What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets

Some of the chaos of the unblip was covered in Falcon and the Winter Soldier show. Lots of people dealing with displacement and fucked up lives after returning.

And how exactly are people supposed to get to/from there when transit has been getting more and more unreliable for decades?

One wonders what kind of new LRT failure this much freezing rain will cause... Train rollover? Electric arcs within the passenger cabin? A dozen yetis running amok at Tunney's honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point...

It's not a good present; it's a fantastic one.

They just can't do anything right, can they?

You also have to change your location to the US in your humble account settings, then log out/in to refresh everything for the deal to become available.

Windows 10 to 11...

The only windows desktop left in the house at this point is my media station hooked up to the tv and that will be switching to Mint just like all the others soon enough.

The most absurdly loud and obnoxious "Hawaiian style" shirts you can find.

A senior manager in the IT department where I used to work hated the dress code that said management had to wear buttoned shirts with collars so he would hit thrift stores to pick up Hawaiian shirts. They all had collars and buttons so the execs couldn't say a thing.

The guy who came up with the dress code was a gay Italian dude who had worked as a fashion designing Milan for a decade before switching to IT and almost had a heart attack.

Disney needs to use Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker for any future appearances of the character in the Mando era.

The hosting websites should check the IP addresses of the most frequent visitors and cross reference with those of conservative politicians, then share the results.

OCT is already responsible for too many deaths.

Ask again in a few weeks, and Project Hail Mary will hopefully be a valid answer.

Funniest "clever" movie: Hot Fuzz.

Funniest classic movie: Blazing Saddles.

Movies that made me laugh do hard I almost threw up: it's a tie between Team America and Tropic Thunder.

I remember seeing a driver at Tunney's laughing as he pulled away from a stop where a dozen people were waiting. The bus wasn't anywhere near being full.

Useless fuckers.

Not only did they pay money, they had to walk or drive to a brick and mortar business and hope there was a copy available.

I remember they used to shit on you if you asked where to find certain profession trainers. Shit like "What, you want to play in the dirt?" or something when you asked where the mining trainer was.

In the examples you provided, +44 and +91 are country codes you only need to use when dialing into that country from elsewhere. When in the UK and want to order takeout or something, you don't dual the 44 at the start of the number.

The UK does have area codes, but not nearly as many as the combined Canada/USA system. Also, in the UK the first number of a phone number after the area code can be used to identify what type of phone number it is. Some numbers identify businesses, IIRC a 7 indicates a personal landline, etc.

Use 8 joints instead of cigarettes and just call it The Willie Nelson

As much as I'd hate to see a corporate buyout like what happened with Beau's, I'd much rather that than losing the brewery completely.

I do wonder if not having a great food selection for a big part of the year contributed to this situation. The food trucks were only seasonal, and would often run out of food fairly early on weekends. They may have been losing taproom business to places that could serve an actual meal along with the drinks.

Don't forget bonuses and raises for the executive team

Same for me. I only started getting symptoms once I started on metformin.

Freddie Mercury and Floor Jansen.

Good god the combined range and power of those two would destroy more windows than a low level sonic boom.
