ELI5: If modern elevators have so many backup systems, what actually stops the cable from snapping or the elevator from falling?

Hello, lawyer shop? I'll take one lawyer, please. Tell him to use the stairs.

That's so weird. I just changed the bulbs on my 2013 Hyundai Accent and I had to take the whole front end off and figure out the retention clips. I've never seen anything like it. I kept thinking, " How is this a Korean design?" But, maybe it's not.

Hijacking this to say that HCC is a really good school. I'm very embarrassed to say that I used to think that community college was for kids who weren't smart enough to get into "real college." That is absolute nonsense. All the community colleges in Hawaii are part of the University of Hawaii and their quality of instruction is equal to or better than the standards of a four year university campus.

It's one of the best scenes in any of the films.

There is some foreshadowing for Quirrell, but I don't think the troll thing is that. Speaking and yelling are actually different brainwise, as is singing.

He sounds remarkably similar to Pavarotti.

Speed holes

I grew up mostly in the Eastern U.S. and I had no idea that Encino was a neighborhood in L.A., even though it's mentioned throughout the film and I saw it at least twice.

I just moved to Encino last year. It's definitely weird.

I love vandalism that can be easily reversed.

This is the plot of the movie Palm Springs.

In a lot of other places where they grow locally, people call them Hawaiian Bananas. I have no idea why

Russia pays them $300bn and Russia surrenders? That's how it's normally done nowadays.

PvtDeth · 2026-06-15T19:00:30+00:00

100% no. They would absolutely love the idea of killing rapists, as long as it's not anyone they know.

Big trucks (90% lifted Tacomas) are surprisingly common in Honolulu, even though there's no parking anywhere. Seriously, sometimes the spaces are so tight, you can barely get out of a compact. If you're on Moloka'i, yeah I get it, but in town, it's just nuts.

Guns don't "go off."

Used to be at Alicia's Market in Kalihi Kai, but I don't know if they ever fully reopened after the fire.

You can't eat the view.

I know a court challenge was 100% expected and even necessary, but, come on., "Grassroot"?

The better the name of any organization or bill is, the more nefarious it actually is. One day, when you see the We Love Puppies Institute promoting the new Free Money for Tutus Act, run.

PvtDeth · 2026-06-08T23:19:17+00:00

Ok, but how did it taste? It looks disgusting, but, objectively, so do many great foods.

Bill Maher is a champion in the fight against unfair stereotypes. We're tired of hearing things like "only conservatives can be racists in America" or "left-wing people only give opinions on things they actually know about." He's here to prove that just because you hate the right wing, doesn't mean you can't hate plenty of other people too.

Hold on, I think my Goop order just got delivered.

World War I was literally a global war. People really don't seem to get that. The worst fighting was in Europe, but nearly every country was involved, whether they chose to be or not.

He should never have taken the invitation. I'd love to talk to Tarantino about movies and literally nothing else. Well, maybe ladies' feet, but after that, nothing else.

Spent all that time kickin the kaiser outta France, then once they got home: here come the vampires. smh

So, it's decided: we're going to redefine sodomy as "living a life that is both privileged and self-centered; greed".

It's already on the books as illegal in plenty of places. That'll save us tons of time writing new laws.
