Fallout (Amazon Series)

Nukes irradiate an advanced version of the 1950ish, but doesn't that happen in all the Fallouts? Yeah, the world is all the same, but there are a LOT of vaults. Plus, stories will differ from character to character, city to city, etc. The world having gone to war, the time period, ghouls, and so on...

Post-Corona Economy

The entire world's population can fit into Rhode Island many times over (I believe standing up?). Rhode Island is about 3000 sq km. You might even be able to sit down. lol The area of Rhode Island (state) is about 3,140 km² whereas the Earth's population is about 7.7 billion people. If we give a st...

How to do vote a write-in. Amazing how we can't ask for ID when people vote because that would be "impeding democracy", but they won't count write in votes unless the person files all the paperwork. 200M people could vote for Fetterman and it wouldn't count? Democracy! "Oh look, anot...

That's why he'll get charged with murder. He escaped, but came back.

Space is probably an issue in the dense cities, but not in the suburbs or rural. While there's something to this, I think it's more about the inefficiency of our population centers.

What's the logic here? Get an easier path to a later exit in the playoffs? If you don't have the team to win, then don't try to go as far as possible so your draft pick is better, right? The later you wait to play the best team, the better the odds are as well that the best team will get upset firs...

That's weird. Random coincidence or you think Twitter picked up something from you seeing it and thought you wanted more? I've only seen it once.

Anyone know the story? I couldn't find it in the tweet when I looked last night.

I don't know what this says about the NBA, but I do know what it says about sportsmanship and what it says about anyone involved in this sort of thing... Cavs throw their final game to get a more favorable playoff matchup. And their reward for winning that matchup will be the #1 East seed Boston Cel...

Haven't seen it yet, but I thought I read it's an all new story. As someone who has played all the games except 76, the story from the trailer doesn't look familiar. The Fallout universe is as large as the planet, so the number of stories can be endless. Fallout games have taken place in Vegas, Bost...

I've been seeing a lot of strories about homicides are way up, but the FBI made it weird how they want to collect the data and the big cities just can't be bothered to report it correctly any more. Correct. The FBI crime numbers that released a few weeks back and people really promoted only had lik...

We can laugh off the 99% interception rate, but it required what - 6 countries worth of Air Forces to do that? A billion dollars in fuel and munitions? Ronald Reagan was smiling about the Iron Dome's effectiveness this weekend. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we cancelled the next-next aircraft...

Ha! I was coming to put her(? Gordon's comment threw me off) here too.

Turns out threatening elected people at an official meeting isn't wise.

Although, I think the people in charge need to hear stuff like this so they can learn that people and cultures are not all interchangeable.

He won last week and has a 4 stroke lead at the Masters with 2 holes to play. Total domination not seen since Tiger's prime.

If he was black or trans it'd be all sports MSM could talk about.

Those ballistic missile strikes seemed very weak. Comments in that thread say very minor damage.

I doubt Iran is going to take this a lot farther knowing Israel is a nuclear power.

I wonder if Biden and Putin are talking tonight, just in case?
