South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Said “most”
Tombstone is hit-&-miss, but I do like Holiday actually looks like he has TB, though the accent grates me (supposed to be from Georgia, where Doc was from). Still, overall quite enjoyable.

Ghost in Darkness!! He’s good in that, but most go: “What?”
I HIGHLY recommend you find it! It’s based on a true story & actually reasonable faithful to the way the story has been passed down (Though, that isn’t isn’t exactly accurate to the real events, it is how it was reported at the time. It undercuts the part certain natives played.)

Saint: I enjoy it, but I say his performance is uneven, to the point of annoyance (“He was THIS close!”- Dick Smart)
The original show (with future Bond Roger Moore) was better.

 

Apocalypse now was 1979 but that was helicopters.. not planes

 

TV show ...
Love it!
Actually based on the 214, but highly fictionalized.

(I am/was a trained historian, with close family actively involved in film & TV production. So, I am a bit opinionated & forgiving to both where they overlap. I see both sides, & understand compromises for the story, but HATE changes where the real history is much better & more interesting.)

 

Now that I have said operation dumbo drop.. I wanna see it .. lol

 

If you like planes, I highly recommend “Air America” & “Always.”

My all-time favorite movie:
Grand Prix (1967)
Filmed during the 1966 season & featuring a mix of actors & fake race cars blended so well with the real thing, most can’t tell the difference. Real race footage blends seamlessly with staged stuff.
The footage set a challenge that real broadcast sought to emulate. But, they shot it with real panavision cameras mounted on real race cars & a Ford GT camera car (driven by the guy that won the 1966 Le Mans in a Ford GT (Chris Amon).

Also, money from that movie helped found the McLaren F1 team, who raced it’s inaugural F1 season as the fictional Japanese Yamura team.

 

Good luck with that.

 

I know it won't work for long but I just feel like kids are growing up too fast and losing their imagine and how to entertain themselves without technology...and no im not one of those holistic approach people that doesn't vaccinate lol I just feel the newer generations are growing up so fast they forget or miss the opportunities to develop and become young adults.. it's like the moment they are able to type on YouTube they become instant adults and question everything instead of developing their own thought process.. OR it's just cause my stepsons both have ADHD, anxiety and defiant behavior

 

Second this. Our girls won't have their own devices for as long as I can help it. Also, our phones on lockdown. My niece and nephew spend most of their time in parents or grandparents phones or tablets and they're 5 and 8. They should be outside.

 

Haha I was thinking for academics.

Schools, sports teams, class projects, youth organizations, field trips, teacher assignments/class syllabus/homework and learning/studying/reference. They ALL use apps now- even in elementary school. Both my kids began having assignments, using various apps while in elementary school. And yes- even you tube. Teachers even post their own short YouTube/Vimeo videos for student homework. This started back in 2013 for my oldest son.

 

Well I don't mind my son using technology as a resource.. but not games.. but I don't think I'll have to worry yet.. he is only 2 weeks old. What im more concerned with is my two stepsons influence my son and cause him to become addicted

 

Agreed. Hopefully Fortnite will be gone by then!

 

My stepson a aren't even allowed to play that. It's shocking how young kids are playing that. My wife is a kindergarten teacher and she has kids that can't read have developmental issues but come to school talking about playing fortnite.. like what are parents doing?

 

That is a great question!

 

The Leap pads and stuff like that are good. That's the only "gaming" device my daughter has or we have in the house. We watch some TV but that's about it just get them outside as much as possible and channel that passion in them more than hanging out at home all day. Get out and explore make going to the park or other activity where they can meet friends and play a normal thing. They will need it and the more that you can teach them to use it the better but just limit it and only allow access to certain things. I took off all games on my phone don't play them anymore if you want them to do certain things you have to walk the walk too. Teaching them things in moderation.

 

Bingo!

 

Is it Thursday yet? (read: my Friday)

I believe the time has finally come to replace the upper control arms. How susceptible to wear are the lower control arms compared to the uppers? I know the uppers obviously wear quicker due to having a lift, but I'm wondering if the lowers are as important to replace as the uppers.

 

They are connected so I would say they wear the same. The uppers don't wear anymore because or a lift.
