https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daQmj6a-wo8 -- more submarine youtube, new SSK sub launched by Russia... not sure about
the "invisible to radar" claim, especially if it's fully surfaced, but I liked the drum majorettes they had during the
launch

The tradition of crushing coins on the rail track was an interesting tidbit.

stranger than fiction, I know that the TSA and CBP basically take a "you're in mah house, B*TCH" when
you're going thru the boarder, but exactly HOW did this guy warrant a Tactical Terrorism Response Team"

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/1 ... guarantee/ -- from what I've been following of
this, REALLY not been a good year IT-wise for UK banks' uptime...

https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-ma ... resh-hell/ -- much as I have a hateon
for FaceBorg... a fascinating read into what's been going on behind the curtains there.

Can't say I'm following GoT there Zyrex. Dunno if anyone else is

Just got out of Captain Marvel... on it's own, I didn't hate it, but I didn't think it was [insert superlative here].
Compared to Wonder Woman, I know the two characters are fundamentally different -- Wonder Woman was
about love and hope, Captain Marvel was a bit all over the place, but her final line of "I don't have to prove anything
to you" did resonate. I also found it interesting that instead of doing her origin in a linear fashion, Captain Marvel
dropped you into the action and flashed you back. Brie Larson's sass and humor bits were definitely enjoyable,
and I think she's got good chemistry with Samuel L Jackson.
