  1. I actually just bought and sold a vacant lot in the middle of nowhere. I dabble in real estate investment but lately it's been absolutely crazy.
  2. Now I'm curious if there are any reports of a good guy with a gun accidentally killing someone. Other than cops because I know that's happened. CO just passed a law making it mandatory to report a lost or stolen gun.
  3. Now I want to go fire up an emulator and play Countdown to Doomsday
  4. I believe they are using the Mandarin, the real one this time (and also trying to tone down the more problematic stuff), in place of Fu Manchu but I'm also not very knowledgeable on Shang-Chi
  5. Yep, the plan was for her to have that role but she was supposedly not all that interested. I read somewhere that they kept reducing the role to try to make it work for her but in the end they just gave up and went with someone else (Visitor) playing a new character (Kira). Another interesting casting story was that they originally wanted Famke Janssen for Dax and even though she ultimately turned the role down they ended up using her spots from The Perfect Mate in the Trill redesign.
  6. Watched a show called the Baker and the Beauty on Netflix. It's light standard rom-com fare if you're into to that and if you're not then it's an easy skip. We've also been slowly making our way through Better than Us which is also on Netflix. It's a Russian show about robots that's really, really heavy on the drama.
  7. Standard checkups are normally included in your premiums. In my own experience, I've been told to be careful what you say because it can cross what's covered. Anyways, my previous post about this is gone but everyone that I've known who has gotten some kind of mental health diagnosis has specifically asked to be referred or had their parents do the same. I've heard, from a friend that's a psych doc, that your GP is unlikely to refer you or even suggest such without you asking.
  8. Falcon and Winter Söldner. Finally all caught up. I feel like Marvel always makes sure to make revolutionary villains do something irredeemably evil to undercut them.
  9. Yeah, here you generally have to seek out any mental health help on your own. Your normal doctor isn't likely to try to diagnose you or even refer you unless you ask for it or are in such bad shape that it's obvious and unignorable in the 15 to 20 or so minutes that they are with you. Still, I dunno if that chart it accurate but it's believable.
  10. Found out about the FedEx shooting when I was checking the status of my delivery. That's a terrible first.
  11. Solasta official release is May 27th. I haven't bothered with the early access as I've been waiting for the full release
  12. You made it further than I did. I was done after the first episode. We watched Legally Blonde on Netflix. My wife hadn't seen it in a long time and I hadn't either but had fond memories for some reason. I still like it way too much.
  13. Denver cases are up 27% and hospitalization is up 100% but the mayor announced the end of outdoor mask mandate and gyms and restaurants can go back up to 100% capacity.
  14. I'm coming around to the idea of them just patching and moving on. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the game my first playthrough but much less so on subsequent ones. The reason for me is that the systems aren't complex or interesting enough to keep me engaged and I'm not sure that more content, even though I don't mind it, is the answer.
  15. Regarding the Soviet Union, I have several In-laws that miss a lot of things about the old the old days. If I had to describe the biggest difference I see between them and what I see with most Americans is that they don't think they're all millionaires in waiting and would rather trade a a higher ceiling for a higher floor, if that makes sense.
  16. It was built in 1967. I'll check it out tomorrow and see what's what. Last time I think the problem was a light in master bathroom or something similar. I had to call an electrician and he replaced some stuff in the electrical box
  17. Did anyone else get very specific instructions on what to do when you get pulled over by cops in school? They told us to do what the Army guy did and pull over in a well lit area if possible. They also told us to put our license, registration, and insurance on the dash so that we don't have to reach for anything and also to turn on the interior lights and put all the windows down.
  18. I think I need to find an electrician. The outlets where my microwave plugs in have stopped working and we've had some weird issues with various outlets before. Old house problems I'm guessing but I hope it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg as I'm starting to run low on those. I never even realized how much I use the microwave until I've had to heat something up on the stove or in the oven for while. I also find myself wondering if I'm really hungry enough to put forth that much effort.
  19. I read that the cop who pepper sprayed and threatened the Army LT in VA got fired. That's something, right?
  20. Will Smith movie 'Emancipation' abandons Georgia over voting restrictions Was wondering when this was going to happen considering how much gets filmed there nowadays
  21. Seaspiracy: Netflix documentary accused of misrepresentation by participants. NGOs and experts quoted in film say it contains ‘misleading’ claims, erroneous statistics and out-of-context interviews Obviously there are problems with fishing and how we treat the ocean in general but be warned before you watch this type of thing.
  22. U.S. Church Membership Falls Below Majority for First Time and now for something completely different
  23. I just wanted to see a movie where the superhero's "powers" were faith and prayer as opposed to traditional superhero powers. I'm also curious as to how it would play out because most Christian movies I've seen are beyond insultingly terrible. I also feel like religion really needs a win right now.
