I was taught to leave the car in first when parking. Or in reverse if parking on a hill with the front downwards. Also to ALWAYS ALWAYS use the parking brake. That way you’re double secured from the car rolling off. Didn’t know you could start a car without pushing in the clutch. Is that an older cars thing?

Thanks for the info. Hope they figure out what happened. That’s horrible.

Not sure what the quality of this zoo is, but allowing staff to go into the enclosure with their tigers seems like a bad indication. Any serious zoo should have rules about that sort of thing as it’s stressful to the animal and obviously very dangerous to the human.

Fuck for-profit zoos. They’re aften terrible. Non profit zoos that are members of the international zoo associations and keep proper breeding programmes for their animals do a lot of great work for conservation and zoology research however. They’re also much more interesting to visit as they give a great learning…

Batman has to get places in big city traffic so unless the car can fly I don’t see how the 0-60 time is going to make much difference.

A friend of mine changed his name to hers when he married his wife. He felt his name was a bit boring and hers is quite rare and they wanted to pass it on.

So the Scarlett Johansson look is just a mass-market barbie type? I guess that could work, especially if they make a proper point out of it and not just a throw-away remark. They should still have more Japanese characters though, and there’s no reason why a beautiful mass-market model couldn’t be Asian looking.…

Seriously, this thing would have looked tacky even in 1985.

Fantastic! Thanks for the update, that’s really cool! Go see them live if you can. You won’t regret it.

Being in your 30s is perfectly acceptable. I should know. 😉

They’re amazing. Give them a chance to fill your ear canals with melancholy fun adventure times.

If it was possible to die from envy I would be at this moment. I want to move to Montreal.

That Flintstones pic is seriously uncanny valley for me. Ugh.

1. Use snow tires. Good ones.

They’re related issues. There are very few upper class black and brown people after all. If they’re going to succeed on an equal footing they’re going to need a leg up, and not just in the arts. I was at the University of Glasgow last year and my impression is that a large majority of British students there are…

This pic is from about the early 90s. The lady on the right is Gro Harlem Brundtland. She used to be PM, lastly until 1996. Couldn’t find anything a little more recent?

This was so, so good! Can’t wait for the last part! I’m so curious about where Saga will go and if she’ll interact with the main storyline and whether it will tie in with the reunification of the worlds and the scenes from the House of All Worlds we sad in The Longest Journey. And I just noticed, is that the Talisman…

Huh, didn’t even know there was a robot. But then I was born in 83. In Norway. Pretty sure it took the Nintendo a few years to migrate over here and lower enough in price for us plebs to afford them. I remember some of my friends having them when I was around 8 or 10, and then people getting Super Nintendos instead.…

Smartwatches would be a lot more tempting to me if they weren’t all black and vaguely masculine looking. In this case, definitely masculine looking. Sure it’s tech, but a watch still needs to look nice on the person wearing it.
