Honestly, if he’s telling the truth, the punishment is way too harsh. I live out in the sticks myself—I can step right out of my backyard onto the fields and walk my dog through nothingness all day. Aside from my family, the closest person to me is basically just someone standing in my yard. Once I hit the fields, there isn't a soul for hundreds of yards, and once I get a mile out, I'm completely alone. So what, am I supposed to get the same penalty as someone walking in circles in the middle of downtown Chicago?
Yeah, if you just send it as a letter, the mailman delivers it to your door for free. Letters can go up to 2kg. Though, I’ve ended up paying for small packet shipping once or twice. It’s weird—I got two different packages on the exact same day, one was just a phone case and the other was a 1kg item, yet I still had to pay for the case because it had a small packet label on it.
If nobody's home, you just get a yellow slip and the package heads back to the local FedEx facility. Usually, if there are customs fees or sales tax involved, they’ll call you first to prove what the item is actually worth. Then, about a week later, the package shows up and you pay the driver right there. Unfortunately, if you're hit with sales tax or import duties, the delivery service will also squeeze you for an extra $8.25 just to drop it off. There's also this "small packet" category some eBay sellers love to use, where the mailman charges you $1.50 just for the delivery—even if it's a tiny 10-gram envelope while a 2kg box gets delivered for free. Your only real move is to have them take it back to the post office so you can pick it up yourself for free, assuming it's even worth the hassle over $1.50 bucks.
I thought Morgado was great too. He brought this calmness to the role, and his voice is just as soothing; it makes the whole performance really easy to watch. He just lives and breathes everything he says. For me, the best part was when he picked up Matthew at the market.
I was actually talking to my brother about language stuff during the Passion last night. It’s not like I obsess over those details—I don't mind English (even if aliens spoke it)—but I saw that Three Musketeers movie the other day where the plot is between the English and the French, yet everyone is speaking American. 👎 So, the Passion is a nice change of pace. Of course, there's a ton of behind-the-scenes drama that leans more toward conspiracy theories, but let's stick to the movie itself.
Since we're already talking about it, I saw it on National Geographic today. Killing Jesus
Just watched it. It's already up on torrent sites. It’s not that it’s bad, but it isn't anything to write home about either. It drags on a bit longer than The Passion of the Christ, and the acting is just mediocre at best. You can see those fake beards from a mile away. Honestly, the only thing they got right was giving the actors darker skin so they actually look like they belong in that era and climate. Look, let’s get one thing straight: Jesus wasn't some blue-eyed, blonde male model with perfectly coiffed hair and a manicured beard. Really? You still believe that?
I haven't seen the movie and didn't even know it existed, but how do you cram that much material into just two hours and expect it to actually make sense?
So, I did a little digging on IMDb and found this, which looks pretty interesting.
It starts airing this Sunday. If it's connected to that series everyone was raving about earlier, it's definitely worth a watch.
It’s not a movie, but I thought that History Channel miniseries was actually great. The soundtrack, the narrator, the acting... everything was spot on.
If you're just shipping a T-shirt, grab one of those yellow bubble mailers from the USPS counter and stuff it in. It'll run you about a dollar or two if you go with the tracked option. They’ll hand you a form to fill out with your address and the recipient's info. Just write the same thing on the envelope and call it a day. Drop it off and pay. Then they give you back a white receipt that has your tracking number on it.
The whole thing takes maybe two to five minutes unless the line at the post office is backed up.
Two quick thoughts: Qatar deserved the win over Poland. Sure, the refs gave them a bit of a home-court advantage, but it wasn't even close—Poland just isn't on that level.
O'Meyer: Seriously, props to him. Locking those doors shut like that? Absolute class. The French defense: Just incredible. Those Spaniards couldn't find a single opening against that set defense in the second half. They couldn't manufacture a single man-up advantage. And even when they finally managed to scrape together a shot, they just ran straight into a brick wall.
The fact is, we hit our first goal. Our best player showed up to this World Cup completely burnt out from being sick. The officiating changed too; yesterday they let you wrestle, now they don't. We have to realize that everyone here plays handball (Index messed up there, but I guess they meant everyone actually plays handball today). Nothing changes. The coach is going to pay the price. There's no secret—we’re coming for that 2018 Europe title. That's not a secret. About 80 percent of the players will be at peak strength.
So, sure, it's a success, but the coach is still taking the fall. Of course, he’s safely entrenched in his position.
It’s just not happening. You can't play against a team like Poland 22:24 when the refs are clearly biased against us because they don't want to see the home team win.

Why the hell are they cramming themselves into such a tiny space?
There goes Duvnjak again, trying to force his way through. 🤦
Like Džomba would say, those are nothing more than makeshift tent flaps. Duvnjak clearly didn't show up for this game today. Vori looks just as lost out there.
The score is great for us, considering how bad we played.
Bringing back Červar isn't going to fix a damn thing. The vibe is toxic. It’s not even that the players lack talent; they just don't give a rip about this national team. They know the second they start fading, they'll be tossed aside like yesterday's trash. Some guys are even bitter because their playing time is being manipulated just to keep certain players in the shop window for scouts. Same exact nonsense happening with the national team.
As for Gobac and his political party, I already said it: if he's this powerful while his people are out of office, what happens when they actually take control?
