    The Prepper Thread

    Having gone through SERE and some other less intense survival training, it is hard to overstate the quality of life improvement from having soy sauce, tabasco, cholula, or some other flavoring to add to your food.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Took the family there for xmas. Yes we got up early for the new ride but it wasn't quite that bad. There were still afternoon boarding passes available 30 minutes after 7am opening. They advertise that they are "standby" and you might not get called but the real tickets were finished by lunch...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It's one of those rubber plastic ones. My wife bought me one and said he was on the advertisement. They are money by the way, comfortable and safe for any real work.

    My kids still mess around with euro truck so I'll take American Truck Simulator off your hands if it's still available.

    Farm Simulator

    If you don't want to outright cheat but still want easy money you can abuse the buy/sell land mechanics. The price for land is the same for both buying and selling and doesn't factor in the state of the crops. Let the AI plant & fertilize and buy the plot when ready to harvest, even if you...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    IK set with everything the same as rend/ww and you can't fail. Constant ww will reset cooldown of wrath so you literally can't fail.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I much prefer my monumental drastic changes to the universe completely out of the blue sans conversation a la hyperspace kamikazes. That leaked plot isn't super terrible....if they hadn't made TFA and TLJ. What's the point of the First Order or Snoke if Palp was out there the whole time with...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't generally have a storage problem during the season. Non season, which I never log into except to empty the post-season mail, has 1+ tab per class for sets, another tab or so per class for ancients, 1 for gems, and now the better part of a tab for mostly useless primals that I have a...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Your boner is probably from the 45 seconds of OT footage. I counted like 5 seconds of footage from TLJ and none of it plot relevant so I wonder if they're just gonna pretend most of it didn't happen.

    Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

    That peanut butter sandwich scene in Endgame with BW and Cap showed that the non-snapped avengers were still on the job. With the exception of the people Tony Stark pissed off (which now includes Mysterio and Ralphie) every other villain in the MCU was spawned by an infinity stone. Once the...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    As a practical matter why would you ever pick a black female as a globetrotting covert agent. Good luck sending her on a mission to eastern europe/russia, east asia, or muslim countries (now including parts of western europe). Joke all you want about Connery pretending to be a Jap but that's...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    She's an abandoned orphan on a sand inventor planet. Virginity was never in the cards for her. Maybe the lightsaber was coated in her schmegma and that's the real reason Luke tossed it aside.

    Ahh, the true cause of deaths at Chernobyl. There were in the feedwater too long. They should have been taken to the infirmary.

    I can't speak to the capacity of the soviet water pumps but remember the miner's joke; "What's as big as a house..." It's likely their pumps had no more throughput that yours.

    They did cast a black guy. He was the one that went right, looked over the edge, and stuck his foot under the graphite.

    Radiation detectors. I think they are supposed to be white. I'll pay attention when/if I rewatch the before scenes in ep5.

    Chernobyl

    Even if the judge and prosecutor were fairly powerful, Scherbina was a member of the Central Committee and vice chairman of the Counsel of Ministers. That's like having the Vice President and Secretary of Energy in the room.

    Chernobyl

    There's not a category I can think of that it shouldn't be a front runner. Adapted screenplay/writing, direction, cinematography, music, costume, makeup, actors and supporting actors, special effects. Hell, I'd even give it kid's choice award for best kiss for the fireman and his wife.

    Chernobyl

    One of the issues is that there are numerous different radioactive isotopes that got spread. One of the worst was the cesium which commonly forms salts that are water soluable and are easily absorbed by plants and animals. That's one of the reasons the firefighters were still emitting...

    I want that on a shirt but I can't decide. Grey, red, or blue striped tank top. Speaking of which, there is a distinct lack of stripey tank tops in this show.

    Chernobyl

    I'm sure it was considered but I wonder why they didn't use some tower cranes with long booms to drag a plow or scoop across the roof. They had cranes on site during the cleanup and they used them for the sarcophagus. Even if it wouldn't be perfect I think they still could have cleared off the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Conquests are just moderate speed bumps now. T16 means you can get Avarice almost by accident if you speed run rifts especially if you level a Boon to 50 and wear the avarice belt. Thrill is a joke with the season LoN buff since you get the bonus without actually wearing the set. Years of war...

    I'll be curious to see if this episode keeps the high rating or if it takes a hit from the animal scenes.

    Chernobyl

    The above posts talk about the faults of RBMK, but one of the benefits is that the water is at significantly lower pressure than western reactors. Contemplating a water pressure explosion probably didn't even cross their minds because their reactors were specifically designed to use lower...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea, that's my biggest problem with set dungeons is that you can overpower them and fail. I get trying to force players to use the secondary set bonuses as intended but I wish more were like marauders where you don't have to intentionally gimp yourself to master it. Started with a wiz this...

    Chernobyl

    From what I've read that scene is one of the few that was intensified for dramatic effect. In reality it was supposedly a couple inches of water and the biggest obstacle was the maze of pipes and hallways.

    It's too bad this aired before the GoT finale. Would have been money for someone to drop a "and who has a better story than Chris" during the reunion.

    Chernobyl

    The first podcast kind of talks about the radiation awareness. They think it was essentially two things. Firstly no one thought an explosion was possible in the core, which combined with the low level dosimeters led to strong denial that they were in danger. In a system built on lies it was...

    As we'll likely see in the next episodes some of those guys did recover but at some point you have to think euthanization is the more humane option.

    Chernobyl

    5 episodes. It will be interesting to see how they transition from what has been a suspense thriller into a political thriller. The casting has been great and from what I've read over the last two weeks it is a pretty spot on recreation of events.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Vary's only thought about poisoning Dany. The kitchen girl was actually faceless littlefinger. He poisoned everyone with crazy juice that Dany and others drank causing the personality changes. Chaos is a ladder. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

    Kind of bullshit that a last episode redemption returnee wins. I highly doubt they ever do this format again where they allow the whole jury to socialize for weeks and then reenter. I would think Devins is a lock for the next alumni season, probably Gavin too for getting the shaft.

    Well, not quite as dramatic as if it was game 7 but I guess I'm good until the cup finals now.
