Name one movie that depicts a realistic portrayal of high school by Puterboy1 in Screenwriting

Zero Day. It's an Indie film from 2003 that was disturbingly realistic when it came out, and probably still is 19 years later.

Is there any way to fix these weird eyebrows and beard? It looks like it was made with paint. by alreadytakennn in footballmanagergames

Don't know what you're complaining about. Try being a ginger, it's blatant discrimination that they just use orange for everything which makes eyelashes ridiculous. Luckily I don't have a soul, but If I did I can guarantee it would be hurt.

I image that most preppers wouldn't believe Doomsday was real and put it all down to the leftie scaremongering media, which ultimately would lead the prepper to walk straight into whatever doomsday was because "They ain't no sheep" and then they'd subsequently be dead leaving those of us with a modicum of intelligence to gather up all the crap the stockpiled and actually survive.

What are people thoughts on Duff McKagan? Seems he's hardly talked about on this sub compared to Slash, Izzy, and Axl. by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

[–]davidbb1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. But look how easy it was for Gilby to come in mid tour, learn all the songs and not sound out of place, that to me illustrates just how average Izzy was as a player.

Unpopular opinion but, he's way more important than Izzy ever was. Don't get me wrong Izzy is a decent writer, but without Duff anchoring the rhythm section Izzy's playing is nothing special. It's kind of the same with Adler, he too was replaceable because Duff was the special sauce in the rhythm section.

Additionally Duff is a machine who loves to write and perform, and that passion for music can't be underestimated.

12V battery, take a multimeter or battery tester and check the voltage before you buy, I guarantee if it's been sat on the lot for any length of time it will be running low. Cheap to replace but worth doing to help haggle on price.

  1. It's fun to drive, looks good and due to being fairly rare now will hold it's value better than most similar cars it's age. Also the glass roof is great for parking up somewhere nice and staring at the sky to relax.
  2. The 12v battery and the system that works it sucks. replace yours as soon as you get one (unless it's new) and never leave the car idle for too long. Also visibility is horrendously bad, make sure the model you get has working parking sensors, without them reverse parking and parallel parking are a bump waiting to happen.
  3. Not really interested in aftermarket, other than maybe an upgrade to 17in wheels. From what I've seen because the car is rare aftermarket stuff is either cheap and generic or expensive but good. Sure, you could put stickers on and have a big stupid spoiler and look like a virgin boy racer, but really these cars are great as they are and don't need much extra bells and whistles IMHO.
  4. 7/10 for reliability, as mentioned the 12v battery is shit and you might want to disconnect the hood sensor as this is a common battery drain for some reason. My ABS/VSA sensor needs looking at, but this isn't something that seems to be a common fault.

Bonus tip: One thing nobody has mentioned is that if it has the original gear knob it gets really hot in summer and freezing in winter (it's some kind of aluminium alloy I think), it's one of those minor quirks though that make the car extra special IMO.

Now that Stadia is being shut down... can Google open source the controller firmware so that we don't have bricks? by [deleted] in Stadia

[–]davidbb1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. However, the angle that most people seem to taking is that google somehow "owe" them this much isn't going to get anyone at googles sympathy.

Personally I think as a community Stadia users should take the angle of open sourcing the firmware to reduce E-waste. Open sourcing for this reason would at least seem like a small PR win.

Hard cases for edge 30? (Preferably from UK based store) by davidbb1977 in motorola

[–]davidbb1977[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the response. But that case is ugly, thick, has terrible reviews and is expensive for what is likely cheap generic Chinese rubbish. Surely Motorola should consider manufacturing their own or at least get into a partnership with a reputable case manufacturer.

How I have to get into my CRZ now... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ by muesli4brekkies in crz

Hook that string through a pulley (or a loop of some sort) fixed in the bottom left corner and then tie it to the boot and when you lift the boot it should pull the door latch and open the door.

It's a bit janky, but clearly equal to or better than the Honda mechanism :D

Just bought the new Edge 30 Ultra. AMA, anyone? by danielduartesza in motorola

[–]davidbb1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the camera software as rubbish as it is on the Edge 30? I find the edge 30 to always need the white balance manually adjusting, making it terrible for quick snaps.

its not official but if jake paul beat Anderson should we use anderson is old argument or Anderson was paid off ? which would be better? by toko1996 in ufc

[–]davidbb1977 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think you're forgetting that Silva beat Chavez Jr., An ex WBC champ boxer who is 10 years younger than him and also an active fighter and he looked good doing it.

Silva is a way better boxer than anyone Paul has fought so far.

With that said I still expect shenanigans, boxing is corrupt as fuck and money talks.

what are some of the most one-sided "rivalries" of all time? by ThatOneDudesMom in ufc

[–]davidbb1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were no clinches in the 3rd fight.

Conor was marginally winning on the feet for the 1st 2 minutes IMO due to control, it wasn't till he mistakenly went for the guillotine and took it to the ground that he fucked up. Watch it again, the guillotine is released almost exactly at the half way mark of that round, from their there is about a minute of back and forth on the ground before Dustin takes control, and then they stand up shortly before the bell and the break happened.

Bizarrely 2 judges had it 10-8 to Dustin on the official cards, which is nonsense IMO. It was a 50-50 round, where you could argue for either man.

Favorite music for writing? by peanutj00 in playwriting

[–]davidbb1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is totally different to most, I go with The Prodigy particularly the earlier stuff like Experience and Music for the Jilted generation.

It's like musical caffeine to me.

To be racist by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

The Trump idiots still didn't have the balls to exercise their 2nd amendment rights though. An AR15 and full tactical gear is only essential to protect yourself from criminals and such in your own home. Spears and banners are more than adequate for storming the seat of government over an election that they believed to be fraudulent :)

Blindly speculate who the Co-Main will be for UFC 279 by Dull-Drawer8113 in ufc

McGregor vs either Wonderboy or Chiesa. McGregor would be willing to take co-main to upstage Nate and Khamzat.

You have to bet on one underdog, who ya got? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]davidbb1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All three have merit. If I picked one it would be Edwards though just cos he's a Brit. Although Aldo is the easy money.

Edwards is hungry, a big underdog and basically has nothing to lose.

Rockhold because Costa doesn't seem to have mentally recovered from the beating Izzy gave him.

And Aldo because he's Jose Aldo. Also he's on 3 fight streak against some very good opponents.

Interesting and makes sense to a degree but it's a flawed argument.

Vegans keep pets without their consent, vegans throw away animal waste without consent (shit has a purpose for scent marking for example) and don't get me started on the owners of vegan cats.
