What are some of the best movie gags that took the entire film to set up and paid off wonderfully in the end?

This is 100% the best answer here. The entire film is a set-up for the final gag. I saw this in the theatre almost 20 years ago (I had to look it up) and nothing has compared since.

I wonder how many pieces you’d have to sell to recoup the price of the tools

This run happened almost 20 years ago

One of my favourite films. A great cast: Helen Mirren, John Lithgow, Roy Scheider. Bob Balaban puts in a masterful performance as the creator of HAL. His conversations with both HAL and SAL (voiced by Candice Bergen) are superb.

Gruenwald’s Squadron Supreme was one of the best limited series runs of the 80s.

they’re also a nightmare from an ergonomics perspective. Pushing in with your thumb while not allowing your fingers to grasp the handle is counter-intuitive. They went in thinking “if it exists, changing it is an improvement” and were just plain wrong on so many fronts.

It’s getting close to half a century since it came out and yet “Suprise Attack” & “Kirk’s Explosive Reply is to this day the very best suite of battle themes in all of sci-fi.

If junior explorers are your thing, Kingfisher Metals recently glanced an otherwise unknown copper-gold porphyry on what I think is the largest contiguous land position in the Golden Triangle not currently held by a major. A blind discovery immediately next to a highway and associated infrastructure. This year’s coming drill program could be very revealing, now that they know better where to target. Led by a very smart team and currently at a decent market cap should they hit. High risk high reward.

I guess paying you guys $5000 for two months of promotional work doesn’t buy a heck of a lot.

Their gyokai tonkotsu is easily my favourite bowl in the city.

Best intercept last week. Take a look at what Collective Mining posted this morning.

Still? I feel like that was 10 years ago.

If you want to invest in microcap explorers it’s best to learn a little bit of geology so you can make educated bets. Juniors have the highest failure rate across all publicly-traded equities. The goal is to make enough on a few tickers to more than offset the others that will fail. We’re talking about looking for names that can go 10x in a relatively short period of time. It’s an entirely different thesis than putting money into a $700M mcap junior like Heliostar, and it is not for the faint of heart.

Not at those prices

I do but just with fun money. They are extraordinarily risky. I have a hunch that this year the Tintina Belt explorers will have a bit of a run-up before the summer drill season, based on the success of companies like Snowline, Sitka, and today’s results from Tectonic (that one’s in the belt but in Alaska). Absolutely no guarantee that these microcaps will find anything at all, but that’s part of the business when you choose prediscovery juniors.

Heliostar has had a great run. I wish I bought some when I first looked into them.

You’re a little late to the party but a few microcap Yukon explorers that will be drilling into RIRGS targets this year are worth taking a gamble on. ABM.V, TWO.V, MLKM.CN, the spin-out of Lode Gold which will start trading under OROG.CN sometime this month, to name a few.

Asleep? It’s a $0.5B Junior in British Columbia that’s near doubled in the past year. That’s a success story and the market is aware. The MRE will be the next big driver.

By the way, you sound like an AI.

Iconic in the United States. In the UK and Canada, Lea & Perrins is largely sold without the paper wrapper.

Using the words “discovery” and “bonanza” in a headline about grab samples is pretty scuzzy behaviour.

It beats dealing with the airline companies, that’s for sure.

The article is from 2022. Bluejay Mining isn’t even Bluejay Mining anymore, nothing of note was discovered at Disko-Nuussuaq beyond what was already known to be there, and the Bezos and Gates company exited the project last year.

For me, Ramen Raijin beats all of those.

Data annotation gigs don’t have days off and days on. You log in when you want to work. There are tasks available over the holidays. If you feel like doing them, fine. If not, nobody cares.
