2,200 | The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. I have read it over 8 times now. | That is one of the only YA books I've read. Damn cancer kids made me tear up. |
2,201 | The best way I can say it, is W10 is to W7 like W7 was to XP. Not as drastic of a difference of course, but the same concept. It's just better and more polished overall. | Looks like a good comparison. Thank you for the reply. |
2,202 | But at the end of the day. Microsoft can afford to fail. Nokia cant. | Exactly -- That's why it's by far the biggest mistake they've made. |
2,203 | I'm a fan. Their best album would be White Pepper for me, or Quebec. Let's hope this reunion ends up making another album, La Cuch is kinda lackluster especially as a finale. | I agree it was kinda lackluster but I still liked it quite a bit. White Pepper is brilliant. Bananas and Blow is my favorite from that one. It reminds me of something Jimmy Buffett would do. |
2,204 | I can't speak for theclansman, but I think The Roots are doing so much more with Hip-Hop than Kanye is, especially with their new album. | I love, love The Roots' new album. And on a lyrical level it's more substantial than Kanye's MBDTF. But as a complete package it doesn't compare IMO, not least of all because it's a whole lot shorter than Kanye's album. I mean it's obviously a matter of taste, but I just don't think there's as much to be gotten out of The Roots 'Undun'. Somehow it's much more ephemeral. I've almost worn it out just since it released, and I'm *still* listening to MBDTF after all this time. |
2,205 | Maybe china has looked past the terrible concept of "cost effectiveness" and decided that the path to the future is not paved with successful money management. They do basically have Australia in their back pockets, siphoning millions out of us, so they have no shortage of money, and since most of their big cities almost have people wearing masks because of the polution, they probably figured this was a great idea. | There are so many other places that make a whole lot more sense to put solar panels. The median between the roads, for example, would provide higher output than the road at a lower maintenance cost. "cost effective" isn't stupid. What's stupid is spending money on concepts rather than results. There are 100 other places to put solar panels, there are few places worse than under a road. |
2,206 | It isn't going to change much. So many people want to think we live in a fairy tale world -- we don't. I'd bet you $100 those kids are thinking they got away with something here, and that reading those books is a Get Out of Jail Free card more than anything else. They'll read the books, sure, but probably by skimming through the pages to get a general idea of what they're about and spewing some bullshit from their fingertips for an essay. It's what I would have done. | Well, what it seems like to me is that these were a bunch of hooligans trying to be as edgy and fuck-you as possible. I think that reading *Night*, for example, would put a whole lot of fucking perspective into that kid, even if he's reticent about having to read it. |
2,207 | I'm pretty sure it's a bit more complicated than this on some phones where a handshake is required using the data pins | AFAIK, that only applies to iPhones. Also others use USB power which is a basic handshake. Short pins 2&3 for power only. |
2,208 | They do it because that is how they see the band: evil, satanic, soulless or whatever crazy image they conjure up, they will literally believe they are doing the right thing, the only thing he can do is ride the crazy wave until it crashes down when he turns 18 and can leave. | Ahh, yes, but I just don't get why some people are so prejudiced against metal/modern Germany (other than Nazicism). I don't know which. |
2,209 | But it's irrelevant as soon as they add in the missing ticket, it's all premised on the ticket. If they never showed tickets in the film and they had that scene only, I would agree | They are just counting people in the van. If they did not count everyone in the van before leaving and it turned out not only was Kevin missing when they got to the terminal, but that kid who pees himself was too, then they'd look at the tickets and see that they have one ticket extra because the pee kid isn't there. Kevin's was thrown away so they still would not have known. |
2,210 | Random things from e-bay? Amazon? No, the "darknet", which has illegal drugs, passports, etc. From what I remember there was an onion site where you could actually hire someone to kill someone else. | ... Oh yes, that's a small thing I seemed to forget about... |
