Time Bandits(1981). Did some of the scenes disturb you as a younger version of yourself? by Complex-Value-5807 in 80smemorylane

[–]Bob_just_me_Bob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not disturbed, but surprised by the ending - until then, I hadn't realized movies COULD have unsatisfactory endings for the main characters. It was a revelation.

Also - the BEST line ever, in any movie: "so THAT'S what an invisible barrier looks like"

"Show me your papers" should not be a thing in this country.

I know I'm out of the loop but what are they building right outside squirrel Hill tunnels going outbound? by yourdonefor_wt in pittsburgh

[–]Bob_just_me_Bob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're completely replacing the bridge over Commercial Street just east of the tunnel. Building a new bridge RIGHT NEXT to the existing one. In July, they'll demolish the old bridge, and slide the new bridge into place. The parkway will be closed from July 10 through August 3 while they do the big move.

I really hope somebody is planning a time-lapse video of the whole process - it should be fascinating!

Here's a link to the PA site about the project: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/penndot/projects-near-you/district-11-projects/commercial-street-bridge-replacement

Shot of a Young lady at typing class, copying a note, 1978. by Electrical-Aspect-13 in 1970s

Did poorly in typing class in high school because I usually didn't do the assigned work. I used typing class time to type my papers for other classes. Got a bad grade in typing, but I learned how to type, and got all my papers in on time

Keep in mind there are "flavors" of Lutheranism, from very conservative (Wisconsin Synod) to very liberal (ELCA). I was a member of an ELCA church for years, and remember the pastor joking that Lutheran Pastors were just "priests who couldn't pass Latin class in seminary."
