Welcome to My Mortuary (ending)

I grew up watching this movie and even as a kid I always enjoyed it but as the older I got I really grew to understand that it is not just a horror movie in the sense that is deals with zombies, monsters, living dolls, and ghost but that it is a horror movie in the sense that it deals with real life horrors such as police brutality, abuse, racism, and gang violence all of which still hold extreme relevant 22 years after the movie was released.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel in Books

Sep 12, 2017

A Dummies guide to understanding and quashing the worldwide drugs trade

What a fantastic book. Tom Wainwright manages to describe the global drug cartels as a business economic model which makes total sense. It is not just the violence and torture, it’s the revelations about the level of managerial stress. Running a drugs cartel, it seems, is not only a moral and legal minefield but a human resources, marketing and supply chain nightmare. The gang-centric tattoos that cartel foot-soldiers sport, were instigated to prevent staff jumping to another outfit or, worse, going straight.

Wainwright makes clear that those seeking to stop the drugs trade fail due to their insistence on treating it like a war, when they should treat it like a market manipulation. Such a clever book.

Pretty good for gaming

I have been using Discord for some time, and I have to say that this app helps me get together with my gang as we play games in different areas of the world. It's a free program with a paid option, and it's easy to create your own servers or to join others that interest you.

It should be noted that both text AND voice channels are accessible through the free version of the app. Also, Discord is accessible through your web browser, much like Telegram.

The paid service is called Nitro, and it runs $50 for a year or $5 per month. I've no information about how well this service works, but I intend to try it out and will update once I have done so.

The Heist

Den of Thieves- is a decent action heist thriller, its also very slow at many points throughout the movie, only when the action hits thats when the movie is good.

The Plot: Nick O'Brien is the hard-drinking leader of the Regulators, an elite unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Ray Merrimen is the recently paroled leader of the Outlaws, a gang of ex-military men who use their expertise and tactical skills to evade the law. O'Brien, Merrimen and their crews soon find themselves on a direct collision course as the criminals hatch an elaborate plan for a seemingly impossible heist -- the city's Federal Reserve Bank.

Gerald Butler, Pablo Schrieber and O'Shea Jackson Jr. are all good in this film.