2,211 | If Eddie Vedder and a someone who had the a genetic disposition of the worst case of cotton mouth possible had a baby, it would result in the birth of the lead singer of 3 Libras. | WTF... Uhhh Vedder and Keenan became famous at the same time |
2,212 | That's called "guitarist face", it happens when a guitarist is so engrossed in his playing that he doesn't notice what his face is doing. | There's "drummer face" too, where the drummer often looks constipated or angry. I suffer from the angry version of drummer face. |
2,213 | > they need to start their own league. Yes, because getting paid literal *millions* of dollars per year (or hundreds of thousands for the lesser paid) is comparable to musicians who sometimes barely make enough to scrape by (we're talking under $30k/yr). ^^/s. Sorry, they are not in the same league. | Lolwut. How many BILLIONS of hamburgers do you think McDonald's sold off Michael Jordan? Sports stars get paid a tiny percentage of their merchandise and the endorsements they do. The marketing budgets of major multinationals are larger than the GDP of small countries, paying Ronaldo or LeBron or Lewis Hamilton 10 mil a year is a rounding error. |
2,214 | Tangential connections, at the most. No cameos, just thematics and Easter eggs. I already knew this. I thought therealjuion was asking about something more substantial. Of course, one might argue that the ending of 11/22/63 concerns the breaking of a Beam, but that's more or less where the greater similarities end. | Weren't there Low Men? Been a while since I read it but I thought those fuckers showed up. |
2,215 | Hey, I wouldn't discount the average speed for homes. Although it tends to be higher in disaster-prone areas, the average speed is obviously not zero. [Case in point] | It just did not look right as I read it, and now I know for sure why. It is a poorly worded sentence. Also, that home is on the slow end, i think. I mean, look at this fucker moving. |
2,216 | After reading your post I have started on the book Last Call.I like it. Good call. | Thanks! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. |
2,217 | 95% of the movie. The remaining 5% is voice-over narration while one of the guys is commuting to the dinner. | Wow, I guess I'll have to check it out, just to see how they pull that off. |
2,218 | Hellsing is one of my favorites. The soundtrack is incredible. So underrated. | One of my favourite tracks: ...and the classical version of it: Note: Apparently the classical version of this I had saved on YouTube from a few years ago was removed so I had to find another. This one seems as good, or better! Edit: also the opening music to Ace Combat 04. |
2,219 | Malevil is an excellent little novel written by Robert Merle that tells the story of a small collection of men and a woman who survive a nuclear apocalypse by being holed up in the cellar of a castle. Later they find other survivors and much more takes place. It takes place in France so the Castle part is believable. Really a great book. Wikipedia, Aka SPOILER PAGE. Read the summary. | This should be on top. It's really a "rebuild the world" story, unlike lots of the others mentioned here that are just dystopian stories. No vampires/zombies/mutants etc., just people trying to deal with the situation and survive. A really great book! |
2,220 | Did you switch to another social media (Instagram, Snap etc)? | I switched to reddit :) I still have fb, but i go on it like 1-2 times per year. Once they required u to download messenger app in order to send simple messages through fb, i was done. |
2,221 | This is great. now let me download a useful application then have to edit so much code in terminal in order to get it to run. sounds like a great idea. Oh lets make it so I can't just download an app and have it install itself. I'll have to extract it first and then open the install text..and ugh>> This is just such a no. | Tell me more things from your home era of 2002. |
2,222 | Not that I'm a big fan of A.O. Scott, but I watched that and there's literally one sentence where he says it's "partly a reflection on the Vietnam War," so I think you're the one who's stretching things. It's still kind of a dumb review. | I stand corrected but really, interpreting Aguirre as even partly a reflection on the Vietnam War is exclusively the viewer's reaction to the film and has nothing to do with Werner Herzog's own vision of the film. |
2,223 | TIL there are more than 50 US law enforcement agencies. | * 50 states. * More than 50 cities. Not sure why that would be difficult to imagine there being more than 50 individual agencies for both state police and local police. |
