Would anyone be discussing this if the director and star were both male? How many times have people applauded directors in the past for sticking to their vision, or actors for their process clashing to get a performance. Maybe this doesn’t apply here, but why would it matter. Maybe they clashed and still made a movie,…

They kept him out so they can keep him alive until trial. They probably don’t, and shouldn’t, trust the county to house him. The other option is up at the big house in Leavenworth, and I’m not sure they want a serial abuser of minority children and a former cop in that population either. It would be nice if they gave…

I would bet there is one controller, 3 motors, and one battery pack that makes all the new models. Most of the small displacement bikes like this are in the 5-9hp range. The Grom with its 125cc makes 9.7, so Making an electric motor that can be adapted for power that low is easy and cheapish. The batteries and…

We are comparing Volcano and Dante’s Peak for .... summer movies...  when we have a perfectly good Deep Impact / Armageddon right there in 1998.  

80's GM 2.8 v6. It was dissonant noise with no acceleration or torque. It was mostly drowned out by rattles and bangs from the interior, body, suspension, and engine bay. Every 80s S10 Blazer 4x4 with this engine also had the exhaust note overpowered by the knocking of the CV shafts. All the CV shafts were always bad,…

The Thunderbird should have been a 2 door or convertible version of the marauder, a whole different car that was too good/weird to wear a mercury badge. Imagine a T-Bird/Cougar build  with a v8 and rwd in the mid 00's.   

Maybe we make an app for street crossings that force all autonomous cars stop and wait until the crossing is clear. If the car knows where it’s going, and the lights know where it’s going, then there is no reason it should be able to move with people in the street.

Being in Kansas, I understand the “red state” of it all, but we have a Democrat as governor and a history of moderate policy. There are lurches of crazy, but they often get pushed back the next time around. I’m voting NO, and in my area the NO signs are out everywhere. Driving through small towns, its split, but still…

The Toyota MR2 was sold in France as the Toyota MR because M-R-Deux sounds like Merde, or Shit in French.

Monster squad V. Little monsters is a better comparison. Lost Boys V Buffy is dead on. 

I liked both as a kid, but Monster Squad is full of stuff that doesn’t need to be in there. Homophobic language, weird child sexualization, and pointless horror name dropping. Plus the vampire is in a different movie acting against the rest of the cast. Its a weird tone.

So, the last item about rabies. Radiolab did a great podcast about that years ago covering the risks, the symptoms, and the treatments for rabies at all stages. It also includes a sound bite of a late stage rabies victim, and even with sound is not for the faint of heart, but its a great deeper dive into the subject.…

I loved Jurassic Park and saw it 4 times the summer I turned 11. I realized the the director has also made ET and Jaws, and all of my beloved Indiana Jones movies. When his next movie came out, I rode my bike to the theater near my grade school and got a ticket. I was not prepared for, first, a 3 hour film, and…

The R8 total gearbox change in 2000 was wild to watch. 

This gets to the answer. In their eyes, god gives every child and god punishes those who cant have children. It’s all about control. An established couple that has trouble with pregnancy is harder to ensnare than a child who now has a child. Plus, if you get rid of IVF, and with that surrogacy, state contracted…

This plant will be going into a defunct army munitions plant that has stood empty for years. All the other development of the area fell though due to environmental issues from the previous industrial waste and run off.

came here to say this.

I had many cars over the years I regret selling,(Aw11 mr2, FCrx7, 944, saab 900 turbo, weirdly a 97 nissan hardbody pickup) but two still hurt.

It’s wrong, but you might be surprised at how many students will push back against that pressure.
