What’s amusing (well, not really given the outcome) was that despite making illegal passes itself the blue car doesn’t bother to check if someone else is doing the same thing before making its move.  “How dare you!”

TIL Coney Dogs aren’t from the Coney Island in New York

Every town with a greek pizza joint in America has a version of this I would bet. We just don’t call it a “Hani.” One I went to a few years ago called it “Fried Chicken Gyro” so.... yeah. Not sure this is actually regional. 

I live in the Detroit area, and recall reading that Freep article. It was another apparent case of the Freep taking a press release, applying mild editing, and calling it a “story”.

I will defend the left turn arrow. No it’s not warranted at every single intersection, but it is really necessary in certain spots where you would probably need to sit through 4 or 5 light cycles before you could even hope to get a gap. 

Someone could at least call someone else a cuck, for crying out loud.

Nah dude - you nailed the joke. People who replied to you either never watched Sopranos or totally whiffed.

You can get capsules again for some OTC meds for a while now but, yeah. For a while they were completely off the market. Caplets exist because some people liked the shape for swallowing better than disc shaped tablets and capsules weren’t available for a long time.

It’s hard to overstate how big the Tylenol poisonings were.  Tamper evident seals are so ubiquitous that you hardly even notice them now, but they didn’t exist before those murders.  They created an entire industry that everybody just accepts as part of everyday life now without a thought.

Yeah everybody drank as teens in the 1980s (born 1970). And security was non-existent anywhere. Even in the early 1990s you got your grades in university by looking at a printout posted on your professor’s door - listed by social security number for “privacy” - nobody questioned having that being used to “anonymize”…

This reply is too mature and well-reasoned for the internet.

I just think of it started a few years ago of when people would interview Dan Patrick they would ask him about the relationship, and Dan always tried to be polite at first and said they were just coworkers. Then after years of people being dumbfounded that oh these guys who defined 2 person Sports Center weren’t…

I think that’s the Marty McFly syndrome, where the parents don’t seem to remember that “Calvin Klein” looks exactly like their younger son.

the speeches would be drowned out by Zimmer, for one....

I remember thinking the country was like a giant cloud of smoke, where it wasn’t too bad on the West Coast but the further east you got, the more thick it was. Also, there was the dread of the potential of being stuck in smoking sections on flights as a kid even through early adulthood - and a memory of the Europeans…

Man, ‘80s weed sucks...

Kids those days is right. I think about teen behavior in the 80s and 90s (Gen X’er here) that would have many of today’s kids appalled. A lot of it was the lack of supervision - no phones, social media, etc. - so you could really just completely disappear and leave no trace of your bad behavior.

Yep, that was my reaction. Not a classic, but pretty funny, at times slightly scary and gory, and something I wouldn’t mind watching again in a few months or seeing if they can successfully rework the same formula in a sequel. Haven’t been a lot of movies like that recently.

also enjoyed! *spoiler* I was a little sad they didn’t save the girlies who were murdered, whose biggest sin was being a little dumb. but maybe they are hoping for a sequel.

The better ending would’ve been Walt, in his Y-fronts, cammed- and oiled-up like Arnie in Commando, hosing down Meth Damon’s gang and tossing off one-liners.
