A 2nd one. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/chinese-balloon-cause-civilian-injuries-deaths-rcna69052

So series has been rolling out. Gotta say I like the original Trigun better so far but I'm going to treat this like it's own thing. Spoilers below this point There is no Milly. At least not yet. Instead, there's a drunk guy. He's not too interesting. Easy going, down to Earth and constantly drinks. Pretty typical really. Also him and Meryl are reporters. Meryl is...fine I guess. I would rather not use this word but she's less tsunadre and she kinda plays into the reporter trope. Vash's character doesn't seem as principled. He's still a pacifist but he showed zero fucks about killing a sandworm. When Meryl finds him, he's trapped hanging upside down so kinda like the original. She was never skeptical of Vash's identity. In this series, he tries harder to not fight at all instead of going to his gun to save the day. By the way, the gun looks a bit different now. Not a complaint, just an observation. I'm sure you've noticed in the trailers that Vash's arm is different. I liked it better when people couldn't tell it was a prosthetic but whatever. Not sure if it transforms into a gun but if it doesn't, that would defeat the purpose of the series name. Wolfwood shows up and he plays the "You're too trusting, I could have killed you" trope. Just really lays it on thick. His weapon got an upgrade. It now shoots a laser instead of the rocket. He's was very protective and secretive about his weapon before using it in a fight. It's debut was showy and over the top. He sucks as a priest but that could be an act. Knives shows up very early on. He wears a robe of lost technology that can turn into small robots. I suspect he could turn it into anything because him and Vash are plants and plants create matter. Unlike the original series, he's very hands on. He'll waltz up to Vash himself instead of just sending baddies at him. Much to my disdain, he played an organ. Ugggghhhhhhh. Knifes shows up during the Nebraska Family event. The son of the family is more or less human size now about they had a change of heart after some events. This is the episode where you know you're really watching something different. People start getting dismembered and they have the classic 90's Ninja Anime pressurized blood thing going on.

Haven't heard this in a while but conspiracy theorist were accusing Biden of cozying up with the Chinese government. He was alluding that that in a very weird way.

Yeah, because he's fully cooperating. Trump was given months to turn over the documents before a warrant was issued. That's way more leeway than they would have given anybody else. We would have never heard about it if he cooperated. Even after the "raid", Trump lied and said all the documents were handed over. Then he claimed they were planted. Then he claimed they were his. He claimed that they're a "keep keepsake." We have one person kicking a screaming going "NO, THEY'RE MINE. YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM." and then we have another person going, "Ooops, mybad. Go ahead and take them back." So yeah, you don't have a gotcha with this false equivalence.

Implying that she doesn't try to eat the cream.

Call me when he intentionally hides documents or claims they're his private property when he refuses to relinquish them.

Do they know they're a couple of days late? Sheesh, can't even be punctual.

Look everybody, more Russian propaganda.

There's a classic video of somebody getting pulled in and getting saved by his helmet.

I don't like him or Nabs but I'm not going to resort to flaming either. I'm also not going to do what Nabs does and reply with a clown. When I have an issue with that they say, I try to stay civil. Maybe put in a snarky or sarcastic comment or two.

Obviously flaming isn't working. That's not going to change his opinion. If you have to reply at all, might as well make a actual counterpoint or bring forth new information. I recall you flaming me at one point. What's your excuse for that? Am I a NAZI apologists ?

I disapprove of Ginguys posts as much as the next guy but flaming and telling people to shut up is not helpful nor is it how we should behave. I'm sure you're going to have choice words for me but I'm prepared for that.

With my remembering that this is a thing, I decided to play around with it today. Looks like they upgraded the site quite a bit since I've last messed with it. You can now compose music and play it automatically. Or you use it for practice. There's a guide that teaches you how to write music for the piano. There is now a catalog of music sheets on the site and there's a "Play it now" option that injects the sheet into the piano. You can either autoplay the song or learn how to play it. It's pretty great. It may also assist me with my real keyboard as I'm not proficient in reading music. Bad habits, I know but it's my choice. Link for the lazy.

Good movie but the scenes just ran on for way too long.

Difficult boogers. You know, like the ones that you can feel way up in your nose. Giving best efforts to blow it out as it reminds one of it's presence with every breath. The noise, the feel. Mocking you as your feeble attempts to rid it only makes it stronger.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly was always one of those films that I dismissed thinking it was just a typical western. I'm planning on picking it up at the mall now that I've seen RLM's review of it.

Do you know how we can avoid accidents like this? Putin calling off the war. I suspect Ukraine would fire fewer missiles if Russia would stop bombarding them.

Just move to Russia already. While you're there, maybe you can enlist in their military who have attacked innocent civilians including women and children. Maybe Putin will pick you as his best bud. There is one far right battalion. That's it. It is in no way representative of the whole of Ukraine just like how the KKK don't represent the U.S. Why in the actual fuck do you keep defending Russia? Don't tell me that you're not because you fucking are. Just not directly.

Got something even better.

So when Trump had Covid, it was reported that he wanted to wear a Superman shirt under his dress shirt and expose it to the public upon walking outside.

Simps. I achieved this by plugging a power strip into itself.
