The Movie "Air" Is Surprinsingly Really, Really Good. And Even More So, The Sonny Vaccaro Speech Really Happened In Real Life

And see it I did. And you know what? Those people were right. Bateman killed as marketing executive Rob Strasser, per usual, because thats what Bateman does. Its only like an hour and a half long, its quick and worth it I promise. And 2- was the speech Damon gave in the movie factual? Or was that just Hollywood? Just an AWESOME delivery for any Jordan fanatic to hear. Come to find out, it actually happened like that....

UK’s £1BN semiconductor plan branded ‘disappointing’ by chip sector

But while industry players welcomed the strategy, they also criticised its level of support. This amount, however, is dwarfed by similar initiatives in the West. 40% off TNW Conference! We need to see faster action behind bigger numbers to achieve the goal, Brock explained. Unlike the US and the EU, the UKs plan comes without particular focus on strengthening manufacturing capabilities. By having technology that the others want.

A Boomer's Thoughts on Getting His Last Child Through College

“It doesn’t matter how rich or successful a man is. If he doesn’t have an education, he’s got nothing.” First, I have a strict policy when it comes to people bragging about their kids' accomplishments. Let’s call it my Airport Standard. And I’m blessed with plenty of friends who qualify. And I’m genuinely happy for them when their kids do something bragworthy. Let’s be honest about that. Most high school graduates in America go on to get some degree or other now....

Homecourt Disadvantage

And I hate that shit. I gave up local sports talk years ago because of how toxic and negative it was. But alas, here we are. Maybe Im just old and grumpy now. But the losses are simply more compelling to talk about. You dont need a second Holy shit what a win blog, weve got that covered. Needless to say, Im a little more fired up and aggro to weigh-in following losses than wins....

Incredible Thread Details All Of The Times The Fast And Furious Franchise Ignored Logic, Physics, And Reason As They Left Reality In The Dust And Just Did Whatever The Hell They Wanted

Somehow, some way we’re getting the 10th installment of the franchise this Friday. There’s also very little reasoning in front of us to believe that will actually be the end. $1,000 seems fair considering all the cash these guys have brought in since 2001. Keep in mind 9/11 is younger than this still very much running series of movies. It’s well worth the run through. First we start with the famous rope swing....

Kia Drivers Are The Biggest Threat To Society

I was recently made aware of a phenomenon that makes my blood boil: Milwaukee’s Kia Boys. Over the past couple years, these rapscallions have been wreaking havoc on budget vehicles produced in Korea. Thus, we are 50 times better than Korea at stealing cars. It’s like how I drive when I play any of those car racing video games. No idea whatsoever on how to keep things smooth. Some guy made this video explaining it all, which is very long and boring....

The Celtics Game 1 Loss Can Best Be Described As A Collective Failure In Essentially Every Possible Way

If Game 1 of the ECF felt rather familiar, there’s good reason for it. We really had one poor quarter that hurt us. “It was strictly from a physicality standpoint. It wasnt anything different that they did. They just came out and imposed their will. Joe: We won three out of the four quarters. We lost one quarter because we dropped our sense of urgency. It was the exact same shit....
