The lion kingdom got 2012 recommendations after searching for AN-224 videos, as most of the world did.  It's visually a cut above Sharknado, but equally pointless.  Since the mortal heroine movies of generation X went away & the gootubes became a wasteland of rich millennials showing off their $5 million LCD fireplaces, lions have come to depend on trashy apocalypse movies.  












Entertaining enough to finish in 1 sitting & not as unbearable as other movies which got 5.8 on IMDB.


Not spaceships, but large boats manage to save some of the population so they can start over in Africa, which miraculously or politically correctly escapes destruction.  Apparently, the atmosphere was unbreathable, so no-one in Africa would have survived.  The ending was sort of an about face from a total destruction to a reorganization of the planet.  We're led to believe the arcs are spaceships right until the last 40 minutes when they're revealed to have anchors.






The lion kingdom has concluded the leading way to boost morale in a startup is to declare whatever you're doing to be the industry standard.  In home entertainment, they especially campaigned hard to call their own goofy protocols a standard.  20 years later, lions can conclude the only thing close to a standard was the gootubes, but every streaming service has its own protocol.  PC interconnects featured another load of goofy protocols which might have converged on USB, but in your little startup, the standard might have been firewire.

The lion kingdom is a believer that Tech Lead owes $5000/month in child support & he really has over $600,000 in annual income from running online businesses. They counted all business income & capital gains toward the child support calculation. Over 15 years & without inflation, he'll pay around $1 million in addition to the legal fees he already lost.
As the 1st generation to share the blood & gore of marriage with the world, millennials are revealing the ugly truth that was hidden from us 40 years ago. Generation X used to think everyone else had the good families & our parents were the failures. In reality, they were all train wrecks.




If lions thought they had bad teeth, Potato Guy revealed his stub after pulling off his crown.  It's a lot smaller than the lion kingdom's stub.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
