I'd forgotten that there was a Kingsman sequel coming. Thank you.
I'm excited about ready Player One - I've been meaning to read the book for some time. I'm also cautiously hopeful for the new Wrinkle In time movie. The last one... deviated significantly from the source. It's a testament to how much nerd people like the book that they're tackling it again this soon.

God, don't read it. I have read worse books, but I'd be hard pressed to determine when. The whole thing is just a nostalgia wankfest of 80's pop culture in a terrible, pandering way.

I watched your link and cringed. Those front indicators aren't normal. I'm guessing they're US spec? Weird that Leno was saying the 3.5 he has is top spec, we had the 6.3L for top spec down here. I had a friend that bought a w108 sedan 280se with 3.5L v8 for $3k about 15 years ago. That got me interested in German cars and I almost bought a merc in 2008 (w114), but I put it off .

I had a conversation with a straight friend the other day about boobs and dicks. He tried to convince me that all dicks look the same, but boobs are all different. He couldn't understand why anyone would like dicks.

It seems to be a characteristic much more frequent among highly social group animals; dolphins and bonobos are probably most famous for it, but there's quite a few more. Sex as reinforcement of social bonds is pretty effective. (Note: certain :biotruths: people use this as a justification for serial infidelity, polygamy, incest, pedophilia, rape, etc.)

there are a lot of animals that use rape for dominance too so maybe we should do more cartalk and less :biotruths:

E: Also, one of my problems used a program called Dynacam, which seems amazing if the trial version wasn't so hamstrung. Thanks to that I learned that there is in fact another derivative of jerk, called "ping". At some point the abstraction from reality has to make these things border on useless, right?

Yup. Keith Duckworth (the "worth" in Cosworth) had a quote about cam design, which is really where the company started. I probably don't have this exactly right but "I reasoned that if I didn't know what jerk was, the engine probably didn't either"

Now, we know more and jerk may be important to avoid breaking through oil film on cam followers but good luck finding anyone to explain limits, and I've yet heard any explanation for what snap, crackle and pop (what I learned the further derivatives of jerk as) are good for other than smoothing the graph.

Going in today to get a follow-up, but everyone who's seen that x-ray has said I'll need surgery. Never broken anything before or had any surgery like this so it's gonna be great. Vicodin is great, too. I'm gonna see if I can find footage of it happening, brb.

Some other dude on roller skates kicked me into another dude and my ankle twisted such that part of it broke. Roller derby! :confuoot:

Footage is gone but it had been live-streamed to facebook live and now it's gone. Oh well.

edit: Here's a photo of when it happened. Red box is the ankle that broke, green box is yours truly yelling "stop stop stop it's broken" spoilered cuz it's a bit macabre.

Speaking purely as a child of the '80s, with actual good memories of that period, I'm OK with this.

It seems like fascination with a past era runs in cycles. Clothing styles from the '60s and '70s keep coming back, for example. Probably other eras as well - i don't pay too close attention to clothing. Pop culture seems to collect from everywhere, kind of like American culture, I guess.

Oh hey there broken ankle buddies. Actually not a huge problem but you will have added titanium for a while... or in my case for good. You can forget about running for a long while too.

Good news is that you wont be out for long after surgery and the cast will be light. I was under for a hour and got a half cast. Also you will most likely be able to start putting weight on it fairly quickly.

And I know exactly how much that hurt. I didnt sleep for a week
