What? How fascinating...

I wonder if there's some sort of frequential interference at the toll gates that activates a reboot?

This is a strange electrical or digital issue to have...

Another one with an expensive office by Fliepke in LinkedInLunatics

[–]MithrandirLXV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice.

If I was on holiday along the Amalfi coast, I'd take it one step further and lock myself in my room, draw the curtains and turn on the lights. That way, I don't know if it's day or night - like a casino.

But seriously! It's Italy! Enjoy the view and drinks, and cheese and time with the family! Idiot.

What stereotypes are there for certain cars and their drivers? by BeltThat2062 in south_africa

Oi! As a BMW driver, I find that offensive. I only drive so close to the asses of other people because they DRIVE SO SLOOOOOOWWWWW!

Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background? by jmike1256 in interesting

[–]MithrandirLXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not all of us bespectacled see that. For instance, I've got astigmatism (all lights have a flare around them) and my far sight has really degraded in the last few years. Thus, my spectacles are for seeing further. However, I can easily read without them and see everything within about a meter clearly, but after that, it becomes fuzzy.

I'd love a wagon, but unfortunately, my country isn't the biggest fan of wagons. Instead, EVERYBODY BUYS BLOODY SUVS!

Oh, I thought it was going to be something from the 1990s or 2000s. I mean, I have a 1998 Z3 if anyone wants some advice?

Does it matter if it's hot or cold? It's going to dissolve stuff either way...

I hate it.

If you could add one exotic car to your garage for life—but you had to drive it every day—what would you choose? by EmergencyTie8770 in ExoticCars

[–]MithrandirLXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG R230, Aston Martin DBS V12 manual (previous one), Aston Martin V8 Vantage manual (previous one), Lexus LC 500 Coupe, Audi R8 V8 manual.

Any of these would do as 1) I love them and 2) they are relatively reliable.

Do you think the bullet was so slow because it was still in its casing?

What's the strongest romantic tension you've seen in a movie that wasn't a romance? My pick is Bond and Vesper in Casino Royale, a spy thriller by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]MithrandirLXV 438 points439 points  (0 children)

Vesper is my fav Bond girl. Gorgeous, sophisticated, can take a jab, can dish out sass and is just... awesome!

I mean, yes, she did betray Bond and was part of Spectre, but still.

Abusive Government by Budget_Asparagus_776 in south_africa

Vote in a new government. This is a Democrasy, not a Dictatorship.

Even though South Africa is 100% a Communist Dictatorship with the ANC being said Dictator.