2,224 | True, but it's not exactly subtle commentary. When in Imaginationland that general dude talks to various "creative film makers" and they make fun of M. Night and Bay then praise Gibson's ability to tell a story in spite of his craziness... well, there wasn't really any subtext there. Just like there wasn't here. | This is only a sign that they've run out of ideas. Hell, they could at least jump the shark with laser beams attached to their heads -- that would at least be an ironic way to run out of ideas. Actually pointing out that Mel Gibson is still awesome AND crazy isn't even Meta. |
2,225 | Per capita would be more interesting. UK and Germany seem to be winning. | Agree per capita would be more interesting, and from just skimming the list i think denmark might be on top then. |
2,226 | That's a fascinating answer, and I'm inclined to agree with you, though I don't know why. Care to put into words why you feel Ben Affleck is one of very few people who could do justice to the character and thus the story? | Because when Ben Affleck smiles, in any context, part of me wants to punch him in the face. |
2,227 | You're supposed to call the number on the back of the card.... there are usually two numbers. One for your issuer (bank) and one for "report lost or stolen" which will take you to Visa or MasterCard or whichever. Maybe that's why Google couldn't do anything? I've only had fraud on two cards in my life and one of them was my Google Wallet card that a waitress wrote down all the information and used it. When I called the number on the back I got MasterCard. edit: My Google Wallet card and my local bank debit card have the same number for lost or stolen. 1 800-627-8372. Then there is a customer service number for my bank and the same for Google Wallet. 1 855-4-WALLET. | That doesn't really solve the core problem that Google sucks, and always has, at customer service. If it's really that simple then Google should've told him/her to do that. |
2,228 | These are some of the things that often bother me in the games. When the villains can just do things. They just avoid all the realistic obstacles that should have been in their way, and noone ever questions how they got around them, like, in this instance, the dozens if not hundreds of point defense guns or fighter escorts that should have been around to fight off long-range boarding attempts. | TBF they thought the location of earth was a secret (which it was, the covie didn't know earth was the human home world) so it was pretty unlikely that a huge force would show up out of nowhere. I believe they were also spread pretty thin. |
2,229 | You're quite right. Come on over to /r/WarOnComcast and help organize the cause that will force the needed regulation through. | Why aren't you fighting for more competition instead of regulation that actually helps remove competition and prop up just a few companies creating oligopolies? Go the opposite direction South Korea did. Don't dare go "Hey, Korea, you've amazing internet, why?" |
2,230 | Also Verizon will only give me $10 for a $500 smart phone I bought in 2010.... Tech gadgets depreciate quickly | Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor. |
2,231 | First time I heard it was at 2AM driving cross-country. | IT'S 2 AM! THE FEAR HAS GONE! I'M SITTING HERE WAITING, THE GUNS STILL WARM! |
2,232 | Both ***Upstream Color*** and ***Under The Skin*** rely on the viewer being able to "read" elliptical, pure visual film language in order to understand the narrative. | I'd almost say those show too much and dont tell enough. A lot of the long shots end up seeming unnecessary and a bit sloppy. Still good films, though. |
2,233 | Alternate title: Executive of one dying industry places ad with another dying industry. You can't buy popularity so you try to buy opinion? Good luck with that strategy during the Internet Meritocracy. | The 20 excecs are *really* saying is that the Grammys should, like in the past, remain a popularity contest, and not be an award of merit. |
2,234 | Obviously *The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars*. [The amount] [of great] [songs on] [that album] [is simply] [incredible!] | Oh yeah. I will always love that album. I love the beginning, 5 years. That empty drumbeat slowly becoming more apparent. Then bam! Bowie rock. Then the introduction to Moonage Daydream just makes it so much better. That pause between songs, and the sudden; DUUNNNNN DUN DUN! *I'M AN ALLIGATOR!* |
2,235 | Is making a movie where the main characters are emotions not a risk? You can argue all you want that it's formulaic but there's creativity bursting through the seams there. | Portgas is just being moody again. It will pass. |
