I'm looking to ship this one big item that weighs about 6 or 7 pounds. The dimensions are roughly 20x12x16. It’s pretty awkward to handle, too—not exactly a perfect cube. The thing is, I can't find a decent box anywhere, and since the value is only $13, it honestly feels like a waste of cash to go out and buy a specialized box or pay those ridiculous FedEx rates. Can I just wrap the thing up myself? Will the USPS actually take it if it's just wrapped like that?
Here’s my actual take on this flick if you actually bother to use your brain for once:
God, I hate Hollywood. 1. Seriously, how the hell did they even land that plane there?????????????? 2. CGI gets more pathetic with every single movie coming out. 3. One minute they're just cruising, the next they've totally taken over the White House and the bunker where the President is hiding—since when was it that easy to bypass the Secret Service? (Pro tip: look up SALT if you want to see how things actually work) 4. I bet the script looked exactly like this: EXT. WHITE HOUSE - AFTERNOON Bunch of charlie's penetrate The White house and there's nothing US Army, secret service or D.C. Police can do 🤣 Or better yet, right in the middle of the movie, the hero starts chatting up the villain and casually mentions he saved the President's son—total FACEPALM moment. And don't even get me started on them having HYDRA 6. Like, where did they even get that? And then suddenly—bam—it's all "we'll explain later" (spoiler: they won't, they probably just picked it up at a flea market).
What else...
It feels like the director has some weird fetish for headshots; like 90% of the kills are just brains being splattered everywhere.
Also, that whole opening bit where the First Lady dies was completely pointless.🤷
But alright, bottom line: it's a solid action flick in the way I like 'em—zero thinking required, just pure chaos and explosions. If it were called Die Hard, it would fit perfectly...
Man, these half-hour trailers are a joke—they basically spoil 90% of the movie before you even buy a ticket.
It'll probably be alright, but I'm just not feeling it.🤷
What really gets me is seeing how they handle the plane crash scene; they're definitely going to make the plane look like it's totaled, even though I'm pretty sure at least half those people are walking away unscathed.🙂
@Grace Jones86 I meant it literally—like, the kid is totally losing it because his dad isn't home when those beasts kill his sister (he’s screaming your name, asking where you were, just pure chaos), and then right at the start, the wife tells him she doesn't even recognize her own son. 🙄
I’m with you—he’s a solid actor. Honestly, Hollywood Homicide is an absolute gem, even if it flopped at the box office and critics trashed it left and right 🤷 personally, I think it’s pretty damn cool.
Anyone here using almonds or walnuts? How does it actually make you feel after eating them?
I stuck to eating almonds every single day for a month straight—didn't feel any different. Tried pairing them with milk too, still nothing. Whether I eat them or skip them for a month, the only thing that changes is how often I’m hitting the restroom, but it doesn't mess with my stomach or anything else. Same goes for fruit like bananas or apples; didn't make a lick of difference. Honestly, I eat pretty much everything—all kinds of veggies, basically anything that falls under that "healthy diet" umbrella...
I’m whining about the same thing as always—basically comparing summer 2011 (back when I was 172 lbs and feeling absolutely killer even though my TSH was high) to summer 2012 (down to 141 lbs and having zero energy for anything, zero drive, just straight up feeling terrible despite my TSH being totally normal). I mention the TSH because everything kicked off with my thyroid issues. So, the way people talk about it makes zero sense to me—at least in my experience—🤷because I was eating the exact same foods during both of those summers.
So I’ve got a question—I hit this massive flare back in May 2012 and I haven't stopped feeling exhausted since. It’s constant. I wake up wiped out, and if I walk even like a mile, that’s basically my limit for the entire day. Just today, I went for a quick stroll in the sun for maybe half a mile and I felt absolutely trashed—totally pale, couldn't even stay on my feet, and ended up puking. Also, I have zero appetite, especially in the mornings. I can manage a little something in the afternoon, but I just cannot put on any weight, no matter what. The thing is, every single test comes back perfect. I’ve done the blood work, checked my thyroid via biopsy, glucose, blood pressure—everything looks totally normal. My endocrinologist says it isn't my thyroid, and my primary care doctor is basically clueless about what's going on; she even suggested it might not be chronic fatigue. So, are you guys dealing with these same exact symptoms?
To give some context, about four months ago I could actually walk 1.2 miles for a decent stretch before hitting a wall, and I had a decent appetite back then—I wasn't waking up feeling this dead. Nowadays, I wake up feeling more or less okay, but once I move, I'm finished. Back then my TSH was 3.6, but a month ago it was down to 2.4...
I honestly think his movies are killer—total popcorn flicks, tons of action, and everything else you could ever want from a blockbuster 🤷
Is he actually good or what? Objectively speaking—yeah, he’s good, otherwise there's no way he'd be pulling in this kind of massive paycheck Subjectively (my two cents)—he's solid
