#1 Whatever Rosamund Pike did for “Gone Girl” was worth it. That movie still messes with my head. Such an amazing film.

hairytrigga
The Abrams isn't the only tank that can do that. The leopard 2 also does that.
AzgarOgly
Multifuel engines are requirement for tank design for decades. Even good old WWII T-34 was run on gas mixed with oil when they had no better
jessenator
The Abrams uses a multi-fuel engine design, a similar engine has been in use since the '50s. Gasoline requires motor oil to be added.
SchmuseTigger
If I compare the same HP engine in the Leopard 2, it uses about half the fuel, is not so loud and hot and can even run on vodka.. so..
SPECTREagent
The American M1 Abrams' engine can be fueled on alcohol alone. The Russian T-90's crew can be fueled on alcohol alone.
W92Baj
Multi fuel engines in military vehicles are not rare. Many trucks have them too, in many nations
dirtehscandi
Fun fact the M1 runs off of a gas turbine engine! Gas turbines have huge power to weight ratios so these applications are great for them

#6 An “extinct” volcano? So...it no longer around anymore? It has died off never to be heard from again? Or maybe “inactive” volcano??
BobsonDugnuttJr
Dormant?
iggyb101
All those 'facts' and it's the definition of an extinct volcano that gets you! (It's one that hasn't erupted for 10,000 years I think)
PhailRaptor
Can't speak to the source, but "extinct" is a very specific term in volcanology. Basically the magma chamber solidified, it's dead.
Smagalicious
Ahhh.... thank you. I am in computers and cryptography. Volcanology is out of my league. However, Vulcanology is right up my alley!

#2 Modern tanks are pretty much all multifuel. That's a very logical requirement. And not that hard to do with gas turbine engine.
AelitaS
And other diesel aircraft engines.
AzgarOgly
I cannot think of modern diesel aircraft engine, actually. Maybe there are some, but not much.
AelitaS
I know Continental Motors makes diesel piston engines for general aviation aircraft.
AzgarOgly
They do indeed. Though the solution is not that popular. Most of piston aircraft are still gas, ain't they?
AelitaS
Yup.

They are each one step away from the other in the refining process, ie: change in viscosity/volatility, except gasoline which is higher.
Shoujo
No
AzgarOgly
The composition is slightly different. Though these are pretty close.
QuietGiant
Jet fuel, kerosene, and diesel are all the same fuel prepared slightly differently. I'd be surprised if the same engine that runs them -
QuietGiant
- would also run regular unleaded without issue, though.

it is a turbine engine, it would run on ferret carcases if you blended them

What I don’t understand is how would it not boil out? Cast iron pot over fire? I’d think it’d be bone dry in a couple hours
Shamwowser
Well if you keep the temperature lower it'll stay warm but not boil out, then you'd heat it when you add ingredients so they cook properly
Shamwowser
Plus you add ingredients as you have them so adding water to it everyday to keep it from boiling out is something that's doable.

I heard that Michael Jordan is an absolute cheap ass. He won't spend his money on anything.
stoler202
Damn you people, tipping shouldn't even exist. The restaurant/casino should pay for it's own waiters.
Cr1spyEvergr33n
But that's a pretty common theme among incredibly wealthy people. You don't stay rich by spending that shit lol
usernamecheckingout
But tipping a $20 wouldn't break him, and would be appropes. Jordan is one of the richest pro sports players of all time. Worth $1 billion.
monkeymuffins
I'm not American, so I don't quite get the whole tipping thing, but isn't a $5 tip for bringing one drink a pretty decent amount?
SassyPiplup
$5 for a single drink is above and beyond. That usually gets you attention from the bartender for the rest of the night.
ToasterDent
It would be but they were both very rich men and the point of Vegas for rich people is to show off extravagantly.
usernamecheckingout
Also they are likely in the high roller area. Waitresses would be specified for that area as pro servers, tipping $5 would be an insult.
BreadyStinellis
$5 for one drink is a lot. I'm pro tipping and I think expecting more than 20% is rude on the servers part, I don't care how wealthy the
BreadyStinellis
Patron is. Even in Vegas that drink is max $20. $5 tip is more than enough.
Catsandbutts
That wasn't my point. All I'm stating is Michael Jordan is a cheap ass. He won't spend his money anywhere.
PhailRaptor
Anywhere else, probably, but in Vegas the drink would be ridiculously overpriced. Might be accurate tip rate.
thecesar3
Normally drinks are free in casinos if you're gambling.
Seethreepeeoh
hunerd buks fur a drank? Sounds not free to me. But it Was someone else's Johnny Cash, so yeah, free!
Timexican
They bring you the drinks for free the tip was entirely for the waitress not to pay for the drink.
itsmetherooferwhoisnowanurse
Yeah I think so. I don’t tip that much for a $20 meal

If the service is spectacular and friendly...I would...and I ain't rich.

Good, because tipping is as retarded as the imperial measurement system.

The system may be fucked, but not tipping won’t change that and people who work those jobs can make less than minimum wage without tips

In the restaurant biz the servers refer to black people as Canadians.

So for #1, is there a reason they couldn't shoot all the skinny scenes THEN shoot all the fat scenes? Or vice versa?

Most movies are shot out of sequence. Some of the best directors shoot along the script’s timeline to get the best performance possible.
