Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
A friend recommended "Narcos" to me for my tv-show to-do list, but I feel more like SciFi after finishing The Wire, so if this is streaming somewhere, I might binge whatever is available of The Expanse thus far.

Having seen none of The Expanse my recommendation is to go watch Narcos

Narcos is good. Black Mirror is also worth watching too if you're wanting something more SciFi.

Yea Black Mirror is good but a little inconsistent. There's one or two episodes I could have skipped.

Army had no problem keeping single E5s in the barracks ten years ago. If they had a room open, your rear end would fill it until married, make E6, or ETS.

I assume it's still the same.

Yep, we had a couple single e-5s in the barracks. Also we had an e-4 in a contract marriage with a friend from home that lived off base and split the cash with her. Like she may as well not have existed. Almost everyone thought he was single. Don't know how he kept it going the whole time.

How did he manage that poo poo? Shuffle his paperwork while distracting the file clerk with a yoyo?

Oh wait. Supply. Supply owns the keys to the barracks. That's where his beer mole lives, in battalion supply somewhere.

I've seen Arrival three times and have a pre-order in for the blu-ray.

It's loving awesome. And I absolutely disagree it's a slow movie. Every scene serves a purposes. There's a development every several minutes. Arrival is only slow if people talking = boring.

Would the army send people around to watch married couples gently caress? Stuff like that seemed really typical in the navy

I just can't justify spending that much on some ear buds.

What makes them worth $159 that I shouldn't just spent a few more dollars for some wireless over ear headphones?

The iPhone is my only Apple product if that makes any difference.

Nothing objectively. If you want to pay more for the Apple "it just works" quality, they're great. But if it's purely about functionality in terms of bang for buck, there are definitely better buys. That said, the side benefits are quite nice.

I doubt it, but when you in-process to a unit you either sign for a barracks room, or sign for a few days to go play apartment hunter if you didn't prior and get your bah/bas lined up.

I get why someone would do it, but they usually made sure people drawing bah weren't living in the barracks.

Just watched Jason Momoa's netflix show Frontier. Sucks that it's a 6-episode first season, but it's good enough it should get more. The writers are a little clumsy once in a while but on the whole it's pretty solid...IMDB suggests this is their first real writing gig beyond shorts. I think they're going to get better quickly and make big names for themselves. I like the change of scenery to a show that's set in a legitimate realistic historical setting. That doesn't seem to happen very often.

What are the legal implications with all these cars running over protestors and poo poo. I mean aside from the one where the dude turned around and nailed that one guy going fast

If you are blocked and feel threatened isn't it technically legal?

depends on the state and the credibility of the threat you're facing. a while back there was a tape where some dude in a land rover hit some dude on a bike that was part of a ride and got chased down by like 20+ bikers. he ended up flooring it and hitting another bike or two but IIRC had the charges dropped because bikers were trying to smash his poo poo in and he had his family with him. I dunno how rioters/protesters rate compared to that. Also it was in NYC

Other states could have ended up with a CCW in the car, like I would have shot my way out/floored it if I was the driver.

Oh come on, this is about thinking about how one would react in a situation under duress while in a legit riot crowd. Rational thought goes out the window and is replaced by the self-sustaining drive to get the gently caress outta there.

I hope they're fine, but unless the driver was intentionally trying to somehow slowly plow his way through the crowd when it had already assembled, they're a bunch of idiots.

That scene makes me wonder how a single car got surrounded by a mob. Did that guy take a turn down a road that was clogged with dissidents already? Did the mob coalesce in a hurry and surround the car?

Never been in one, but they seem like something that can be both readily avoided and suddenly form without warning. In either case, don't stand in front of a car that is driving on the road.
