2,100 | Goldeneye. the David Holmes version of the theme, bungee jump off the Verzasca Dam, "James, For England...", diving from bike to plane, excellent. guess i know what i'm watching when i get home from work... | I second Goldeneye. It's still my favorite and a guilty pleasure of mine. I am invincible! |
2,101 | AFAIK pacemakers are usually placed in a pocket near the skin, because the battery eventually dies out, so having easier access to it is seen as a good thing. So the surgery to replace one isn't particularly complicated, compared to installing it for the first time. | This is correct. The surgery to replace a pacemaker is done as an outpatient procedure. The recipient is in and out in less than a day barring unforeseen complications (<4%) |
2,102 | I loved A Dramatic Turn of Events. There's some really good songs on the album. Portnoy or not, this band can still play. | Althought I have listened to it maybe 10 times or so, I feel it still grows on me. Would not be suprised if I consider it one of their best releases in a couple of months. |
2,103 | El Mocambo is simply the best, you must watch this DVD! One of the best live performances ever in my opinion. | I might just have to pick that up. My father is a huge blues fan, got me into it at a young age. |
2,104 | I didn't care for the 3D in Prometheus. Most of the movie is so dark that it just pissed me off. | May have been poor projection. They're supposed to brighten the projection to compensate for the natural dimming effect of the glasses. 3D Prometheus blew me away. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. That starmap room... |
2,105 | A bit off topic, but where was the PTSD? Sorry, I was too young when I read those books and several of the more serious themes went over my head. | Not OP but I believe he is referring to Order of the Phoenix where Harry is dealing with coping after the events of the previous book. |
2,106 | Can someone explain what a "jet-cum-rocket engine" is? It appears twice in the article and, uh, seems like an odd choice for a name... | It uses air in the environment (like a jet engine) until it becomes too thin, so it switches to a stored oxidizer (like rockets). |
2,107 | Finally, a guide for a band people NEED to hear, not just a rehash of what most people already know. Bravo man. I love TDH and am one of his Lifetime Members. This guide is awesome. Though I would say "Whisper" belongs in the Migrant standout tracks. | Thank you, I'm a big fan of theirs as well. They get a lot of appreciation but I think there's a sizable portion of folks who haven't heard of them. Hopefully this gives people a place to start. And I seriously thought about putting Whisper on there for Migrant, but "An Escape" felt like a better fit in my ears. Of course, his music's kinda like Chocolate cake to me: The worst I heard was still pretty good! |
2,108 | Well, can we still have a link to one of the songs that you *worked* on? (Just tell us what instrument you were playing) I honestly want to hear it. :) | Sorry to say I stopped playing ten years ago when I left NYC for the U.K - but here's a video of the band that I worked with: I played bass - the very talented woman in the video took over for me. |
2,109 | They need to really stop with this superhero craze. Don't get me wrong, growing up I saw spiderman in theaters like 10 times. I love superheros. It is just too much now. I think I realized it when I saw Captain America 2. Everyone loved it. I didn't care for it so much because I realized it was basically just like the Avengers only a bit different. They are just spitting out garbage now. | The main character of The Sandman is Dream, also known as Morpheus and other names, who is one of the seven Endless. The other Endless are Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium who was once Delight, and Destruction who turned his back on his duties. Each of the brothers and sisters inhabit and are the anthropomorphic personifications of their concepts. The Sandman is a story about stories and how Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, is captured and subsequently learns that sometimes change is inevitable. |
2,110 | Because they were hiding submissions with certain keywords like "Tesla". | Honestly, the submission filter did a lot more good than harm. It's just when they pushed it too far people got mad. I unsubscribed solely because they removed the filter and the sub went to complete shit. It turned completely into /r/politics. |
