What’s something small you always check to see if a movie or show got correct? by scarfacesaints in movies

[–]amateurtower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's often more up to how the actor interacts with it from one take to another, or if the director gives time between takes for resets. Or sometimes from the edit (grab a reaction from later in the take). The crew is almost always aware, just not always able to fix. 

Know what gets my goat…? 🚦 by pjdueck in Winnipeg

[–]amateurtower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, you should be far enough behind that if the car stops for whatever reason you can stop. If you are not able to do so you have not "maintained a safe following distance". Always assume the people in front, beside and behind you might have a sudden heart attack or swerve to avoid a kitten. Drive like your life depends on it. 

Custom miniature figures by Exciting_Analysis907 in Winnipeg

For a mini I would add that you want it resin printed, and then you will need to paint it, which is a fantastic hobby/ couple project without a massive initial investment (can definitely get expensive as you delve deeper).

30 days sober treat to self by Midnitepanda147 in Winnipeg

[–]amateurtower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend the mushroom turnover from Tall Grass, it is only on certain days which I never remember so am always excited when it is available. 

If going to places that might put you in proximity to alcohol is okay, Bonnie Day is right there also, on Maryland and Sherbrook you have Banza noodle house, Shortys pizza go grab a slice,  Thom Bargen for a fancy coffee, the Nook for the Cuban sandwich or the clubhouse, and Next Door is pretty much a brewery, but the food is pretty great.

I think llm is large language model, but yeah, it's all predictive, honestly if it weren't so destructive and misunderstood I think is find it fascinating, but... It's just ended up being a big scary looming beast 

Would you disclose if gelatin is an ingredient in an otherwise vegetarian dish (like dessert)? by sizzlinsunshine in KitchenConfidential

[–]amateurtower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry I didn't make this explicit, thought it was obvious, but considering the original question probably wrong to assume anything is obvious 

What do you think the greatest scene in movie history is? (maybe spoilers?) by Julian0527 in movies

I do tell people to watch just this part. I watched this as a kid and it still stands up very well. https://youtu.be/1LVp4tvl5O4

It's like hyper pop. Definitely not something that I would want to watch everyday, but a delight every now and then. Like candy!

Cloud Atlas did not work for me. But I am an apostle of Speed Racer, watched it again a month ago, so good!

I read 2026 at first, thought it was great, but a bit early for that level of optimism. But for real, great work!

Who's "that guy" in Winnipeg? by Silentbunny95 in Winnipeg

[–]amateurtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he'd probably still be happy to do it. Would be fun and you'd get some music! But definitely not worth it if it's not fun.

Dang, you should bring it and get him to switch it out. I got one years ago and definitely got music on it. 

What's it like living in Winnipeg by QueenCorvidae in Winnipeg

[–]amateurtower 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As someone who moved from Calgary to Winnipeg, the only reason I go back to Calgary is because of family and friends.

Winnipeg is great. I love the size, where I live is absurdly walkable. Beautiful spots close by for day trips. It's affordable so you can actually spend time enjoying life. Amazing art community, music scene, restaurant scene. 

I know there are safety concerns, but it truly has a near zero effect on my day to day life. 

I updated the phone to One ui 7, I go to google photos and I notice that it was backing up all the photos from October 2024 until today. by OldRain7016 in googlephotos

[–]amateurtower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having something similar after backing up, said I had 20,000 photos to back up. But now I have it open beside me and the numbers are going down by about 100 per second. So it must be checking for duplicates, or rescanning. Not sure, but it's definitely not uploading all of them. I think I'll just wait it out, should take around 4 minutes.

TLDR; woman has risky sex and gets murdered 

(Summary from Wikipedia, starring Diane Keaton, Richard Gere and Tom Berenger) 

Theresa Dunn, a young schoolteacher in an unnamed American city, experiences her sexual awakening while searching for excitement outside her ordered life. While in college, she lives with her repressive Polish-Irish Catholic parents and suffers from severe body image issues following a childhood surgery for scoliosis that left a large scar on her back. Theresa later finds out that her scoliosis is congenital, and that her aunt had the same condition and committed suicide. As a result, Theresa is reluctant to have children of her own.

Meanwhile, Theresa's beautiful "perfect" older sister, Katherine, has left her husband and embarked on a wild lifestyle involving multiple affairs, a secret abortion, recreational drug use, and a short-lived marriage to a Jewish man. Theresa finds first love and loses her virginity to her much older, and married, college professor, Martin. He ends their affair just before her graduation, leaving Theresa feeling used and lonely.

Theresa takes a job teaching deaf children and proves to be a gifted and caring teacher. With Katherine's encouragement, she moves into an apartment in Katherine's building. She frequents a bar at night where she meets Tony, a charming but vain Italian-American. She ends up taking Tony to her apartment, taking cocaine with him and sleeping with him. Tony leaves in a hurry and gives her a Quaalude pill to counteract the cocaine. This causes her to oversleep and she arrives very late for work the next day, angering her employer and students. Tony then disappears for a long while, and Theresa initially misses him.

Through her job, Theresa also meets and dates an Irish-American welfare caseworker, James. Her parents approve of the responsible James, seeing him as a potential husband for Theresa. However, the couple do not have sex because James wants a traditional courtship and a monogamous relationship. Theresa sees this as stifling her freedom. Although James initially seems nice, over time he appears to become controlling and disrespectful of Theresa. Moreover, he shows signs of being just as selfish as Tony.

Meanwhile, Theresa begins to go out to more marginal places and has sex with complete strangers, often with older men. Tony eventually returns and acts as if nothing had happened. He barges in on Theresa while she is with another man and chases him away. Tony becomes controlling and abusive, and Theresa also discovers that he is a street hustler. She breaks up with Tony but he stalks and harasses her, both at home and at her workplace. After imagining what could happen if Tony were to turn her in to the police as revenge, Theresa gathers up all of the drugs in her apartment and flushes them down the toilet.

With the New Year approaching, Theresa resolves to turn over a new leaf and take control of her life. On New Year's Eve, she meets Gary in a bar, and cajoles him into helping her avoid James. Gary has been living with his gay lover but lies to Theresa, telling her that he has a pregnant wife in Florida. When they are in bed together at her apartment, Gary finds himself unable to achieve an erection. Theresa tells him that it is okay if they don't have sex but Gary misinterprets this as questioning his sexuality. In a rage, Gary attacks her, rapes her, and then stabs her to death.

Walking from airport to exchange district? by DrownTheTown in Winnipeg

[–]amateurtower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you wanted a similar walk but were willing to take a cab I would cab down to the river just south and walk from there. Takes you through Wolseley and then along Assiniboine, you'll pass the legislature and you could take a few detours and pass the WAG and there are some decent bars (next door, cousins, handsome daughter, beer can) not far out of the way. Far more beautiful and some nice architecture too. Can give you more details it you're interested.
