What is it with these and weird punctuation? No human alive is going to use a colon to express "￡10:4 million"

CuddleCryptid posted:The two men with identical button down shirts. The girl only wearing foundation but having mid shoulder length hair and a Kmart shirt staring into the middle distance. The 1970s porch aesthetic. This is a church event, isn't it What church isn't using the same gigantic box of tiny styrofoam cups that somebody bought at Sam's Club in 2003?

VideoTapir posted:what is 'the fervor of a convert?' I don't have the context, but it means to do something or say something with a lot of passion. For example, if somebody was recently "saved" and converted to Christianity, they'd want to share the good news with as many of their friends as possible, so they'd go around preaching with the fervor of a convert.

I paid $100 for Global Entry. It comes with Pre-Check, but the money doesn't go to the TSA. It goes to CBP instead, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Also I get to take a short line when I re-enter the country.

Devorum posted:I saw Raising Arizona for the first time later in '91 and those two films are pretty much why I got a love for movies beyond just watching for popcorn. It's because both movies have motorcycle-shotgun scenes, right? That's what makes a movie good. Motorcycles and shotguns in conjunction.

CuddleCryptid posted:"SEX DEVIANTS are lacing paper with CARTOON CHARACTERS on them with drugs to take advantage of children's overwhelming desire to devour bugs bunny" Granted, if you gave my son a blotter paper with a cartoon character on it, it would go immediately in his mouth. He's 8 months old, it's what kids do at that age

Bizarro Kanyon posted:2) it does not need to be remade or anything like that because it is the perfect send up of a movie genre that is no longer popular. I need a team of necromancers to keep Mel Brooks alive long enough to kill franchise superhero movies.

If I'm expecting my checkout process to be even mildly complex, e.g. buying fruit or alcohol or using a coupon, I'll go through the staffed checkout because it will save me so much headache.

Medullah posted:I always carry a journal with me that says "It's too late, it's already happening." but then I tear the second part of the page off. If a videogame protagonist found the journal I carry in my pocket, they would see: quote:
If that's not storytelling, I don't know what is.

Perestroika posted:Reminds me of a similar thing that keeps making the rounds, along the lines of "City council refused to build a stairway up this hill in a park. Now a local dad built one by himself for a couple hundred bucks, but the city tore it down again at the cost of thousands of dollars!" I had to yell at a friend of mine about how the local dad's precarious, not-to-code stairway created an unsafe affordance and was worse than nothing.

Dameius posted:You made me want to go look it up and the first thing I found was this report that says that Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate per 1,000 drivers of any of the 30 brands reviewed in the USA. lol The same article leads with the thesis that Ram truck drivers are the worst drivers across brands. Soviet Esla might be referring to this article published by the IIHS last year, finding that vehicles with tall, blunt front end profiles are vastly more lethal in collisions with pedestrians than vehicles with lower and more rounded/sloped front ends. Modern full sized trucks are on a race to be the most brick-like. https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/vehicles-with-higher-more-vertical-front-ends-pose-greater-risk-to-pedestrians

Guavanaut posted:I think half of this stuff comes from wanting to believe in a narrative driven world where you just have to believe things over an analysis driven one where you have to do poo poo. If I recall correctly, an aluminum-mercury amalgum does grow into interesting tower-like structures, but it's also incredibly fragile. The mercury weakens the aluminum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrdYueB9pY4

Guavanaut posted:As you'd expect, the steering gear on container ships is massive. A lot of times there's a human-powered backup, but it requires some poor shmuck down in the steering gear room to turn a wheel 100,000 times because there's a massive gear reduction involved. It's a middle-of-the-ocean solution.
