Everything from lighting, settings, characters, viewing angles, pace and even the absurdity of 47 walking around with a billboard sized bar-code tatoo'd right there where everyone can see it... these guys nailed it. The use of weapons and lethal extras really gave 47 all the attributes of both new players and the more experienced. Yes, it was good to see that they had him go ballistic at a couple of places just for the fun of it :) At most other times it's about stealth which fits the Silent Assasin like a glove. The girl is a nice addition also which lends to the imagry of a guy so isolated from emotion. By putting a touch of romance in their and then playing it the way they did it really brought out a depth of character that on one hand makes for a deeper story line but also marks a huge difference between 47 and that other "numbered" assasin that's been working for the british secret service since we first heard the names "Q" or "Moneypenny". I'm really looking forward to a Hitman 2 movie. More so than I ever looked forward to another Bond or Indiana Jones... or even Lord of The Rings. Did I mention that the plot was really good?

Park Tool CBW-1 Open End Brake Wrench 8.0 10.0mm Nickel Plated Wrench Small
Jun 10, 2020
Good Value, Tight Tolerances, Wish They Made a Boxed-Only Companion Version.
Well made, tight tolerances.These are so tight that you might need to take a file to them if the nuts/hubs you are working with are also dead-on. I prefer the material being there to remove than not. RC hardness is likely in the mid 50s so any decent file should work if you need to open them up a little - not so hard they chew up nut corners without you noticing you're not fully seated when you crank away absent-minded. Perfect carry and/or shop wrench for most bikes' brake and front derailleur adjustments.I'm a fan of Craftsman's mini wrench sets but carrying four of those (2x 8mm plus 2x 10mm) Vs. one of these and just 2 of the Craftsman wrenches, yeah, I'll choose 3 wrenches over 4 any day. Maybe I'll get a second of these and carry just the 2 Park wrenches. They're dead-on with the Craftsmans in thickness. I wish Park made a companion 8mm/10mm wrench with two boxed ends (for non-bike uses). Still, can't complain, it's a good value in today's world of ever more cheaply made tools. Good luck out there, everybody!
Speck - Presidio ULTRA Case for Apple iPhone 7 and 8 - Terracotta/Asphalt/Field
Aug 13, 2019
Can't be beat for the price
Thinner than the Otterbox Defender by about 2mm, strong, somewhat grippy, tight fit on an iPhone 8 (not plus), outer shell can be removed for accessory attachments like clip-on lenses. I like the Field Grey/Terracotta Red/Asphalt Grey better in person than the online pics - it's much more subdued, lighter in tone, almost looks like a military "field" color combo and the terracotta is a very muted orange. The belt clip is nice, takes a little getting used to but is light weight and durable. I've been putting this through the paces about 2 weeks now and love the combo. It doesn't come with a screen protecting film or glass but I carry my phone screen-in in the belt clip attachment (camera facing out) so in my usage only a very unlucky drop would touch it. The mute switch knob is functional and its operation depends on orientation when you fit the outer shell. I like it and it looks cool, works well and gives the overall package a vibe that there's something extra going on. I feel my phone is well protected in this case. There's NO F'N WAY I'd carry an iPhone with a glass front and back around without a case - naked, they look cool and feel awesome and I miss that but this Speck Presidio Ultra gives it another, though slightly different, cool vibe of its own - oh, and it doesn't scream "STEAL ME!" which is a major plus. It might not be the ultimate case but for $15 it can't be beat. If it breaks in 1-2 years (which I doubt it will) I'll buy another if I can find one by then.
