Hello and welcome once again to another chat thread! Pull up a seat and chill out! Now of course I could pull up the usual OP but blah blah blah you know the drill, this is a chat thread, we chat and and there's a broken rear end Subaru or 10 to fix. Like seriously, I have so many goddamn Subarus it's become it's own AI meme and its funny anymore I have a problem... not enough space for them in the driveway. Also please note politics is a specifically banned topic in AI these days. So anyway one of the most bizarre things I have seen in the router logs over the last year has been ASMR videos. You do get the usual clickbait illogically huge breasted girls jumping in ont he fad but you also have a bunch of people who are really REALLY earnest about the whole thing - and they really do produce some of the oddest but harmless videos. I find the whole thing amusing myself....... until I found the dark side of ASMR and summoned an Elder God. Here I was just relaxing when it appeared - He was huge and his visage was frightening. He towered over me and demanded to know my name. Frightened beyond frightened I stammered "Cat". He seemed to be pleased but he wanted more. "What is your mother's named?" he thundered. "I... do not have one" I replied. "Then what is your pet's name?". I looked down, trying not to piss myself in fear. "Stig" I replied. The Elder God stood there, raised it's arms and then said in a voice that broked no argument.... REEEEEEEEELAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT0dmLL0PE8&t=11s In breaking news, Sebastian Loeb has been found out as having a secret life as a porn star. In a bombshell that has shaken Citroen – but in all fact pretty much everyone else knew – a keen eyed observer has spotted Loeb in a video on fuckingmachines.com – as the machine. “It was a surprise to be sure and he does look unfamiliar without hos human disguise on but no one can mistake his movements as they are so precise and his voice – ‘Ummmmmmmmm yes I think so ummmmmmmm yes do you ummmmm like it like ummmmm that’ – even without his fake french accent he’s unmissable” said Ima Wanka, 21 from his parents basement. “I was all like getting off and then I realised he was Sebastian Loeb so after cleaning my screen I phoned the News Of The World” “It’s about time that bloody robot got outed” said Malcom Wilson, Principle of M-Sport and the Ford WRC team. “There’s been rumours for years and this proves it. How the hell are we supposed to win against that? Let alone he keeps going for as long as his batteries keep going, no wonder you have fangirls lined up 20 deep” Citroen team bosses expressed surprise. “A Robot? No, he’s quite clearly human. We reject utterly the accusations of Loeb’s robot status altho the site in question…… ummm…. what was the question again?” Porn stars have been willing to verify the identity of the robot with many female performers expressing their support and admiration for Loebot. Many comments that are pretty much unprintable but you get the idea. The FIA will be meeting tomorrow to see the clip in question and Esmerela Jizzmop has been put on standby to clean up afterwards.

Garage2Roadtrip posted:I think the only disaster I'd face is a forest fire (almost happened last fall). That'd be a tough one unless you had some sort of fire-rate structure. You'd really have to remove them from the area in that case. If it flooded where I am poo poo would be more than hosed. But fires are more than possible so I have what I cant move insured and a place already organised to get them to for those I can move. But after seeing a bushfire flex its power in person changed my mind about staying in the event of an emergency. If a natural disaster is coming I will grab hard drives a bag of clothes and important documents,the cats and gently caress off as fast as I can. No ifs no buts. In the end cars can be and eh... your life on the other hand is something else.

Luxrage posted:I'd love to see something like that, that sounds like a cool experience! I've copped flakfor this int he past from ohter Aussies but I'll say it again - run away. Run far FAR away. This is the worst piece of poo poo to escape Australia since Rupert Murdoch - they are without a doubt one of the worst cars in the last 40 years, Chinese cars included. They dont handle, they dont grip, they fall apart in new and inventive ways, the drop tops are a wretched POS and by any stretch of the imagination need to be thrown into the nearest car shredder and recycled into razor blades to be worth anything. If anything, those quoted excepts dont do how awful a Capri is justice. Now add on 20+ years of wear and tear and honestly, you would be struggling to find any redemming qualities. Dont do it.

Unfortunalty last year we had 43C AND 90%. gently caress. that. poo poo. gently caress that with a bargepole in every possible way. Last summer was indescribably awful in whole new ways - Phoenix heat with Florida humidity. We've had average temps this winter but with a twist - while the overall average is about spot on, the nights have been colder but no real cold day times to bring the average up... but we've also had gently caress all rain and low humidity. Hopefulyl some rain coming otherwise this is goign to be one hell of a bad fire season

Applebees Appetizer posted:The Keys are a very long stretch of islands 100 miles long, Key west and the bigger islands are to the west of the predicted landfall. Most of the keys should be relatively fine if the track stays more to the east like it has been. If not then yeah it could be bad, but the track hasn't shown significant movement to the west yet. And the hurricane force windfield has grown with the latest EWRC, let alone the storm surge - anything 100kms of the centre is going to be hosed, anything 160kms is going to get a pounding and the centre is projected to go over Key Largo. Suggesting that idiot can holiday anywhere in the Keys is just the extreme of optimism that isnt backed by the severe belting Irma has given anything in it's path so far

CommieGIR posted:Irma is currently modeled to envelop the keys. So no. Let alone just finished the EWRC intact and grew quite a deal bigger (The eye itself is 56kms in diameter), is clearly starting to spin up again and about to cruise into 32C+ water. The only hope the Keys have especially with the jogging west is that Cuba does some damage to Irma and brings it down to a cat 3.... which wont matter as the storm surge will still be Cat 5 height and power.

