    Moonfall (2022)

    I believe that was the scenario in Seveneves - I think they talked about complete sterilization of the planet. But the ocean did remain as a liquid so it seems like at least marine microbes would survive. Animal life seems less likely.

    The Prepper Thread

    Looking into a manual switch to connect a generator to our pump. Like most (all?) its hard wired to a 220V circuit in the pumphouse, so if the SHTF for long enough we need to fire up the pump, I'd have to work with wires. Which is fine except these things usually happen in the middle of the...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    I was predisposed to hate this but cant really find anything to hate in the trailer. That looked surprisingly good.

    If you live in a place where they can turn your water off you're already fucked. Probably still time to leave, though.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Lived on a goat farm as a child. From what I remember they spend more time outside their fences than in. These pigs, my kids accidentally left the gate open the other day so they escaped. But they only went about 10 feet, and came running as soon as they saw us, ran right back into the pen...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    After raising chickens and gardens for many years we decided to move up to the next level. We're fencing an acre of pasture and raising some Idaho Pasture Pigs. Currently we're keeping them in the remains of the garden while we have the fence built. I underestimated how cute the little fuckers...

    Wheel of Time

    UNLESS, that is, there is a plucky young girl with a knife around. then they may freely ignore the white walkers and carry on with political bickering

    Loki

    I think youre being too critical of the love story plot. If he's doing everything for himself how is he a simp? I think its got more depth and humor to it than you're giving it credit for. The show painted a tragic story of Loki's life. Always the betrayer and as a result forever alone, and...

    Wheel of Time

    Saw the trailer on TV last night. I was pleasantly surprised by parts. While Lan's casting remains odd, he looked better in action. Moraine looks good. But goddam, the fugly black chick is just so jarring. Ghetto Starfire jarring. Not sure who thats supposed to be, and doesnt really matter...

    Moonfall (2022)

    absolutely better as a series than a movie. because theres no way theyre gonna make the garbage second part into something watchable. And as a series, we'd be able to wisely stop watching as soon as they reach the time jump. with my luck they'll make the movie entirely about the second part and...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    yeah, Hispanics do this all the time, I just give them a pass cause I figure they actually speak spanish so the accent doesnt seem fake to me, just deliberate. don't tell me you're one of those NJ/NY Italians who says mootzarel instead of motzarella!

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    yeah in principle they should save time, because of the idiots who wait til they get to the speaker to start thinking about what they want to order. the problem is these same idiots are now in charge of deciding who goes first when we merge. Its not complicated, its waiting in line then...

    The Wonder Years

    Wait, this is real? I legitimately thought this was a joke about how they raceswap everything and ruin every reboot. this fuckin timeline

    What If...?

    I hear what youre saying but it was also a wartime story where the enemies were literal Nazis. I think the standard is a little different in this setting. Allied bullets killed Nazis just as dead as Captain Carters actions. I'm pretty sure Captain America didnt refrain from lethal force during...

    I wonder if this will stick close to the source material or wander off into woke nonsense. If only there were some way to know ahead of time

    What If...?

    I dont get how the Ravagers abducting black panther instead of starlord made Thanos into a D-list nobody with apparently no powers who can get bitchslapped by the Children of Thanos. I mean, in the prime timeline they're his followers, he presumably was powerful enough to either defeat or...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, its a little hard to wrap my head around trusting this person with everything in your life - finances, kids, home - but drawing the line at some trivial detail like phone messages or emails. My wife can get into my emails anytime, and I don't keep my phone locked because I'm not an...

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    It was pretty fun, but so dumb it has to qualify as a guilty pleasure if you enjoy it. Too much language and violence for kids, too dumb for most adults to enjoy. I watched the whole thing which is more than I can say for Captain Marvel or Black Panther. One thing I'll add, I'm over the...

    WandaVision

    I thought it was great and the kids loved it, by far our favorite of MCU shows. First MCU show that I've rewatched some episodes. Sets up the upcoming movies more directly than the previous shows as far as I can tell.

    WandaVision

    Do yourself a favor and skip it. Wandavision was good. Falcon was just bad TV. My kids recently fell in love with the MCU and have binge watched every MCU movie and show.... they've even rewatched several... They never bothered finishing Falcon and asked me to just tell them how it ended.

    Dune (2020)

    Whats the problem? Do you people not visualize characters while reading or something? Not one single Fremen is ever described as anything resembling African. I get why the blue haired SJWs defend this. I don't get why you guys do. This shit is not subtle. The red haired love interest of the...

    Dune (2020)

    What the fuck people. The problem with this casting choice has nothing to do with Chani's role (which is solely as Paul's love interest, nothing more) It definitely has nothing to do with her acting skills. "acting skills". Who gives an actual fuck, "acting skills" is the kind of shit blue...

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

    fml, the guy claims he has ufo footage but when I click the video what I see is deer browsing in his backyard and the guy talking on camera. For like Ten Goddam Minutes. when the boogaloo comes I think I'm gonna forget about all the politics stuff and just go for YouTube. The people running...

    Loki

    I know, but they still failed to set up his motivation. Not surprising since they introduce him in the same scene where they killed him off. Hi I'm the being in charge of the Multiverse and I fought a huge battle to win this throne but the minute you first see me I'm busy trying to give it...

    Loki

    I agree completely. While I like the ending overall and the way it sets up the multiverse stuff, Kangs motivations make no sense. I get that he would consider his revelations a good strategy to protect him. But once it became clear Sylvie wasnt having it, what then? he just gives up? So what if...

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    My experience is with coding for bioinformatics, not software design. But in my experience this statement is absolutely true. Its not even viewed as laziness much of the time. They just say "why reinvent the wheel?" and install a complex third party library or module instead of taking the time...

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

    This Its actually a good move. It takes a large fraction of the people inclined to believe conspiracy theories out of the equation. While the UFO enthusiasts are busy beating themselves off to the latest grainy camera artifacts, they arent digging into other shady operations by the government...

    Loki

    Great episode, hands down the best MCU show. That was a magic user battle, done right. Not just slinging balls of light at each other like Wandavision, but fighting with illusion and enchantment. I missed frog thor in a bottle, thats funny shit.