2,111 | I'm confused, why are the cross streets both numbers? How do they know which one to list first? I could easily get lost if I'm at 24th and 5th and I need to get to 35th and 6th. I'd probably end up going to 6th and 35th by accident or something. | There are streets and avenues. Streets run one way, avenues run the other way (I.e east/west vs north/south) You're at 24th Ave and 5th St, trying to get to 35th Ave and 6th St. |
2,112 | Also Future Days. More ambient, not quite as fun and quirky, but still really interesting. | Oh yeah I love Future Days - but the Krautrock era was pure bliss! |
2,113 | "All Along the Watchtower" - Jimi Hendrix. Before any comments: Yes, it was originally Bob Dylan, but Hendrix's version is far superior. | My favorite Hendrix song is "Hey Joe", or "Purple Haze" |
2,114 | I believe Chris Evans was amazing in this film. | Don't get me wrong, he certainly wasn't terrible. I think he was just overshadowed by the supporting cast, in my opinion. |
2,115 | Any plans on going to middle of europe (like Czech republic, Slovakia etc..)?:) | We'd hope to see you soon, it's an area we missed out on our last tours |
2,116 | Until you start your next job, and *their* chip won't work because the chip from your last job also responds and confuses the reader. Or, you have a single chip and companies plug in to a shared system to reuse it.. great, now you have high resolution tracking of people as they move from job to job. Then you have jobs you can't even have without a chip, and now the government is pulling all that chip/access data. | The government can already easily track you from job to job through your SSN and taxes. |
2,117 | i'm not sure this is a good idea. many of the examples seem like things that ordinary signs should be able to convey. if we could make driving systems recognise ordinary signs then systems would be much more robust, more widely deployable, and lower cost. this seems like a temporary bandaid that could end up making self-driving systems worse in the long run (even if it helps 3m's profits...) | Except for stop signs I can't recall a single other sign that has more than one identifying marker, so a whole bunch of things can make them unreadable for both people and computers. Digital signs allow for redundant information. |
2,118 | "lol look it's a rap song with an acoustic guitar that's so unique and quirky" | lol and look over there! It's a black guy singing and not rapping! XDD What has this world come to! OH THE HUMANITY!!! |
2,119 | I want a sticky, transparent solar-foil to put on windows. With USB plugs, an integrated light for the evening and a battery for USB powered devices. It's not just for power, but for convince too. | Maybe a use case for that fancy [Tesla Powerwall] some day. |
2,120 | Yep, that's how you get to read the results of their work for free. I'm a big fan of food and being able to afford bills, and I imagine other people like that too, so if I chose to visit a website I give them the fraction of a cent they earn showing me ads. Or if they are annoying as hell, I don't visit them at all. To each their own, I guess. | Their shitty business model is neither my responsibility nor my concern |
2,121 | This movie gets so much negative-knee jerk reactions about being a pro LGBT movie or controversial for its "gay themes", I can't stand that. It makes me feel like neither side has seen the movie. Its a fantastic performance on all sides really. More than anything I couldn't get over how realistic the "cowboy" portrayal was. Both Jake and Heath really captured the American cowboy lifestyle and attitude. | > This movie gets so much negative-knee jerk reactions about being a pro LGBT movie or controversial for its "gay themes", I can't stand that. It makes me feel like neither side has seen the movie. But I'm sure those same people love Dirty Dancing, Grease, Great Expectations or any other film where a love is taboo because of class separation, which is the exact same scenario with just a slight modification on premise. |
2,122 | Yeah again, trending is super dependent on the viewer. YouTube has already determined that you are the type of user who doesn't find any of those things to be controversial, and so it shows that content to you. | Then why do I get Bollywood vids? I've never touched them once |
2,123 | I think that's what he was referencing with the "part 2" | That would make sense now that you mention it. |
2,124 | 6 each is only 24. There were more at the camp, but that doesn't mean they were all chasing them on the mountain. It was presented as around 20-30 Taliban after them on the mountain. It was not presented as 150-200 men chasing them on the mountain. | You've got to remember, they were searching for them. They had 100+ guys out there, but that doesnt' mean all were *right there*. |
