I grew up in Pennsylvania, and I have NEVER seen corn on a pizza until went to a Cici's in North Carolina. And even there, it was a weird thing, and they knew it.
#21 My friend doesn't understand. Could you explain this one for him?
I mean, I'd still also want a lightsaber. But not just a sword one. I'd want a set for my garage, starting much smaller. I want a regular one for cutting things like bushes and lumber, a chap stick sized one for finer materials, and a pencil sized one for finer mechanical work.
Because most people would kill themselves with it on their first landing. And even if you were GOOD at using it, it would still destroy your knees.
That's domestic. For domestic policy, he thinks he's a king. He doesn't need cover to do things in his Kingdom of America. But for international affairs, that's where his "strongman negotiator" needs to get its ego stroked. He expected Iran to capitulate, and he's mostly CONFUSED as to what's going on that they're not. This is also why he thinks that Ukraine should just give up to Putin, why NATO is redundant, and why capturing the president of Venezuela should have been an easy conquest.
Thing is, the Costco hot dog isn't JUST large and a good value. It's also a very good hot dog. You can get the same ones in a package, and they're even better with a little browning made at home.
The year this happened, my teenage sons Halloween costume was a blazer with fake $100 bills bursting from the pockets, a snorkel and mask, and a PlayStation controller. To the people that got it (most of them) it was a hit.
Friendly robots? Portable lasers? Fallout if we're lucky. So far, I don't think we're lucky, and if we're shopping for post-apocalyptic future worlds, I think we're more in line for The Road.
My first thought on that one, too. Cherries, ketchup, and black pepper do NOT sound like a good combination. But cherry peppers and ketchup very well might work. I almost wonder if this graphic wasn't created by AI because of that.
Porn is one of the few natural uses for generative AI. There aren't many other industries that demand *lots* of things with low requirements for accuracy, reliability, or repeatability, but ALSO that don't have much artistic or creative merit of expressing complex ideas. Financial and tech sectors require math to be ACCURATE, artistic enterprise requires feeling and thought. But porn... It just has to look mostly ok-ish, and have lots of it.
You CAN get regret out of them, but it's almost never REMORSE. They'll feel bad that they got fooled and they made a mistake, and even that's pretty rare. But it's far more rare that they ever reflect on WHY it was a terrible thing. They're still the victim in their fantasy where Trump tricked them.
I'm glad it got a show, because the show is fantastic, but I feel far too few people have seen this movie.
And it's not like 20A GFCI outlets aren't commonly available. I'm thinking, if this were up to code, then the 20A outlet would NOT be through that clearly less-than 20A GFCI, but it's still in a bathroom, which means it would need a GFCI breaker somewhere else. But, back to the original - why not just use a 20A GFCI? It's bizarre, no matter how you spin it.
Ah. I don't recall the Nolan trilogy having Selina with a roommate, but it's also been since the film was still pretty new that I've seen it.
As I understand, it's a very cheap thing to make. The hard work of filming porn is already done, you just need to dub or film a few brief lines of cheap dialog to make a "regular" porn into "incest" porn. There's no special sets or wardrobe of furniture or anything, it's just dialog. So they can reach that extra market (even if it's small) for almost no cost.
Kravitz would have been 22 or 23 for filming the Dark Knight Rises - that's way too young to play Miranda/Talia and probably too young for the story of Selina they went with. And the age gap between her and Bale was "only" 15 years. And I don't think there WERE any other major female roles in that film. Hell, the whole Nolan trilogy only has THREE major female characters total.
I could never find Alex's more expressive speech believable. He's almost hammy with it, like Shatner in the original Star Trek. Just a little too heavy-handed and over the top, and it stood out like a sore thumb because the rest of the cast was so grounded and seemed so PROFESSIONAL.
To be fair, the cable model is the "final" evolution of broadcast entertainment as a capitalist venture. In a capitalist system, EVERY form of mass entertainment is going to gravitate towards the piecemeal subscription model with injected advertisements.
Ok, so I'm a bit confused. Still fairly new to Costco, but loving it more every time I'm there. Is this like a "gotta get rid of it" box? Like my regular grocery store has a rack with discounted produce all mesh-bagged together. Odd looking or about to expire stuff. Is this that? Or is it really just the box itself?
That's what first stood out to me. It looked like the picture. Even in European McDonald's, they don't look THAT much like the picture. And, to be clear, the reason they don't TASTE great is NOT because of the way they look.
By all accounts, he SOUGHT OUT those "crazy" roles. He did a "Hot Ones" interview recently, and it seems like it was an intentional effort NOT to get typecast as Harry Potter. And he just enjoyed the artistic license and creativity that came with the weirder roles.
Same deal. We got my wife a pump, and our kids are about to graduate high school now. But once her process started, she was PRODUCTIVE, and she made more than enough. So, in re-heating it and storing it and all that, yeah, I got a few drops. Like you said, crazy sweet. I wouldn't say it was GOOD, though. It was a weird sweet, not something I'd consume again unless I, for some reason, had to.
I think he DID carry the one - and turned it into that dividing line.
I grew up on DOS, but Win 98 was when I was at peak "learning to build a computer" age, so it has a special place in my memory. But Windows as an OS, I think peaked around Vista. Now, Vista was BAD, but "best Windows" is 50/50 between XP and 7, Vusta ERA had the best Windows, but it just wasn't Vista.
Knoebel's doesn't work on the model of a "normal" theme park like Disney or Six Flags. It's an open PARK - like a city park or a national park. So long as you're not doing damage, you can do whatever you like. The rides and stands and attractions are just touristy/amusement things that JUST SO HAPPEN to be in this one area. You can just park your car and hang around all day for free.
I don't read or speak Japanese, but I kind of thought that "Koji Kondo" would have more "k"s in it.
Because Trump PERSONALLY is very, very stupid and knowing this would require both actually listening to this guy AND for him to have an ounce of analytical perspective. However, Trump's HANDLERS understand what is being said, and I fully expect a totally honest and justified investigation finds that this man is guilty of... crimes. Bad ones. For realsies. Yup.
HPMOR had a bit where he theorized if the "simple" transfiguration spell could produce antimatter. I don't think that JKR ever really put that much thought into her worldbuilding, and it shows.
Hans Zimmer is responsible for that jazzy, catchy theme, too. I mean, he was already pretty well recognized by this time, but it SHOWS. Such a quality show, all the way through. A little bit more nuanced and thoughtful than The Simpsons, but also lighter. I really loved it.
Man, I can't believe this movie is already 13 years old, it feels like it came out just a few years ago. She was such a big part of my childhood favorites. As a celebrity death, this hits harder than it should.
