    I don’t think people truly understand the difference between the CHL and top NCAA programs. The kid is going to be a star in the league for some time.

    Got started a little early on this years Criterion Challenge. Kicked it off with a first watch of the Red Shoes and was completely blown away. Not only was every aspect of the film great but the 4k restoration is stunning.

    I feel as if I'm going crazy by thinking F1 was disappointing. Everyone around me raved about it and I genuinely thought it was lackluster at best.

    About five minutes later, a computer-generated voice announced the King Air's call sign on the tower frequency and reported its position south of the airport, stated, "pilot incapacitation," and the system's intention to conduct an "emergency Autoland" on Runway 30R in 19 minutes.

    This is how I felt as well. I enjoyed it and it felt to be headed in the right direction but the small tight maps made everything so chaotic. Hoping they are just saving the best for the release....

    While playing it I couldn't help but wish I was playing Squad or Hell Let Loose instead.

    If we are able to get enough interest, we should do a race one night on one of the platforms. It's always such a blast.

    Currently reading Demon Copperfield and can't put it down.

    Demon Copperhead is a 2022 novel by Barbara Kingsolver. It was a co-recipient of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and won the 2023 Women's Prize for Fiction. Kingsolver was inspired by the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield.[1][2] While Kingsolver's novel is similarly about a boy born into poverty, Demon Copperhead is set in Appalachia and explores contemporary issues.