2,236 | And what happens when he does more with his property? People like you STILL bitch and moan. Lighten up, Francis. | We will then, again, hope the property falls into actually capable hands - or capable hands are hired to write the script. |
2,237 | Keep in mind, magnetic tape is still used as storage in datacenters (*new* tape, not just old stuff from the 80's). They're not necessarily talking about the consumer market. | Tapes are used for their non-volatility. HDDs don't have that advantage and they are losing their Price/size advantage when power consumption and density is taken into account. HDDs still have a life, but it is well past its prime and is probably closer to 10 years than 20 for any real, practical purpose. |
2,238 | I recently read 'The Stand' and I have to agree, the ending was terrible for how great the book was. I would have been happy to read another thousand pages just to get to a better ending. | King did say he had a huge problem with writers block during the stand. In the unabridged version we do get around 200 pages of just nothing happening and then the novels over in the next similar sized segment. That said, a lot of people view the stand as a standalone novel, when It really should be considered as one large story in King's Dark tower universe. When you accept, not necessarily happily, the concept of ka, the ending becomes that much more bearable. Ka, as Eddie says, can mean 'god will provide' |
2,239 | I recommend Wool to just about anyone. I finished the entire Omnibus in a weekend. The very beginning of book 3 was a little discouraging and made me think that all the stories would just repeat themselves, but the last five sentences...oh my god. | Is the book YA? Because I am incredibly put off by anything like that now, but I have heard about Wool and am intrigued by it |
2,240 | I like it, but in what ways does this really differ from IMDB? | We want to make it easier and faster to find something to watch. IMDB is decent if you have a specific movie in mind, but does nothing to aid discovery. It's very difficult to pivot and search through a lot of movies on IMDB and they have no sense of recommendations. We also show Metacritic, Rotten Tomato and IMDB scores on movie pages to help you get a quick sense of the quality of a movie. |
2,241 | I saw Dark City on the list and got excited. Realized it was the 66 year old film instead and got sad. | I love that film, even if the film noire aspect of it ended too quickly. |
2,242 | Asimov or Clarke? Tolkien or Lewis? And how did you like the Series 9 premiere? | Based on the way he answered that Q I bet the answers to both of those will be Roddenberry and Rowling, respectively |
2,243 | I am convinced that most of my personality is a result of how many times I read Matilda. It might make for an interesting conversation. | Ironically, that was one I never read...when the BFG movie comes out, I will publicly go to take my son, but privately be excited to see it for myself |
2,244 | > Like /u/lakreda[1] said: > They passed all info and specifics to the CIA, FBI, Mi5, and others to be analyzed. They posted locations as a warning to those planning on attending. | So they've managed to instill fear, warn terrorists that their plans were known, and telling the agencies does what, exactly ? |
2,245 | personally i'm rooting for wilco to win and begging for weird al and yakety sax to lose! but how about just for kicks i nominate "Holland, 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotel... a classic! PS- it sounds like we've got the same setup for instruments! i play guitar and bass and then just program some drums... can't say i'm anything less than terrible with the other instruments you listed though. | I'm with you. Yakety Sax is kinda like begging to be disappointed, but whatever. NMH would be great! |
2,246 | I have yet to watch this. Heard nothing but good things about it. | Well, don't take any hallucinogens before watching it, that's all I have to say. |
2,247 | Maybe you should actually watch the movie because there is more to "actors" than you know | I think I'll wait for it to be streaming at this point. |
2,248 | I always think they make for some poor movies, then I remember Shawshank, Green Mile, Stand by Me, The Shining (a lot of people do not like it, but I did) were all great. The next tier of very good would be The Mist, Carrie, Misery. All obviously in my opinion. | The Shining is pretty much universally considered the best horror movie of all time. |
