Reminds me of an Australian zombie flick called Undead from 2003:

Vic and Blood man… I thought I was the only one who remembered that one!

Did you know that it was originally a short story by Harlan Ellison and a FILM in 1975 before Corben worked it into a comic?

The film is notable for starring an IMPOSSIBLY young Don Johnson (25 or 26 at the time of production).

Dark Horse has been collecting all the Corben material as a series of REALLY NICE hardcover graphic novels, I hope they get a shot at Vic and Blood.

(Den volumes 1-5, Murky World, Dimwood, Rowlf, Rat God, and the forthcoming Last Voyage of Sindbad, Best of Fantagor)

I’d also say, if you like that, check out the less serious film “Six String Samurai”.

Very good adaptation of the manga “Lone Wolf and Cub” by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima written and drawn between 1970 to 1976.

It was hugely influential, spawning a number of films, notably two of which were combined into a single US release titled “Shogun Assassin” in 1980.

It would also serve as the basis for the graphic novel “Road to Perdition” by Max Allan Collins in 1998, which was also itself turned into a very good movie in 2002.

I kept my head down and worked through it, but yeah, it was scary. Lots of people saw their 401ks wiped out and I was like “First time?”

It will be a great time to invest in the stock market.

People forget the 2008 crash. In March, 2009, before Obama policy was passed, the DOW bottomed out at 6,547.05.

It’s currently at 49,704.34.

If you had invested in an index fund back then, you would have earned 7.59x your money.

“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

It largely depends on the employer. In the US, I’ve been paid weekly, every other week, and monthly.

As for overtime, again, it depends on the employer and the jurisdiction.

Some employers absolutely forbid overtime. Federal requirements state anything over 40 hours in a week is paid at nothing less than 1.5x the hourly rate.

But some employers, states, and industries have their own rules. I worked at a place that paid OT for anything more than 10 hours in a day, or 40 hours in a week and paid double time for anything after the 7th day in a row.

Depends on the name. Stark, Wayne, Rand, Kent are all actual human names.

“Von Doom” - Yeah, you’ll have problems.

Very rarely do I just listen to music, typically only when I’m driving.

Failed at the first line:

“Jonathan Kent becomes Spider-Man at 21”

After that it no longer matters if Clark or Lois are in character. Random crossovers aside, Spider-Man is not a thing in the DC Universe.

If you don’t like learning new things, then I guess the #1 question is “what are you familiar with?”

Right now, the easy entry points have been Ubuntu or Mint.

If you have money, I’d suggest a Steam Deck in desktop mode, but those are getting hard to find with the RAMpocalypse.

I’m against AI slop, but I can see it being used effectively as a creative tool to take the grunt work out of creative works.

For example, one of my aunts is a published author and she has taken to using AI as an editorial assistant.

In her words:

“Speaking of AIs, I’m using ChatGPT as a story editor, assisting me with matters such as voice, tone, structure, plotting, cadence, pacing, character development, etc. It’s like working with an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable human story editor. Better, because it’s free; a human equivalent would cost a lot, perhaps thousands.”

To be clear, she still does all the writing, ChatGPT is merely offering editorial advice. I could see providing it a text and asking it to show every case where tense is mismatched, or any shifts from 1st person to 3rd person, that kind of thing.

At that point is it really any worse than an advanced spell or grammar checker?

Life is too short to live in toxic environments, familiar or otherwise. Unfamiliar and promising all day, every day.

Last artist I found was because of tracks played on the Sirius Bluesville channel.
