    House of the Dragon

    To be fair, season 1 was pretty forgettable. I was a bit lost trying to remember what the various characters did, how they were related, or even who they were when watching this season.

    Gladiator 2

    The Holy Roman Empire was not holy, Roman, or an empire. The "German Empire" was mostly just Prussia with a few friends that maybe had 10% overlap with any lands once inhabited by Rome. The Nazis were too concerned with racial purity to worry about being descended from dirty Italian half breeds...

    F1 (2025)

    Senna is one the best documentaries I have seen and I have never watched a single F1 or Nascar race. Since it's a documentary, it isn't really comparable to other racing movies.

    The Boys

    That episode may have been the worst in the show. They already showed that Hughie has enormous plot armor, so there was no tension about his life being at stake. It certainly seems like they are stuck in the loop of one-upmanship in that every episode needs to have something even more extreme...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That Terrence Howard video is sooooo long, it's hard to get through, but the 14 minute clip they posted up was much more manageable (that the google algo got me with). I then went to the full video and watched about 40 minutes more from the end of the clip. It reminded me of student who thinks...

    Deadpool & Wolverine

    I liked TJ Miller in Silicon Valley, but the little I have heard about him off camera make it sound like he has some large mental problems that affect everything he does.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Very surprising that they went with a white Green Lantern when the animated show had a black one. After looking up who Guy Gardener even was, it also said John Stuart has always been black, so no race swap would even be needed. Does that hint at who is going to get killed in one of the first movies?

    "Stuntman Ross Kananga attemps at jumping across crocodiles in the 1973 James Bond film, 'Live and Let Die'. The takes resulted in a number of injuries requiring 193 stitches. He died a few years later from a heart attack."

    Did you check the list of sites I posted above (Music / Podcasts / Radio)? Last time I expanded my FLAC collection I sign up for a month of Deezer premium and then used a program to DL FLACs from them. Supposedly Spotify's free codec is lossless now too, but I haven't spent much time with it.

    Mattresses

    There are people that build their own mattresses out of the various foam layers instead of one large block of foam. I believe that is how the expensive foam mattress companies do it. I didn't find this until well after I bought my current bed, but I might try to build one next time. I hate my...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    While I know UK police are mostly unarmed, the people in that thread are saying that Northern Ireland police still all carry due to the history of violence against the various employees of the occupying government.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    The police of Northern Ireland seem to have a much more stringent use of force rule for their sidearm.

    House of the Dragon

    Season 8 killed my interest in GoT. I watched each season twice, as they aired until season 7. I also watched season 1 to 5 probably 3 or 4 times more, before season 8 dropped. I haven't watched any of it since then. There are a whole slew of shows I would rather watch, even if it's the 10th or...

    The Bear

    Yea, the Fak brothers are a bit annoying and hard to imagine any $150+/plate restaurant would allow either of them to be front of the house. There were a few episodes that seemed to drag on, but for the most part I also liked the change of pace in this season. There is only so much they can do...

    There is always a chance both are in it. It might have been scheduling issues too, since Schreiber has a TV show, set in Nantucket, in post production atm.

    The chickens were just being chickens. I didn't see them actually trying to eat people, they were just acting like stupid startled chickens that can happen to run/fly through people due to being super.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I would generally trust an enthusiast forum. Things to be aware of: Taller tires will throw your speedometer off (vehicle will be going faster than shown) unless you have it recalibrated. Outside of that, the info you found is probably based on stock ride height; so if that changes somehow, you...

    That was a whole hour of nothingburger outside of making High Pitched Homelander Jr. start down his path to evil. The episode wasn't even clever gratuitous violence (outside of, maybe, Hughie's advertisement for ). Instead we got an hour of retarded writing so they can try to make jokes with...

    You know these videos from Asia are often people hurting the animals so they can then "save" them for clicks. Never trust as single one.

    "This crawlspace had no proper ventilation, so when water seeped into it, it had nowhere to go and air out. This left the water to sit and soak into the wood, leading to severe mold and wood rot that spread throughout the crawlspace. All the framing and any areas experiencing rot will need to be...

    Car ?'s

    While I have a polypropylene bumper and have taken it off my car numerous times, I have never done any repairs directly too it. So my research/experience on it is limited. Without verifying the materials, I would think fiberglass filler would hold up better than classic bondo, but yea (after...

    Car ?'s

    Ah yea, not too big and a cut like that is probably better than puncture for getting a quick fix to stick. If you live in an area that uses road salts, you might still want to patch it soon-ish, otherwise if that was on my car, I probably would let it go until I'm doing another project under the...

    Car ?'s

    Without seeing it, it's hard to really have an opinion on the damage itself. If it was a small cut/puncture on the underside of my car, I probably wouldn't worry about it (since it's got a bunch of scrape marks under it already). That said, I've taken the front clip off my car, and it wasn't...

    Andor

    No clue if he means that Andor will meet them, or just that they will be in the show. Saw Gerrera was already in season 1, so I would assume he will be in season 2 and may meet Andor as a go between or joint operation. My guess is Galen Eso could show up, in contacting Luthen. Bail Organa could...
