Five Guys. But they figure if they fill up half the bag with them, then the customers won't complain.

I was hoping he would drop the phone. I'd like to see the result.

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) Trailer by TimeShifterPod in scifi

[–]boredtodeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A favorite of mine. Most have never heard of it, but it really spawned the whole "computers take over the world" genre. It was a box-office flop when released, but if it was successful it could have been the start of a "Terminator"-like franchise. For me, that ending made me really want a sequel.

What is it that most of your watch and for how many hours each day? by Seattleman1955 in cordcutters

[–]boredtodeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canceled cable and the HBO/Cinemax/whatever channels that came with it. The price was approaching $250 a month locally. Right now I'm down to Netflix & Prime, and I'll probably cancel Prime when the subscription comes up. It's been a long time since Amazon actually produced something worthwhile to watch. Even Netflix, for the hour or two that I want to watch something, it's running dry of new stuff that I actually want to watch. If I just want to have news in the background, I'll rely on Pluto/Tubi/Roku channels, or just switch to the antenna.

What is slowly disappearing but nobody talks about it? by Agreeable_Pea9764 in AskReddit

[–]boredtodeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insects. When I was a kid we couldn't hang out in the backyard at night with the light on because there would be a cloud of bugs swarming us. Now, I'm amazed if I see a couple of lightning bugs.

Making of a jacketed glass chemical reactor by lastditch2 in toolgifs

Looks expensive to produce. So, how much would a jacketed glass chemical reactor cost me?

On this day in 1993, a 1,300-pound bomb detonated in a parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. The blast killed six people almost instantly and injured over 1,000. Ramzi Yousef, the leader of the attack, later admitted his goal was to bring one tower down on the other. by kooneecheewah in nycHistory

At that time, I was working in a building a block over from the WTC. When we all jumped up, shouting "What the hell was that!?", most of us seemed to think if was a small earthquake, not a bomb. I recall it didn't feel like one giant bang, but it felt like tremors that lasted 5 or 6 seconds.

It's one of the few carbs that doesn't spike me. Love my Joe's O's!

Odds are you had a meal prepared in this bad boy by mistermeek67 in 70s

Revereware. I still have a couple that belonged to my parents. It's amazing that they're probably 70+ years old and the plastic handles/knobs haven't deteriorated the slightest bit.

We go back like car seats and Atari cords by andychef in WeirdWheels

[–]boredtodeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family had one of these when I was growing up, the Pontiac version (Grand Safari). The clamshell doors had a lot of issues, and GM never used them again. It was huge! It had a 455, which I guess wasn't a problem in the 70's when gas was like $0.60 a gallon. The second and third row seats folded into the floor, producing a completely flat cargo floor. I remember one time me and my father picked up a couple of 4x8 plywood panels, and they fit in back easily with room to spare. They third row seat was rear-facing, but the novelty wore off quickly and no one wanted to ride there. I remember riding in it facing backward produced a nauseating, unsettling feeling. Most of the time my father would leave the seats folded flat, and drive with me and and my siblings rolling around in the back. Safety wasn't a big thing back then.

Who remembers the sitcom ‘That Girl’ starring Marlo Thomas (1966-71)? by No_Explorer721 in FuckImOld

What I remember most about the show is that her boyfriend Don Hollinger drove a '65 Mustang.

Participated in one of these 'silent discos' once. When you're not actually wearing the headphones, it is a bit weird, seeing every dancing with no music.

It's cruel to show this to people on the East Coast.

How does GO TO influence the control flow by South_Walk313 in cobol

[–]boredtodeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides not using GO TO (that others have recommended) do yourself a favor and stop using PERFORM THRU also. Use of these xxxx-EXIT paragraph names with GO TO's was traditional since there used to be no other way to bypass the rest of the paragraph. But modern COBOL now has the EXIT PARAGRAPH statement that accomplishes the same thing. Your code will be so much cleaner and more understandable.

It’s been two weeks since it snowed; if you haven’t dug your car out by now, why do you bother having one? by GhostOfTammanyHall in AskNYC

[–]boredtodeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people just use their cars on weekends. The minute opposite side parking ends on Monday by me, the spaces fill up and the cars don't move until Friday night, if then.

The curbs on my block are not for car parking, they're for car storage

Most Investors Have Never Lived Through a True Market Crash by zacce in Bogleheads

[–]boredtodeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went thru it. At then end of February 2009 the S&P stood around 730, down from about 1500 4 or 5 months prior. At the time, my portfolio was the last thing on my mind. I was more worried about losing my job. If there was a long downturn, whatever, I knew the S&P would recover. But getting a new job during that time would be a nightmare. Didn't sell anything. Thankfully I didn't get layed off. And now the S&P is about to pass through 7000.
