Can someone identify the movie this GIF is from? I've seen the GIF a bunch of different places, but they're all just saying 'oh look at this funny GIF I found somewhere'.

Nessa posted:I have a printer with Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black inks. I don't think that's the problem. :/ In the olden days, this would always look like poo poo. Today, on a properly aligned printer, you wouldn't even know if it did it that way. Also, not all black inks are pigmented and thus most of them will start to fade (to green indeed) over time with exposure to sunlight, just like the other colors. Baking something in an oven is actually a reasonable simulation of accelerated aging for a lot of stuff, so maybe that's what you're seeing. It isn't likely that there is a solution for you with your current setup.

Get a simple one with the blades you really need, rather than one with a device for removing nuclear warheads from horses shoes.

They have stuff like strap/cord cutters on and look pretty handy. I don't have any names though so can't help you there. (They also often have the silly kind though, so you might feel the association is too strong.) I'm partial to leatherman or gerber myself.

Just do an Amazon search for CRKT, I have the first or second knife that pops up and it's fine. It cost like 30 bucks and I got it at Wal-Mart. You can go to any sporting goods store or even the sporting goods section at Wal-Mart or K-Mart or wherever and they will have tons of decent knives to choose from (along with a lot of ridiculous 64 function swiss army knives).

I've got something like 7 small denomination Starbucks gift cards that I've accumulated over the holidays. If I brought them into a Starbucks, would they be willing or able to combine them into one gift card?

If you use the app you can move it all onto one as well and simply pay from your phone, racking up reward points for free drinks. Might as well do it since you have gift cards.

Can I copy a movie off of an iPhone (not mine) to a computer (mine) without "sync"ing it or anything like that? I have no desire to vacuum up their music collection as well. I naively thought this would be an easy thing, like copying a file. Several hours and one divorce later, not looking so good.

I keep a collar on my cat for various reasons, such as ID in the event that he escapes my apartment. I've taken note that the collar has caused quite a bit of balding around his neck where the collar lays. The fur isn't totally gone, but it's noticeably thinner, and I can clearly see his skin through it. I know for a fact that his collar isn't too tight; I can fit three fingers under it. I've also never seen him display any obvious signs of discomfort while wearing it. Is the balding normal? If I were to hypothetically remove the collar, would his neck fur return over time?

Why is sports considered an integral part of news reporting? It seems to me kind of like if TV listings and movie reviews were treated as news. Those things might appear in a newspaper, but they never get mixed in with the local news or top headlines and they don't have dedicated segments on the TV news. Why is sport different?

Those things might appear in a newspaper, but they never get mixed in with the local news or top headlines and they don't have dedicated segments on the TV news. Why is sport different? Because enough people care about it that if Newspaper A didn't do it, people would buy Newspaper B (who does treat sports as a full section-worth, occasional front page-worthy topic) instead. Lots of people are passionate about sports. When's the last time you saw 80,000 people queue up every week for a public exhibition of Mad Men? A hugely popular movie series like Harry Potter might have a couple thousand people dressing up as their favorite character at a couple-times-per-year national convention. For something like college football, during the season you have about 50 division 1-A games every Saturday that have an average attendance of probably 40,000 ... and that's a fraction of the number of people who watch it on tv each week. It's no surprise that the highest rated television events each year are sports related. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Dec 28, 2013 |

Those things might appear in a newspaper, but they never get mixed in with the local news or top headlines and they don't have dedicated segments on the TV news. Why is sport different? I don't know about where you're from but here there's entire news programs devoted to movie and tv reviews and gossip, as well as most newspapers prominently featuring reviews of movies. But TV listings aren't really "news" per se as everyone knows about them ahead of time. And there's only so many new movies released each week while in any major metro area there are going to be at least two or three major professional sports leagues at any one week minimum, with lots of related action happening, and at many times of years there will be sports that have professional games happening multiple times a week or even every single day. There's always plenty of sports stuff to talk about, hence it gets in. Especially these days when it's possible to cover sports happenings all across a country, so even if it's an off night in one metro area it'll be an on night elsewhere. And again, this might depend on where you're from, but in a lot of America the actual length of the sports sections in the paper and on TV/radio can vary a ton depending on whats going on. Talking going to as few as like 5 minutes or 4 pages of paper in the real off season.

I have a 90s toy question. Back sometime around the mid 90s, I bought a toy for a friend who had kids - it was a pair of hand puppets that had body parts attached by Velcro (or some like substance), and the game was to try and dismember the other person's puppet without having all your body parts torn off. Now I have a daughter of my own, and I think she'd love this, but various Google searches along the lines of "velcro hand puppet game" have been fruitless. It seems like the sort of thing a crafty person could put together fairly easily, but does anyone have a name/link to the original item?

tuyop posted:There are wild hares all over my city. Can I trap and eat them without trapping and killing neighborhood cats as well? I successfully snared rabbits in my backyard at my old house in town. It can be done. It's not necessarily legal though. It wasn't legal where I did it but there was food running around in my backyard and I wanted to eat it, dammit. EDIT: There's a potentially very long answer to your question but basically yes you can trap rabbits in a variety of ways that are safe for other animals, and yes you can eat wild rabbits but be aware that they carry Tularemia which can make you sick or even kill you. But pretty much every food kills at least a couple people per year you know? So I don't really think it's a big concern. I've killed and eaten plenty of rabbits even in the summer (supposedly you can't eat wild rabbits in the summer?) and as long as you know how to humanely kill a trapped animal (not easy or fun) and know how to butcher and clean and cook it, you're fine. razz fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Dec 29, 2013 |

I have a move planned for early next year, around 200 miles from where I am currently. PODS quoted me at 4 days transit, and U-Haul's similar service was 8. Mayflower is cheaper than PODS, but I'm not sure how long it takes to get from A to B yet. Regardless, I'm not sure why it takes so long to move something such a short distance.

If you want your stuff delivered on time and undamaged your best bet is a point-to-point move. Pack and label everything beforehand so the movers just need to load and unload. If you're only going 200 miles you should be able to get the whole thing done in a day. Have you looked into renting a truck and just moving yourself? If you've got a buddy or two willing to help that's probably the cheapest option. You're doing all the hard work loading a container anyway.

Regardless, I'm not sure why it takes so long to move something such a short distance. Yes, they picked it up but took much longer than quoted to deliver it. This was a Chicago -> Sacramento move. 4 days does seem long, but I assume part of that is optimizing shipping for cost and efficiency.

I recently had a move through a van/trucking line. They came and packed (three years ago, not at all related to the company) and loaded the poo poo and then dropped it off and unpacked it. A few things like glass lampshades and coffee mug handles broke. It was a 5000 kilometer move and would have cost me like 6000 if my employer hadn't done the whole thing. If you have the means, it's by far the least stressful way to move.
