Yep. Men are pretty much disgusting when it comes to bathroom hygiene/habits, or at least enough of us that it drags the average down into the sewer.

Yes. Yes it does. It’s utterly disgusting, and worse, it doesn’t just stay in the bathroom - the smell starts to linger outside, too.

Yeah, I still haven’t gotten my notice it’s available yet.

Not just cellphones, but anyone who’s a jerk or disruptive (such as talking in the movie). They give one warning, and you’re out. Makes for a generally more pleasant experience.

Clearly neither he nor his car are in the video because he crashed it into a crowd peeling out from Cars and Coffee, as a Mustang is prone to doing.

The age difference definitely matters less if you’re older. 15 and 25 is way creepy, but 45 and 55 I wouldn’t so much as bat an eye at. Really, I think a lot of it has to do with maturity, both emotional and physical, as well as stability in general. Once someone’s a fully developed adult (like 25+), it’s pretty…

It’s such an amazing sound.

The Army does still operate some fixed wing assets. They’re mostly just ISR type stuff, but they’re Army planes.

While I’m not completely familiar with Irwindale, a quick look over their site tells me nothing about whether they allow private use of the track. Not all raceways do, as I discovered to my dismay when I learned that the one closest to where I live now doesn’t. (Well, they’ll allow you to do a special pace lap,…

There’s certainly a difference. As to where we draw the line, I don’t know, but it’s definitely there (see the post below talking about dolls made to look like a specific person, ugh). Personally I tend to think the closer you get to some semblance of a person, the more it tends to approach the creepy zone, in the…

There’s definitely a line somewhere, and that is so far past it.. ugh. A reproduction of the appearance of an actual living person is downright f*cking creepy factor 9000, on so many levels.

The metric system is based on interlocking measurements, such that distance, mass, and other things have specific meaning. A meter isn’t a meter just because someone said “eh that looks good, mark it down”. Now you could argue that things like the measure of water’s cubic volume/mass/etc at Sea level is an arbitrary…

Elon did buy the James Bond Lotus submarine car mock up, after all....

I worry that it will lead to a case of alcohol poisoning.

That would require thinking outside of a male perspective, though, and thus giving up the make privilege of never having to think that any view but a man’s matters. /Snark

On that one at least, you can’t say he didn’t warn you.

Considering that coming of age is a huge theme that record in a lot of King’s work, I’m much more inclined to let the one instance slide as a bad attempt at making a metaphor that went way wrong, than I am to let off an author for whom the pedophilia/etc keeps coming up again and again, a la Piers Anthony.

Goodkind started at bdsm, and the streets right into thinly-veiled right wing political screeds. Just, blech (even if not quite on par with the whole pedophilia-rape endorsements etc)

Reporting for duty!

The experience is definitely different depending on where you’re from, and if you’re actually trying to live there rather than just as a tourist/exchange student/etc. It’s not to say everyone is horrible, but some people certainly are, to varying degrees. Trying to trip foreigners up with use of obscure kanji on…