2,249 | Are you referring to the ridiculously detailed dissection of the whale, or am I just being stupid here? Cos if so, Moby Dick represents anything that is projected onto it (for Ahab it is evil), and we get obsessed with etymology and naming things (a big theme for Melville), hence the dissection. | You know that trick that some people can do where their eyes roll back and they look like a zombie? Yeah [this] has that effect on me. |
2,250 | This is so epic. I remember when I heard this version for the first time I had to repeat it over and over. It still blows me away and I love the applause at the end, well deserved | I jammed this song for a straight month after I heard it. |
2,251 | Does the NookColor hurt your eyes if you read for too long? | Nope, I had a clear screen on it and read for 4+ hours one day and it felt just like reading a book to me. I now have an anti-glare screen on it and now I can even read in sunlight (just have to turn the brightness up) or complete darkness for long periods of time without having any problems! *huggles my NookColour* |
2,252 | He did take it up the ass from Vanessa doe | Taking it up the ass is not inherently gay. People forget, straight couples do anal too. |
2,253 | In two to three years, someone will have the brilliant idea of making a sitcom that takes place in the 90s. Wouldn't even be surprised if they just flat out call it That 90s Show. Edit: Evidently its already begun. I hope Fresh Off The Boat has an episode about a Pogs tournament. | There's Fresh off the Boat on ABC. [It has 90's pop culture focused plotlines from time to time.] |
2,254 | Halloweentown it's a Disney channel original movie. I enjoyed it as a child! | Agreed. The first couple were cute and fun but after the actors changed in the later installments it loses it's flair. |
2,255 | Also they toned down a lot of the scenes (obviously to keep it PG-13). I haven't seen the final movie yet but they had to have pretty much removed or toned down the last few chapters of mockingjay | They completely took out her crippling drug addiction. I get keeping it PG-13, but they blow up Katniss' sister, and don't really touch on how that negatively affected Katniss. |
2,256 | There's a difference between a plotless, shock-value killing and (e.g.) the Red Wedding from 'A Song of Ice and Fire.' There were dreams/prophecies about it. Poor decisions were made. A sleazebag was betrayed. It was telegraphed. Many found it simply 'shocking,' but it was there all along. | Indeed. It wasn't just for shock value because it had impact on the plot, on how we see certain characters. I started to absolutely despise the Frey. |
2,257 | Whenever you encounter a fact of the form "China is the biggest X in the world", ask yourself: does this actually mean anything, or is it simply a restatement of the fact that China has the most *people*? | Yes there are more people in China, so yes they may publish more books. I'm mostly taking issue to the idea that they're some cultural backwater now when that's undoubtedly untrue. There is a thriving, diverse publishing scene in China that is producing some phenomenal writers and stories. See my comment [here] |
2,258 | It made me uncomfortable, and then it made me more uncomfortable that most of the audience was laughing | I mean a lot of the violence in Tarantino's movies is pretty funny... |
2,259 | this is really not prog rock any stretch of the definition | First time I’ve heard anyone suggest Pink Floyd is not prog rock. |
2,260 | Interesting technique. There's clearly more to it, but doesn't feel 100% bullet proof. There's no mention of whether this works for encrypted data. | >doesn't feel 100% bullet proof. That's why they said 81%. |
2,261 | Doesn't this contradict (kindof Reason # 9 - Link to non-official channel.. my channel is official.... | Your post was removed because of rule #6 No low effort discussion posts, you are not look to discuss music, you are simply trying to advertise yourself. |
2,262 | Backstreet Boys coming out at the end had me in tears laughing. I was just saying, "Is this happening right now?!" | I thought that was super lame. Like someone writing the movie was just like "we need to end with a dance number" |
2,263 | So is Kristen Stewart going to be staring a lot, Jesse Eisenberg be smart but annoying and Bruce Willis like he doesn't give shit about acting anymore and is there just for the paycheck? | > Bruce Willis like he doesn't give shit about acting anymore and is there just for the paycheck? Yep. |