10 hours to drive across one state, 4 hours were there was literally nothing but two service stations and a handful of B-Double trucks. 14 hours of otherwise bum gently caress all towing a trailer and the car drinking at 17l/100km. gently caress me, it's not until you do something liek that you realise just how big, desolate and empty the loving place is.

Catching up on AI project threads is always a great reminder why this forum is so amazing. Trucks in a field, ridiculously huge motors in small cars, mindblowing metal work on an old van, Audis stacked in driveways, Jeeps of all kinds in various stages of disrepair, unexpected four door American muscle, Corvettes and Type R Integras, Ferraris and Lotus Europas, MR2's, enormous piles fo RX7's in a garage or in a field dependong on location let alone WRC.

Catching up on movies now I'm on holiday...... Annnd watching the DCEU nd othe comic book movies Man of Steel really isnt as bad as critics claimed. Dour but I think it's actually a pretty drat good movie. Batman v Superman needed a better editor. There's a good movie lurking in there but it's horribly assembled ATM. Affleck as Batman rules and Wonder Woman was great - I would call it an interesting failure. Better editing choices and a better / longer actual BvS would have gone a loooong way to makign this one be good. Suicide Squad..... okay that's a dumpster fire. No one is saving that shitpile. Wonder Woman...... ummmm..... THIS was critically acclaimed? It's a complete by the numbers origin story. There is nothing new here at all... which isnt by itself a problem but when it's not done well, thats a problem. It's not done well or in an interesting way... there's only so much slo-mo you can do before you fall asleep in the action set pieces. Granted, it's not a garbage dumpster fire but it's no movie to be praised either, in reality saved by good character performances. Iron Man 2 level... ie okay and worth watching but not anywhere near as good as critics think. GOTG2 rewatch.... ummmmm..... you know what, it's also no where near as good as fanboys think either. It's also seriously by the numbers and leaning far too hard on the success of it's original. Doctor Strange - this is an example of by the numbers but done well. Trippy visuals like I remember, solid story, seen it before in Iron Man, rich douche gets comeuppance,w allows in misery and finds meaning and powers ot save the world blah blah blah. But done quite well. Says enough howwell when an actor I usuually cant stand wins me over. Next week I'm goign to line up action. John Wick 1 and 2, The Raid 1 and 2, Dredd and Fury Road. Any other action suggestions?

Olympic Mathlete posted:I actually enjoyed this, it was a little strange but Metro City getting hosed up by that gravity smasher thing felt like it was actually a threat and there was ACTUAL DANGER to the humans in the movie. Contrast that with Avengers where NYC gets annihilated and the 2nd where an entire city gets pulled out of the ground and yet no innocents appear to even graze their knees. No weight to it at all. And that's why I appreciated Man of Steel. Yes agreed. Also MoS really nailed just how powerful a Kryptonian would be on screen.... every punch just loving poo poo up. The sheer destruction of two gods throwing down was depicted so well - Superman2 to me suffers that a few cars get flipped and a tanker explodes buuuuut... not much else. In MoS the entinr goddamn city is being levelled. One punch cuts a building in half and its clear people die. If Superman didnt kill Zod the destruction would be insane and gently caress the neckbeards who were whining about that. MoS to me was about as realistic onscreen as Superman would actually be let alone how many comic books have Superman blowing apart a city block to stop the bad guy? I think it was true to source and just an all round resonably well thought out film with interesting questions and spectaclar action as well as lowering the suspension of disbelief bar really well. Its a shame Snyder caught so much flak for it because this is an interesting and believable Superman.

fridge corn posted:The ridiculous prevalence of superhero films these days is proof that Hollywood is just idling on fumes waiting for someone to come round with a fresh idea The issue is that everyone saw Marvel make more money than God and wanted a piece of that with whatever lovely EU idea they could come up with, without understanding how Marvel got to that point. Hollywood has always been utterly berifit of ideas and risk adverse - right now Marvel are the closest thing to a sure bet for making a movie that makes money. The reason why Nolan gets a huge tub of money to play with is he is also about as close to a surefire bet as any director could be - along with Speilberg his movies make bank and believe it that he wouldnt have gotten to the blank cheque status without The Dark Knight massive success. Whiiiiich also just happns to be arguably the best comic book movie of them all. James Cameron isnt a sure thing but he's had two movies that have made sooooo much goddamn coin no one cares what he does now. Now while I said Marvel were the closest thing to a sure bet in Hollywood, there is one way better and moreover has been proven that it cant fail - Star Wars. If new ideas make money 9 times out of 10, Hollywood would be all over that poo poo. But given how expensive movies can be, risk taking isnt a good idea, least you wipe out the studio. Which has happened more than a few times, a lot of the studio names have been bought over and over again as the owners go bankrupt and have to sell off. Hell, even Disney now and then have been on shakey ground. fridge corn posted:Hello. That film was a dumpster fire of bad obvious writing gently caress off

Liquid Communism posted:I thought that was part of the point? As in 'we don't have an Avengers level budget, so gently caress it, we're doing this anyway.' Like the Deadpool leaving his guns in the cab scene happened because they didn't want to rent them or pay for the effects. Yes it was part of the point - Deadpool had for a comic book movie an absurdly small budget. It shows and they even lampshade it several times - it was a project Reynolds really fought hard to come to fruition in the way it did and the studio gave him relatively nothing to work with and thats why it looks the way it does and a lot of cost trimming went on. No one was expecting Deadpool to make any real money at all, let alone be so remarkably profitable.
