He also directs Hap and Leonard, a pretty great show from an amazingly great series of books by Joe Lansdale. He also directed Cold in July, another Lansdale book to film, which was also great. Check ‘em out.

As someone who is not a public figure and does not use Twitter (nor will ever), don’t agree that every public figure should get a Twitter account to prevent people from impersonating them on Twitter. I just think that if you decide not to engage in some bit of social media, you shouldn’t be forced to (even in a small…

Been hit with plenty of racquetballs but the only time I ever got hit by a racquet was when I hit myself. I’ve dinged my non-hitting forearm plenty of times and spun my racquet up into my teeth once, trying to dig a ball out of my stomach. Had to go see my dentist for that one.

Poor choice. Canning Jurgen is a mistake; hiring Arena compounds that mistake. We are years away from being a power in international soccer. Jurgen had us on the right track big picture-wise. Arena will not move us forward and may undo some of the good work done in the last few years.

Terrible, terrible, decision and even worse timing in the run up to the WC.

This might be an unpopular take but I think Klinsmann is fine and has done remarkable things with our program. We have to face facts that we are still a young nation when it comes to soccer. Unfortunately, America has no place in it’s heart for mediocre, pretty good, fair performances. We want to win NOW and win ALL…

Every person he namechecks in this speech makes me vomit.

I disagree that it’s a down Premier League year. Lots of competition in the top half of the table. Plus, it’s too early in the season to say that it’s a down year. Barely started, really.

Beets are amazing food! Roasted with some five spice on them, they are awesome. Also, only the red ones do that to you, the golden ones don’t. I love how ugly the red ones are, then you peel them and they are this gorgeous color, so gray on the outside, so red and glorious on the inside.

Okay, thanks! I stood BSO for a couple of years, so my knowledge is not as deep as yours in that area. I moved to COW eventually as a senior second class and then as a first class. I was simply trying to be circumspect in an area which I was uncertain what was classified and what was not. Just being safe rather than…

Whatever, clown.

It’s up there in the Ahhnold pantheon of greatness. No Commando but still pretty great.

Usually, you detect aircraft at or near the surface either by visual through the scope or electronically from their radar emissions. If the aircraft were using a dipping active sonar and/or dropped sonobuoys, you could detect them with the boat’s sonar, depending somewhat on environmental conditions. If the area was…

Submarines use their top sounding sonar to find polynya; the thinnes part of the ice. That is the part they will surface through if wanted/needed. Maybe submarines. It says that the aircrew didn’t detect any but that would be normal if the boat was trying to remain undetected once they clocked the aircraft. Former sub…

Of course they did, it’s awful. Why did they wait so long?

I play Disc Golf; great sport but little to no interest in watching it on tv. Related- it is a far better sport than ultimate, especially if you’re old and semi-fat.

Great article and this guy is way cooler than some Youtube “celebrity.”

He should have his agent contact some Championship teams. He would have to take a hit on wages and would be in the Champ instead of the Prem but it’s still England and much more on the radar of Prem teams if he performs well than if he goes back to Russia or some other place.

That picture. Ugggh.

Way to strain for profundity, Magary! Good stuff today! Finished The Hike BTW; solid 4 out of 5. Love the lady giant; so polite.
