Re: Cooking and puttering about the finnish countryside
Everything looks awesome. I've really liked your photos and description on how the heaters work. I tend to really enjoy old technology that works well and is cleverly thought out. I recently read up on the Franklin stove and it appears to use some of the same basic ideas as the heaters you showed bu...

Re: D&D: Honor Among Thieves
I'm not a big D & D fan or participant but these trailers look good. I am really vaguely familiar with the game from the early 1980's and this seems like it takes that into consideration. That being said. I think this film will do worse box office wise than it deservers. IMO includes stuff that ...

Re: RIP Louise Fletcher (Kai Winn)
I was always surprised and a bit thankful that she participated in DS9 to the extent that she did.
The same could be said about Andrew Robinson and Avery Brooks considering their careers prior to the show.

Re: The Sandman
I hope Netflix renews the show. Same here. I've seen a breakdown on Netflix and it looks like they will give good shows 2 series before they bail because of costs. If they are doing really well and will bring in new subscribers they might go beyond that. Anything that costs a lot and doesn't do gre...

Re: The Sandman
I wasn't going to watch this show and then I watched some YouTube reviews for the first couple of episodes that were pretty positive. Everything in this show looks great. I do think the first couple of episodes seem kind of slow but after that I really enjoyed the show. I've never read any of The Sa...

Re: Batgirl movie shelved despite near-completion.
From what I've been seeing WB gets a tax right off on canning Batgirl outright. Plus they save on not having to do the finishing touches or market it . That part I've seen speculated as being around $20 million. I've heard that some of the screenings were pretty good and maybe better than Aquaman 2 ...

Re: Biden says right to choose 'fundamental' after leaked document suggests US could allow abortion ban.
The attorney general of Arizona tweeted that a 120 year old law from when Arizona was a territory will go into effect banning abortion when the courts lift the injunction that was put in place because of Roe v. Wade. There's already a new law going into effect that allows abortion within 15 weeks fo...

Re: 2022 US Election (For FUCK'S SAKE!)
If you mean challenge wise from a Republican, that's not going to happen. However, a conservative leaning Democratic challenger in the primary where Republican PACs won't mind donating a ton of money to and the Democratic Party not minding at all if AOC is gone? Definitely. I hadn't thought of that...

NY is apparently just going to go along with the redistricing that was done by a Republican outsider. No backbone at all to try and appeal the decision. We're just taking it in stride apparently.

It'll be interesting to see if the "sure I voted for the Republican senators, but never thought their judges would actually overturn Roe" crowd actually wind up doing anything with their vote. I'm curious as to what Kavanaugh is going to do in that regard. He had stated something to the e...

2022 US Election (For FUCK'S SAKE!)
In the next US election I will be voting in a different congressional district than I have before. The likely Democratic winner has been the incumbent in a district I was in ~20 years ago when I moved to my current location. The recent Godzillamandering (I just say this because my new district is ri...

Re: Biden says right to choose 'fundamental' after leaked document suggests US could allow abortion ban.
I've seen some stuff saying that this was leaked to give the Democrats something to motivate its voters going into the midterm election. I can see that as a legit possibility. As far as Roe v Wade it has long been attacked as being bad law and clear judicial legislating from the bench by Thurgood Ma...

Re: The Suicide Squad
I might have to rewatch this as I thought it was actually going to be a lot better than it was, being directed by the same guy who did GOTG and all, I was disappointed. I think both The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker need to grow on you a bit to be fully entertaining. I'd say that both were mostly in...

Re: The Suicide Squad
Peacemaker is pretty fun as well. I'm kind of addicted to the theme song by Wig Wam. I thought it was an 80s hair metal song but apparently the band is Norwegian and the song came out in 2010 (according to the video on YouTube). Do You Want to Taste it?

Re: The Matrix Resurrections

It could potentially do away with the idea that it was humans vs. machines, at least not at the start. Some AI might have adjusted to be antagonistic to humanity after humanity...

Are they planning on having a totally Australian bespoke submarine or are they planning on tweaking one that the US or UK is currently building?

I may watch The Boys when it ends. Just to see how they try to 'sanitize how that series ended.
