In areas of intense mountain combat (for example, the Alps in WWI), were intentional avalanches ever a part of anyone’s tactical doctrine in any meaningful way?

Oh I’m aware of what they are, just wasn’t sure if this would fall under their purview

I forgot how fucking good fully flared was. The Spike Jonze M83 sequence was so sick and Mike Mo’s part was awesome

This makes a lot of sense, thank you. Would this be the ACOE in the US or something different?

What's Your TVSeries Mt. Rushmore?
 in  r/thesopranos  1d ago

I think part of Lost’s problem when it comes to its current legacy is that it’s not a good show to binge and its popularity has shrunk because of that. It’s got an insane amount of episodes for the type of show it is - they did 121 episodes over 6 seasons and a show like that today is getting 60-72 tops - and leads to a lot of filler and dragging. I think lots of people are also turned off by the (seemingly) difficult to interpret ending and the knowledge that it left a lot of unanswered questions that has entered into sort of general pop culture knowledge.

I say that as someone who loves the show. Nothing has ever done character development so well. I just think that it just needs to be ingested in smaller bites than people would like these days, and that people don’t want to invest that much time and energy in something with a reputation for not having a complete payoff.

If we had won 43 straight against you guys I’d love you too lol

In all seriousness, it’s a fun hate, nothing like how I feel about Army, which is also fun but in a very different way

I also think changing the name from Redskins but keeping a logo with red skin is counterproductive

Now that MSW can be watched on big screens in high resolution, has anyone else noticed Landsbury/Fletcher's lipstick being overdrawn without using any lip liner underneath? I get the feeling since TVs were 27" back then, did she figure it "wouldn't read" on TV?
 in  r/murdershewrote  1d ago

There’s a season one episode (I don’t remember which one, just that it’s pretty early in the season) where Jessica is chasing someone and she has to hop on the back of a motorcycle and tell the rider to “follow that car” and I swear to god the stunt double is a 6’+ tall man in a cheap wig who looks absolutely nothing like her. It’s very funny, but I think it’s the same idea as the makeup and lots of other choices made on the show - this wasn’t the kind of thing that showed up on screen back then, or at least it wasn’t noticeable enough to worry about

Jeff Winger, did you know that you’re gay?

No.

Agree to disagree.

Hypothetically, you’re the Austrians trying to take higher ground from the Italians. Would intentionally shooting artillery above them to trigger an avalanche to bury them be something that was considered or implemented on any scale? Or triggering one to disable a resupply/evac route? On the one hand it seems like an obvious tactic, on the other it also doesn’t seem like something that would have necessarily been predictable enough to try to do regularly, given the supply situations when you’re that high up/cut-off from your supply base

Also interested in other areas/operations/wars, the Alps were just the first thing that came to mind

My guess is Michael Rooker. He was credited in the robbery episode despite not being actually shown and he’s a big enough name that you wouldn’t miss him in the background

I’ve had the same thought about parents having to identify they’re mangled kid after a car wreck and having the coroner peel back the sheet and the only identifying feature is a tattoo of someone pissing in their mouth, and the parents just nod softly and then burst into tears

Is there any chance Uncle Junior could still be alive today in 2025?
 in  r/thesopranos  2d ago

I don’t think so. I would imagine that a lot of those extended cases had a large support network and access to good healthcare. I think Jun would’ve gone downhill quickly

I will say that growing up in Massachusetts we had DQs but they were ice cream only. Used to confuse the fuck out of me as a kid because I’d see their commercials where they’d advertise burgers but the one a town over from me didn’t carry food. I don’t think I’ve ever had their food
