i had a buddy who did some 2-3 day unsupported stuff on the southern portions of the a.t. a few years back. they were making their own packs, shoes etc. it was nuts.
from the article said:By Day 43, he had 151.5 miles to go and under 70 hours to do it in to beat Meltzer's record.
Over the following 2½ days, McConaughy managed one day at 40.7 miles and then a 37-hour push to the finish, covering 110.8 miles in the longest stretch of running he had ever accomplished. He ended up at the top of Mount Katahdin, the Appalachian Trail finish line, at 6:38 p.m. on Aug. 31. It was raining, hailing, and the winds were 70 mph, but he had done it , and set a speed record in the process.
Just started watching. It is very fascinating.Since this thread was just resurrected from the abyss, siap, anybody checking out Mindhunter.
The Boys was excellent and probably closer to the truth to how someone with superpowers would be.The Great Hack on Netflix is amazing
Just started watching the Family and wow that is some crazy stuff a couple episodes in
Finished, The Boys on Amazon Prime, loved it
Homelander was legit terrifyingThe Boys was excellent and probably closer to the truth to how someone with superpowers would be.
Yep and a complete sociopath. I was hoping someone survived the plane crash and ratted him out.Homelander was legit terrifying
Saw something similar several years ago. Straight-up interviews with both leaders and rank-and-file members of Aryan Nation and other similar groups. Interviews took place in the 1980s, I think. Just asked a few open ended questions, and recorded the responses without judgement -- only enough follow-up to get the subjects to continue talking.Recently watched White Right: Meeting the Enemy. A British journalist of south Asian descent (Deeyah Khan) went to meet the neo-Nazi racists from Charlottesville and interview them.
She did not treat them like sub-humans, she just interviewed them and asked them to explain their views.
In the process, she appears to have changed some minds. When forced to deal with a brown-skinned woman, the neo-nazi guys had to admit they did not hate her, they did not include her in their hatred. Interesting documentary.
I tried to get into this because several people told me how good it was. I gave it five/six episodes and just didn't get the hook.Peaky Blinders Season 5 is now on Netflix.
Season 1 seemed to really set the back story and line for the bad guys. And of course, it had Abbie Cornish. Season 2 just seemed like they "rushed" thru it?I just finished season 2 of Jack Ryan.
I was unimpressed to say the least. This season is set in Venezuela and nowhere near as compelling as season 1.
Does anyone have Disney +? You can get it free for 1 year with Verizon unlimited plans.
It's great if you like MARVEL films and Star Wars. Plus all the Disney and Pixar films and shows. The Mandalorian is good if you like Star Wars.
