“I knew it was you, Zazu. You broke my heart.”

Where’s Freemont? I wasn’t aware Tesla had any presence there.

Had a friend that went to work for Tesla in their engineering dept back in 2010. He was a technician and was paid hourly. On average he logged 700 hours of OT each year. The engineer he worked for had a cot in his cubicle and basically lived at the facility during the week. There was another guy that had an RV in the…

The motorcycle stuff has always freaked me out. I work right near a Tesla service center and I’ve got into a few close calls on my way into/out of work. FSD or Auto Pilot just doesn’t recognize me until far too late in most situations and it’s really unnerving. I’ve gotten to the point where I just don’t take my bike…

Stewart Copeland, if only for The Equalizer theme.

What about Goblin’s scores for Suspiria? Goblin also did soundtrack for European release of Romero’s “Zombi” (i.e., Dawn of the Dead as re-cut by Dario Argento). Or, hell, Thom Yorke’s score for Suspiria?

I may be stretching the definition of the word “great” here, but where the fuck is Toto’s rockin’ Dune score?

Since you’re including bands, then obviously Queen. Famously did the scores for Flash Gordon and Highlander.

Fair enough, you state up front that you’re excluding Danny Elfman, but why did you make that decision? One could argue that he set the standard.

LOL, I was just going to post “TF is Knopfler?”

Mark Knopfler, for crying out loud! The Princess Bride! Local Hero!

That’s not an MP, that’s a YP.  

Lifespans of cruise ships are comparatively short at least for the major cruise ship companies. The average life expectancy is around 30 years. Not because the ships wear out but because they keep on coming out with bigger and bigger ships that have more amenities which attracts more passengers. In fact during the…

You didn’t have 500 people working on your house, safe to say.

Pics attached. Initially the ship had a large pilot house in the front and its engines and stacks to the rear; on conversion to a barge the front pilot house was moved to a museum and replaced with a small lookout shed and the rear was converted to instrument, crew, and maintenance.

It’s interesting how ships have life cycles closer to buildings than vehicles. Even the most utilitarian vessel is built with a life cycle of decades in mind, and will be expanded and updated throughout that time. For instance the cargo ship St. Mary’s Challenger was built in 1906, worked the Great Lakes as a cargo…

Texting too.

It is. I hate it almost as much as “it’s giving.”

Even Christopher Nolan was gagged by The Curse’s finale

Hey, it’s Enrico Colantoni!
