Yeah, I don’t see what kind of a franchise you could build out of Ghostbusters. It’s not like there’s this wealth of material to build on. There’s the original movie, which everybody loves and remembers. There’s a sequel with the original cast, which in the tradition of ‘80s and ‘90s sequels has been mostly forgotten…

Frankly, I always thought the narrative of the first WW to be incredibly weak (and, tbh, anti-feminist) as well. There were some really cool shots, and I think Gal Gadot makes a great Diana, but the movie as a whole?

So you’re telling me the left lane is for passing only, correctly cite that many states (my own included) have this on the books as law, but I’m to consider this a myth? It’s law here. You get ticketed for it.

It’s part of the branding, I think. Star Wars was corporate as hell even before Lucas sold out to Disney — I cannot imagine working under Rick McCallum and thinking, “Wow, my lifetime dreams of independent filmmaking have been fulfilled” — but the image was always that of bold mavericks confronting the status quo and…

Now if only he would do a twitter poll to ask the people if he should delete all his social media and never return, as well as step down from the Telsa board.

Someone did a good thing and doesn’t want to be credited for it? Just... good for goodness sake?

“Nor’easter crashed a docked boat into a bridge in Florida”

The “surprise visit” component was obviously bad and probably illegal in most states. The other aspects though? I can’t really fault them. “Background noise” is woefully generic, and you’re right - a bullpen in a call center is hardly silent. By the same token, it most likely does not also have many of the noises that…

TL;DR: journalist is annoyed about having to change the clock on the cooker, decides to go on sarcastic rant instead of actually looking at the reasons for and reasons against and what the record states about why it isn’t implemented yet.

it set the clock back again for farmers who wanted another early morning work hour

So the website says that some of these things require physical installation (i.e. options or trim on a car) but the site “implies” that they don’t.

Even if the vehicle was stalled out, the incline of the bridge would allow gravity to roll the vehicle back out onto solid ground without harm.

The report that the poor lady died after being ejected from the car is also a timely reminder to everyone else that, seriously, always belt up no matter how short the trip.

It seems open and shut because you chose fantastically draconian perspectives on the matter:

Sooo....Why aren’t the defaults the calibrated, accurate, sure-to-present-the-show-as-intended modes that are on every TV? Why are those modes always stashed away deep in the (buggy, laggy) menus somewhere, and why is it that all the options you need to untick to make your TV work correctly automatically re-enable…

I know one thing scarier than the car loans - is the software behind this website. It takes a pretty crazy amount of effort to crash Chrome browser with ads. Somehow they figured it out.

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see where things go from here — just a passing look at what happened a decade ago.

I think part of the problem is “horror” is many genres. I mean we don’t have a genre called “excitement” — we describe what the excitement is about — superheroes, science fiction, spies, cops, whatever, and people are free to like some of those and hate others. The same is true for horror. I don’t like slasher movies…