2,125 | Just here to upvote everyone praising QOS, possibly one of the most underrated 007 films. QOS easily has one of the best pre-credit sequences of the entire series. It also has some of the most visually striking cinematography of the entire series. "Another Way to Die" is a great, modern 007 song, far surpassing Chris Cornell's lukewarm effort "You Know My Name." Olga Kurylenko was a fantastic Bond girl, and had enough screen presence with Craig to merit a return performance, far more worth than Maud Adams. | I would disagree on the song, I don't really care for it or the credit's visuals, but agree on everything else regarding the movie. Very underrated and awesome movie. |
2,126 | At some point? It's still bundled with Flash (and maybe Java) | ...and Avast antivirus. Every single time there is a big update i am considering changing my antivirus because of Chrome. |
2,127 | Fantasy: [The Thief] by Megan Whalen Turner. The first book is good, but the second and third are fantastic. Non-fiction: [Catching Fire: How Cooking Made us Human] by Richard Wrangham. Flat-out the most fascinating book I've ever read. About evolution and shit. Literary Fiction: [Orsinian Tales] by Ursula K. Le Guin. The writing is so beautiful, moving, exquisite, all that good stuff. Le Guin's best work, imo. Science Fiction: [The High Crusade] by Poul Anderson. Sooooo awesome. Has some elements of fantasy in it (the medieval part anyway.) Basically, knights vs. aliens. | I love Megan Whalen Turner! I've been reading that series since The Thief and The Queen of Attolia were the only two in print. Have you read the most recent? |
2,128 | Yes just bought a bunch of the Boxcar Children and Anne of Green Gables at a used bookstore. | The cover alone of Boxcar Children \#1 is enough to spark the imagination of anymchild. |
2,129 | There's a difference between liberal "please allow us to exist" and conservative "fuck you for not being the same as me." | What do you mean? In my experience it's conservatives saying "please allow us to exist" and liberals saying "fuck you for not being the same as me." |
2,130 | Personally I much prefer [Hey hey, My My] from the end of the same album. | yeah when it comes to hey hey, my my you gotta go with the electric version. |
2,131 | i think what you are talking about is the free access the local affiliates get to public airwaves (which are a hot commodity) from what i understand, they get access for free because they fulfill certain community duties that the government deems beneficial. afaik, there is no governmental binding agreement that says the big networks must provide free ota broadcast. cbs could just pull their stations, but i think this is a pretty clear bluff. they would have affiliates up in arms and lose a significant portion of viewers. now stations like PBS which get gov subsidies, would be a different story. | > now stations like PBS which get gov subsidies, would be a different story. It's not like they are claiming anything against Aereo though either. |
2,132 | **American Gods, by Neil Gaiman** Absolutely loving it so far. | I thought it was okay, but nothing extraordinary. I feel like I'm missing out because so many people loved it so much. |
2,133 | 1900s - No clue. 1910s - Birth of a Nation revolutionized movies in general. 1920s - Metropolis jump-started the sci-fi genre. 1930s - Gone with the Wind did the historical epic right. 1940s - Casablanca affected pop culture and quotability. 1950s - 12 Angry Men emphasized the role of the script. 1960s - 2001: A Space Odyssey was an FX game-changer. 1970s - The Godfather changed crime so much that the actual Mafia started imitating the movie. 1980s - Die Hard started summer blockbuster actions. 1990s - Toy Story killed hand-drawn animation. 2000s - LOTR showed that fantasy can be taken seriously. 2010s - Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, of course. | I'd argue for The Matrix in the 90's. It changed the whole landscape of action films, action in films, and became a pop culture icon. Toy Story may have done some of the same things for animation, but action and action in film is much broader, therefore more important imo |
2,134 | I'm pretty sure it was stated explicitly in the first book. Besides, where in our world can you get self-mobile luggage? There *is* the trans-dimensional slip where they go from riding a dragon to riding in an airplane though. | You're arguing something irrelevant I meant he was the one who gave the uninformed viewpoint not Rincewind. Although he was an incompetent wizard. |
2,135 | I think Julian Casablancas said it best in Alone Together, "You drink too much makes me drink just the same." sooooo goood | "In many ways, they'll miss the good ol' days, someday, someday." |
