I’m with you—really solid movie. I just can’t figure out if that Pryr character—you know, that young exchange student they featured—was actually a real person or if the writers just cooked him up for the plot.
Hey, Tom, any chance you could get those planters moved from the entrance at Berkshire Hathaway? I mean, do we really have to wait for some old guy to trip over them or something? Plus, they’re just cluttering up the walkway—not exactly great for the flow of people coming and going.🙂
I mean, Indianapolis is a pretty decent comparison—just a city falling apart at the seams. Besides, we’ve got people from Indianapolis running this place, or at least they’re certainly trying to.
I don't know, but I suspect those power plants in New York City might still be capable of running on fuel oil or some kind of heavy crude. Whether they’re actually firing them up right now, who knows—but come winter, they might have to—because relying solely on natural gas is always going to be a bit of a gamble when things get cold.
Those planters right at the entrance to the office building are what get me the most. I actually bumped right into one while heading out of the building earlier—honestly, I don’t know what they’re thinking, just waiting for some poor elderly person to trip and break a hip right there. I tried looking them up on Google to see what the deal was, but the page wouldn't even refresh. Is it actually possible they've somehow rigged the local Google results so nothing lower than a three-star rating ever shows up?

I mean, where's the assumption that they have to build these things out of old, broken parts? At the end of the day, it’s hard to argue this is worse than a fleet of neglected semi-trucks— plus, it's definitely greener.
First off, we desperately need some new brakes—they’re practically squealing constantly. To actually link Manhattan with NZG, we really ought to see some decent tracks installed, though maybe just letting that absolute nightmare of a stretch near the rural areas and the outskirts relax would be better. I mean, could Eric Adams at least manage an underground subway line out to the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge—or even further toward those outer reaches? Maybe extend that Fallerov plan a bit further and finally sort out the 109 and its messy counterparts once and for all.
I mean, if they’re seriously short on trucks, why not just engineer some trash-hauling streetcars? Since they aren't going to budge on those overnight pickups anyway—it's like trying to stop a freight train with a toothpick.
I mean, they don't necessarily need to be briefed on every little detail—but if you ask me, they’re far too wrapped up in their own pride to actually listen to a decent suggestion, much like what was mentioned in the post above. It's just how they operate.
Street cleaning just isn't happening—especially when things get dry—unless we've just had some heavy rain to kick things off. Isn't that almost entirely nonsensical? I mean, seriously... is there some dusty regulation from the 1800s still on the books somewhere that dictates this nonsense?
Sure, but Javelins are really more about taking out tanks. You can take care of armored vehicles and trucks with much lighter anti-armor stuff—stuff that's way more abundant and cheaper, like an RPG-7 or an AT4 and things like that.
I think the fourth one holds up pretty well—the humor is definitely a bit thinner, but it’s alright. Chris Rock is probably their weakest link here, but he actually manages to find a rhythm when he's paired up with Joe Pesci. I have a feeling Mel Gibson will nail it, especially if they can talk him into throwing a Superman movie into the mix too. Now that would be something worth seeing.😁

Not even close! If we’re talking about the absolute best movies centered around trains, 😁 Money Train is up there, but that’s more of a subway vibe anyway.
