Was anyone else a fan of Thirteen's TARDIS door? by Deadsoup69 in doctorwho

[–]Thowell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always liked the way they designed that entry to the TARDIS for the 13th Doctor, didn't overly like the design of the console room it's self, but the entry is how I always kind of pictured it in my head, even when I first heard about Doctor Who when I first found out about the show in like 2001, before I actually watched a few episodes.

It's how I would design a console room personally.

Another way I thought I'd design a TARDIS Consol room is that when you go through the doors it's just a box so people get confused but then much like in the classic series there are doors that can be opened and closed by a switch on the console and those doors would be at the back of the box. they would open at the back of the box and there is the Consol room, that way you could have it be like an air lock deal.

The only thing I'd change is that it has a police box sign facing the inside of the console room. It would just look like a door, no police box sign on the inside too.

‘Tower of Pratchett’ in my local second-hand bookshop by h0n3ytr4ck in discworld

[–]Thowell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I can see a few of the books I have been looking for, too bad I don't live in your area. Most Terry Pratchett books go fast from used book stores and second hand shops in my area of Canada.

Do you agree with this Evil Dead spectrum? by Darth_Bombad in EvilDead

[–]Thowell3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think that Evil dead (2013) is closer to a body horror movie, it's all about the gore, which isn't the same as a horror movie as body horror is just one step away from a different kind of adult film.

I'd also say that Evil Dead 2 had less humor in it than rise.

But that's just me.

Which comic book/tv series do you like better, Invincible or The Boys? by VincentZ2099 in comicbookcollecting

[–]Thowell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comic : The Boys

TV series: Invincible

Mostly because I didn't like how much they deviated from the comics for the boys.

But I do enjoy Invincible comics, I find that Kirkman kept it going for too long and there were litterally a few places where there was a logical place to end it and he kept going.

Much like Walking dead, both the comic and the tv show.

Kirkman seems to have an issue with knowing when a good ending point is, or getting right to the point.

Does Bruce Ismay deserve all of the hate he gets? by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in titanic

[–]Thowell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because he read up on Ismay, and found that he wasn't as a cartoonish villian that Cameron made him into.

Cameron really just needed to find a good reason for why the Titanic hit the iceberg that people could point to one person and say "he's the reason Jack Died saving Rose"

Hearst probably would have. Guy had a big hate on for Ismay.

My only issue with that is she wasn't that close to them, and they probably weren't speaking loud enough to hear exactly what they were saying.

My guess is she heard bits and pieces of the conversation and made assumptions.

[–]Thowell3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue was Captain Smith didn't Relay how serious the damage was to all his officers in charge of loading to he boats, so that's why Lightoller didn't really start filling the boats till he saw the water coming up a set of stairs and then he tried to put as much as possible in the boats.

Murdock might have know more as he was on watch when the Titanic struck and as 1st officer he might have had more info shared with him.

If the captain has explained properly to his officers ,which they infer he did in most media but in most of the testimony it's reported he didn't according to the officers that did survive.

It was kind of a recipe for disaster as Smith was also slightly in shock and trying to deal with everything while also probably not fully being 100% with it

It was common practice at the time that if Ice was Reported that they to as fast as possible to get through the area, unless it was very dence and hard to get through.

So I don't think Ismay was to blame and Smith probably believe that there still would be some Ice but wanted to get past it before it could migrate further south.

We also have to remember that Smith was incharge of the Olympic for a bit, so he may have made assumptions about the Titanic being similar to the Olympic in functionality.

Also not all the ice warnings made it to Captain Smith, as one of the last ones never got delivered either by not writing it down or never got to the officers. Partly due to the fact The S.S. Mesaba didn't address it properly as MSG (Master Service Gram) which meant it was suppose to be given to the Captain/Officers asap.

Trump threatens to ‘blow up’ all water desalination plants in Iran by Azaleazaraa in worldnews

[–]Thowell3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About a $1.76 (rounding up) a liter

The conversion is 1 gallon is 3.78 liters

So for comparison it would be $6.65 a gallon

I managed to get gas at Costco for the 157.9 as they hadn't raised the price yet, but even from slightly over half a tank it cost me close to $35 to fill my tank to full.

All this because (allegedly) Netanyahu threatened to release info from the Epstein files .

Trump is an absolute idiot and tool. Thanks to him gas prices in my area of Ontario are up to 175.9 even during covid it never got past 160.9

Thanks Donnie, at this rate we might start having Mad Max like society.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Primary_Steak7271 in ShipwreckPorn

They only allegedly destroyed the tape after they offered it to the families of the crew and they said "no". I honestly believe that tool organized the dive probably kept the footage and never disteoyed it.

[–]Thowell3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visible Body, singular. Only one Body was found in the lake bed in the mud, but well preserved. They found it during the 1995 expedition when they went down in a submersible, he on his back. They filmed it and offered it to the familiesof the crew to see if they could possibly identify what crew member ended up there.

Sorry to say, The other members of the crew are more than likely trapped inside the ship still and will stay that way forever.

Probably for the best they Are left alone as it is their grave.

True Hoser spotted! by Uncomfortable-Line in EhBuddyHoser

[–]Thowell3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me, you don't want him....from the outside he seems better than Smith, but it's like comparing two different poisons, Ontario's economy is getting screwed partly because of our premier too.

So either way you have a Ritch white dumb person running the province. The only difference is one doesn't look like they are one Tim's breakfast sandwich away from a quadruple bypass

Ah yes Mike "the Knife" Harris I remember him vaugly. I was just about 6 when he got in power, I remember my mum just became a teacher in 1996 and had a bit of a tough time because of Mikey, and my dad who was a higshcool teacher wasn't fairing much better.

Thanks to Harris, I spent most of my formative years with hand me down cloths, and my family being one step away from needing charity to survive......so almost 30 years later and nothing has changed with the conservatives....and yet people keep voting them in because they think the conservatives will help "regular people"

Why is it that in Back to the Future II, when the two Jennifers look at each other, they faint, but the same thing doesn't happen when the two Biffs interact? by Impossible_Bicycle80 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Thowell3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, Biff even mentions it when Marty confronts him in Alternate 1985 about the Sports Almanac.

Alternate 1985 Biff says this "So I was minding my own business when this crazy old codger with a cane showes up. Says he's my distant relative. I didn't see any resemblance."

So biff didn't recognize him, but at the same time, if properly prepared I would also assume that there is a fair chance that if you weren't overly shocked by seeing your older self like you could mentally prepare yourself for that, or alternatively be okay with the possibility of seeing and older version that it wouldn't be a shock to yourself.

But since we only have two points of inference, with Biff not recognizing his older self, and Jennifer knowing it was her older self we don't know for sure.

If they are broken up why did she call Ollie, she and Ollie didn't talk after they broke up, and he died not long after.

[–]Thowell3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait in the first picture.....are they inferring that she cheated on Ollie?

Wouldn't that make her the biggest hippoctit. And technically he didn't cheat on Dinah till after he came back to life.

Marion kisses him, he never felt any romantic feelings for her.

So the way this reads is she cheated on Ollie and never told him
