- Those aren't tanks. Those are self-propelled howitzers.
- That's not a silencer, it's a suppressor. You're still going to get a boom, just a less loud boom.
- The only way to get a round that can almost be slilenced, is to start out sub-sonic.

There are forms of anti-black discrimination in America, too. Same. Both countries are bad in that regard.

The dialogue is actually in English, it’s about a young Irish student trying to talk a demolition company into demolishing her school.

Same roles played by different actors in each film, so visually a bit confusing, but doesn’t detract from the storytelling.You see Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Juan Williams (?), and Rep. Ron Paul making appearances in those movies.

Chai Lai Angels:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00C3MMP1A/Thai version (parody?) of Charlie’s Angels.
Probably has the fiercest kidnapping victim I have ever seen.
Five angels instead of three.
Most of the Angels are very well endowed, a point that the movie also deliberately makes fun of.
Seeing that this is a Thai production, part of the fun is to try to guess which Angel may be a tranvestite. -

For those with Disney+ access, in the Marvel section there is a new series called “What If …” It’s basically half-hour episodes of alternate turns of events in the Avengers universe. Most of them are OK to silly, by Season 1 Episode 6, about Killmonger rescuing Tony Stark in Afghanistan (thus Iron Man never come to be), that episode is inspired!

Lots of interesting things about the technologies embedded in bowling balls and bawling lanes that I was previously unaware of.
E.g.:- The weights inside bowling balls are asymmetrical, and are intentionally made so in a myriad of ways
- Bowling lanes are intentionally oiled unevenly, this materially shaped modern bowling as practiced today
- Bowling ball’s surface roughness/texture and its ability to absorb the oil from the surface of the bowling lanes materially impact the path of the ball

Can we see a single photon? Short answer is “no.” While the biology of the typical human eye is sensitive enough to detect a single photon, the human visual system also cannot distinguish such single photon excitement from background noise. So these low energy excitements are filtered out and we cognitively cannot “see” a single photon.
