She's not a real woman.

@LuFins-Dad said in Holy Crap - Drive-in Theater:

My mistake... The tickets are for the car, so you buy 1 $40 ticket, then you pay admission for the people at $5, so the total is $60...

I bet they get a lot of confusion about that.

I saw the same thing as you, I was thinking one ticket per person.

@Aqua-Letifer said in "News of the World":

Movie feels very "Tom Hanksy" to me. The Director had previously worked with Hanks on "Captain Phillips," which is perhaps why. Anyway, yeah, I'll see it.

As a side note, can you freaking believe this movie is being made? By Hollywood in 2020? It's basically about a white male saving a white girl from the Indian savages.

19th century Hollywood was savage.

Don’t worry, it will be nothing if not woke.

Those who prioritize righteousness tend to be an unholy mix of real sociopaths, who know exactly what they are prioritizing, and normal people who lack the self awareness to know that they are only prioritizing their social status. Their value as a friend and as a friender.

The main problem with a taser is that you use it just like your pistol. It is hard to have a pistol in one hand and a taser in the other. When a guy is closing in on you and your taser you are probably wishing you had your gun instead.

@Larry said in Tonight On Tucker:

A Senate panel investigating this matter has confirmed that everything the: guy told Tucker is true.

It must take a special kind of naïveté to believe that the Senate can work that fast.

You fit the description of the populace that, to quote Mik, “do not understand what they are voting for on even a rudimentary level.”

Got your ass handed to you pretty quickly on this one, Ax..

The Bidens were involved in business deals with Chinese communist government spies. One of which was already under investigation by the FBI. Three of their business partners are in prison. I would say the naive one is you, except the evidence refutes you so strongly it has to be sheer stupidity on your part.

@Jolly said in Rain:

Ain't got enough to worry about. Even New Orleans shouldn't get but about four inches.

Hell, that’s just a good summer storm.

@Rainman 555 😁

THis would be very good if it were worldwide, though price could be an issue for a lot of people. I know that there was an earlier forum thread about internet speeds. I typically get 3-4 Mbs download and little less than 1 upload.

Having said that, most of the time, those speeds are "okay". However, video calls with lots of people can be bad, and sometimes trying to log in to remote computers to access their speeds does not work.

I am a bit left side of center (but I dont think too far LOL), and my answer would be (probably) #3, depending on the third party and what they stood for.

538's 'snake chart' now has Georgia leaning Biden, estimating 54% chance that George's electoral votes will go to Biden. Not sure how long that will last.

Ohio was also leaning Biden for a while, but now leans Trump.

The firefighters have managed to persuade us

In fact, if you look at that list, it's the firefighter SUPERVISORS that are in more danger.

The comments at the end of the article mentioned the Wiesel 2 as a possible companion vehicle. Maybe.

It is currently in production and is helicopter transportable. It would give some direct heavy fire support. But its top speed is only 40+mph.

On a side note, we are having a devil of a time getting blood and blood products because of COVID.

It is interesting. The US is very strict on who can donate blood. For example, I am unable to donate in the US because I have been in Thailand within the past 1 year.

Okay, I can understand that, but people donate blood in Thailand all the time LOL

In the US, I believe that they are concerned about malaria. I would think that Thailand would have some sort of screening for that? Hmmm

@Klaus said in Yuge here too:

Why does this take so long?

I've never waited for more than 60 seconds in any election I've participated in.

It's New York. They're probably all queueing in their cars, honking and screaming and shooting guns in the air and stuff.

Actually relatively recent for that ancient part of the world. Still very cool.

I believe I had heard of that tunnel from the series Knightfall.

Well, I have trip insurance.

I hate to think what GK was Googling to stumble upon that one.
