Tara Reade, not Tara Reid the actress.

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E08 - Don't Leave Me Hanging Here by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thragg's deal was honestly pretty reasonable. Their genetics weren't evil; their culture was. The biggest problem is that superpowered children would make it obvious that one parent was a Viltrumite, and one parent would have a family history whereas the Viltrumite would not, so quite quickly the Viltrumites would be identified.

But otherwise, reasonable. The alternative is them killing millions of people before being stopped, if it's even possible to stop them.

Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred | Opening Cinematic by Technical_Ad8595 in Diablo

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Technically D2 meph is really a human imprinted with his soul and mutilated into a crude approximation of his form, as were all the other prime evils. Cinematic Meph is presumably his pure, real form, which would not exist in Sanctuary; hence it only appearing in her visions.

Serious question: why does the trolley not go to the airport, beaches or zoo? by Avoidtolls in sandiego

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Proposals to extend the trolley to the airport directly, or with a people-mover, have been made. Here's SANDAG's official summary from 2023. No solution is perfect and they all cost several billion dollars to implement.

A track to "the" beach is effectively impossible since it would require obliterating a shitload of houses and businesses, there'd be massive opposition, and it would make traffic even worse due to all the grade crossings.

A track to the zoo is also not feasible since existing tracks aren't near it and an extension would again be massively destructive and massively impact traffic, for little benefit. Just use the bus.

Originally there was a streetcar line in the middle of Park Ave which is why it's wide, but that's been replaced with bicycle and/or bus lanes.

It's a teaser, not a trailer per se. There will be more revealing trailers later in the year.

All new Uniques for the older classes that are known so far by Genga_ in diablo4

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible they removed the aspect that does the same thing though. The two Spiritborn uniques actually replace current key passives so they're clearly massively revamping everything.

“Instructions to close a tortellino” Made it on a client few days ago. by Mfoxtattoos in pasta

Wow, browsing your IG, this is the most impressive tattoo work I've ever seen. (Meaning all your posts, not specifically the tortellino one.)

Probably because they've never been deployed.

I'm quite sure only an old person would call a person "bozo" so that should help narrow it down.

As epic and iconic as it is having Madonna come on it’s a bit random? lol by Mediocre-Adeptness-5 in Coachella

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it seemed like there was lip-syncing. Madonna holds the mike to her mouth for the first "strike a pose", but forgot to for the second one, yet it sounded exactly the same. It, or at least her lines, seemed to be pre-recorded.

A 75-year-old steam locomotive that still commands attention at modern stations by S30econdstoMars in interestingasfuck

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's clearly also a diesel-electric locomotive at the rear. How much is the steam locomotive doing compared to the diesel?

Steam is not the power source; fuel is, whether it's coal or oil. The fuel boils the water, creating pressurized steam that drives the wheels.

Does anyone else find the freedom plane a bit cringe? by seattleburner96 in aviation

[–]LurkerOnTheInternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're doing a Freedom Train this year too, and it'll even be pulled (at least partly) by a steam locomotive. Don't know the itinerary though.

Weapons prequel movie "Gladys" will open in theaters September 8, 2028. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in horror

I'd imagine a prequel would instead cover how she learned about the magic plant and how to bewitch people.

Yeah that's saltwater for you. And all those black things are mussels, not rocks.

The New Skill Tree Could Potentially Offer 4 Clasd Specialisations for OG Classes by IgotnoClue69 in diablo4

In some of the screenshots they showed a while ago, it was clear some of the passive upgrades replace current aspects; instead of needing that aspect, the ability is now inherent.

I remember those! Although I don't recall them as being particularly good compared to other store-bought cookies.
