    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...

    The Fast Food Thread

    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...

    Now just imagine it's a bull with horns instead.

    The Netflix Thread

    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...

    The Killer

    Show us what your autistic supercomputer AI looks like that scours the internet for every single mention of the word "dog" so you can post it in the vain hope that one day we'll all laugh along with you instead of at you.

    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...

    Does this mean we'll finally get anti-gravity??? Let me save you some time. EDIT: Ok, now I kinda want to find out who this hottie sign-language chick is. So I guess thanks for making me look up a bullshit gif? EDIT EDIT: Cheyenna Clearbrook. Not as cute now. <Internet Stalking +1>

    Yeah, I watched Deus specifically because of her. She still looks damn good for her age. Too bad the movie sucked.

    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...
