re: In depth interview with GRRM has people thinking Winds of Winter will never be finished

I'd have more respect for him if he came out said, "look, I'm rich now. I don't have to finish shite." Instead, he plays the victim and keeps stringing fans along.

The more accurate term is less lethal. If one of those rounds or a tear gas canister hits you in the chest, you could potentially be a gonner. The broiling pan, while silly, may actually be effective at dispersing the energy of a direct impact.

As for pay, let's say some people got $200k. That's ~$365k today. I'd also assume they had a lot of their living expenses covered for those three years. The hobbit actors were in their late 20's. You give me $120k/year and cover my living expenses at that age, and I'm fricking living like a king.
I'm ignoring Blanchett. Her part was small at something like10-15 minutes of screen time over a 10+ hour trilogy. She can shut up about it.
re: Those with a gym membership - what are you paying per month?
Posted by BottomlandBrew on 1/16/26 at 9:03 am to StringedInstruments
$120/mo for a family YMCA plan. I don't really like working out there because it's crowded, but the kids love the place, so they swim or play and I can get some exercise.
Most days I go to the free gym provided by my wife's employer. She's a teacher and the school system has a health center for employees and souses. Usually when I go, it's me and one or two retirees.

re: Couple lock teens in pen. Shoot them with BB gun. Refused to feed them. Have ‘fight night’

An employee of mine recently got two foster kids that are 20 months and 8 months old. The parents had them locked in an uninsulated shed with nothing but a wood floor and no windows.
The fricked up thing is the courts are still trying to give the bio-parents a shot at getting the kids back. Like, wtf? Lock the parents in the shed and walk away.

Rental Family - Brendan Fraser (contains some spoilers)
Posted by BottomlandBrew on 1/15/26 at 4:36 pm
Before I get to the spoilers in the second paragraph onward, I'll say it's a very well made film. It's a movie you can watch to feel both high and low emotions, but not come away feeling drained. Fraser was great in it, as was the supporting cast. It's not a super heavy movie, which I appreciate. It was a feel-good movie without leaning on too many played out feel-good tropes. It has enough humor mixed with some pretty heavy stuff to keep things from just being a complete downer. And it's a visually beautiful movie.
Now, on to spoilers:
1/3 of the way in I didn't really know where it was going. I was unsure if he was going to get with the Mom, or struggle leaving the girl to go to the job in Korea, and I kind of rolled my eyes at the thought of that being the plot, but I'm so glad they didn't do either of those and instead squashed those ideas halfway through and went for a more "genuine" third act.
The jail break with Kikuo was wonderfully emotional both up and down.
I don't quite know how I describe the emotion I felt during the mother/daughter scene where the girl silently forgives her mom while the mom silently hurts because of what she had to do. Bittersweet isn't the right word, but it's something related to that, maybe.
The reveal that that Shinji's family were actors was a sort, "damn, that's pretty messed up. I feel bad for the guy now."

You may see major alts like ETH, SOL, XRP, and the like run, but I think alts on down the line are pretty fricked. Polymarket has siphoned a lot of degen activity.
That said, degens gonna degen, so who knows.

I question whether there would be time for that. Maybe, but i say make hay while the sun is shining. The internal momentum is peaking, as is external momentum. Now is the chance to do something and free those people.

A) frick Qatar. They've been funding extremists for a long time.
B) If Iran falls, I wonder what this does for the hopes of a formal Kurdistan. The Kurds are good people, and they need a home to call their own.

Everyone is telling their citizens to get out. I'd bet on some US sorties to start flying out within a few days.
re: December core consumer prices rose at a 2.6% annual rate, less than expected
Posted by BottomlandBrew on 1/13/26 at 9:10 am to Bard
2% was thrown out there by someone in the 80s from New Zealand, and the Fed loosely used that for a couple of decades until it formalized that target in 2012. A couple of years back, there were rumblings that the Fed was unofficially trying to get sub 3% as a target for the covid-related inflation issue, and then massage it down from there.
