I was just reading an interview with the creators. Here's a gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/arts/television/cobra-kai-finale-creators.html?unlocked_article_code=1.x04.962p.KTp6v0GdBNEO&smid=url-share Pertinent part:

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.

I actually think it's pretty widespread because enforcement is rare, I suspect that is within the martial arts world, too. You really have to be very blatant to get caught, so I suspect most don't expect there will ever be any repercussions.

Sorry Bob. That's tough news.

We're good. Thanks all.

Finally got the 17th Moriarty the Patriot book from the library!

Congrats on reaching 1,000 posts! Thank you for all of the contributions that you have made over the years, KarateKen.

Congrats!

Thanks KarateKen, Zaine, and Bob! That means a lot. Things are progressing, but the fires still aren't at 100% containment. The Eaton Fire is at 89% and the Palisades Fire is at 63%. Right now, we are forecasted to have some rain this weekend and that would be amazing both for the fires and for air quality.

Hey all, If you're in Southern California like me, you may be dealing with the wildfires. Just wanted to start a thread for any members in the region. Hope you're doing alright. We evacuated on Wednesday night, after our apartment was put in the warning area for the Sunset Fire. We returned Thursday afternoon and all is well here. We're very fortunate, but know folks who were not. I'm including a picture of the fire from our apartment. Stay safe, Patrick

Ouch.

Finished. Super entertaining. Really twisted the knife at the end.

Thanks for starting this thread, Ashley!

Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill's Still Game, Book 1, which is a comic adapter of some episodes of the Still Game TV show.

I recently was turned onto this app called Too Good to Go. Basically, the premise is that bakeries and restaurants in your area can put together bags of random, assorted goods that are left over, and sell the bag at a reduced rate. You don't know what you are getting specifically, though you have a general idea (like "pastries," or "boba drinks"). They say this can help reduce food waste while, at the same time, saving you some money on food. I have been surprised at the availability in smaller areas, not just in major cities. You use the app to find a place, book a bag and pay for it, and then you have to show up within a specific window to collect it. I've used it for bagels! Thought it was pretty cool, so wanted to share: https://www.toogoodtogo.com/

Happy New Year!

Wow! Amazing guess!

Santa Claus Has Had Enough of Christmas by Dominic Lewis.

We've only watched the first 2 episodes so far! Very much into it.

I don't think they are *all* awful, but Uncle Frank sure is. It's funny you mention that about their wealth, @Zaine, because this interview with Chris Columbus just came out, and I was reading it this morning: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/home-alone-parents-jobs-chevy-chase-meeting-chris-columbus-1236093423/

A recent addition to my list: Violent Night.

Thanks for mentioning it, @pandaGIRL, and for answering, @Zaine.
