Lots of history with this plane. Basically, this version of the radial engine and it's massive prop needed room for clearance. The US mostly dropped the carrier use of the Corsair during WW2 and favored the Hellcat for carrier ops. The Marines loved the Corsair because they were mostly island...
Devotion 6/10
Love the real life story, great book. Some parts are faithful, some for dramatic effect.
Majors and Powell are amazing, but the writing was clunky and and it was very by-the-numbers.
For the book, it's an absolute must read. Inspiring and gut wrenching at the same time.
The 13th Warrior. 6/10
I’m revisiting 90s movies that I’ve only seen once or not at all. I saw this on opening weekend and that’s all I can remember about it.

Be honest, but never cease. Unconditional love is a rare and valuable thing. If you want, I can give a relatable story. Wasn't my family, it was my best friends. I was there the whole time for several years. We spent hundreds of hours debriefing over whisky and beer and wasted the rest on...

When I moved out he frequented the grocery store I went to during my post high...
I think you are mostly right on. Since I want both consoles, I am considering getting the digital only version of the PS5. If I wanted only 1, I would hold out for the flagship.
The debacle in the PS5 was the short notice on when the pre-orders was live and that warning was only hours. I was expecting to get emailed on when the live date was. I don't go to each retailer to check on the news. I just happened to be watching a live stream of MP gameplay when someone...
After a lot of refreshes, button mashing, site crashes, carts emptied, I finally got a pre-order in for an X at Best Buy. Now I contemplate the expected hassle of a PS5 between now and the end of the year or just wait until next year.
There are some gremlins with the non-prime hybrid I want sorted out first. The big one is the 12v battery dying if the car's not turned on for a couple of days. The 12v powers the cooling fans for the hybrid battery packs to the point where the battery falls dangerously low for repeated...
