Um ... you keep saying “faster internet”. Where does “internet” come into this discussion? “Internet” is there, and already far far faster than anything the cell phone companies are using currently or have in the pipeline. Please stop saying “faster internet” when the technology you are discussing is ONLY faster cell…

My point is that he didn’t apologise for punching Tymon in the face. He apologise for the incident. It’s a non-apology, apology.

Yeah, but my “recycled” settlers ALSO say the exact same lines ... Bostonian Lady Settler at Starlight Drive-In says the same thing as Other Bostonian Lady Settler at Hangman’s Alley who says the exact same thing as Another Bostonian Lady Settler at Sanctuary Hills, etc. etc. etc. Different hair, different clothes,…

I’m a Mister Coffee man myself. Water filter grounds flip a button and walk away. The full pot lasts me up to 3 days (yup, I will drink 3 day old coffee that I reheat in a microwave rather than pour it out and make a new pot). Ain’t nuthin more convenient for the price, and I ain’t willing to pay extra for “fancy”…

I haven’t watched the vid up there ... and unless this “secret Deacon” character actually comes out and says he’s Deacon in every instance, then I’m gonna hafta say this ‘easter egg’ is bogus, and that what we see is in all reality just another recycled character model like you initially thought.

I think that’s cool, an acroym as a name, lol! ... I’d steal your idea, but it may be too late as my kids are teenagers now and would probably react negatively to me trying to change their names.

And non-wooden seats.

I can assure you that <snip>

My feeling is that this was a first time we got a ‘comic book superhero movie’ clearly aimed at adult(ish) audiences, and it nailed the whole meta of being a comic book come to life rather than a ‘realistic’ interpretation of a comic ... the whole Deadpool schtick and theme and action was absolutely UNreal, which made…

the aim is to detect birds in time so an alert can be sent to the wind power plant operator to slow down or completely stop the blades

I’ve trusted Sploid & Screen Rant far too many times ... these video listicles are always shitty. Every single one by Screen Rant over promises and under delivers — the teaser images and text both here on Sploid and at the start of every SR vid lead you to think your gonna see a whole bunch of cool stuff about…

My predictions for twenty years hence: I’ll be dead. I’m already over half a century old and the trend is for middle class white guys to die off earlier and earlier.

“Legitimate” doesn’t mean “good” or “nice”. Feel free to look up the word in a dictionary. Saddam Hussein was the legitimate ruler of Iraq, even though a brutal despot. We’ve all seen what good came from the US overthrowing him.

The 4th gear point is about the fear of deflation. It’s a bugaboo ... i.e., false and imaginary threat. Financial analysts ALWAYS trot out the “threat” of deflation whenever some sector gets a little soft. Cheap gas will NOT cause any notable deflation in the prices of consumer goods (as it never has in any previous…

I like the looks of the PW in general, but I can still not get behind or beyond the brutally stupid rebranding of Dodge trucks to “RAM”. Stupid stupid stupid. There has NEVER been a “RAM Power Wagon” ... only Dodge Power Wagons. The RAM brand has NO history or cache. Junk. Pure unadulterated garbage (speaking of the…

Nah, the phrase as written (“a whole ‘nother”) is a very common idiomatic phrase in ‘Murica. It’s poor English, sure, but still a common phrase.

Funnily enough, this was one of my favourite gags in the movie.

“Well I didn’t insinuate that anyone would “care” about what I said before...”

It’s not split at all, it’s simply idiomatic spelling: the leading apostrophe indicates an elided letter or letters. The word as written should be understood to be “another” even when written as “’nother”. It’s not tmesis because there’s nothing interceding between natural components of the word or phrase.

Sanitary? You realize those nuggets are INSIDE a sealed plastic bag? You don’t eat the bag, and the nuggets generally don’t touch the outside of the bag. They go from bag to boiling hot oil that kills anything remotely biological (and deep fries everything, biological or not).
