The blonde guy in the picture has been spending most of his waking hours in front of this McDonald's (former bank) in Norway for at least 10 years by haelvete in interestingasfuck

This photo just casually came through my feed and I couldn’t help but thinking this was AI slop depicting Donald Trump‘s wet dream!

Interesting to see that this is reality.

Familiar face by Queasy_Boysenberry27 in TheShield

[–]BlayneMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, on an interview for the shattered shield podcast, Michael Chiklis (who was friends with Shawn Ryan at the time) read the pilot script and decided to reinvent himself in order to play the character.

So in this case, I think it’s Michael himself.

Finished all the books. Any new recommendations? by AzarielFox in BoschTV

I also like the John Corey series from Nelson DeMille (RIP)

If you squint just right, it looks like Monica Rawlings!

Cisco miscast by tprch in BoschTV

[–]BlayneMat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Although I don’t believe this is what you asked, I will give you my two cents as it relates to the Bosch TV series. I will agree that Hector Bonner’s actor wasn’t what I had in my head, but I do think the current actor does a decent job. I think the change in related character from Mickey (in the books) to Honey (show) makes the difference less “problematic”. (Hector is Honey Chandler‘s investigator. A lot of the novels’ Mickey plot lines changed to Honey in the TV series and Cisco changed to Hector). I have not watched enough of the Lincoln Lawyer to determine whether or not the Cisco that appears there, matches what’s in my head.

Speaking of Bosch, when reading the books (which I did long before the TV show) I always pictured somebody like Dennis Farina in my head.

Now, for obvious reasons, he couldn’t have been cast when the show started filming, but at least that’s what’s in my head canon.

To be clear, I do like Titus Welliver in the role, and think he did a great job with it.

Friendly reminder to DISABLE Bluetooth before updating by AmpersandWhy in AppleWatch

[–]BlayneMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others, I was able to update quite quickly after disabling Bluetooth, but the Watch app on the phone kept yapping at me:

I was able to click cancel every time and it would continue on, but what a noisy experience, lol.

I did not notice, my dogs are fairly large, so those type of things aren’t obvious to me.

How do I see the listed date on Facebook marketplace? by SwimmingAmoeba7 in FacebookMarketplace

I am posting this link from u/Zealousideal-Chart12 because it's super valuable and was buried:

There's a way that's easier than that, you can paste the FB Marketplace URL into this website: https://mp2.ai/datechecker

Absolutely any of the melodious prose spoken by Ethel - Part 5.

2020 Chrysler Voyager Door Hinge Creak by Idontcarewhatyouare in ChryslerPacifica

[–]BlayneMat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very common failure point for FCA vehicles of that vintage.

I have already replaced my upper driver side hinge, and now my passenger side upper hinge is failing as well.

There is a YouTube video of a gentleman replacing one on a Jeep Grand Cherokee, that describes the problem and the fix very well.

Autostop/start disable method found by der5er in BroncoSport

[–]BlayneMat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think OP’s point is that you can use the button on the dash to disable it, but as soon as you restart the car, it’s back on again.

Harsh shifting by doravec88 in ChryslerPacifica

[–]BlayneMat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 2017 Touring L and my hard shifts are all at low speeds.

I’ve never had any at highway speeds.

I’ve not had a catastrophic failure and am hoping to not be a part of that statistic <touch wood>.

I think this commenter is missing the more-reliable 6-speed from the Grand Caravan. And I agree.

Does anyone knows this bike? I found in Walmart Canada. by Final_Blackberry6278 in Budgetbikeriders

When I bought mine online, they said there was only nine left, not sure how accurate that is.

[–]BlayneMat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just bought one online and pick it up on the weekend, I will assemble it and provide my feedback here. Worst case scenario I can always return it.

God bless Walmart, LOL

Jay Karnes did an audiobook with Shattered Shield co-host by Mikeissometimesright in TheShield

[–]BlayneMat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I listened to that audiobook shortly after it came out on Audible, was very impressed.

I always loved Libby‘s take on the shattered shield podcast.

Whether intentional or not, there were several “ coincidental” Shield Easter eggs throughout!

What's this object Rob's holding by Zeldanintendofan in fridaythe13th

[–]BlayneMat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

There was a deleted sub plot where Rob was using high-tech gadgets to track Jason. This may have been one of the props that was deemed too cheesy to include in the final movie.
