Singapore is a tropical city above ground with an underground city beneath it. Great food, great people, just do not chew gum on the subway.

My obsession with the Fediverse and Linux.

Did anyone read the phrase “fed up carpenter” and immediately think the was the second coming of Christ?

So your saying a guy who has 40 years of experience in lawmaking is good at lawmaking?

Who are some people to follow on Bookwyrm?

Thanks! I was playing hide and seek with this little fella for a while and I thought I had lost him when he suddenly hopped up on this bush and I snapped a few quick shots.

Killing Nazis

Good thing I don’t have to worry about that ever happening IRL…

Creatine

I can appreciate art from any artist, but I will not patronize an artist that is trash.

“ …ways you can organize a business that makes literally impossible to legally do these things. ”

Not disputing this is true, but could you provide some examples?

As a kid I got a lot of “Do as I say not as I do.”

The lesson I learned is that a lot of grown ups are hypocrites. I saw this so much it made me decide I would always be honest with myself and others about why I was doing the things I was doing. It is not always easy, especially now that I have kids of my own, but it is much healthier in the long run. I teach my kids by example rather than preaching fake piety.

Gotta keep the devil in his hole

Which version of scooby doo? The original run of the show was very different from what it morphed into.

Next thing you know they will start running famous hollywood actors and reality TV stars for office.

I block logs.roku.com and cloudservices.roku.com on my pihole without impacting any functionality.

I particularly like the original phaser from the pilot episode The Cage but my favorite is the phaser rifle from Where No Man Has Gone Before.

Thanks for the advice I will check it out!

I went back and watched it and I see what you are saying about Furiosa and the concubines, it is a great device for setting up the chase. The chase then becomes the rest of the movie. Furiosa and Max have invincible plot armor during these chases and while I can appreciate the artistic skill in crafting these action scenes, I found sitting through them all a bit laborious.

The most interesting thing about the story to me was how Max and Furiosa went from straight up try to murder each other to becoming best buds. This happens so quickly and without a lot of explanation and to me that is a bit jarring. It seems to me the reason they dont spend more time on it is that the chase has already begun. And this to me is what keeps me from loving this this movie, they compromise on story in favor of chase and action scenes. While there is a lot to love about this movie, it is still not my favorite Mad Max movie.

That’s fair, I may have been overly dismissive with the plot, maybe I need to go back and give it a second look.

My understanding is that attacks like this force deployment of air defences to population centers rather than protecting military targets. So no direct military benefit, but it can help shape the battlefield.