2,136 | Exodus? I thought Dorsey pushed them out. | Wouldn't the term "exodus" apply whether they were pushed out or not? Exodus means a "departure of a large number of people," which is what happened in Twitter's leadership team. |
2,137 | I think users are just overwhelming Prince's legal team, but I have seen some takedowns | I just read they got into a safe that had loads and loads of unreleased material for then to bank on after his death. |
2,138 | I'm pretty sure fuel is a major cost of operating a bus. Driver less cabs would be more likely to be used for late night routes. | >I'm pretty sure fuel is a major cost of operating a bus. Yes, and so in maintenance. But drivers are certainly one of the largest expenses. Buses don't use $30 worth of fuel an hour. |
2,139 | This is free: I have heard good things but have not had the occasion to use it. I kind of worked out my own technique. | Thanks for the rec. I make "Sleep With Me"! Our show is geared more to adults, but we do have a kids show in the planning stages. |
2,140 | Yeah I was being a bit melodramatic. I'm just glad that you guys are recognizing some classics. Night of the Hunter is a great film! | Glad to see you know classic film! Most of the people on Reddit prefer more recent films, never really checking out the older, more suave and well made films. So, I'm glad to see a few fans of the older gems here. |
2,141 | Oh Incubus. How I love them. Brandon is coming out with another solo album soon. | I heard josh freese did some drumming on it, should be cool. |
2,142 | Hear, hear! And I'd add Chekov's short stories. The Pevear/Volokhonsky translations are the best for reading the Russians, too. | And I'd add his plays. The three "biggies" are Uncle Vanya, The Seagull, and The Three Sisters. |
2,143 | Wow I didn't realize that, another band that sounds fresh which indicates their influence on future sound I think is the Pixies | And they still sound completely on point! I have no idea how Black Francis hasn't destroyed his voice box yet |
2,144 | I learned long ago never to be an early adopter of new windows os's. Won't kill me to wait a month. | That depends on how long they're going to offer the free upgrade... |
2,145 | Maybe not pop enough for me? I really only like MCR's biggest radio hits. | Do you like the theatrical side of them? Or the rock side? Either way, Danger Days is a frickin' amazing album and I urge you to check it out! Start with songs such as *Party Poison*, *Save Yourself I'll hold them back*, and *The Only Hope for me is You*. |
2,146 | > Hollywood would easily ruin a story for diversity, or choose to not make a movie bacuse it's not diverse enough. Really? I haven't noticed that trend at all. | I haven't really noticed it in movies. It's been seen in the gaming industry a bit, though - really hamfisted "token" characters put into things, which where identity politics are inserted by these characters in a really clunky inelegant way that doesn't do anything except maybe you go "why?". |
2,147 | I still consider it the best movie (entertainment wise) I've seen in a LONG time. I was completely immersed throughout the film; it was funny, tons of crazy action, and even some heartfelt moments. | I feel like I'm alone when I say I love Tom Cruise sci-fi films, he gets a lot of hate, what with being a scientologist and all. But I think he's really talented, and who gives a shit about his religion? Or if he's gay? The guy is clearly a good actor. When he first got suited up in Edge of Tomorrow and was clumsily walking with the rest of the soldiers, it kinda struck a chord with me. Being in a situation out of your control, scared shitless, not knowing what's going on, undertrained and smaller than the rest of the people there. I was almost on my feet, clapping when he got all badass towards the end. Point is, I like Tom Cruise. |
2,148 | I'm genuinely surprised someone else here has heard Pushing Through the Pavement | I just saw them at Arise Music Festival in Loveland, CO. Blew my mind away. |
2,149 | No problem. Love me some Aesop Rock and glad he's getting recognition. No one understood why I was annoyed when "A$AP Rocky" got popular. Their names are too damn similar. | haha i've got love for both of them and always wondered what a collab between those two would be like, and what they would call it. A$AP Rock? Aesop Rocky? |
2,150 | Not to criticize, but as another Redditor pointed out a few days ago, Hemmingway probably didn't write "For sale: baby shoes, never worn", and it was [most likely attributed to him after his death] | Came here for this. I thought it was common knowledge enough that someone advertising why you should read short stories would at least leave it unattributed or disclaimer the quote. |
