The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, but a lot of very important parts of that letter aged like milk.

We’re not powerless and we’re not voiceless. We don’t have majorities in the House or Senate but we do have representatives there.

Mitch McConnell says LOL.

It’s also good to remember that most members of Trump’s own party feel exactly the same way about him that we do.

WTF no they don’t.

I know my predictions have let you down in the past, but personally, I don’t think this guy can make it a year without committing an impeachable crime.

He’s done multiple impeachable crimes every month. It doesn’t matter.

I agree those parts are lol but to fair I’d hate to go back and look at my posting around the same time. I’d likely puke! :grinning:

My wife and I watched it with our youngest. It was fascinating. My wife grew up in the area and said she went there once, but was too young/scared to go on most of the attractions (she thinks she was about 12-13).

Sports Night is the exact opposite. Pretty awful pilot (thanks in no small part to the awful laugh track) that turned into an overall pretty incredible show.

The story of people coming through the loop lacerated to shit because TEETH were embedded in the foam padding was jaw dropping

Yea that slide was utterly insane. Plausible with proper engineering and manufacturing but they just threw stuff together until it kind of worked. The animations of that and the other attractions in the doc were fantastic.

I still dont conpletely understand the physics. Water shouldnt travel in a loop like that. Wouldnt it just pool at the bottom of the loop entrance?

I am definitely watching this one after all of the discussion :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

Oh dude, do it. It’s a trip.

Speaking of watching things,the first there episodes of The Boys was great, with special mention to the last half hour of episode three. Great stuff. Really enjoying Aya Cash but Anthony Starr is by far the stand out of S2 so far. Some incredible scenes between him and his son.

Not entirely sure how I’m feeling about weekly episodes. It’s a very binge able show, and I’m curious how it holds at only an hour a week.

Same!!! Wtf. Give me the whole season.

Though I thought that with it being a new episode every Friday, you and me could more easily hold off watching until we could watch together sometimes on Friday or Saturday.

So I don’t think they really got too detailed with their design, but in theory yes. It wasn’t mentioned in the doc but I believe they also needed a hatch at the bottom to evacuate riders who didn’t make it around the loop. I’m not sure how Action Park handled water flow and prevented pooling at the bottom.

The modern day take on this is called Aqua Loop and uses a not quite vertical loop that has water flowing from the top of the loop. I’ve ridden one, its extremely disorienting.

did anyone watch Raised by wolves?

Watched the 1st 3 episodes.
Definitely has the Ridley Scott in outer space and foreign planets vibe and look. Very odd story, and takes several left turns.
Almost gave up in the 1st episode, but glad I didn’t.

i watched all 3 as well, enjoying it but yea it keeps taking a lot of fast turns.

I’ve done some research and can report I am still very much capable of enjoying The West Wing.

I’m sending our Television Re-Education Team over immediately.

This weekend I finished Black Monday season 1 and F Is For Family season 4, both of which were quite good. I also watched the movie The Campaign, which is quite funny, especially for how little buzz it seemed to get.

Just finished da 5 bloods, anyone seen it?

I ended up really liking it, have some thoughts but can’t spoiler from my phone so will post later.

College kids have some terrible taste apparently

Watched Class Action Park and it was everything I could have hoped for. I went twice as a kid, probably around 1983-84ish. The features I remember the most were the Colorado River Ride, which was exactly as chaotic as described; and the wave pool, which legitimately terrified me. I also remember my older (but still far underage) brother being able to get beer, and that he ended up with a nasty 8" gash on his back after going down the insanely high slide with the free fall to start. Never learned if it was an exposed bolt or some other kid’s broken tooth that caused it. We complained, the staff shrugged and did nothing.

Just different times. Life was cheaper then. Do they even have alpine slides anymore? Once at another park, when I was too young to go on one myself, my father just stuck me on the front of his sled and off we went. And shortly after, of course, off we went. I was fine. He fucked up his arm pretty badly.

In high school we used to go sledding at night while drunk. We’d get like 6 or 8 of us on a 4x8 sheet of plexiglass and careen down the steepest and most dangerous hill we could find. A guy fractured his back once. He walked home.

“We would try to die for fun.” Yep.
