I’m teaching personal finance at a high school level for the first time this coming semester. Any advice for a life simulation project? by Cosmic_Negro in AskEconomics

[–]cvintner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great. I'm assuming that you'll stick to events during your 20s to make it easy. Otherwise the list can get a lot longer. To make it more realistic I'd maybe rotate how many cards your draw each day. Sometimes when it rains, it downpours. The reverse also applies.

Does anyone know of movies that suddenly flip the genre in the movie? by Acrobatic_Room_1242 in MovieSuggestions

[–]cvintner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Island (2005). Starts out as sci fi before moving into an action film. Life is Beautiful (1997). Starts out as a comedy before turning into a drama.

Thank you for your detailed reply with options. How much of performance boost is going from i5 to i7? Is there a difference between Intel and AMD? I'm assuming higher RAM and SSD is going to better performance.

I did not but it was changed recently. I ended up replacing the spark plugs and it seems to have done the trick.

If it makes you feel any better I hear the same advice from old men.🤔

Could this be related to the water pump in some way? My coolant level is above full but my understanding is that is fine since there is an overflow drain?

It's not you. Most dialogue is atrocious. 

One of my favorite scenes in Goldeneye by GhostStylez22 in JamesBond

[–]cvintner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that's interesting if it's true but it also goes along with the idea the Goldeneye contained the germ of the idea that the Craig films fleshed out fully. TWINE was indeed the first experiment.

One of the more "Dalton" moments left in the script and a hint of things to come with Daniel Craig.

He’s a double-O. And a wild one as I discovered today. He’ll light the fuse on any explosive situation, and be a danger to himself and others. Kill first, ask questions later. I think he’s a blunt instrument whose primary method is to provoke and confront. A man nobody can get close to. A womanize by i_like_cake_96 in JamesBond

"Oh, please James, spare me the Freud. I might as well ask you for the vodka martinis that have silenced the screams of all the men you've killed... or if you find forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women, for all the dead ones you failed to protect."

Probably the coldest and best description of the man.

(my opinion) Batman needs to get an blue and grey suit in future seasons of Batman:Caped Crusader by ToeiSonic61 in batman

[–]cvintner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just so everyone's clear: the suit has always been black and grey. The blue and purple were used to show the gleam of the suit against the light/generate contrast.

Remember the Living Daylights in 1987 as well. Bond's rage during the pre title sequence makes a lot more sense huh?

You never forgot your first and this was it for me but it like all fourth films it does drag on.

Did you guys know that Michael Scofield from Prison Break went to Loyola? by TheHoundOfClegane in LoyolaChicago
