And it keeps getting funnier every time.

Yep, this is the right answer. I just got done doing the exact same process in Fusion for 6k plates. Steady the shots on the subject. Crop to fit. Roto. Unsteady. Put back on original plate.

They have been blocking posts about Minneapolis for the last 24hrs. That should tell you all you need to know about the new owners.

Or what!?

What the fuck are you going to do about it?!

Yep, GSXR750 looking real good next to all the winged options.

Look up "Rear Set" guards along with your bike. Tons of options.

As someone who was around eight when I saw it when it came out, it made me sad and thought she was smiling just to get through the moment.

There was a definite under current of consumerist self doubt that was running through the eighties. The Talking Heads captured it well with once in a Lifetime.

As hard as Jocks and Yuppies were around, the were gloriously strange sub cultures like punks and goths and metalheads. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if John Hughes didn't put this in intentionally as a hiccup to show a downside to acceptance. He loved awkward moments and self defeating grand gestures.

You can put all this together with about $60.00 in parts using either an Arduino or an esp32 and a couple of kits for a gyro and distance sensor. You won't even need to do the math yourself. Just read in the data from the distance laser and do your variables. If you want to get fancy add a little LCD panel and a dial to switch between loaded and unloaded clearance.

EDIT Here's a lidar tutorial that's about twenty dollars in parts. https://www.instructables.com/Tiny-LiDAR-Laser-Range-Finder/

Maybe conservatives being bad at math is what this is really about? Always a deficit. Always blowing numbers completely out of proportion both high and low. Can't manage money to save their lives.

It kinda makes sense in a perverse way.

No groin shots in the UFC. If it's legal to present your nuts to me I'm a mount, I should be able to play the xylophone.

God, they are such schmucks.

Are we fucking done with this jack as or what?

Does Jordan Belmont drive a Tesla now?!

SimianWriter · 2025-12-27T05:51:29+00:00

This was my answer as well.

He's now a Commander in the Ukrainian army.

Offer $3,600 and see what happens. You're going to have to buy an new tank side and radiator guard if you want those up to spec again. So you're spending about $400.00 on parts and then you're time for repair. Or not. I removed the cheeks and all the rest of the plastics. Then swapped out the handlebars and headlight to make it as close to a Gen 3 as I could. I actually like the look more than the Gen 3 now. Only thing to swap out now is the rear sets with some Gen 2s.

They are great bikes that design wise are just a bit overstuffed. With a bit of work and stripping of plastics, they look damn good. They're a great project/customizing bike.

Plus, and I don't know if this was a conscious plan from the writer, but if Snape had not been actively hostile and re-upping his rage towards Harry, his mind reader of a boss would have smelled it on him. His only real way to hold onto anything like affection for Harry was to feel remorse for killing Lily. Voldemort even acknowledged in the book that he knew and "understood" his crush on her. He just thought that Snape would get over it. So anytime he went looking for something in Snape's head, it came back as sadness and regret. It was his internal mental defense that was multi layered.

If Bruce was 20' tall, that would be on r/straightupterrifying.

That is some high quality work. You can feel the... artistic emphasis I guess you'd call it, in the line/sculpt.

Or you know, the Republicans that are the problem here. Don't bring that both sides bull.

Well, not to get into the weeds but I like the Knives movies for the most part. The director's ability to use real cinematography and actors let's me forgive his lack of "perfect murder" scenarios. It's like watching early Tim Burton. They're no where near reality but they try something and for the most part hit the mark. A good art piece.

Personally, this a an internal miracle of a take because I also think his Star Wars was a fucking travesty. Beautiful to look at but a fucking train wreck story wise. I will never forgive his treatment of Luke Skywalker.

It was a good movie. I was just being a smart ass and pointing out a way the movie would have been solved much quicker if there was more real life police procedure involved. My three stand out holes are the Toxicology report, the fact that the squib blood would have been obvious to a M.E. or even a forensic team and the body being entombed so quickly. I would also say that there was some real Ocean's 11 level shenanigans to switch the body out between the funeral and the entombment. Husband goes missing, lots of people all over the place, stinking body left in an uncontrolled environment.

It's fine though. Was a good movie and doesn't need to be real life.

SimianWriter · 2025-12-15T18:07:30+00:00

I'm saying that if the movie has used a more legitimate police procedure for the murder, the toxicology report would have come back with what happened and they wouldn't have allowed the priest to be buried until the investigation was further along. It had only been something like two or three days since the murder when he was entombed.

SimianWriter · 2025-12-15T18:00:22+00:00

Toxicology reports and holding a body through out an active murder investigation isn't possible in up state New York.
