The soundtrack is pretty awesome, too. Gave me Peaky Blinder vibes.

Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole - Netflix

Posted by Adajax on 3/28/26 at 12:57 pm
Not sure if any of you are fans of Jo Nesbo's series of books featuring detective Harry Hole but Netflix has a 9 part series out now. It's a pretty solid Norwegian noir detective show. It's based on the 5th novel in the series, The Devil's Star. The casting is pretty good outside of Rakel who doesn't fit the book's character. Anyway, I recommend the series whether you've read the series or not.
Don Knott's The Reluctant Astronaut was bettrr than a few on that list.

I thought we were going to remove all NIL from MBB and give it to football.
And if Wade doesn't meet everyone's expectations? The sequel is rarely as good as the original.
The media subtly makes this seem like standard chaos as a result of the Trump administration. Had the GOP shutdown funding they would be getting crucified 24/7 on every news outlet and talk show. It would be a loud and constant drumbeat accentuated by tear-jearking stories of people not being able to get home for mother's funeral or little Johnny and Janey's once in a lifetime vacation to Disneyworld being destroyed.

Eurail for getting around Europe

Posted by Adajax on 3/23/26 at 7:29 am
Has anyone ever used Eurail to get from place to place? I'm thinking of getting the 7 day pass and just winging it.

Here's the plan. We already booked 10 days in Ireland. This may be our last trip to Europe and the missus wants to see Paris and Switzerland. So the thought is to fly to Paris, get a Eurail pass and just go wherever we want for a week. The 7 day pass is only $292/pp. Just wondering if anyone has done it and the pros and cons.

So if a wife is even and a husband is odd they can't fly together?
