I'd pick Dawkins because (theoretically) I could just keep veering the conversation back to some biology minutiae, but the rest of those, wuff.

Muir, and try to keep the firemans alive too. It's a big ask, but you can do it, we believe in you!

CommieGIR posted:Yeah, and this is what SciFi did with the Dune Miniseries in 2000 as well as the children of dune miniseries, and it was really well done. I was kind of afraid of posting this take, but I really agree, the Dune sciffy miniseries is pretty good in my opinion. Obviously some of the CGI etc. are really dated now, but they had... Interesting costuming, and there's Ian McNeice having an absolute blast being BARON VLADIMIR HARKONNEN, it's really fun. Rappaport fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Oct 23, 2021 |

I think I've only seen a few 3D films, and the only one that I remember feeling  about was that Sandra Bullock space movie, because space freaks me out for some reason already, and all that junk just rushing at you, Jesus. And the glasses thing doesn't help, I need these freaking things to see, even a huge honking movie screen.

GhostofJohnMuir posted:they're those chunky monitors that would take up your entire desk After I'd moved out of the house, my parents got the bright idea to buy a huge, for the time, honking teevee. It was something absurd like 50 inches, and it was a CRT device. They even managed to get it upstairs! That thing must have weighed about as much as an oven. But the joke was really on them, because no one actually watched the drat thing, I think my dad watched one Formula season on it and then it was just forgotten. Because no one went upstairs to watch the teevee, since there was one set in the living room downstairs too. Why yes I'm just old enough to have to have moved a couple times with CRT monitors and boy howdy did I hate those god-damned things

It may have been smaller, I honestly don't remember. It was just this absolute tank of a teevee and I'm glad we no longer have to deal with that sort of nonsense.

My google-fu is failing me and I can't find a picture of the drat thing, but I did find a quote from a Finnish salesman who said their largest CRT sets at the time were over a hundred kilos in weight. Jeez Louise!

I apologize if this is too "talking about moderation" or whatever that is forbidden outside the 2-day party threads that happen every so often, but I have a question/suggestion. Could we (as in D&D) have a general "post about semi-recent US history" thread? Or would that turn into another hot-bed of awful drama? What am I saying, of course it would. But either way, since the US current events thread is meant for current events, and the mid-terms thread is heading towards a discussion about what went down in the 2000 elections, it seems like it'd be nice to have a general thread to discuss about how gropey LBJ was (he was), or how weird as a person Nixon was (he really was), or how Dick Cheney ran the administration while Bush played a patsy. Anyway, thank you for listening to my ted talk, see you in posting pits.

Paracaidas posted:Between Let's relive the Bush years and the President's Day Presidents Thread for Pontificating about Presidents D&D has had a couple in the past year+. I see no reason why there couldn't be another one? I will have to take a little while to make a starting post, since this fabulous idea of mine is falling on my own head, but there's a lot to cover. I figure a reasonable starting point would be Eisenhower and Nixon being vice president, since the culture wars we are seeing are all Nixon's fault, and that's a half-century of presidents alone. You are right though, it would be great for others to contribute.

? An easy one is to engage with the effort posts and ask followup questions or emphasize parts that were especially interesting. This actually works better than modaction to shut down derails and avoid lovely thread cultures no matter which thread it's in except dadchat but the mod toolset of negative reinforcement can't actually do anything to encourage that behavior so *gestures wildly at everything*
