A John Wick anime prequel film is in development at Lionsgate.
  • Eh, I can go either way on this. If the writing is great, and the story lives up to the legend, I'm interested. If it's going to be a half-assed cash grab, then the world is better without it.

    Prequels can be good, if there's a good story to tell:

    Rogue One
    Prey
    Better Call Saul
    XMen First Class The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

  • First! Who can recommend a set of tools/equipment to start woodworking with limited space?
  • What sort of woodworking do you want to do?

    How much space is "limited space"?

    Either way, any tool kit should include:

    -Cordless drill
    -Circular Saw
    -Hammer
    -Philips Screwdriver
    -Flathead Screwdriver
    -Ratchering socket wrench
    -Channel lock wrench
    -Adjustable wrench
    -Needle nose pliers
    -Standard pliers
    -Diagonal cutting pliers
    -T-square
    -Level
    -Measuring Tape
    -Sanding blocks
    -Pocket knife
    -Putty knife -Rags
    -Drill bits and screwdriver bits for drill
    -Socket sets for drill or ratchet

    Most of these hand tools can fit in a toolbox, and the power tools won't take up a ton of space.

    For the power tools, you want something reliable, but do not feel the need to break the bank. I'm partial to Milwaukee brand tools, but I've also used DeWalt, Makita, and Ryobi, and cheaper brands I wouldn't recommend. Ryobi is on the cheaper side, but I have had good luck with their tools. I prefer cordless, but a corded option is cheaper and probably more reliable if you have a good workspace and plenty of outlets.

    For the hand tools, cheap Harbor Tool stuff is probably OK to start. When they break, that means you're using it enough to justify getting a nice one. You can also surf your local Facebook groups for free tools people give away sometimes, or check your local Goodwill shops. Used tools can be worn down or broken, but most of the time it's just old.

    Second-level woodworking power tools you shouldn't buy until you need one:

    -Jigsaw
    -Orbital sander
    -Router
    -Biscuit joiner or Planer
    -Rotary tool (dremel or similar)
    -Reciprocating saw
    -Impact drill or driver
    -Dedicated screw gun
    -Nail gun (and compressor) -Angle Grinder (mostly for metalwork)

    Larger items that take up space:

    -Saw horses
    -Workbench and Toolboxes
    -Table saw
    -Routing table
    -Drill press
    -Band Saw
    -Planer
    -Compressor
    -Ladders

    Hand tools for specific tasks (buy when needed for a project):

    -Paintbrushes
    -Hand planer -Tin snips
    -Rubber mallet or specialty hammer -Drywall tools
    -Tiny screwdrivers
    -Allen wrenches/keys
    -Pry bars
    -Clamps

    Edit: I almost forgot safety gear.

    -Work gloves
    -Safety glasses
    -Ear muffs -Dust mask -Hardhat and reflective vest (if you're working on job sites)

  • Is Musk's $1m-a-day cash giveaway to US voters legal?
  • I was going to do that, but I don't want my phone number and email on a Musk list. Like, what is he going to do with it? Am I going to get a visit at my house? Are they going to check if I have Harris signs up and then try to sue me for breach of contract? Will the Jan 6th militia get my phone number to try to recruit me for the next terror attack? If I win the $1 million, are they going to expect political donations?

  • Amy Adams Says Henry Cavill ‘Was a Brilliant Superman,’ Reacts to Rachel Brosnahan Taking Over Lois Lane: ‘She’s Gonna Be Great’
  • Cavill was a great Superman casting, but Margot Kidder will always be the Lois Lane standard for me. Amy Adams is a good actress, but she never seemed to fit the role in my mind. I didn't buy her as the hard-nosed, street-wise investigative reporter gone looking for trouble.

  • Will you participate in Secret Santa this year?
  • You're right. In the early days, people would take the time to make sure all participants got flaired. It would be a full day, and there might be 100 comments. Eventually, it became too big, and each thread had 1,000 comments within five minutes. You can't know 1,000 people personally, and taking the time to upvote all of them was impossible.

  • Will you participate in Secret Santa this year?
  • I miss the flair threads. It was one thing to have people pick flair based on your username, but having flair that was based on an inside joke or some notable conversation made it feel like Cheers.

  • apnews.com Missouri executes a man for the 1998 killing of a woman despite her family’s calls to spare his life

    A Missouri man has been executed for the 1998 fatal stabbing of a woman despite calls by her family and the prosecutor’s office that put him on death row to let him serve out the rest of his life in prison.

    Missouri executes a man for the 1998 killing of a woman despite her family’s calls to spare his life

    “Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

    I met Tim Walz at an event

    That man shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye, and said with a smile, "It's really nice to meet you." I am, in fact, incredibly unpleasant. WHAT ELSE IS HE LYING ABOUT?!

    I'm ready to be hurt again!

    Look, we're obviously not the best team. We have significant flaws, and Embiid cannot carry this team by himself.

    But how can you not be hyped after watching Batum raining threes and Tobias on the bench? Embiid took his time getting it together, but he got it done when it mattered.

    We can beat the Knicks. We can beat anybody if we play our best.

    Maybe we don't. Maybe we lose again and everybody starts thinking about next year.

    But we are still in this. The Philadelphia 76ers still have a chance to show the world what they can do as a team. So let's get hyped and enjoy the ride!

    A "Healthy Amount of Cheese" is always an Unhealthy Amount of Cheese.

    I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

    Hulu sucks. How are you watching the game?

    Basically title. I'm curious how others are watch the game. I cut cable a long time ago, and have Hulu live for this season, but it's just awful. Their app sucks, the unskippable ads are all over the place, and tonight it started recording at 4:30.

    So what is everyone else using?

    Can flies recognize that I'm holding a flyswatter?

    Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

    Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?

    So, Five Centers, huh?

    Anybody else want to see all five on the court together and just have them make a giant wall around the paint? No? Alright, me neither then.

    So what the fuck is Morey doing?