2,264 | Aren't they legally required to do this in states that aren't At Will employment? I know in Canada if it's in your initial contract to remote work they cannot change the rules without offering settlement packages for both options. source: worked remotely for 6-months as a video editor/translator | I'm not sure. Still, if I were an employee and this happened, my level of outrage wouldn't be big at all, I'd probably just move. I suspect this is an example of redditors who have no actual first party interest in this, making a mountain of a mole hill. Every business makes decisions that employees don't like eventually. It happens. It seems to me that they made an effort to make it fair. |
2,265 | Due to the number off stolen cars being found driving on highways, GM now owns the interstate highway system. | > Due to the number off stolen cars being found driving on highways, GM now owns the interstate highway system which has since been recalled. |
2,266 | In the same boat, as I read it for the first time in my thirties on the recommendation of a friend. It immediately went into my "read again alone, and later with my kids" list. Some of the scenes in these books just got into my head in a very powerful way. Dr. Mary Malone's time with the Mulefa really inspired my imagination. The description of [the death of Lee Scoresby with his dæmon, and how he was embraced back into the universe](/spoiler) was very deep and moving, in a way that scenes like that don't usually impact me. | These books were the first books to make me cry when I was a kid. That particular scene definitely sealed the deal. |
2,267 | It won't. I read parts of the original script that leaked. The movie is -very- much inspired by the older Deadpool. There's no white box, or Daniel Way-ism in it. Not that much, anyway. | You do realize that the "White Box" is part of the camera view finder/monitor and is not in the movie. |
2,268 | The entire album [The King of Limbs: Live From the Basement by Radiohead] It just works so much better than the studio version, from the track order, to the shifts between songs, to the overall vibe of the thing. I don't even listen to the original anymore. | In total agreement. And the entire series was fantastic and wish it was available. I bought the DVD and downloaded what I could from YouTube. |
2,269 | I'm not pro-hydrogen in any way, but charging time will ultimately be limited by the grid. The typical residential electric service simply can't support the kind of amperage needed for the fast charging of electric vehicles. Even at the highest amperage that residential electric service can offer there will be hours long charge times. Personally, I don't see this as a problem, most people come home and park their car in the garage while they sleep, and that would be sufficient time for even a long range EV to charge. | Indeed, and most cities simply cannot support even 1% of homeowners maxing out their connection. If more than 100'000 Teslas were all plugged in at the same time in New York, for example, say at 5:45 pm when everyone was just getting home from work, then the entire city would blow a breaker. |
2,270 | I reread a lot of Heinlin. I love his stuff. You could just cut to the parts where he gives Lazuras quotes on life. I love those the most from that book. "Money is the sincerest form of flattery, women love to be flattered, men as well." | Yeah, he published it in 73, there were a lot of good thoughts in there - but I found *stranger in a strange land* more innovative. . . |
2,271 | Sure, but it *is* read to give historical context, and for that reason alone it is worth reading. | I haven't read *Mein Kampf* (no real interest), but for historical information, I found *The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich* to be absolutely fascinating. |
2,272 | I have 4 kids, ages range from 2.5 to 6.5 years old. I definitely hit the 15 min. mark on an nightly basis, but I spend half that just trying to get them to sit still and listen instead of lobbying for the next book or just beating each other up. The only time they actually get engaged with what I'm reading is when I read a book on the tablet...go figure. | Book on a tablet? I've run through our stock of books more times than I can count, can't believe going electronic never occurred to me. You're a bloody genius, thanks. |
2,273 | Call me crazy but it seems of the machine is meant for dev work as us qwert layout is the way to go since most major languages were made in America and with that layout in mind. | > most major languages. I had to parse this a few times before I realized you meant programming languages (C++, Python, Java) and not spoken languages (English, French, German). |
2,274 | Stairway to Heaven should be on that top list too. | Yeah but stairway is decidedly more difficult than those other songs |
