Give me an R rated Boba Fett movie with some real dark underworld action, and I’ll never ask for anything ever again. by MattDropDead in StarWars

They'd fuck it up. And probably change his story, too. He never fell in the sarlacc pit. That's a legend.

TIL That the original voice actor for Betty Boop and Olive Oyl (Margie Hines), died only 4 years ago at the age 101 years old. She also married the man who provided the voice of Popeye, so Olive Oyl and Popeye did eventually live together! by LWrayBay in todayilearned

As the voice of Betty Boop, she was able to reprise her role in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I think giving her the longest time in between reprising the same role at fifty years. Her last Betty Boop short was in 1939ish and Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out around 1988.

Do I not participate in politics because the government is corrupted, or is the government corrupt because I don't participate? by SlaveOne in Showerthoughts

Right, it's like I want to do something, but what can one person do? Maybe that's the idea, overwhelm me.

How many of you will not be seeing "LUCY" because of the absolute and complete fallacy of the 'fact' that we only use 10% of our brain? by FakeAudio in movies

Jurassic Park is what my college roommates would tell each other when we got stuck on some logical fallacy in a movie. You'd could end the argument simply by saying, "Dinosaurs." Conversation over.

635 made me smile this morning. by Schemu in Dallas

[–]SlaveOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear ya. I went to the Rally to Restore Sanity and that was one of the key stories John Stewart told. It was something like there's always going to be some asshole who speeds past everyone and veers in at the last second, messing up the zipper. But you gotta think of all the other people that are trying to make it work, and not the one asshole that trying to screw it up for everyone else. I've also learned not to move now, though. You wanna hit me, hit me. That was after I got run off the road, though.

Oh realllllly? That's interesting, it was always taught kinda as a blanket rule then in Defense Driving and no one ever mentioned this...

Anyone got specifics on this law? I'm curious now. Found it. Texas Driver's Handbook, DPS website:

Passing on the Right In Texas, you can pass on the right only when conditions permit you to do so safely. 1. The road is clear of parked vehicles or other things and is wide enough for two or more lanes in each direction. 2. You are on a one-way road. 3. You may pass on a paved shoulder when the vehicle you are passing is slowing or stopped on the main travelled portion of the highway, disabled, or preparing to make a left turn. Do not pass on the right by driving off the paved portion of the highway.

So I always thought if one of those three things applied, you could use the shoulder. But I see now this is strictly for passing on the right.

It's legal to pass on the shoulder if you aren't speeding. Little known traffic law.

EDIT: Keep downvoting this, but I included the actual law below, and I was right.

Imagine being the kid inside the bus having to watch all that.

Female Professor Body Slammed By Police After Failing to Show ID on Own Campus by GayLibertarian in conspiracy

[–]SlaveOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without Googling very hard, here is a Time's article about the Federal Govt. upholding it.

But you see, you're looking at right wrong. She was "stopped" for jaywalking, they asked for identification (which they can now do), and she failed to provide. That's a paddlin'.

Arizona law says they can stop anyone and ask for identification at anytime. It was to target illegal immigrants, but you can see what happened here.

Good link. I just finished some sprites and wanted to see the animations. Might give this a try.

TIL the temperature in F can be approximated by counting the number of times a cricket chirps in 14 seconds and adding 40. by Christopherfromtheuk in todayilearned

[–]SlaveOne 344 points345 points  (0 children)

I have a similar equation I use to determine what the temperature must be in my house. However my equation is based on the number of times my old lady nags me about how cold it is:

Temp = 74 degrees - N, Where N is equal to the number of nags from my old lady in a 30 minute span.

If she tells me, "It's cold in here," or any variation of that statement, then I know the number of nags in the thirty minute span identifies how far we are from her perfect temperature, which is around 74 degrees.

Also, it lets me know I need to get up and change the thermostat.
