I remember her as the sibling/sister in one of my favourite comedies. Eurotrip is just an awesome journey poking fun at European stereotypes of the time (times have changed, but at the time it just felt spot on)

I discovered an article about my wife in a 25yo youth magazine

Guilty of the same mistake, thinking you found her contact details in an old magazine -

It does sound impressive though. Maga cultists are not known for their critical thinking edit: I know I shouldn't, but I can't help but see the Trump presidency as the forerunner to the events in the movie Idiocracy -
Not really seeing anything obviously grabbing my attention these days (and to fair, following in the footsteps of Frieren and Dandadan is no easy task), I decided to turn back the clock a bit and pick up on something I missed in the past (because of time constraints). Watched first season of Nier: Automata and about to start on second season. I liked the first season, but then I also liked the game(s). Both Replicant and Automata

Just waiting for Trump to suggest they can solve the problem with bleach… He obviously doesn’t have a clue (Im Westen nichts Neues), but people keep making the mistake of giving him free rent in their brains. It’s what he wanted. He’s first and foremost a reality tv showman and a narcissist. Any attention is good attention. As for the actual subject I suspect the Ukrainian rhetoric of borders back to pre 2014 status as well as Russian ambitions of recreating the USSR are both unrealistic. The former would require Ukrainian troops to hold a victory parade on the red square and the latter train departed the station when Gorbachev led the process of disintegration

Just a bit of fun from domestic Australian politics... I made the joke in the past that the liberal PM Scott Morrison was similar to Don Quixote because of his perpetual crusade against windmills (and any other form of alternative to fossil fuels) While he got the message, he's universally hated, his former deputy and old party have decided to switch to nuclear power. Again, anything that keeps the poor starving mining magnates in power and keeps renewable energy out of Australia! -

Death, taxes and... politics? It was inevitable I guess. Continuation here

Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u

Saw a Danish movie that I hadn't seen before. To be fair, it's relatively recent (by my standards). The style reminded me a lot of "Adams Apples" and "In China they eat Dogs". A comment said (correctly imho) the trailer doesn't do it justice (pun unintended) as it makes it look like a dime a dozen revenge movie. It's anything but "normal". It helps if you like "Nordic Noir" style movies and the sometimes over the top dark humour which were also prevalent in the first two mentioned movies. Mads Mikkelsen is almost always fun to watch. -
I don't have a link at hand, but I wonder if that matches up with the time flightradar24 lost track of the plane (which was some minutes before the crash, it disappeared and could no longer be traced) edit: https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/jeju-air-2216-muan/ "It appears that ADS-B data was either no longer sent by the aircraft or the aircraft was outside our coverage area after 23:58:50 UTC."

No idea how long it was in the air after the bird strike. I was lazy and just took the time from the pilot reporting the bird strike (8:59) to the crash (9:01) and concluded 3 minutes https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgzprprlyeo.amp Weirdest thing I do remember from the 3 videos I’ve seen is the one from the ground showing the actual bird strike also shows flaps and gear deployed, the two different angles showing it crashing both showing it having power on the damaged engine (producing thrust and thrust reverser deployed) but the supposedly undamaged engine being inactive
