Can anyone tell me about walking the full Appalachian trail if you live abroad or point me to a thread that covers it?

Ror posted:I totally get all of the actual safety legal stuff though. Me and my buddies bought some bar neodymium magnets off eBay in middle school and man did we almost destroy many various fingers and objects. If you kept them in an outside pouch of your backpack it would randomly grab onto lockers. When I was doing FIRST Robotics in high school we had to build a pole climbing minibot. I accomplished this with magnets. 6 of them. Each 1 cubic inch and each with a 94lb pull force. My hands were destroyed making the minibot and I didn't let anyone else touch it because it was loving dangerous. Magnets are not your friend, they will end you.

Does anyone know why the power here (NW Chicago Suburbs) seems to go out once a day for about three seconds?

Is it true that most people in airline first class probably aren't paying full fare? (They have some sort of corporate or club special discount, preferred customer etc)

(They have some sort of corporate or club special discount, preferred customer etc) This largely depends on the flight. Commuter planes are domestic M/F travel, very likely. International to Singapore, mostly $$. Airlines to run coupons and cut fares for 1rst from time to time.

helopticor posted:There's a list of 80s time travel movies here and another list with a good number of time travel movies here. If you'd remember a picture or the title, it shouldn't be that hard to find (assuming it was definitely a movie and not a TV episode or something). Also, I could have sworn there was a thread for names of movies you can't remember, but the closest thing in Cinema Discusso is their general question thread, but you might be able to post one in PYF. Oh hey, thank you. I never wander into CineD for some reason. I did do a brief scan but their version of this thread seemed to be slightly different in the way they do things. I found a likely suspect from one of those links you posted though. I think it was Time after Time. franco posted:There is - here Yay! Thank you. Powered Descent posted:Do you recall if the movie involved midgets? Because after reading that, my brain is faintly suggesting Time Bandits. But I haven't seen the movie in I don't even know how many years, so I could easily be wrong. It was midget-less. Or else my memory is worse than I thought. CzarChasm posted:As was pointed out a little earlier in the thread, you can try the "Identify a Movie for Me" thread in CD. The name McDougal makes me think of Coming to America. Not really time travel, but definitely a fish out of water story. Along the same lines and era, but that wasn't it. I definitely remember the fellow's old timey clothes. I believe he had a monocle, even. It is kind of funny to me because that movie reminds me a lot of Steampunk-y people. I think the film might appeal to those sorts of folks. Trastion posted:I thought the same thing in regards to Coming to America. Maybe he is confusing parts from that with parts from Back to the Future (Old man and kid time travel). She, and I thought of that, but I'm pretty firm that that was not it. I distinctly remember old timey dude had a modern dude as a minder, who was helping him with his objective in the future time, and it was time sensitive which seems to suit Time after Time very well. BttF is seared into my memory too, there's not much ambiguity about it's plot, even after all these years. A classic, and all.  KittyLitter posted:Coming Back to the Future of America I don't think so, but I'd like to see this movie. Thanks everyone. I am leaning towards it being 'Time after Time' which seems to make the most sense. I will have to watch it again and see. At least with an earworm, you know what your dealing with, these mindworms are a lot more frustrating. I also apologize for my lack of Google-fu, I honestly did try but it wasn't very helpful. I blame my brain not knowing a good string to search for. Next time I will go to that CineD thread instead of boggling this one to bits. Memories of watching it on good old VHS, early 80s, I can remember the videotape box and it was back in the day where you rented because one single tape cost a prohibitive amount of money. Even the membership to rent cost fifty bucks. Nostalgia

Time After Time was the first movie I thought of, but I don't remember a scene like that and it wasn't really a light-hearted movie, as far as I remember... :[

They even show a McDonald's sign in the trailer! That made me laugh. I was wrong about the monocle, but that's understandable. He does have spectacles, at least. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD39rK1uSww I will shush about this now (sorry mods!). If turns out that it's not this movie, I'll ask the Discusso thread. Thanks everyone! *stealth edit- errr I don't know how to make it not embed the video, sorry.

beeaar posted:can somebody tell me what this facepalm pic is from? Johnny Mnemonic, truly Keanu Reeve's finest film. In the dystopian future, you're a corporate drone with a ticking time-bomb in your head. So you join up with a 'roided-out hooker and a military-grade dolphin-hacker to fight an insane cyborg-priest-assassin. Also contains KR shouting, "I want to get online! I need a computer!" at said hooker. (Your photo is of his computer. He gets his computer.)

(They have some sort of corporate or club special discount, preferred customer etc) When I was working for a major airline almost every time practically all the first class seats were free. Seeing only 1 or 2 passengers for the 40 slots available was pretty normal. Economy class on the other hand was almost always overbooked. What the personnel was supposed to do was give people with the most club points in economy class a boost to first class if necessary. First class is just so loving expensive I think in practice you only see people flying there who are either rich (not a large part of the population) or people actually flying on business who could convince their bosses to pay more money (as they loving should, economy class sucks).

 A lot of beach sperm whale carcasses have the penis sticking out. Is this a consequence of the stress the animal suffered, or was it the post-mortem decomposition of the muscles?

Ironically, some of the worst things our culture creates can have some of the best ideas, like the XFL giving us the skycam. There's probably good UI notions hidden in that movie. Maybe.

fivre posted:How are there so many sites that are just endless lists of phone numbers? Do they actually make money? Well it costs nearly nothing to host and serve (since they're just static lists of 10 digit numbers), and they tend to have a whole bunch of ads slapped up around them. So it's easy to see how they could be making money at it, especially if they manage to get some people using their site regularly to find numbers.

In the days of dial-up modems, there were these apps that sped up your websurfing by following the links on the page you're viewing and downloading their contents while you are reading the current page. What was the term for those apps?

What was the term for those apps? As said before, precaching. Using the same terminology there were also ISPs that would keep a local copy of popular websites and serve directly to the client rather than requesting for the actual host.

Sleep As An Droid. Not sure if it really works; I still hate getting up. Does have pretty graphs though, and is a pretty good alarm clock app otherwise.
