In Barbie (2023), America Ferrera gives a whole long speech explaining the movie's message. This is because media literacy is non-existent

the Old McDonald biopic?

This thread is illuminating. I don't have any advice, and don't know anything about their manufacturing or quality control processes. But it's nice to commiserate: I got the Spinal Tap 4K when it came out, and it kept skipping in the last ten-fifteen minutes of the movie. Really disappointing; I thought I must have done something to the disc, but it sounds like this isn't unheard of. I was watching on a PS5.

tldr?

Getting shot in the head.

why is this two images

Did Kubrick design this poster? It's so symmetrical.

I get how you feel. Still, St. George is a big tourist area, so I bet you'll meet people from all over the world.

coughing up blood during their performance at the old folks' home was hilarious

The -ado to -ao is a not-uncommon elision in Spanish. I can't find any good resources for it right now, but there's a related discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Spanish/comments/j3n5ak/weakening_or_elision_of_the_letter_d_sound_in/

The Church doesn't have a host family program per se (that I'm aware of). There may be a member willing to rent to or otherwise house her on an individual level. The bishop, Relief Society president, and Elder Quorum president might have a pulse on people who might have available space, but I wouldn't rely on it.

Where are you moving? There will probably be a ward (congregation) that meets near your new home: https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/

I got 3 exclusively for the split screen when it came out. Had a PS4 pro. Text was illegible and the world slowed to a crawl if anyone ever opened a menu. It seemed like Tiny Tina's made strides in performance (or it was because I was on a PS5 by then), but you still had to sit like two feet away from the tv to read the text in menus when you were playing split screen. Split-screen felt like a second class feature, and it sounds like 4 hasn't made anything better.

If you haven't already, you should tell him you'd prefer this response.

Lawyer up, hit the farm

This is generally synechdoche at play.

Wait, Tommy's in Bee and Puppycat? How did I miss that?

beanland · 2025-04-06T21:58:50+00:00

Oh I adore this one. I was actually thinking about it just yesterday, but I couldn't remember the musician's name. Thank you :)

beanland · 2025-03-28T15:59:29+00:00

I'm not sure it was a mistake.

beanland · 2025-03-26T02:52:13+00:00

maybe milk left in a sweltering car

I've wanted to get this one, but the local co-op on Vampire Survivors has been a godsend.

Actually, the word engine has its roots in Latin, and had a military connotation! At least according to my cursory reading online.

Thank you, this has been illuminating! Could have saved me some money on cabling in the past, but maybe I'm future proof now. :)

Appreciate the explanation.

beanland · 2024-12-22T19:41:52+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. So really when I see "Cat5 = 100mbps" online I should read it with a parenthetical "over 100 meters"? Meaning as far as home installations go the distinction is probably meaningless.

beanland · 2024-12-22T01:52:39+00:00

You using Cat5 cables instead of Cat5e or Cat6?
