typical nuclear reactor design) itself surrounded by vacuum, will not cool efficiently at all. Presumably they'd have to use piping to circulate the water over a large surface area of some other medium like the moon rock itself.

This lady looks like a GoT style witch. I guess Trump is Stannis in that scenario, only with less charisma.

This is where "piracy" is actually the industry's saving grace. Decades or centuries later, will record labels exist and be well-managed (and flush with cash) enough to preserve archival copies of their artists catalogs? Probably not.

Will obscure weirdos exist all around the world on Usenet, IRC, or seeding torrents? Possibly.

Here's an idea: Maybe stop making films no one asked for?

Even fans of the franchise didn't really want this. How do you translate a looter shooter into a watchable 2 hour film?

I really enjoy playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, 15 minutes at a time on my Steam Deck. I'm not sure I need to see some forced deep cinematic character development extrapolated from it. There's not that much to it.

I pitched commemorative 9/11 Jenga (comes with 2 block towers) and people didn't like that idea either.

This is stupid. I will dig further into the real impact to Graphene.
