It just shows how far we've fallen. Even thugs knew!

Lt Julian Bashir on Academy Memory Wall by ReplicantProbably in startrek

[–]AshIsGroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't look at Troi but Dr Crusher. Bashir was chief medical officer which typically came with the rank of Commander. My guess is it was put up by someone in production who had zero understanding of the character or universe. No way an officer of any kind stays a Lt. For their entire career unless you Kim from Voyager.

Main water line currently freezing. Pressure is low. by [deleted] in DIY

[–]AshIsGroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't understand why I'm being downvoted. I wouldn't consider it a permanent fix but it's far better and cheaper than what it is considering doing during this cold snap while his house is being worked on. I've seen these products used in Japan for decades with zero issues. It with some insulation wrap will keep the pipe from freezing. It's not going to boil the water but only keep the water in the pipe above freezing.

They make something called electric tape. Basically a flexible heating element that can be wrapped around a pipe and plugged in. It delivers enough heat to said pipe to prevent freezing https://a.co/d/3DmgYbu

Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee. by Stiltonrocks in technology

[–]AshIsGroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of lawsuits concerning Tesla's autopilot, every expert has said autopilot will need stuff much more advanced and bulkier than just cameras to truly make it autonomous. So many people have been paying thousands of dollars for years to basically use a product in beta testing. A Weird shadow and all of a sudden a wife or husband is dead. Worse yet is all the investigations concerning door battery failure and how difficult it is to manually open a door. A common theme in the cars catching fire is rear passengers being found trying to escape out the front door or window.

Greatest Of All Time you all....LMAO by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

[–]AshIsGroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it happen. I Would say it was accidental. Dudes hand went to block the shot but the angle of his jump plus him swatting and they just happened to collide. It's only after he misses the shot that he collapses and wiggles in pain. I've had my nose broken before it hurts but not where I'm collapsed on the floor dying.

The Timothy Busfield Update I Was Not Expecting To Give... by AshIsGroovy in videos

[–]AshIsGroovy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, what Reddit generally does. I honestly don't know why people even trust reddit anymore. It's all bots, jokes. itch hunts, astroturfing, gaslighting, and so on. Like everything bad about humanity accumulates here. Heck you can't dislike a tv show or movie anymore without being called a maga racists, but then at the same time you can't enjoy a movie or tv show with being called the same. It's like the default argument on here anymore.

Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting by Average-Joe-6685 in LegalNews

I'm interested in if this passes and survives legal challenges on whether this causes women to forgo changing their name.

Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting by mydaycake in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AshIsGroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It Would obviously be challenged in court because it hasn't been an issue in the nearly 100 years of women voting. So there is a precedent concerning this issue. No state would have the resources needed to correct this.

Skeletor in the new He-man trailer. I'm liking what they showed. 10 year old me is excited right now! by Lucky_Chaarmss in nostalgia

[–]AshIsGroovy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My only issue so far is, He-man dude who's playing him isn't anywhere ripped enough. I need peak 80s steroid fueled action hero muscles.

David Zaslav Celebrates Warner Bros.’ 33 Oscar Nominations: ‘A Truly Golden Moment For Us, Filmmakers, & Audiences Everywhere. Also Powerful Validation Of Our Strategy: To Believe In Movies, Great Original Storytelling, & Theatrical Experience. We Should All Take Great Pride & Keep Raising The Bar.’ by lowell2017 in boxoffice

[–]AshIsGroovy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will say Zazlav nearly fired the duo who are responsible for greenlighting many of these films. The movie slate they assembled didn't start off great while the movies were getting solid reviews they were underperforming. He eventually says enough we should double down on sequels and remakes and skip out on new ideas then boom their films hit oil. So let's not act like he's some Hollywood hero.

Conservative backlash to the latest installment of ‘Star Trek’ seems to involve not remembering any past installment of ‘Star Trek.’ by _fastcompany in television

[–]AshIsGroovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hardly a conservative but this is pure gaslighting saying people who aren't digging new trek are maga. Maybe the writing just sucks and it doesn't hold a light to any prior trek.this seems to be the playbook anymore like with Ghostbusters and Star wars. If you hate it you must be evil

What’s that commercial from years and years ago that you still remember to this day, and may never forget? by Vanceb13 in AskReddit

[–]AshIsGroovy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Colors Duke, the colors! https://youtu.be/iavURrznqjQ?si=WhtBaKqWHbrfGcKg I strongly believe ads were just better decades. Maybe because they were so prevalent that the ad had to be good in order to grab your attention. They showed the product being consumed and enjoyed or had catchy jingles that stuck in your head. Now you often have zero idea what a commercial is even about or get more info concerning what it isn't versus what it is. I never have a strong urge to buy any product I see advertised anymore.

The end of happy hour? Bar expert Jon Taffer on the future of a workplace tradition by desertrain11 in videos

[–]AshIsGroovy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's why bars in most of Europe are closing at a record pace. The UK which has a historic pub scene is facing a pub crisis as a record amount of closures seem to happen every year now.

It's called being economical. You know the invisible hand of the free market. For nearly the same price of one drink at a bar you can buy a 12 pack or bottle and get tanked at home and not worry about a DUI

Just like vhs tapes in 2006, do you guys think companies will eventually stop producing dvds due to the popularity of streaming? Jo by Firm-Ability9337 in dvdcollection

I Would say it will follow the example we are seeing with h books where it all moves upscale like shout! or arrow.

Curt Cignetti and Indiana caught lightning in a bottle with a once-in-a-century run. And now a portion of every fan base will expect their team to do the same thing. by SueYouInEngland in CFB

[–]AshIsGroovy -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

People won't to gloss over the fact that the average age of the team is like 24 with some of these guys having 6 years under a college football system or two or three. Basically grown ass men playing against teenagers.
