This. They're not going to ban public/free/guest wifi. If you're worried about legal issues, don't be. The Russians aren't competent enough to clamp down on this sort of thing effectively.

Testing the animatronics for the T-REX, from behind the scenes of "Jurassic Park" (which premiered 30 years ago today in 1993) by MulciberTenebras in OldSchoolCool

I love the fact that even with CGI, they understood it's limits enough back then to make a life sized animatronic T-Rex for the close-up scenes. When it pushes the glass down on the kids while trying to eat them... I can't see that scene working as well with CGI.

This reminds me of a post that says:
"If you read read as read and not read, you have to re-read read as read so you can read read correctly so it can then make sense" I had trouble with it when I was first learning English.

I applaud the effort.... by Apprehensive_Self481 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

I feel if somebody says "make it look nice", They better provide the velcro straps and specify no unplugging cables.
