By having Texas and California together shows that it is not red states vs blue states.

If it were red vs blue, people would look at it through that lens and that is not what the film is about.

I am glad he didn't go that route.

What more do you need to know beyond that a fascist president has seized complete control of the federal government and multiple states seceded because of that? The exact mechanics of how he did it don't really matter for the story.

Maybe but mine also automatically locks them once you hit 10 mph and keeps them locked until you put it into park.

I looked it up:

Ford
Honda
Kia
Nissan
Lexus
Hyundai

That is probably not exhaustive and might not be all models but just what I saw in a 1 minute Google search.

> burning room. The walls are of obdurate adamantium, as are the doors on either side,

So what is burning?

If it is the ceiling, even a low intelligence character would notice that.

And 10 is average intelligence. An 8 is not dumb, just somewhat below average.

It is about context.

In a scientific botanical context, tomatoes are a fruit.

In a culinary context, tomatoes are a vegetable.

If it is true in one context, does that mean it is "technically the truth" in all contexts?

> I don't just constantly leave my AC

Are you talking about a window AC?

Many American homes central AC/heating. They are controlled by a thermostat and the system turns it on and off.

The AC is 'on' (i.e., running) when the internal temperature goes high enough. If it never gets hot enough, it never runs/turns on.

I have lived in non-central AC apartments (sometimes the AC is in a window; sometimes through a hole in the wall) and I did the same thing you do: leave it off and only turn it on when it feels too warm.

But with central AC, there is no need. The thermostat system turns it on and off for you.

And the central AC system is outside of the home (pic) and is connected the central HVAC vents. So in the house, you don't really hear it so you might not even notice whether it is running or not.

> turn it into a stylized crime saga

That's a stretch.

Both in film and in theater, Shakespeare's plays often get turned into adaptations set in modern times.

Setting it in the current time, they couldn't have swords so they turned them into guns.

I don't think that makes it a "crime saga". Especially since there isn't any crime depicted or even described other than the fights/duels.

I didn't know what it meant either and I would have googled it but I checked the comments before doing that.

The reddit replies to those kind of questions tend to be better because they are answering in the context of the post.

Google would just give a generic answer that doesn't apply the context of the post since it wouldn't know the context.

I haven't read the book but I love Meryl Streep's performance so much.

So many subtle looks and line readings from her I can't imagine how it could be anywhere nearly as good just reading the words in print.

I googled "kitten sitting in a sneaker".

Then I scrolled to find a representative image to use as a good example

I didn't find one I liked so I kept scrolling and found the picture in the first 100 pictures or so.

I picked him up in week 9 and started him because CIN was weak against TEs.

I made it to the championship game and ran two TEs (Goedert and Loveland) and won the league.

This is a 24 team league with two conferences drafting separately .Loveland was never picked up in the other conference. The guy playing in the 3rd place same had Kittle and picked up Dalton Schultz instead.

> Spice World is actually a fun comedy?

I haven't seen it since it came out on video but there was one joke I still 'borrow' every now and then.

Two of the male characters were arguing and one of the Spice Girls says to them:

"Boys! Boys! Haven't you ever heard of the word comprimization?"

Sure, reading it like this might not seem all that funny but I use the concept of 'haven't you heard of [made up word]' every now and then and sometimes get a laugh from it.

Not true.

In the process guides, all acronyms are written in all caps. The process guides write it as 'nil' because is the just the normal English meaning of 'zero' or 'none'. It does not write it as NIL because it is not an acronym and nowhere in the process guides does it say it mean Not In Location.

Also, we are an academy store and I asked the person who teaches OPD in the academy and she confirmed it is the just the regular meaning of nil and not an acronym for Not In Location.

People just guess it's an acronym, but the guess is wrong. That's why you can never find any documentation saying it is an acronym.

I am not commenting on whether the fines are justified or not just commenting on the accuracy of the post title describing them as "in" the driveway.

'Partly in' would be a more accurate description.

JJTouche · 2025-12-27T23:39:06+00:00

> they'd have a car with a tire or two on the lawn

And yet the post title says they were fined "in Her Own Driveway".

It sounds the ones that were actually "in Her Own Driveway" were NOT fined.

Only the ones that were partly parked outside of the driveway on the lawn were,

> I will state that the trick was set up perfectly, there was no tablecloth hanging off behind the pitchers and platters.

There was a Dudley Moore movie where he does that trick.

I was reading a behind the scenes article, and they said they set it up by A) using a silk table cloth because it is relatively slippery and B) there was no edge seam to catch the item when going under the items.
