I mean, let’s be real—Eva Mendes looks absolutely incredible.
That guy Cage is definitely living the dream.

Is it just me, or does nobody actually like Ghost Rider...? Or maybe I'm just missing something here—it feels like one of those movies that everyone collectively decided to ignore.😁
Same here, honestly. Just hanging in there.

Honestly, most people around here seem to see it the exact opposite way.
There are certainly some interesting movies and performances in there—bordering on trashy in spots, though I can't quite pin down which specific title fits that description perfectly.
For instance, I really went into > expecting something a bit more substantial, something deeper... but it just didn't hit the mark for me.

It’s honestly tough to pin down which one of his films hits the hardest.
I didn't end up voting for Lord of War, though—
but his performance in something like Con Air or Face/Off is arguably even more impressive,
and Gone in 60 Seconds is definitely a solid contender too.
If we’re talking recent stuff, Bad Lieutenant might be his best work.
He’s also great when he’s playing that scientist uncovering some massive national treasure—even that bit in Snowden where he calls the whole thing a real Enigma.
Then there's that moment where he's just playing some baker in a undershirt... 😁

Ryan Thomas4 said:You're both right that suspension absorbs some of that force—not the braking force itself, mind you, but the inertia.
But you're forgetting one thing: when the fork compresses, it actually shortens the lever arm between the pivot point—basically the wheel center—and the rider's center of mass (say, the backside). This means you need less torque to pull off a total somersault.
So, a good chunk of that absorbed energy just gets canceled out by the physics of the movement...
Now, all of this works perfectly in theory—you know, in a lab setting where you have the exact same bike, the same rider, and the same brakes under identical conditions.
In the real world, any actual difference in how someone brakes or flips is going to come down to the rider themselves.
In other words, if you've got zero skill, you aren't going to fly over the bars just because of your gear; it doesn't matter if it's
rigid or suspension.

I think you tripped up here.
What you're actually trying to say is that the torque required to flip increases, rather than decreases.
Since the lever arm got shorter.
Which would mean it's harder to flip.

There isn't really one right answer here—it’s all subjective, I guess. Everyone just knows what works for them.
I don't have any suspension myself, though—not that I wouldn't want some from time to time, mind you.

Talking about it is the easy part, but let’s say you actually get hired.
How are you even going to get to work? And what about masks—does the office even require them?
Half the time, you don't even have a locker to put your stuff in.

We might as well just make it easy and allow people to leave the country entirely at this point.
Out there, folks can travel across the states without much of a headache, but here—well, who actually knows when these blockades are going to clear up?
And even if they do finally budge, who’s to say how long we'll be stuck waiting through the aftermath?🥱

Is it actually possible to make it up to Mount Rainier?

So, it looks like the pass effectively dictates who's contagious, and then the contagion dictates the pass,
it’s a bit of a loop—if you don't have it, you're considered a risk.
Instead of actually looking at whether someone is physically capable of self-isolating in their own space.

There are at least three different ways someone could make it over to Gabonj. That is, unless they've got checkpoints set up right at the exit of Baška.

And honestly, even that’s debatable.
Half of them probably just live out in the suburbs anyway.
It’s not like you see people from places like Indianapolis, Des Moines, or even Akron hanging around downtown anymore.

It feels like nobody even bothers to talk about the migrant situation anymore.

Yeah, honestly, it’d be better if we just had those 300,000 people right here in town—just enough to clog up the streets and give everyone something to gossip about.

We really ought to be focusing strictly on daily migration patterns—not getting bogged down by weekly, bi-weekly, or longer-term shifts.
I mean, nobody wants cities that are completely overwhelmed right now.

Matthew Jackson2 said:The thing about a major hub is that all the essential services—the ones tasked with actually making a quarantine functional—are scaled to handle the sheer volume of people living there. It's the same deal in smaller towns, too, but those local resources are calibrated for the permanent residents, not for some sudden influx of tourists or commuters who have all descended on the place at once.

It's funny how it works—everyone from the small towns heads to the big cities to get treated, rather than the other way around.

And what kind of logic is it that thinking it's safer to have people swarming around cities and small towns—basically making it easier for everyone to catch something—is actually a good idea?

Matthew Jackson2 said:The problem is that once you move away from the big hubs, you lose all that critical logistics and infrastructure you absolutely need if things go south. Just look at what’s happening over on Martha's Vineyard right now—it's swarming with tourists, yet they've slapped a total quarantine on the place, nobody can go out or even step inside their own homes, and I heard the entire staff at the local clinic is stuck in self-isolation.

Well, that's assuming someone actually gets infected.
If you're dealing with an infected person in a massive metro area like New York City, then sure, the system can absorb it. 🤣

Wouldn't it actually be in their best interest to have fewer people packed into major cities—especially those places that are already sitting on fault lines and dealing with earthquake risks?
I mean, look at it this way—you're basically just keeping them all trapped in one big group with limited mobility.

So, he spent 48 months playing in New York City—I honestly had no clue, and I don't think I ever have 😁

If you were a projectionist, you could have sat there and watched him nearly 4,000 times, for instance. 🙂That’s probably enough content to last you through a good chunk of a decade
