Witnessed the sound & fury of an Aventador SV and 911 GT3 on the road over the weekend, convinced I need at least a Mustang GT in my life. Nov 23, 2020

        Mustang GT is fun for not too much money. My buddy bought one a couple years ago and has gradually added factory performance packages to where it’s now just shy of 500hp.

      Violence over territory I get, violence over religion has puzzled me, but violence over face mask regulations just boggles the mind.

        Some people think that they will die if near someone without a mask. When put in a perceived life or death situation, they may resort to violence. But there’s the irony of physical contact......

        Perhaps the only good thing about HIV/AIDS was that people could, ever after, walk into a shop and buy condoms. Embarrassment gone. Although, come to think of it, I never tried walking down the street wearing one.

        @DigMe i agree 100% but many skip starting with the basics and go straight for the easy way out. And this is not with just kids but in general, a more holistic approach is probably more beneficial in the long run than trying to find bandaids for everything. Speaking as a former special needs kid who did not receive what was needed and had to clean up the mess left as an adult.

      The Irishman was great, fantastic acting. Not sure how MCU fans & directors can criticize Scorsese's stance on what is real cinema.

        MCU is easily junk food. Fun, very fun, but not for those seeking refined taste. Refined sugars maybe, but making that joke is a massive stretch on its own haha.

        This is on my list to check out, glad it seems to be great!

        All this BS is so blown out of proportion. Cinema is a moving picture on a movie screen, full stop. Whether Scorsese likes a certain genre or type of storytelling is irrelevant. There was escapist entertainment before him, and there will be after him.

        I think it's fair of Marvel to reject the idea of Scorsese getting to define what constitutes 'Real Cinema'. And The Irishman is an accomplishment, no doubt, but there are Marvel movies I personally enjoyed more.

        If that's the best i can do for a balanced SS amp in that price tier, then will strongly consider the Phonitor E. Does "not a truly balanced design" have meaningful consequences? Feeding from Gungnir Multibit. Scouring the threads...