2,151 | Well hello LG, here I come and I'm bringing my 64 GB card with me. | Yeah the hubby and I went with LG G3's last upgrade, we adore them. |
2,152 | Right. Cause instead of taking it there in the first place and having it fixed, he decided to do the exact opposite of what he should have done. If I’m not mistaken, Apple is the only computer manufacturer with a retail presence where someone can have their machine serviced by the manufacturer. I get your point. But you’re using one scenario (that is sensationalism at it’s finest) to justify your original point (if it breaks you have to buy a new one). And the reality is you do not have to buy a new one if something breaks. | >If I’m not mistaken, Apple is the only computer manufacturer with a retail presence where someone can have their machine serviced by the manufacturer. Microsoft will service machines direct in their stores to a degree. Mostly software, very minor hardware but they'll handle processing it out. |
2,153 | Shantaram is hands down the greatest book I've ever read | What did you like so much about it? It's in my pile of things to read. |
2,154 | For some reason though, its seems like its the Black Sheep of Hendrix records... nobody ever seems to mention how awesome it is! | Who Knows is my favorite over machine gun, I think the vietnam sounds are cool, but it goes a little too long in my opinion. |
2,155 | It's so weird and awesome to see them up on stage after so long. They've definitely changed but they still sound pretty good. | I agree. I think they were kinda nervous, especially Robert and Darren but they pulled it off. A few more gigs and they'll be as tight as they were back in their heyday I'm sure. Ben's piano playing was very adventurous I thought (e.g. at the end of Narcolepsy), although he seemed to have plasters on teh ends of all his fingers, which is maybe why his accuracy was slightly off from the loss of grip. But all in all, a great performance since it has been 4 years since they last performed. |
2,156 | The part where the guy is doing jumps and Bond just bashes through the wall, just awesome. | It was a really effective way of establishing his character and attitude, actually. |
2,157 | Add one to a light bulb to make it a little smarter? So you can tell if burnt out? Did you try turning it off and on again? The Internet of Things sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist yet, but would add exponentially to the personal data that was accessible via the Internet. | But if I was in your brake light bulb... That's a problem that exists. Imagine knowing instantly that it was out. |
2,158 | Man, this fascination with *Wicked* is something I've just never understood. Couldn't bring myself to finish it. I'm always baffled when people say how much they like it. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. | I really wanted to like it, but I just didn't. |
2,159 | Still confuses me that they bring up your credit card info when you're "buying" a $0.00 song. | Because they're charging you $0.00 for the song. It's easier to get people to use the service if they make you create an account and input your payment information. Next time you see something on Google Play you want, you can easily snag it because all of your information is there. I'm sure they're doing their Google thing and collecting the data of who is downloading the song, but they're not going to steal your payment info. |
2,160 | They haven't really shown any form of Kryptonite yet, and Batman is using a rifle of some sort. That makes me really think he's gonna waste his Superman trump card on Doomsday/Zod, thus proving to Superman he needs help, because Doomsday would have stomped everyone without Batman being prepared to fight Kryptonians. This also justifies making Doomsday a Kryptonian splice of some sort. | Bizarro (in the Diniverse) isn't afraid of Kryptonite at all. Not sure about the comics, though. |
2,161 | I read this series also - definitely made Ness into one of my favorite authors of all time. Have you read his other books? | Nope I haven't, but I'm really interested in reading a monster calls and more than this |
2,162 | To me, it's not so much that I think Jobs was an asshole, it's that I don't find his life all that interesting. I may be missing some information about his life that's super cool and awesome, but going on what I know about him now there's not much to draw me to watch a movie about him. | I saw it on Saturday. It's a movie with great performances, great directing, and good writing. See it for the craft if nothing else. A movie's topic doesn't need to be juicy to be captivating. |