2,275 | I completely agree with you here! Research is something that I will definitely undertake if I'm to achieve anything here. I've been looking at small positions such as a runner or what have you, but do you feel this is worthwhile? | Experience is better than research in my view. Write to every production and post house and do a few weeks unpaid, help on shoots, chat to amateurs and then work from the bottom up as every one else does. |
2,276 | >It's unclear as yet what caused the latest fault. An earthquake and a ship's anchor are thought to have been the reason for past issues. More likely the NSA fucked up trying to tap the cable. | Remember when underwater cables [kept getting cut around the middle east] Those were officially just coincidences, which always seemed suspicious. I wonder if NSA was involved there? |
2,277 | I would consider myself a sympathetic to Marxism so I'm not at all concerned with losing my Toothbrush of Cleaning +2. I'm not adverse to the notion of abolishing private property if there is solid reasons to do so, but I'm trying to think of a practical and theoretical reasoning that would match up. As I think it comes down to, "Well they would need a capitalist structure to develop the land, which is exploitative", but couldn't a socialist state keep an eye to watch out for that? | I think it also has to do with good efficiency being all but a requirement for a socialist society to perform well. And when the society does do well, it is amazing for the citizens as long as there is no state capitalism going on. |
2,278 | People are purposely leaving off the preceding slash to prevent the words from becoming a link. | Okay, just use a dot or a dash. or say "The tech subreddit" |
2,279 | Zordon (japan) left her in hell for a million years. So she is not happy. | >Hell. Shrunk down and put in a literal Trash-can actually. |
2,280 | fuck r/music. once someone discovers that they like an artist it automatically generates a big discussion about the artist's true intentions and whether he/she is sticking to his/her roots. just enjoy the music u fucking cock munchers (that's not meant to be homophobic- I love "Same Love" and absolutely support LGBT) | Why say "cock munchers" then? There are plenty of insults available |
2,281 | Spoilers: I'd say Mat and Tuon is my favorite Jordan romance. Only one that feels real from the beginning IMO. Lan/Nynaeve eventually get that feeling and so does Perrin/Faile but Rand/Elayne never does. | Rand anything feels weird. The boyish fantasy fulfillment stretched credibility for me with his threesome. I guess if I had to pick one, I enjoyed the adjustment to an alien culture part of the Aiel wife whose name I forget, but I really wished that had been the only one. "Oh but in our culture foursomes are fine!" *twitch* |
2,282 | What's with Hardy and his hands? He must not know what to do with them, same in the movie too, always hanging on to his coat etc. | You see it a lot with people wearing big protective vests. Police & military do it all the time. |
2,283 | Haha, that's funny. I got called a cheater as well when I nailed someone in right river bush mid lane. Somebody was playing WW. "U fking hacker! I hope you get banned" Or something. | That's because you probably were hacking being a shitty human being. |
2,284 | I get the competition thing, but no one bats an eye when tons of stores do the same thing. Frankly nest products are garbage. We jumped in with both feet getting thermostats and protects and have regretted ever since. | I've been pretty happy with an inexpensive zwave thermostat and a self hosted diy system. |
2,285 | I don't want to see this remade but i wouldn't mind having another BTTF movie since we're close to 2015 and Christoher Lloyd still looks like the part: It doesn't have to star Michael J. Fox, or only as a cameo, but Doc Brown and Marti's children or Doc's children; I would simply love to see more of that world. | Micheal J. Fox stars in it as Marty again. Except the parkinsons is a side-effect from the prolonged exposure to time-travel. Pretty dark though. |
2,286 | Knocked Loose (they only have one album and a few ep's with 4 or 5 songs though) and probably Jinsang. | Laugh Tracks is a great album, they have so much potential and room to grow. I'm excited to see where they go. Never heard of Jinsang, I'll have to check them out. |
2,287 | You like to see people who work their tails off to reach a higher level of monetary success crash and burn? Sounds like a hater to me... | I work my tail off and get very little in the way of recognition and monetary success with a dash of SFA in the luck department. So yes, I am a hater. |
2,288 | >feverish. Hah. Did Dostoevsky ever have a main character who wasn't frequently feverish, usually accompanied by some sort of delirium? | yeah, I guess that was kind of his thing, worked for me :D |
