    That's just it; you haven't read the book. I went into it expecting a serious story that examines Fascism, civic duty, and war, not a virtual comedy that makes fun of all of that. Saw it in a theatre the day after it was released. Oddly, the animated films that were made afterward are actually a...

    I feel the same way about "Total Recall" and the remake. I'm pretty sure that I'd feel the opposite about a remake of "Starship Troopers" if it was more true to the novel. because when I saw the original I really didn't expect, nor want, a parody.

    As an old school roleplayer, I'm really enjoying the adult animated series "The Mighty Nein." Half the fun is trying to place what character classes/archetypes they're trying to portray. some are dead easy, while others have flavouring that doesn't seem to fit what I think they should be.

    If you haven't seen the documentary about Renner's accident and recovery, you should. I think it's still available on Disney+.

    Vehicle owner is responsible. If it's a trucking company then they're on the hook. If you have a dashcam then it should be relatively easy. If contacting the vehicle owner doesn't get a reasonable response or isn't possible, make a police report using the recording. Use the report to make an...

    Box height drive-through brush that removed 90%+ of the snow, rather than leaving all of it in place and just driving it off. If it's warm enough to melt it into ice, then it's also warm enough to just melt off that small layer that remains.

    And remember, people, that legally they are responsible for damage to your vehicle as the HTA was amended in something like 2014. There's a $1000.00 fine to commercial vehicles for it ($500.00 to personal vehicles).

    It was OK, but the only thing that hit right for me was the, "Hey, this is the US of A" line.

    I absolutely hate this crap. I saw ice coming off a truck's roof but thought it was from a different truck, and missed the bits that I later saw in the video. This hit HARD. I accelerated to try and get past it but only managed to make it hit the roof, instead of busting out my windscreen...

    And, as always, the question is how long had he been doing it before getting caught?

    Most rideshare drivers also run cameras, for their own protection. Frequently it's just a 2 camera system with one facing forward, out the windscreen, and the other facing into the passenger compartment. I'll bet police already have that.

    Believe me when I saw Netflix is just in it for the money. The shooting schedule on Netflix series is borderline abusive to crew and talent.

    I decided to give it a pass as soon as I saw Leto was in it. My feeling is that they needed someone to play a soulless AI, so the choice was obvious.

    As I've mentioned before, Brampton had started expanding their school zones. pretty sure they added a bunch of community safety zones as well. If that had been curtailed, rather than outright banning cameras, that might have been a better compromise. The cities brought it on themselves by doing...

    While I'm glad that a stop to the excessive use of speed cameras has been put to a stop, I am definitely seeing more complete idiots out there who are doing ridiculous speeds. For example the guy today who was doing 80+ Kmh in a 50 zone, that was a place showing a "speed camera coming soon" sign...

    It was predicted and has come to pass that streaming would just become the new cable TV. With everything siloed it's small wonder that piracy would make a resurgence.

    Just started rewatching "Fringe", because it had been too long. I might, however, stop short of the final season. Undecided at the moment. After that I'll likely go through "Babylon 5" and its movies again.
