Wasn't GameStop pretty much failing until the apes artificially inflated their stock?

Yellowbeard has a similar appeal for me.

Three O'Clock High is an all-time favorite. It's like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don't get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it's got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.

I have to admit that The Running Man may be my favorite.

Barbarian seems objectively better in a cinematic art kind of way, but Destroyer scratches an itch for...fun...that the first film does not. Though, I will say, parts of Barbarian are truly epic.

These same people see school shootings and just think kids dying is the price for their right to bear arms, and they don't care. I don't think many of them have the conscience left in their empty Godless souls to care about women dying needlessly if it means their doctrinal nonsense can be imposed on everyone.

It's the fear of losing everything that gives these people pause. I hope I'd do better in that situation, but I don't know what it's like to face losing everything you worked for in your life as well as your freedom.

The people to blame are the monsters who created these laws.

I'm looking to replace the HDD on an HP Pavilion dv 6 6130-us. It has an i-3 2330M CPU. I know it's old as dirt, but I'd like to use it to run old games. It's also the only thing I own with a CD drive.

I've upgraded the RAM to the maximum it will support (16 GB). I'm thinking an SSD will help it run a great deal faster, but I'm stuck on what to get. So far, the Crucial MX500 seems like a good choice, but I'm wondering if any semi-reliable cheap SSD will do for something this old. I have to stick with something with a 2.5 inch form factor that uses SATA. Thoughts?

 

I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?