2,289 | Good god, how did she come to ownership of so many books? That is something else! That said, I will definitely be buying a grab bag of sci-fi books once the Reddit deal hits. Even though my dorm room doesn't have nearly enough room for them, heh. | >Good god, how did she come to ownership of so many books? This is stock. She's a bookseller and she's slowly going broke. In the used book business, that was always easy to do but it's far, far easier nowadays. |
2,290 | What a terribly reasonable reply. Hats off to you for not automatically launching into a tirade based on a minor disagreement. Perhaps I need to revisit their first album. | The Killers are the only (real/big) band I've seen actually get booed and heckled etc., live. |
2,291 | Yeah exactly. I would love Uptown Funk if Bruno Mars wasn't singing on the track. Even with him though, it's better than a most of the other recent pop songs and much better than any of his other work. | Oh yeah, although he has quite a few popular songs that are totally different styles which makes him kind of a wild card to me |
2,292 | Privacy services that are based in the US are always quite suspicious to me. Their addon also only works with Chrome so I don't see how they're really commited to privacy. | Privacy.com co-founder here. It's fair that there are limits to operating in the US. We do plan to issue regular transparency reports. Regarding Chrome, we decided to go out first on Chrome because that's what the majority of our users use. Firefox support is coming in the future though. Unfortunately, as much as we'd like, there's no way we're going to be able to convert the majority of users to another browser. |
2,293 | I recently read the actual Jurassic Park book, (highly recommended read, if you haven't done so already.) It really freaked me out, learning that book Ellie is only 24. The movie was just imbedded in my brain. Also, Malcolm in the book was just Jeff Goldblum, in my mind. He was perfect. | Well, Laura Dern was only 25 when the film was produced! |
2,294 | I minored in classical studies- we used the fagles translations. | I believe we also used him when I read the Odyssey in high school and I read the Fitzgerald translation when I was younger. I remember enjoying each of them, however, I don't really remember the translation itself. I am looking to do a reread and would like to get a good consensus. Thanks for the input and link! |
2,295 | Makes it much more emotional. Damn this really hitting home right now. | I just hope it really is good. A lot of trailers show the tone of the movie but when you see the movie it's not the tone at all. I like art/character-driven movies but so many times it turns out they are the complete opposite. X-Men 3....that was not the tone of the trailer. Bad movie to a lot of people. It was 'ehh' for me but when the trailer debuted I was like 'holy shit yes!' and I watched it and was like 'wtf?! this is not the tone AT ALL'. So I'm hoping Logan will be the tone of the trailer: desperation, redemption, and heart (the scene at the table with X-23 and prof x seemed like they were having a happy moment). |
2,296 | sorry for so many replys but also opiuo. I have a ton more artists if you want more let me know. | Hey man no disrespect I seriously didn't know they were in there own genre. Maybe that's why I had such a hard time finding other artist like them. I already have some gramtik he's legit. I just listen to kygo's mix on diplo and friends and he was killing it. I don't know if you've heard of him but I figured I would give him a name drop. Here's the link: I definitely appreciate all the info man and seriously send a PM if you think anything else. |
2,297 | So you're completely OK with your ISP reading all of your email as long as they super secret pinky promise it's only for spam prevention? I'm sure as hell not. | No, I am definitely not OK with it which is why I configure my mail client to use port 587 and require STARTTLS. I know most people are not going to do this which is why we need better defaults. |
2,298 | TL;DR - Automakers don't want to share the source code that runs in their vehicles. While I think this is a very interesting topic with multiple arguements to be made on both sides, I don't appreciate the click bait title the author chose. "Ownership" isn't even discussed in the article. | Thanks for saving me a click but now you've cost me seventy-five keystrokes |
2,299 | Too bad they don't let you unlock the bootloader like HTC does. | Made that mistake buying a note 4 from verizon. Never again. |
