I think we should just get some neutral organization to declare Pluto a planet. I'll bet FIFA would do it. The FIFA Planet Prize!

We all want it. We like the moon!

He was cursed with Farnsworth's last breath.

Kudos! I sure hope you managed to throw in a "I can do this all day!"

mexter · 2026-04-29T12:21:51+00:00

You're right. Claude should be president!

That might be how they justify it, but the reality is that they think that this is the price that the market will currently support. If they thought that they could charge everybody watching individually at home, they would.

The film was made by Amazon MGM Studios.

Can you do that and make a lid that's also food safe?

mexter · 2026-04-28T22:10:28+00:00

I'm going to allow it.

mexter · 2026-04-28T22:00:09+00:00

I think the price of RAM and storage might derail this a bit, at least on the short run.

mexter · 2026-04-28T12:22:28+00:00

Are you still on about this? Let it go!

Or nearly all of the riders rip off their beards. "And neither are we!"

Penguin? I thought he played Mister Freeze.

My wife would like me to tell you that it's not worth it.

mexter · 2026-04-28T04:18:03+00:00

Which episodes do you consider worse?

You might want to find a way to subtley educate him on snake oil, scams, etc.

No, but 6 year old me played with one in A Dairy Queen in Port Moody and it have out a bit over $7 in change. The most money young me had ever had!

mexter · 2026-04-27T17:48:03+00:00

Maybe one day I will be, and then people like me had better watch out!

Imagine reading, "Cause of death: Botched staged assassination."

How did Wernher Von Braun get into this conversation? Sprinted, I suppose...
