What is your opinion on Flock cameras?

Are you a kindergartner? That is not real food.

Dumb question here: is there a point where enough exercise makes you sleepy?

On nights when I play squash to the point of exhaustion, it is lights out almost before my head hits the pillow.

The housing crisis is a serious issue that requires zoning reform to fix.

Trump did not make those zoning laws; a coalition of oil companies, auto dealers' associations, insurance companies, and car manufacturers, in cooperation with the interstate highway builders, wrote them 70 years ago.

OK hold on a moment. The housing crisis predates Trump's presidency by many years.

The cause is the post-war wave of zoning reforms that made most types of housing illegal in the United States in an effort to usher in mass-motorization. See, e.g., parking mandates, single unit zoning.

We can’t do this. We do not have the technology.

camera ready is what you want it to be

you mean one decade? It says posted in 2015.

As well off but better dressed according to those numbers.

What does the author say that is wrong?

Why do they always put the crash barrier on the wrong side

Also, if you like video games, the game Uboat is inspired by the movie and recreates some of the scenes. It is available on steam and recently released on PlayStation.

Many actors were upset about their parts being cut, and the German TV stations made a deal to show the original series only on German TV.

Most fans prefer it to the movie, hope you enjoy!
December 23, 2025 at 4:18 PM
But they had to cut it down to 2+ hours from the 8 hours it was intended. This meant cutting out most material from the book and leaving in mostly action scenes.

You have a Das Boot banner on your account and never heard of the TV Film?!

When Wolfgang Petersen started sending footage back, it caught the attention of a Hollywood studio and they bought it before it aired.
December 23, 2025 at 4:15 PM
No, that’s the reboot. I mean the original Wolfgang Petersen TV series based on the book.

The TV film was supposed to be the format of Das Boot before Hollywood bought it and repackaged as a movie.
December 23, 2025 at 5:53 AM
Have you seen the "TV Film" version that aired on German television a few years after the movie?

Also, 3k+ is a crazy high indoor CO2 measurement. You must have been feeling the effects of that.

That only time I had a reading that high was in a tiny ski condo with 8 people.
December 22, 2025 at 6:13 PM
I don't understand, how is the oven producing CO2? If gas, it would emit CO; if burning off food, it would emit particulates.

Indoors, CO2 is usually produced by humans breathing. Where is yours coming from?

That’s me with vibe cooking. Mistakes were made, but I served far more and better dinners to my family than I would have been able to without the AI.

Probably this works better on the low end of the skill curve, where I was with cooking.

I think you got this one wrong
