    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Regardless of whether or not that is true, that fucking article is indicative of why we have already failed as a society. Is that what we consider hard-hitting reporting? Hey, let's quote a bunch of fucking retards on Twitter's responses! Fuck me, I want to shoot every fucking person...

    Must Have Software

    Since you're asking for a program name and not sites, qbittorent or deluge are sort of the most popular that I'm aware of. I messed with q a bit ago and it was fine, but I have a seedbox with rtorrent so I don't really use them manually anymore. From what I've seen, rtorrent/rutorrent are not...

    I read the first book of Path of Ascension, and it was decent. Not a ton of moments that had me worrying for anyone's safety, but the characters are FAR more entertaining and relatable than most books in this genre. The next book comes out on KU next month, so I'll definitely pick it up. They...

    I was without any of these lists for a bit and needed something to read a few days ago, so I got the 3 currently available books of the Rise of the Winter Wolf series by Shane Purdy. Utter shit. Don't waste your time. Yes, I read all 3, but that's so you don't have to. The main character...

    What book would you like to see adapted to Movies or TV?

    I'm assuming they are two different books, but your suggestion made me think that Red Storm Rising would also be a fantastic show. It would cost a fuckload though.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Togo's is still the best sandwich around, but like everything else the price has gotten ridiculous. I used to go once a week for years, and now I haven't been there in a few years. A 6" #9 (Pastrami) is now $11 by itself. Fuck that. Raley's will make me a 12" for $14, and it is arguably...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    Yeah I was going to say, Frazetta was a lot earlier. All the Barsoom books by Edgar Rice Burroughs had some amazing covers, in like 1970. I have a bunch of the hardcovers with these jackets in a box somewhere.

    So I read all of Unbound and Primal Hunter that is available on KU, and the latest HWFWM. Unbound is pretty good, and I don't hate the main character as much as some other series, but what is it with all these series requiring people to sit and contemplate shit?? Don't get me wrong, Unbound at...

    Those lists are also bullshit because "best in state" just means it is likely way too fucking far away. I'm not driving from Sacramento to Los Angeles to try some weird looking pizza. And I'm sure Texas and plenty of other states feel exactly the same way.

    The Netflix Thread

    Ha, yeah if I had that level of upload I wouldn't care either. I'm stuck with one provider, at 20 up. Blech. I do have multiple versions (4K, 1080p, etc.) of stuff specifically for that reason, but I was just trying to figure out how you didn't have to worry about transcoding unless you had...

    Do you have gig upload speed or something? I download mostly 4K remux for myself, and it works great internally because there is no transcoding, but I literally can't send that to people outside of my network due to my upload speed. And even my spare computer (which is several years old, but...

    I'm not @spronk , but I have a similar setup using a Synology NAS. I use the Western Digital drives that are touted as being good for NAS, can't remember the fucking color though? Red maybe? I actually have two different NAS, both 8-bay, one of them with 2x the 5-bay expansions too, so a...

    3 Body Problem

    That's kind of the whole point of the Dark Forest though. No one knows what anyone else is capable of, much less what they will be capable of. Even if they somehow knew you were locked up on your own planet right now, by the time someone could get to you, you could have had massive...

    The Crow

    As I was reading through the replies, I was thinking about linking this exact clip the whole time. It has been years since I watched the movie, and while I remember parts of it overall, this is the line that I'll never forget and comes instantly to mind whenever The Crow is brought up.

    Babylon (2022)

    Liar liar, pants on fire! So some friends have a tradition where they go to the movies every Christmas, including any friends they want to invite, and when their dad was alive he never allowed anyone to buy their own ticket, he always paid. They've continued the tradition, and thus I never...

    Black Adam (2021)

    I could be in the minority on this one, but one of my favorite Rock movies is Faster. His mood in that movie ranges from pissed off to super pissed off. That's it. And it is glorious. I think it was just that this wasn't a very good movie, and had peripheral characters that no one gives a...

    Printer suggestions

    Well, Mr. Amazon has made yet another sale. You should get a commission. I was literally just talking about how I needed to print something while on vacation, and I had to come into work at night to do it (I'm closer to work than any printing place even if it were free). And how I used to...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    You obviously read what I wrote, since your first line addresses it. But then you go beyond that and assume something I didn't say. I never "fell for that SJW propoganda" because if I had, I would have said he was dreaming of diddling kids, not dreaming of making jokes about diddling kids...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Damn, now I'm not sure how to feel about Harcourt. She presses like every single button for me and I find her outrageously hot, far more than she should probably rate. I don't hate Gunn or anything, but to know he's probably banging her while thinking about making kiddy diddling jokes is too...

    Warhammer 40k

    Even if any of that is remotely true, which I don't really believe it is, the women that drool all over him aren't going to give a shit, and the guys like us are just going to like him more. They even tried canceling him over his comments about not wanting to date because he'll just get...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    Hmmmmm. Now I wonder if IMAX was in high framerate too. That would have definitely factored into my "too clean" thoughts, as soap opera effect drives me fucking nuts, and while the 3D might have masked it somewhat, I know it looked off to me. Now I gotta see if I can find out. That would...

    What do you guys listen to or watch while working out?

    Since Lanx mentioned True Crime, I'm a big fan of the YT channel That Chapter. He talks about a lot of TC stuff, the most recent being everything known about the Moscow, Idaho killings. That's actually a bit out of the ordinary for what he does, as he normally does stories that are "finished"...

    This wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but if work hadn't filled me with food and drinks and bought the tickets, I'd have been less generous with my thoughts about it. Since everyone is talking about the visuals and knows that the story is basically terrible, I was a little disappointed...

    Nice! I posted a bit back this year that I bought my first ever 9.8, and it was Thor 337 because Beta Ray Bill is my fucking boy! That's worth a good chunk of change by itself. I also have two other copies of it that will never get a 9.8...unless somehow they get cleaned and press properly...

    Speaking of prolific writers, just finished Defiance of the Fall 7, and I see that there are another fucking 300 chapters on RR/Patreon, which should be about another 3 books. He writes a chapter about every day it seems. Fuck me. Granted, a lot of it is pretty repetitive or boring or...
