Randomness Dos
Btw, give me the human sized ant. Square cube law… the ant as it is scaled to a human size would collapse under its own weight and not be able to breath due to the surface area to volume ratio of its exterior. It would die just by being the size of a human. As long as you aren’t near its mouth, jus...

Would you rather fight one human-sized ant, or 100 ant-sized humans?

They all have memorable scenes and dialogue, but I haven't liked an entire film of his since Jackie Brown. And that was a very long time ago. It's not output that diminishes quality. It's self-indulgence. That's why I think post-9/11 Spielberg is a more successful (in both senses of the word) filmma...

Do you throw donuts on your floor?
Because that's how you get ants.

Shōgun ep 9 Akechi Mariko RIP :sad: Interesting to me that this was Crimson Sky. Yabu gonna Yabu. His underworld connections came back to play a role here, but part of me still wonders if there's some other rhyme to the reason. There wasn't for the real person Yabushige is based on, but he's the bes...

dodint's Thread of Concerts and Public Events
The last thing we did in the Before Times was The Struts in concert at House Of Blues in Anaheim (on Leap Day) and Disneyland the next day. Two weeks later - Friday March 13, 2020 - was the day all the shutdowns went into gear here, "two weeks to flatten the curve".

Afaik Clear does not exempt you from security screening. It's a biometric process rather than document based, so you have to do a fingerprint thing. And it is less widely distributed than Pre, so you're more likely to find a scenario like where your home airport might have it but not your most frequ...

She was on Dallas, but I don't remember any of her other pre-NG credits.
Anna Nicole worked as a bit part casting specifically because it played up type. But if they type a farcical person in one of the 'straight' roles, I'm not sure how it works.

Javits is right next door to Hudson Yards, I think that's kind of what that area is all about. (Food and merriment) But mikey is the resident NYer, so definitely do what he says.

The same reason that network news anchors don't want to have regionally identifiable vocal traits. Consciously or not, people judge you on your accent. If you plan to live and die within 50 miles of your high school, it's probably not something you'll encounter much or have to account for.

I would agree with Mr Roo. Yinz is just colloquial-speak, whereas the random and unwanted insertion of 'aw' and 'ah' into words is more ingrained into the vernacular. When I embarked on my de-yinzer-fication in high school that was by far the hardest aspect to eliminate, and yet is the quickest to r...
