I like the Jack Ryan series. The first year was great..I'd say this second one is pretty good..it seemed a little short to me but worth checking out IMO

Everytime I see the guy that plays Jack I expect to see Dwight Schrute jump out from somewhere.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I finally saw the movie "1917" tonight. OMG! It was at once epic... majestic... raw... emotional (even heart-rending)… riveting... and the cinematography was utterly phenomenal. I'm a movie buff...so I like to lose myself in movie... but that doesn't mean I'm necessarily impressed by a lot of them.This one though left me gobsmacked. It was everything that a great movie should be.  And, it really deserves a "big screen" (I think it would lose a lot of impact viewed at home)... so if you haven't seen 1917 yet, I highly recommend you do so soon as I think it must be on the very tail end of its theater run.

Two. Thumbs. Waaaay. Up.

I agree, it was very good. One of the very best I've seen in this awards season.

My wife and I managed to watch all 9 Academy Award best picture nominees this year-a bit of a slog trying to fit them all in before tomorrow's awards.  We don't go out to that many movies, but made it a quest this year.

Oddly enough, 1917 was less violent than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joker, and Parasite.  And the opposing sides got along better than in Marriage Story.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
