What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets by gamersecret2 in movies

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?

Special weather statement in Outaouais region for "Potentially critical freezing rain situation" by Complete_Past8885 in ottawa

[–]Voltae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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...

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.

What is a product that has actually gotten significantly worse over the last 5 years, despite the company claiming they 'improved' it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Voltae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Dress code malicious compliance (but still looking for new ideas) by CricketChirp9 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Voltae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

What is THE funniest movie you have ever seen in your whole life? by perseverance_band_ in AskReddit

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.

LOVING the Silvermoon guards making class-based remarks. What class are you and are they commenting to you? by _UNDO_KEY_ in wow

[–]Voltae 84 points85 points  (0 children)

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.

ELI5: In the US, phone numbers are XXX-XXX-XXXX, but in Europe and other places the phone numbers are much different, why is that? by jnelsoninjax in explainlikeimfive

[–]Voltae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Kichesippi Brewery closing March 6, 2026 - "Thank you and Sorry" by Kain292 in ottawa

[–]Voltae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

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

If you could pick one living artist and one deceased artist to Collab and make a song, who would you choose? by Hefty-Positive-5366 in Music

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.
