Yeah from a special effects perspective it was cool. I wonder how many gallons of “blood” they used

The final attack is ramming into the enemy doing massive damage and then the ship sinks fading out of the battle

Just smile and wave to Igor and Dimitry when you see them from across the border. They are all they can spare and I’m sure they’re happy with their assignment away from the combat of Ukraine

“Oh no I eat garbage and rarely do physical activity why oh why do I hurt when I do even the smallest things?” - Me, before I started getting out and doing things.

A guarantee of deploying to europe would be great for military retention! Everyone is tired of fighting forever wars in the desert

What happened that time?

Easy there Volgin

Good I try to avoid buying their stuff when I can

I listened to a podcast (99 Percent Invisible I think) and it said a big reason why the 90s were so great for movies were the creation of cinaplexes, big movie theaters with tons of screens.

More screens meant that new or different ideas that wouldn’t normally make it to the big screen (Forrest Gump, Fight Club, The Matrix etc) were given a chance, and found an audience.

Now everything is played safe. Hollywood doesn’t want new franchises because they are deemed too risky, and the names we know and love are running out of ideas and passion and risk ruining the whole thing.

Not so much of the physical building, but I bet the designing isn’t too big of a stretch. Think something like procedural generation to make 2/3 of a floor plan and have humans make sure it makes sense and add details.

Yup, many shows just milk themselves to death.

(guys they mean the sudden changes in road quality)

Arma players are more at home with km than miles because they never leave the basement to use it irl

That’s not what I’m saying. He had a pretty good “why” for having easy access to weapons until he was checked into a mental institution. If he was a danger to himself or others I bet they could have prevented him from getting weapons. I’m interested to see why they chose not to or how their attempts failed.

I admit it was a deviation from the subject and might have been confusing. Every time this guy’s background is brought up people tend to think military training is some forbidden knowledge that citizens don’t have access to, which isn’t the case at all.

Go anyway, the western US is beautiful.

Yup. I used to be a vol firefighter. If your response time for any emergency service is under 5min you’re very lucky. But often even that isn’t enough. You need the tools and skills to do what you can until help arrives. Fire prevention, medical and self/fam defense. Until they get there it is up to you, and many people don’t realize that.

Sounds like a legal nightmare

Extensive firearms training is a bit of a stretch. Yes combat jobs get plenty of range time, but many only get a basic refreshers as needed (before deployment)

But yes military bases are pretty strict compared to outside the fence
