2·4 hours agoPicked up the 2 newest albums by Tinsley Ellis, turns out, these acoustic records are COMPLETELY different from everything he did before, notably playing electric but also with a full band.

Self posts are not allowed and anything involving Diana is WELL outside the “last 30 days” requirement here.
Bad time to point out that Lennon, Ghandi, MLK, and Harvey Milk were all assassinated?
Not sure who Anna represents… Politkovskaya? Murdered.
If you’re going to include pack ins like Wii Sports then Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper smoke everything…

2·2 days agoIt is broken into parts so you can watch it in episodes like a TV show.
The OG cut was universally hated, the Snyder cut is actually pretty acceptable. Other than being 4 hours long.
Looks similar to the packaged gyro strips I buy, but you need more than one for a gyro.

31·2 days agoFor what it’s worth, I’m in the US Amazon app on Android and it states “96 customer reviews”.
Once I unchecked the box requiring verified purchases, it does in fact show 96 reviews.
I guess, first “define old”.
Blazing Saddles? 1974?
I think your math is confusing people here:
“Dieselgate cars emitted 40x the legal amount.”
40x the legal amount FOR DIESEL.
“roughly that means a dieselgate vehicle emitted 400x the NO2 of a gasoline car.”
You’re arguing that the legal amount for diesel is 10x that of a gasoline car, and by exceeding that 40x, they are more or less 400x a single gasoline car.
Now I don’t know if any of that is actually TRUE or not, I’m seeing a lot of the weaselly “up to 40x”, not that it was ACTUALLY 40X. It might have been 25x on average, we don’t really know. Still awful.
But the piece you’re missing is that dieselgate didn’t impact ALL diesel vehicles, it was specific to Volkswagen group. So only VW and Audi, and even then, only the TDI models.
9·4 days agoRead what he actually said which is a line by line lift from Pulp Fiction. He’s too stupid to realize it’s from Pulp Fiction.
Whether or not it’s CSAR 25:17 is not relevant, the original source is, in fact, Pulp Fiction.
34·4 days agoMinority Report. Spoilers for a 24 year old movie…
Tom Cruise plays the head of a super secret security division. Things go sideways and he ends up being a wanted man in this ultra futuristic society that has eyeball scanners everywhere.
One of the first things he does is get an eyeball replacement so they can’t find him immediately. He gets caught ANYWAY and thrown in prison.
Then he gets broken out because someone kept his original eyeballs which still had the security credentials to allow them to open the prison. 🤔
Sorry, if I get fired from a gig, my security credentials are null and void. Doubly so if I get arrested and thrown in prison.
He literally did.

and here:
Hegseth’s quote:
"“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” Hegseth said.
"Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.
“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen,” he added."
The line from Pulp Fiction which is not actually in the bible:
" “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.
“And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”"
The ACTUAL Ezekiel 25:17 reads:
“17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”
The additions Hegseth made were completely written for Pulp Fiction, he’s just that stupid.
