“I had a gun every day, I felt safe with it”

While the fire starter is a bit practical if you really need it, the idea of putting it in pillows or as packing material is kinda gross since the trap collects any loose dirt and other items you don’t want and that did not get removed during the wash cycle.

I don’t let my 9 year old smoke in bed any more

It’s hilarious that you’re attempting to defend the shoe thing. Because of one man who had a shoe explosive that didn’t even work in 2001, we all still have to take our shoes off? Come on man. This is the worst example of security theater (see also: belts) - it’s inconvenient and affects just about everyone, so…

I think the bulk of that is not allowing non-ticketed people to the gates and locking the cockpit door during the flight. The guys saying you have to take off your shoes and make you take your laptop out of your bag and aren’t allowed liquids of more than 3oz are a scam.

Did they stop using the words “Pastes or gels”? PB has never been questioned with regards to their liquid rules.

“a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.”

Ah security theater. It’s so cute.

This isn’t a new ruling. I found an article from 2017 that also talked about peanut butter on airplanes.

Question: If I freeze my bottle of water so that it’s solid, can I take it on the plane? Also, what’s the stance on liquids encased in a solid structure? Can I convert my peanut butter to a massive Reese’s Cup form for transport, like our American forefathers once shipped their rum as molasses?

Is sand a liquid? It takes the shape of its container, more efficiently than peanut butter does.

That is a fair point. Logan Marshall Green taking off his helmet, for example, I can chalk up to him just being a brash, impulsive jerko. Samesies for how he’s such a sad sack despite making the most important scientific discovery of all time.

I literally checked out at “Hey, let’s poke the alien snake thingy! What’s the worst that could happen?”

Prometheus had some good ideas but was both too boring and the characters too stupid to get reasonably engaged with. Once the scientists started playing with an alien oil snake with predictable results I nearly checked out. The Prometheus rolling on its edge like a giant doughnut while Theron outran it (instead of…

Next...on Greys....

...it just may finally be time, in the words of Dwayne Hicks, to call game over, man.

Prometheus was a slasher movie wrapped in a high concept, heady sci-fi drama that just didn’t make sense as both. It’s a real opposite “you got peanut butter in my chocolate” scenario.

I still contend that Prometheus makes far more sense as a typical slasher movie. Shaw is the “last girl” and everyone else is dumb as rocks because they’re supposed to die dramatically.

I know, right? Everybody always mentions that scene from The Wire wear he gets naked and 100% of the audience was like “wtf, I thought he was skinny, but he is actually in the best shape I’ve ever seen”. 

What the fuck. Terrible. This dude was chiseled from granite as recently as 6 months ago. What happened?
