Is that garage just dumb big, or is it the fisheye on the lens that's loving me up?

You like that? Someone built a similar concept for the Lincoln MK VIII (a very 90's, and much underrated, car itself): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGDob_IM4ds

Scissor doors are superior to gullwings anyways. All the ego inflating, over-elaborate mechanism, none of the downsides *hits door on low ceiling*.

The other half of automatic seatbelts was the decidedly non-automatic lap belt that no one ever buckled, ever. Which made to shoulder belt useless because the lap belt absorbs most of the momentum.

Remember to leave lots of space for your spine in the footwell.

One time in the early/mid 90s, my mom had a Toyota Tercel for a few days, as a courtesy vehicle from the shop. That thing had these weird non automatic shoulder belts that were completely separate from the lap belt. You could unbuckle them, but it involved awkwardly reaching over your shoulder. So I think what you were supposed to do was leave them in place and squirm under the fixed shoulder belts, and then fasten your lap belt. It seems an awful lot more awkward and complicated than just a 3-point seatbelt, but who knows.

You still had to buckle the lap so it helped nothing. Maybe it was so you could disconnect the shoulder and just wear the lap? You could unclip the shoulder and go without too. They also fitted really poorly so they were uncomfortable. Was it because people would buckle the lap and leave the shoulder behind themselves? I truly don't know. They're all gone now I guess so no reason to worry about it.

All I associate with it was Green Day’s first single after Dookie. And Ariana Richards, since she looked like a girl I had a crush on at the time.

drat, I loved that series. Hard to find a children's cartoon that was serialized like that was back then (at least for American animation.) They kept track of how many treasures they found, and even had a point where they went back and used the half or so they had to fend of the Dark Water on one half of the ocean, but then the series ended before they collected all of them. But it's also too bad it had the same trend as so many other 80's and 90's cartoons with the really annoying talking animal. Here, it was a monkey bird...Conan had the baby phoenix, we are all too aware of Snarf from Thundercats, etc... dialhforhero posted:Alicia Silverstone STILL looks like that btw. Too bad about the crazy. She's not only an anti-vaxxer, but also at one point decided diapers were bad so her baby "free pooped" or whatever, and she claimed she sometimes fed him "baby bird" style by pre-chewing food. But yeah, she's got a portrait slowly getting older in the same attic Keanu Reeves keeps his.

I thought it was pretty decent, I think it didn’t have enough HYUK HYUK WACKY HIJINKS to be really popular with the teen nostalgia crowd, and the soundtrack was too loud and marketing wrong for the art-house FEELINGS set.

I was reminded how before CD roms became common place for computers how many disks games and other programs would come on. My first computer came with MS Office and I swear that thing was like 25 disks. Nothing like getting a new game, ripping off the packaging opening it up and seeing a dozen or more 3.5s. Have fun sitting around waiting to swap disks!

I talked about this in the Old tech thread but I have a friend who in the 90s made his entire computer SCSI because that was the only way it could be as fast as he wanted. The only CDRom he could find that was SCSI had the caddy. He though "Oh I'll just buy a bunch of these and keep my games in them on a shelf" only to discover the caddies were like 20bux each. This would have 1996 or 7 so at that point the tiny speed boost that SCSI would give you was pretty tiny for home useage.

Angus was okay, but I still enjoy it as a teen film. It plays up the "good guy gets the girl" trope a bit and comes off as a long after-school special, but otherwise enjoyable. Unsurprisingly, I also liked the movie "Loser", but that was a mid-2000s film.

It seems this was around since before the 90s, but I remember it being a staple of my middle school years circa 1990-1993ish. Redass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butts_Up https://nationalpost.com/life/how-schoolyard-games-from-our-childhood-are-still-alive-and-kicking-on-the-playground-today Its been a while since I played but as I recall, the way we played, was that if you were "out" and had to stand against the wall, you had to face the throwers, instead of facing away. You were allowed to cover your face, or your nuts. Not both. Most people covered their faces, so naturally, we all tried to hit everyone in the nuts/dick.

We played the hell out of it in 5th and 6th grade. The recess monitors banned players having to face the players iirc, but that didn't stop us from trying to play that way anyway.

I definitely remember this game as Wallball, but we always played without pegging (hitting the runner) and with no "line up against the wall" rule.
