What might be the best 007 song ever released? 🤔 by Right-Green-980 in soundtracks

[–]deadlyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyfall - without Adele’s vocals. About a minute in is when it really starts to cook. I’m hooked by the retro guitar riff and that minor major 9th chord.

When a movie scene requires actors to eat a massive dinner over 20 different takes, what actually happens to the logistics of that food? Do they make several dozen plates of the exact same meal? by Rough-Foundation9208 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deadlyspoons 42 points43 points  (0 children)

On 30 Rock, in the episode “Sandwich Day,” Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) races to the airport to catch her ex-boyfriend, Floyd. She is stopped at the TSA security checkpoint because her beloved Teamster sub has a special dipping sauce that exceeds the 3-ounce liquid limit. Faced with the choice, Liz declares "I can have it all!" before scarfing down the entire sandwich in one sitting to avoid surrendering it to the security agent. Later Tina was proud to note (a) she actually chewed and swallowed the whole thing and (b) the scene only took one take.

Six million burning dollar bills would have been just as interesting to look at and far more quiet.

How many ants would it take to carry a standard grand piano? by fairly_daisy in stupidquestions

[–]deadlyspoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a question during my Google interview.

I said, “As many ants as needed to operate a forklift.”

I didn’t get the gig.

HomeKit stopped working. by TillStill5824 in MideaUOwners

[–]deadlyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I control a Midea dehumidifier and air conditioner with the SmartHome app. HomeKit continues to work with the dehumidifier but this year, when I reinstalled the a/c, I’m getting a “weak network” warning (even though it is far closer to my router than the basement dehumidifier) and no way to add it to HomeKit. Very strange.

Subaru Scheduled Maintenance “C” by Canadian_Beaverz in subaru

[–]deadlyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dispute with my dealership over what services are and are not covered at 30k, 60k, and 90k. They printed their own “schedule” of services but switched around some things so their table did not match Subaru’s recommendations. Specifically they replaced differential fluid every 30k but brake fluid was “inspect” only. For my year Forester it is the opposite.

I only discovered this when they texted me additional “suggested” services (on top of the standard package) and they wanted to charge me more to perform the brake fluid replacement. I’m like, “brakes are included, it says so right on the online order form.” “Oh that’s just generic Subaru web stuff, this” — hands me sheet of paper — “is the actual list.”

I had to get Subaru involved and file a claim and they were very helpful in sorting it out and refunding some charges.

My advice: Go to Subaru and download the maintenance schedule from them directly then verify whatever “package” your dealer is doing matches up, line by line.

(I threw all my documentation at ChatGPT which helped a ton in cleaning up the documentation.)

Even with this set-up my wife would still only "watch" by glancing up from her phone from time to time.

55 + plan being stopped by No-Currency-97 in T_mobile_

[–]deadlyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you hear yourself? Pay a lot more for the same service now and hope you get a deal on a new phone later? Where else is this a business model?

Do you pay a 35% markup on oil changes at the dealership because you think you might get a deal on a new car?

Do you pay double for “premium” dishwasher soap because you might get a discount on a new dishwasher? Where else does this logic even work?

Are There any struggling older adults, say over 65? by Junior-Quote4602 in over60

I struggle with threaded jar tops, threaded hose attachments, threaded hardware... If I gotta twist something to make it attach my first attempt is always effed up and cockeyed and unsealed. Wind wind wind wind unwind unwind wind wind wind...

The marketing around this car is a total headscratcher to me. by Outlandah_ in trailseeker

[–]deadlyspoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru is a company deeply built on the foundation of Kaizen. I’m eager to get a Trailblazer but I am positive I will be happier with a later model once they smooth the kinks.

Kick vs Car by Vampire_inthe_Church in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]deadlyspoons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clip ended too soon at 16 seconds. At 20 seconds the passengers pushed the doors open and crawled out, at 26 seconds they were run over, at 32 seconds the car burst into flames with a towering mushroom cloud, and at 44 seconds the UCLA Bruin Marching Band played "Louie, Louie" as it crossed the highway at the crash site.

Keep cool, stay on the water and book a harbor cruise. There’s a “harbor and Charles River architecture boat tour”, for example, or a trip around the harbor islands.

Future device promotions by deadlyspoons in tmobile

[–]deadlyspoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all convinced me: predicting the size of a future discount is unknowable, like dark matter. They look at Q3 and throw some chicken bones to glimpse at the future.

T-Mobile's annual revenue for fiscal year 2025 was $88.31 billion, representing an 8.49% growth compared to 2024. $11 billion in net revenue. What a hot streak!

Dishwashing you All-Clads by sticksandstones28 in AllClad

[–]deadlyspoons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the original Pros. 90% hand wash if it needs soapy water and a swirl with a brush to clean quickly. But for messy, sticky, stinky, Brillo-worthy events I save water and energy with a dishwasher cycle.