2,163 | Call your isp. I had the same issue and then I sat with the technician for an entire day. Finally got the speed I was paying for. | He came by, said if it continued to just keep calling and complaining. Tried contacting LG via Facebook and email and they didn't care. That's basically when I gave up. |
2,164 | >there's no LTE option. Instant deal breaker for most people IMO. Being a little behind the curve on specs can be OK sometimes, but not having LTE is absolutely terrible. | At least in Germany coverage is still relatively bad and most mobile flats are very limited (with o2 I get 300MB a month of highspeed internet). My current phone supports LTE, but I honestly never missed it in my last one. The other specs are a no-go, though, and imo unfortunately more than just *a little behind the curve*. |
2,165 | Definitely the album of the decade, for me. It was shot a such ahead in time, musically, that it still sounds fresh today. Many of the things that Omar and Cedric were just starting to explore on that album have become standard, today. It's great. /end fanboy. | I concur. It really changed my life and the kind of music I listen to. It's the best album they've eve produced, all their other stuff can't even touch it. |
2,166 | Are reboots and remakes truly a new thing? How many times have they remade Robin Hood and Dracula? | Sure, it's not new, but if you grab a list of movie releases of the past 30-40 years, you will see a sharp a "reboot spike" in the last decade or so. I can't find it right now, but I was reading a really interesting analysis on this about a month ago. This reboot thing is not unrelated to the rise of the internet, and the evolution of TV shows. |
2,167 | Val kilmer makes a good point. Ben Affleck couldn't suck in the role of Batman any worse than Val Kilmer did. | Eh, I don't think he was terrible. Batman Forever, to me, is one of those movies that gets a little more flack than necessary. Was it good? No. Was it terrible? In my opinion? No. It's incredibly cheesy & laughable but you can still get some enjoyment out of it. Val Kilmer wasn't that bad in the role. He did a fairly decent Bruce Wayne, especially when Edward Nigma approached him early in the film. As Batman? It depends. I can see they were going for a more cheesy portrayal but at the same time... they went a little too far. |
2,168 | I'm sorry I thought I was pretty clear. I read some rumors and spoilers on a comment section today about the episode seven. And I am wondering if anyone knows how true these rumors are. I have no idea how anyone would know anything about this movie yet it seems they do. | I would say it's all talk. To be honest I almost never enter the comments of r/Movies or watch extended trailers (Unless it's of a movie I already watched). It's a good habit to have to avoid being spoiled or underwhelmed. |
2,169 | If one really wanted to beat the surge pricing, they'd have to register a bunch of fake driver accounts and have them be somehow "available but not" in the area to reduce the supply/demand ratio so you get a cheaper ride. | You can't just make fake driver accounts. Drivers are registered, have background checks done, have their cars inspected, etc. |
2,170 | The king of the Eagles owes him a favor in *The Hobbit.* If they had talked, like in the book, it would have been explained. Instead, they come off as a bit of deus ex machina. | You never know, maybe they'll talk in the next movie. The group has to get down off that big rock *somehow*. |
2,171 | Really? You're comparing one artist that beat the shit out of his girlfriend to another that went on a rant and dropped out of a show early. They aren't nearly the same. | I think the point made was that if people can ignore the fucked up shit those celebrities did, then Ye's fans are gonna ignore this incident pretty quickly. |
2,172 | Yeah Reloaded was still alright-ish. Revolutions was just a shitshow though. | Anytime I find myself watching the Matrix trilogy, I watch the first, then space out and get on reddit during the second until the masterfully done highway car/gun/fist/sword fight, then get on reddit again until the third one is over. Neo's fight with the oracles bodyguard is another high point, too bad it's over in about 30 seconds. |
