  1. I was wondering at what point the French were going to start threatening to send LeClercs. They aren’t ideal, but they are diesel, NATO round capable, and better than T-72s.
  2. I like my coffee like my Gen X heart: Dark and Bitter.
  3. I went to High School with one of his kids. I have a french press, moka pot, and a aero press, but 95% of the time, I use a Mr. Coffee drip. My wife is from the Pacific NW and likes her coffee hair on your titties strong. So I just make the coffee as strong as humanly possible, with good dark roast beans. I'm a mesh filter guy because I like the oils. If you aren't vibrating and about to shit your pants halfway through your second cup, I haven't done my job right. Use a Thermos, prewarmed, to hold the coffee after the pot is brewed. Never had a complaint and most people make a point of asking if I'm making coffee when they crash at Castle Bates for the night.
  4. I had a PFOS/PFAS chemist once describe our use of the chemical as we live in a bathtub with the plug in, and it just continues to build up in our environment.
  5. Well we wouldn't have to force Thomas or Alito actively lie to somebody's face now? That would damage the integrity and august history of the court.
  6. It was definitely one or the other. Can't have Kav going squishy now.
  7. In a shocker, It looks like Roberts didn't feel like calling out Thomas (or more likely Ginny) for leaking the Dobbs decision https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/politics/supreme-court-dobbs-report-leak/index.html
  8. The Bee has had exactly 1 good headline: https://babylonbee.com/news/loud-cheering-heard-from-lockheed-martin-board-room
  9. I realized today this may have to do with the Administration's domestic manufacturing and trade protection policies more than it has to do with the war itself. The German's are nothing, if not ruthless export driven capitalists.
  10. https://slate.com/culture/2023/01/velma-mindy-kaling-hbo-max-review.html
  11. I don’t think we have an objection to providing Abrams, it’s just that with their fuel usuage, it’s problematic for the the Ukrainians. I know the M1A2s are being retrofitted with an auxiliary power unit that will save lot of fuel, but I don’t know ho far long that process is. It’s just sorta stupid to tie the export of Abrams to the Leopards, because the Abrams are so much harder for the Ukrainians to use effectively. It fixes the heavy armor problem while creating a logistics nightmare for Ukraine. Basically, the Leopards are ready to go now. The Germans are still trying to have their cake and eat it too with the Russians.
  12. Srsly, you game nerds fucking control yourselves. If you aren’t sure, spoiler that shit. Im rewatching it tonight
  13. I will agree that kids will watch anything and not GAF. The amount of total trash direct to dvd/streaming content for children is unbelievable. Just unwatchable dreck and littles will eat that shit up.
  14. DC’s traffic issues are 3 fold: 1. DC it self has very few freeways running through the city. That’s both a good and bad thing: the cities has very distinct urban neighborhoods, and that’s cool. But literally everything is side streets to get anywhere. The traffic circles designed my L’Enfant make it even worse. 2. VA is really where the growth is and there aren’t nearly enough bridges across the Potomac. 5 total. PDX is half the size and has like a dozen. 4. MD has a strong anti growth movement and its side of the DMV is in desperate need of more road and transit construction. Toss in the fact that 95 between DC and Fredericksburg is probably the worst stretch on that highway on the Eastern Seaboard. Just a hot mess all around.
  15. In DC, pre-Covid, it routinely took me 50-60 minutes to drive 8 miles.
  16. @henrygandorfThat’s my point: I don’t personally find her a lead. If she’s got the financing to showrun herself, good for her, but it doesn’t change the fact, imho, she’s not a particularly compelling star. Not bad, just not must see either. The Mindy Project is hit or miss. As you point out, she works a lot, so I guess that’s to be expected, but I think her strength is behind the camera.
  17. @henrygandorfNever have I ever is fucking excellent. Very, very funny.
  18. I haven’t watched the cowboys all season, except here and there on Red Zone. Is this their normal bit? How did y’all win 12 games?
  19. This. Harley Quinn is the gold standard of reimagining a well known and beloved universe in a hilarious, innovative way. It’s worth it Lake Bell’s Poison Ivy alone. She has some next tier cursing rants. The violence is first rate, the female characters are hot, the story lines clever AF. Kaley Chico voices Harley and is the executive producer, which is the inverse of our current debate: I don’t find her live acting to be particularly compelling, but that’s mostly because Big Bang Theory is a meh show for dumb people to feel smart. Maybe that’s what Kaling was going for here, but it sounds like it didn’t land. I’ve already got too much to stream and I don’t give a fuck enough about Scooby Doo to put this in the que, unless it were getting Andor level reviews.
  20. I’m not sure I 100% agree with your police work there, Lou. She probably had the single best line in This Is The End. I don’t hate Rogan, he just needs to be used in an ensemble cast. Knocked Up and Pineapple Express both had about 50% too much Rogan.
