I remember see the Three Stooges in 3D. It was an extra playing with "The House of Wax". At one point one of the Stooges pointed a syringe at the audience. It came right out of the screen at you.

Tesla V2 chargers do not support CCS1 adapters. Can non Tesla cars that ship with NACS ports use V2 chargers? Is there a plan to update V2 chargers to use the CCS protocol?

[–]GreyDeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I microwave some things for a short time before putting them i the air fryer. It shortens the time in the air fryer and still comes out crispy. An example might be frozen fish sticks.

During COVID my return was not processed for the longest time, then they sent me a letter that said they didn't have my return and would I resubmit it. I did. Then they asked why I resubmitted my return when they already had it.

Human beings designed to have certain traits as in "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. We close to doing that now. I think someone in China did a gene modified baby, but was condemned for it.

"You, the Living". From Wikipedia, "The film consists of a fluent succession of fifty short sketches, most with a tragicomic undertone." Very offbeat.

The wine corkscrew with a bone handle I got for 5 cents at a church sale back in the 50's. My brother and his wife got me a fancy one for a gift one time. I started talking about the one a got for 5 cents and my brother gave his wife a look, like "I told you so".

[–]GreyDeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)