2,173 | Dark Tower. After that I read The Shinning and Misery, which made me go: Stephen King is great when he doesn't have his head up his high concept ass. So I really lost the will and interest to dive into to what the tower is or how their world came to that and other assorted lore. It was a fun, simple, self contained western with tiddy bits of surreal horror and sci fantasy. And that's all I wanted. | I totally get that. I finally finished the whole series last year, but I had read the first one probably half a dozen times. That first book is perfect; short and sweet compared to the 800 page brick he ends the series with. |
2,174 | Just saw them live at Shaky Knees in Atlanta. Even if this isn't really your thing, if you get a chance to see them in person, it's an absolute blast of a show. | I saw them last summer and enjoyed it too. I probably wouldn't spend that amount of money to see them again though. |
2,175 | I feel like Google is still innovating with quite a few things, but wtf has Facebook done that isn't just some new way to feed you an ad or propaganda? | Facebook is so repugnant to me that its acquisition of Oculus Rift makes me not want to buy an Oculus Rift. I am interested in VR gaming, but I'm not very knowledgeable about the platforms. |
2,176 | In Seattle there is an old movie theater called the Cinerama. Sometimes they show older movies such as Lawrence of Arabia on its screen. After seeing it there I cannot watch Lawrence of Arabia on a tiny little television screen. | just the worst, isn't it? big screens are turning out to be a boon if this if no other reason. |
2,177 | Fuck Yeah, Nerd it up from time to time my friend. It's fun. Beats being spoonfed Michael Bays cold diarrhea for the millionth time. | >Beats being spoonfed Michael Bays cold diarrhea for the millionth time. Michael Bay understands how to film a movie, Shane Caruth can't even succeed at being a camera operator. |
2,178 | Oh sorry if this isn't new or exciting, I actually haven't seen the movies but I had two locals tell me it was currently being used in filming the new one, since it wasn't docked in an actual spot at the marina. | It is in the new one. They are bringing the Queen Anne's Revenge and the Black Pearl back: |
2,179 | Maybe he has a parachute that he pulls when he's closer to the ground instead of just hitting the hay bale. | The first parachutes were given to the Assassins by Leonardo da Vinci, so that's debunked. |
2,180 | grew up in custer...can confirm. edit: want to add that i'm a fellow texas refugee. i'm in austin in a 3152 sq ft house for 150k. | wtf? what part of austin?? I have 1600 sq ft for 250k. |
2,181 | That’s such a great way to read it - was he reading it to you as a bedtime story ? How old were you ? How long did it take to go through it ? | He wasn’t home a lot, so he would record it on tapes. We’d play it on road trip and stuffs. I remember one time I fell asleep right when the rabbi was dying and two hours later, he was still dying when I awoke. Needless to say it took a long time to finish. |
2,182 | Just finished **The Girl with All the Gifts, by M.R. Carey** and absolutely loved it. Read it if you haven't already. **Seeing Redd, by Frank Beddor** The first book in the series was enjoyable, have to see it through now. **The Career Upgrade Roadmap, by Olivia Gamber** cause I could use some help in that department. And about to start **Red Queen, by Victoria Aveyard** It was a GoodReads Choice winner that was already in my scopes, so here I go... EDIT: Picked up a few more books at the library last night, and have started on **The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins** Another GoodReads choice winner, sounds like a good thriller. It's certainly very popular. | Red Queen is a really great book. Lives up to the hype. |
2,183 | When it comes to smartphones, I want nothing more than for Apple to push out wireless charging. It would cause such a massive shift in the industry that we would finally start seeing it on non niche phones. | Hasn't it been standard on androids since like 2014? My 2-models-old Samsung has wireless charging... It's also waterproof, has a SD card, and a replaceable battery. |
2,184 | Exhibit B (for the defense of MGMT): [MGMT Coachella 2014] | Most of the band looks actually irritated when they play kids. Singer seems into it, but the guy on the nord does not look happy. The rest of them look like they're just trying to get through it. Heads down or blank stares until that like... 5 minute long psychedelic breakdown. |
2,185 | [Transformers] Even if you're not a fan of the movie, that main score is awesome. | Steve Jablonsky did a great job with the Transformers music. I'll give them high praise for that. |
