Yoko Kanno is still around.

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.

I could probably find you a cheaper place anywhere else. Well, except maybe San Francisco.

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,…

It’s well worth it. Alternately you can watch the two Macross Frontier movies, False Songstress and Wings of Goodbye, which condense and cover the same story (albeit with a few changes), if you don’t have the time for the entire TV season. (It’s good though, and has a lot of shout outs to classic Macross)

It’s that Harmony Gold insists on getting a cut of anything new, and interjects themselves into the process. Thus, having something like Macross Frontier or Macross Delta get released in the US, or even put on streaming services, is not just a matter of Bandai doing the usual thing and signing a deal with…

Have you checked out Macross Frontier? Yoko Kanno did the music for that as well, and it turned out great. Definitely worth a look.

The latter two were pretty forgettable, comparatively. The first one (Macross) didn’t change much at all, except for some fudging with the changed meaning of the word protoculture into an energy source so as to fuel the narrative of the latter parts. And if that was all it was, it would be relatively fine, given the…

“Who does this f*cking guy think he is, Lynn Minmei?”

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....
