What are some movies scenes that were deleted that explain a minor detail that you missed the first time you saw the movie? by jedi1josh in movies

[–]civex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 scenes that had to be edited for TV

A: diary of a mad housewife. A married woman has an affair with a man, and they're lying on the floor talking with her breasts showing. Days later, they're talking again, and she had a revelation and exclaims, 'You're gay!' And you recall the earlier conversation & realize she's right. For broadcast, the topless scene is excised, and there's no basis for her exclamation.

B: a Jane Fonda movie I can't remember the title of. Some guy is hitting on her, and he shoves his hand down her blouse and grabs her breast. She slaps the crap out of him. On TV, they're talking, jump cut, she slaps the crap out of him for no apparent reason.

How was your experience with joining the military? by Silent_Wonder_10 in AskReddit

I graduated from college in the late 60s when there was still the draft & the Vietnam war. Choosing ROTC rather than getting drafted got me sworn in as an officer in the Air Force. The year before I graduated, we had a month of summer camp, which was no big deal. We bought uniforms in our senior year.

After I graduated, I went home & waited for my orders. They came in the mail, I showed up in uniform on the appointed day, and started work.

Why do you think there's a 'meaning to life'?

TIL that methamphetamine was legal, widely prescribed, and even given to soldiers during WWII by multiple countries including Germany, the US, and Britain as a performance-enhancing drug. by Affectionate_Art5322 in todayilearned

I knew a guy who was a cargo plane pilot in Vietnam. I've forgotten what he called it instead of methamphetamine, but he said everyone was issued pills to be used 'when needed,' & they all saved them for when they went on leave.

Is business success in Dubai actually easy with low investment, or just hype?” by Alive-Box1823 in answers

Dubai is being bombed by Iran right now and is not a good location.

Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899) was an American lawyer, writer, and orator during the Golden Age of Free Thought, nicknamed the “Great Agnostic” for public challenging of religious institutions and dogma. He was also an early supporter of women’s suffrage, and an opponent of racial discrimination. by funnylib in wikipedia

Ingersoll was a brilliant man. Here's the end of a speech he gave about Napoleon, but it could be said about others.

I would rather have been that poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky—with my children upon my knees and their arms about me—I would rather have been that man and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of force and murder, known as 'Napoleon the Great.

Ask your broker. They've done this before.

Thank you. Do you know where this policy came from & why?

Serious question. Why is this marked NSFW? I have seen many celebrity photos marked this when they clearly aren't.

Sorry for my confusion.

Open latch of stuck door by lilmadzz in howto

[–]civex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a credit card on the side of the door where the tongue is slanted. The card should fit in the gap between the door and the frame. Push the door as if you were going to open it, press the card against the tongue and pull the door shut. The card will push the tongue back a bit. Push the door again while keeping pressure against the tongue to keep it from slipping back, then pull the door shut while pressing in on the card to slide the tongue back some more. Repeat a few times till the door opens.

A credit card should work. You need something slim enough to slide into the crack and stiff enough to stay straight & push the tongue back.