2,186 | It's not like anything will stop you from using an old version of Flash to run them. | >It's not like anything will stop you from using. Windows will in 2020. >We will phase out Flash from Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, culminating in **the removal of Flash from Windows entirely** by the end of 2020. |
2,187 | Yeah I've been showing [this clip] to people who ask about it. The terrible acting is bad enough but scripting a fake accident (and editing it poorly to boot) is just insulting our intelligence. | When they destroyed part of the set I had my suspicions. Who the hell will ruin a show's lighting gear?? When the hosts started "being scared" in a perfectly framed shot, with oddly scripted dialog, while managing to get away "just in time" I knew this was BS. |
2,188 | In response to your deleted comment... It will only get posted in another subreddit if this one totally bans successful artists. It seems your opinion is shared by the minority judging by the positive score on this post. Instead of complaining just downvote and move on, that's how reddit works. Without the successful artists this subreddit would most likely fade away. Just because you've heard something doesn't mean everyone has. I haven't heard this for years. | Just trying to remind people about rule #4 on the sidebar, since very few remember it. |
2,189 | I'd personally never buy a Ricoh again, and I'm not a fan of the canon we replaced it with. | I've had TERRIBLE luck with Ricoh. They send incorrect toner, refuse to service machines, and just generally are terrible. |
2,190 | Best quote from a news article I've ever read. While we might have expected such behaviour at, say, a Limp Bizkit performance attended by members of the Insane Clown Posse, we never thought a Gustav Mahler symphony would result in a bit of a smackdown. | Wait, so they’re talking about the actual members of ICP, attending a Limp Bizkit concert, and getting into a fist fight? Is Limp Bizkit still touring? I assume ICP is, those guys are immortal, I’m pretty sure. Edit: Just read the article. It’s happened. |
2,191 | That crazy German guy ruins it for me. Thise quirky bits in between get old and spoil the flow (for me). Lateralus is the pure album for me. | One of the few albums Ive listened to that I don't skip a single track. It's perfect start to finish |
2,192 | They never did conclusively figure out how he died. It could have been suicide, or it could have been homicide. | Bull. His death was definitely suicide. I'll bet you think Courtney killed Kurt, too. |
2,193 | Which explains why I get slammed for my preferences Microsoft>Apple>Google. | I prefer Microsoft products too, but I don't like anything Apple, and Google has a couple apps I still use like gmail and maps. I still don't like a lot of the things Google has been doing recently, but moving email addresses would be a huge pain, and there just isn't another mapping app that is as good as Google maps. All that being said, I have a Windows Phone, so my choices of smart watches is pretty limited, but I have a Band, and I'm absolutely loving it. Screen is pretty readable in direct sunlight, and I can get 2 days out of the battery easy with moderate use and the time displayed always. |
2,194 | Reminds me of a joke: So Superman sees Wonder Woman naked... | You know the one advantage Sun Richards has over every other woman by being married to Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four? She never has to worry about him not having a rubber. |
2,195 | It's a reference from Kanye's record, The Life of Pablo. Specifically the track Waves and the voicemail track before it. There's a lot more to it, but that's where it came from | The voicemail track, by the legendary Silver Surfer, comes later in the album. |
2,196 | I doubt that phone will ever be thiner than 4mm. People love audio jack. | Until Apple tells them not to love the audio jack. |
2,197 | Both originals are good but I like the remakes of Cape Fear and The Thing | The "remake" of The Thing is technically a prequel. |
2,198 | It had the most trailer views in 24 hours beating out TFA's record. So some people care or at least care enough to want to see a trailer | Only broke TFA's record because during that 24 hrs everyone was trying to buy tickets to TFA. But in all fairness, there is a market for fifty shades, and it's good to see movies that aren't super hero/ fantasy do something. even if it's BDSM. party on. |
2,199 | Kanye has been a thing for around twenty years yeah.... He definitely isn't part of my generation. | Eagles have been around for over 45. The fact that they're still selling out is *insane*. They also haven't made an album since 2006 and lost one of their core members a couple years ago. Kanye had an album this month, didn't he? |
