I will say the KFC does have the advantage for their "gimmicks". Like the KFC festive sandwich with stuffing and cranberry sauce. And of course, the mother of all gimmick burgers:

Debora Caprioglio in Paprika (1991) Not a poster, but what can I say, I love Italian cinema ;)

Binged the "season". I put in quotes because I thought it would at least have semblance of a conclusion. It's less of a "complete season", and more like "Season 2, part 1". BTW, did you see the post-credits scene?

Back on the topic of joe: Biden says he could have beaten Trump in 2024 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-says-still-pondering-preemptive-pardons-believes-he-could-have-beaten-2025-01-11/ ...good to see he is senile as ever. Joe has also been flipping the bird as a sendoff gift, and...

Since I've copped out of the question, I nominate @gmase to answer in my place ;)

Working my way through those "gourmet hot chocolate" mixes I seem to get a lot of during the holidays. Not complaining. It's a great way to wind down a winter evening.

Apparently pillow fighting is an actual sport, with an actual league and championships:

I'm counting this as a general NHL thread, so:

Now I want this. For those who like myself who have totally forgotten their high school algebra: O= opposite A= adjacent H= hypotenuse O/A = tan We want the square root of 1 + tan^2(c) 1 + O^2 / A^2 (A^2 + O^2 )/ A^2 H^2 / A^2 (Pythagoras) (H/A)^2 (sec(c)) ^2 because secant = H/A So the answer...

Interesting how the meaning changes depending on which single word is emphasized. I never said we should kill him I never said we should kill him I never said we should kill him I never said we should kill him I never said we should kill him I never said we should kill him I never said we...

It might not be the oldest, but the placement seemed coincidental. It's definitely one of the most active threads and with one of the most posts.

Trump Is Treating the Globe Like a Monopoly Board https://time.com/7205320/trump-panama-greenland-canada/ What's scary is that you don't know if he's joking or serious. I can totally see him sending forces to Panama and at least trying to rename the Gulf.

Well, at least when someone asks "Who is running your country?", we can actually/factually/literally say: "No one"

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-resigns-trump-tariffs-what-happens-now-1.7424288 Canada's PM resigned. But as a big "Fuck U Eh", instead of an election, or appointing an interim leader, he prorogued parliament till late March. Which basically put the country on hold, but lets his party...

I plead the 5th. My country is going to be out of order for the next 2 months.

Just started Season 2. It will be a tall order to replicate the success of the first, but let's see where it goes.

I can't say if it's a good song or not, but the music video with Ortega is definitely... twisted. She's really playing off Wednesday in everything she does now.

It was ok for me. Her monologues are on point, but the "expert" interviews fell short for me. You could tell the "soundbite" that she was going for in each question, and the expert saw right through them and answered in the smartest, but least funniest way possible. That's why I like interviews...

So apart from the US election, what were your top news stories of 2024? (Gaza and Ukraine are of course there too) Non-US elections and regime changes were big. Many countries saw regime changes, either through democracy or rebellion (Bangladesh/Syria). And Canada/Germany get to join in the fun...

Finally!! (Women's WWE title news)

Not sure if you call this a movie or an extended TV special, but in either case, I know of at least 1 member of this board who is stoked to see this:

She knows how to get in the spirit

Appropriate for the New Year! And unrelated...

The article basically just goes into the results. The mythbusters go into more detail as to why they results were what they were. I think the science behind it would be too much for an msn article.

President Biden Announces Recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/04/president-biden-announces-recipients-of-the-presidential-medal-of-freedom-3/ Some... interesting choices there. Also makes you wonder who will make...

Do Tonneau Covers Improve A Truck's Gas Mileage? https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/do-tonneau-covers-improve-a-truck-s-gas-mileage/ar-AA1wKTLU?ocid=nl_article_link This was interesting. I thought the difference would have been much more significant.

There's no "general" sports thread, so I'm putting this here.

This hasn't aged well...

Happy New Year to you all! Let's strap in for the ride. It's going to be a wild one.

I'm trying to decide if Raquel Roper looks more like Selena Gomez or Jenna Ortega.

I have a subcompact ICE, and I drove over 425km roundtrip to visit friends this Xmas. I still had 1/4 of a tank left when I got back home. From my understanding, the standard EV wouldn't be able to make that trip. And to physically fill up the gas tank from empty, takes maybe 5 minutes, tops. I...

I thought that in all countries EV's are always more expensive to maintain/repair than ICE cars. It would make sense, since you literally have over a century of technology and refinement, along with an abundance of technicians and repair shops which also would drive down the price. After all...

Eliminating motion artifacts which really ruined those older vids.

In Japan, KFC is the traditional Xmas dinner. I saw KFC has a "festive sandwich" which is like a stuffed chicken dinner in a burger, so I thought that was a good substitute. https://www.kfc.ca/menu/kentucky-fried-favourites/festive-chicken-sandwich-fcs

Here's a quick example of Topaz's side-by-side feature. This is just a preview of a very zoomed-in frame, and you can see how the upscale to HDR helps the contrast and lighting, as well as the AI adding the details for the ass and pussy. On top of which, this was 30fps and I upscaled it to...

I envy you who don't have to go through this semi-annual dance of changing your tires.

Russia is not giving up, especially if their allies are now sending troops. It's clear that the war will only end if Ukraine gives up, or the West directly intervenes. Inclusion in NATO would constitute the latter. Between sending NATO troops on the ground, or simply including them in the NATO...

A good question is: "Would they still be my friend if I stopped giving them free stuff?" Look at the reaction they gave Canada and other NATO countries when they said they stopped military exports to them. Like Mr. Day said, it's more of a marriage of convenience. The US benefits from having...

The gist is that she doesn't like people mocking her unless she gets a cut.

She wants to shutdown a charity musical show that was about to raise $500 for a women's shelter.

Sorry mate, she's getting more unlikeable by the day...

What's the difference between a kleptomaniac and a literalist?

Trump trash talks Freeland in blast from her political past https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-freeland-post-1.7412270 Freeland is Canada's Finance minister who quit (or "was fired" according to tump) yesterday. And he again took a dig at Canada being a "state". I'm no fan of Freeland, but it...

I'm curious if you find this to be a positive or negative: If you follow a pornstar long enough, and especially if they involved in producing, you see them re-use many of their previous outfits. It can be good if it's an outfit that looks good on them, but on the other hand, it can feel like a...

Women are bringing it. War games was awesome, and even "regular" matches with spots like this dropkick off the apron are impressive. Imagine how much that has to hurt with nothing but a mat on solid concrete to break your fall.

Put this holiday decoration on your lawn and wait for the reactions :)

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/we-are-in-for-more-terrorism-not-less-warns-canadian-terror-expert-amid-syria-s-political-chaos-1.7141838 One opinion from an expert as to why the regime change is not a good thing. One factor is that while Syria jailed a lot of people, that also included some of...

Trump taunts Trudeau by calling him 'governor' of 'a great state' https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-trudeau-governor-great-state-canada-1.7406226 Well, that got off to a good start...

Finished this. Good mix of comedy and slice of life. It will probably hit harder for anyone with elderly fam/friends.
