Damn hadn’t realized they all wear red armbands… they’re not really trying to hide anything are they. Also that guy looks ridiculous.

It’s normal for people who are habitual lower speed runners, but would be a bit challenging for anyone who hadn’t trained / didn’t run regularly. When you factor in the kinds of dudes this agency will attract, it’s not exactly the “health and fitness” set.

I used to run regularly but mostly never ran faster than 10mins/mile and usually slower than that. To be fair I had some serious hills in the mix, but still.

Why…. Does ICE need “guided missiles”?

I don’t understand how this could ever seem like a reasonable choice, but hey I live in a country where they willing ran a dementia ward patient and then balked 6 months from the election, so I guess I can’t judge.

Ok but he’s only using it to make grok celebrity AI porn while on the go.

Closest thing I can think of might be something like insurgency sandstorm, which is pretty old at this point but is still receiving updates.

Squad/hell let loose are good, but are a different format entirely than why you’re talking about.

Battlebit was good for a bit but I get the impression that things have gone a bit haywire there.

Possibly battlefield 6 will be good, hasn’t been released yet.

You’re putting pretty good numbers on the board already. Also depending on what you’re reading, it might be excellent. Some books I rip through, others take me months.

Setting aside chill vacation times when I tend to get a lot of reading done, I’d say the two things that keep me moving through books are: I basically need it as a sleep aid so I almost always read before bed; sometimes I make it 5 mins, sometimes it’s hours, and slowly teaching myself that it’s ok to read multiple books at once, or to put a book not really vibing with down and maybe come back to it later.

If you’re really interested in increasing, you could try to make it a long habit, like read 15-20 mins at lunch or another time/task where appropriate.

Yea your version would be way more interesting. I mostly skip Prime because of the fun ads they’ve added but still dip back in once in a while.

Whole thing was amusing because my wife was down to keep watching but I was just like ehhh I can’t stand this.

I do think kitsch did a decent job given how horrible the show is, but it’s not enough to get me to watch more.

Bit of an acquired taste, but he was good in American Primeval on Netflix, of the revenant/western thing isn’t a deal Breaker. Also has Betty Gilpin who is usually pretty reliably good/interesting.

I watched the first ep. Because I think Tayloy Kitach is alright in a Keanu kind of way, and honestly he was as good or bad as I expected. But my god the show, the writing and all the brother shit sucks so bad. As soon as Chris’s Pratt shows up with his brother talk I was confident I would likely not continue.

Also it’s completely unrealistic—they show the seals NOT doing drugs and being worried about civilian casualties instead of doing night raids high on amphetamine and killing every human at or near whatever physical location they’re hitting. Totally cartoon and unrealistic, but they get points for including an elder hemsworth as a CIA ground branch guy, you know it’s operator time if that guy is in the cast.

But you are absolutely correct. They’re the ones wearing fake boobs on their truck face, it’s not your fault they don’t understand anatomy/analogy!

Amazing work, but can’t help but worry about the downsides of synthetically generated viruses being deployed…

Brilliant, thanks for the in depth analysis. Makes sense.
