    I work with a K9 search and rescue team now and then. The team is very good at going deep into the woods looking for missing and/or dead people on scent trails that are sometimes over 24h old.

    One of the ladies used a black tactical rig full of pouches. But instead of gun stuff it held gps devices, radios, dog treats, toys, water, collapsible bowls and a dozen other things for her and her dog.

    So we geeked out for like five minutes over how useful it was. It’s a Condor Ronin Rig if anyone is curious

      a K9 search and rescue team

      Do American police seriously use this fun little pun for their dog units? Because it always sounds to me like they’re sending in a team of clunky robots.

        Blame the US military in WW2 who started the first US canine unit, they love acronyms and just shortening shit in general. It stuck and came to civilian America.

    That was the worst batman movie. Full of plot holes and foolish decisions. This comic was better.

      That was the worst batman movie.

      dubiously

      Worse than Batman & Robin?

      I mean, yes, everyone’s got different preferences and all, but…

        Batman & Robin, though terrible, at least looked nice. Good colour palette and cinematography. Good set design and special effects. Decent acting all round. It’s clearly harking back to technicolour Batman. It was schlock but that was clear from the outset. There was no hope of it ever being anything but a movie to kill an hour and a half. I’d watch it with my 8 year old gladly.

        This travesty was made by one of the (supposed) best directors of his age (not evidenced by his largely awful movies, which are pompous style over substance) but it was a mess from start to finish. Poor casting, poor dialogue apparently written by a 12 year old, numerous ridiculous plot points. Batman was barely in the movie, apart from the lengthy and ridiculous broken back scenes. It was basically a movie about Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character.

        It was the stark opposite of the classic that preceded it.

      If this were the movie version of Bane, his dialog would read as, “Mmmph mm-mmph, mmph.”

    Would make more sense if it was two female characters.

    Plus, the oligarch already has a utility belt.
