@madrocketeer: Explanation please?

A Chinese startup just released an AI model that is faster and many times more efficient than current American ones. It's also open source, which means the tech bros' latest attempt to turn new promising technology into yet another get-rich-quick scheme may have just went up in smoke.

Last I checked, American tech stocks everywhere are tumbling. NVIDIA just lost half a trillion in market cap.

Just in time for Chinese New Year (Jan 29th) too. It's glorious.

The Craig era by comparison was abysmal with Spectre. The more I watch those movies the more I dislike them, barring Skyfall.

Why the hell are you rewatching them?

The most ironic post in human history.

To answer, I am a Bond fan, and pretty much always watch them chronologically.

Sometime my opinion will change drastically, such as (mentioned above) From Russia With Love, where the middle absolutely drags.

Goldfinger by comparison is a far more enjoyable movie, even though 50% of it is Bond in a jail cell.

This however doesn't really change with these Craig movies.

Even Die Another Day has sporadic fun parts, stupid shit like a car fight on a ice lake where he pops the hood to avoid a missile and casually murders him in a not very real looking ice base.

Looking forward to this. Has heavy cartoon Justice League vibes.

No more Zack Snyder edgy boy nightmare land.

Still baffled he got money to make Rebel Moon 1/2 and that people were actually hyped.

Your increasing, and increasing Netflix sub going towards that shit and The Rocks comedy adventures.

@uninspiredcup: Gonna give it a look-see. It'll be interesting to see Gunn's take. In the middle of Superman and Lois atm, and it's okay for a CW show (still a low bar).

Yes, CW tend to be hit and miss, mostly bad.

I remember watching Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as a kid and watching a few clips on Youtube it really nailed down the relationship aspect, I'm surprised this show and Dean Kane seem relatively forgotten.

Whenever think of Zack Snyders it's that weird as hell monotone scene where they get into a bathtub together like two zombies.

Just had a dream was in a desert with Elon Musk and he was using a child sized foot peddle rocket boasting about how it will fly into the sun. He had his top off with his weird belly and was complaining about it.

Always interesting the random shit that pops up that you forget about 5 minutes after waking up.

@last_lap: @uninspiredcup: After Mario and Sonic movies, there is a huge drop-off in popularity of these mascot type characters. Not saying a Crash Bandicoot couldn't work, but it definitely won't make the same kind of money that both Sonic and Mario did. And it doesn't help the fact MS botched the Halo show, so I doubt they’d do very well with doing anything with Crash.

I know Earthworm Jim died because of some legal issues (I think ownership conflict or something), which is a shame.

I think it'll come back one day.

I'm a little conflicted on this is one, is David Cage going to be involved and two, Ellen Page hit rock bottom so hard, I almost feel sorry for her. Not even her game won't make me come back to do anything with her.

I have been meaning to check out the PC version as it's still in my library for the past 3 years.

Was looking at a '25 Terrain, but damn interest rates are stupid. Decided to buy out my '21 which is still worth more than buyout. Has 30,000KM on the clock after 4 years so can drive this for a good while and definitely not miss the monthly payments.

@jaydan: Ha, love that movie.

UK beans are typically (for most of the population) tomato sauce from a can with sausage, chips (fries), egg etc.. breakfast stuff. Occasionally some folk may have it with very thin strips of bacon.

That looks a shit ton better. Diggin' the block sized fatty salty ass pork.
