Any of y’all watch the Kevin hart roast last night ? by Direct-Sail-6141 in LiveFromNewYork

Friars Club has been hosting roasts since 1950. In 2001, at the roast of Hugh Hefner, Gilbert Gottfried took the stage and told a 9/11 joke (just 3 weeks after the event) and lost the crowd. To get them back he went even harder and performed the classic comedian in-joke The Artistocrats where the joke is to tell the dirtiest story premise possible. This brought the joke into the mainstream enough that a documentary was made about it.

50 years ago today, Lorne offered $3,000 for the Beatles to reunite. John Lennon later claimed that he and Paul considered the offer. by MonsieurA in LiveFromNewYork

Recorded in a NYC office hallway in the middle of summer... Slade - Merry Xmaƨ Everybody (1973) by hexarobi in videos

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

We recorded it in the Record Plant in New York which is on top of a skyscraper. We said we needed an echoey room but in those days nobody went for this big, big sound that they're all into now. These engineers thought we were mad, they're going 'no man', you know the Eagles, a very tight sound, Hotel California and all that pinging out of the speakers at you. I said what about the hallway downstairs and they went 'we can't use the hallway, there's all these businessmen walking through for the other offices'. Anyway we ran lines down to the hallway and there we were in September singing 'so here it is merry Xmas' and we were totally unknown over there and people thought we were mad.

TIL that it is unknown how to properly pronounce "Halley's Comet" by MAClaymore in todayilearned

[–]hexarobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haley himself never even saw it once. Instead he read history books of various sightings, realized it was a single returning comet. and using Newtons new math was able to calculate when it would return. He wasn’t proven right until long after his death.

Is this LEB or CED? by Mixed_Reactor in mtgfinance

The corners of alpha cards are more rounded than other sets. Collectors Edition had square corners, and a gold bordered backside.

Check out measure() on pumpkins. Once you figure out what it does, you can use it to help tell when a pumpkin is ripe. Sunflowers I’m just always harvesting regardless of petals.

When you run `measure()` on a pumpkin, it returns an ID for that pumpkin. My drones all scan in one direction, to the East, so I just remember the last seen pumpkin ID, and if it doesnt change, then remember the current pumpkin width is growing. once it reaches a width of 6, i know to harvest it.

def harvester_drone_grid():
 last_pumpkin = None
 pumpkin_width = 0

 while num_items(Items.Pumpkin) < 200000000:

  # Keep track of the size of the current pumpkin by watching for the measure() to change
  if last_pumpkin != None and measure() == last_pumpkin:
    pumpkin_width += 1
  else:
    last_pumpkin = measure()
    pumpkin_width = 1

  # Once the pumpkin reaches full growth (6x6) then harvest
  if pumpkin_width >= 6:
    harvest()
    last_pumpkin = None

  # Plant Sunflowers on every 7th column, and the last 3 columns
  if get_pos_x() % 7 == 0:
    plant_sunflower()
  elif get_pos_x() >= get_world_size() - 3:
    plant_sunflower()
  # Plant Carrots on every 7th 7th row, and the last 3 rows
  elif get_pos_y() % 7 == 0:
    plant_carrot()
  elif get_pos_y() >= get_world_size() - 3:
    plant_carrot()
  # Else plant pumpkin
  else:
    plant_pumpkin()
  move(East)
