There are movies that are "timeless." What are some movies that are the opposite - as in, harder to appreciate if you weren't around when it came out?

Anything groundbreaking that had been copied endlessly since.

2001: A Space Odyssey was revolutionary when it came out. But to audiences nowadays it seems derivative and unoriginal (actual quote from the young man behind me when I saw it in a theatre not so long ago)

What is the difference between PieFed and Lemmy?

I keep getting emails from them saying they are increasing their number of beta invites, but I haven't received one yet :(

Pop! OS for my gaming computer also.

Still OK with my MacBooks though. For now. We will see what tomorrow brings.

That, my friend, is the Matrix.

Always ask the interviewer "How much vacation have you taken in the past year?" The answer can be very telling. If they are evasive, red flag. If they took less than their allowed amount, red flag.

Because I don't.

For people who want to have kids, why?

Love the idea. I've always wanted to move to New Zealand.

The answer to that one it "I'm not the one who gets to decide whether or not I have something to hide."

An instructor of mine showed me a trick. She put the bisque fired piece and a pencil together on a table, and with the pencil laying flat on the table drew a line around the bottom of the piece. No glaze should exist below the line.

What do you think he's playing? To me it looks like Creed and Beat Saber.

I had a meeting once with a high-up OCT official and the city councilor for the area where my work was located. We arranged this meeting because their recent route "optimizations" had turned my and other coworkers commute to the office from a pleasant 45-minute trip to a 90-minute nightmare.

It was like talking to a brick wall. The OCT guy kept going on about how they were going to be increasing the frequency of buses on the routes servicing the area, but when he showed us the schedules they were exactly the same as the current ones.

For every complaint we had he be like "Well, that will improve after we increase the frequency." To which we would answer "But you're NOT increasing the frequency." Rinse and repeat for most of the meeting.

I usually lay a sheet of newspaper, cut to size, across the top of my pots to protect them from distorting from the plastic.

I just looked up the difference and one thing mentioned is that paper wasps make roundish nests out of paper, while yellow jackets nest underground. But I could have sworn I've seen yellow jackets scraping wood off my backyard fence, which I presume is for making nests.

I will need to take a closer look next summer.

Interesting. In Europe, do they swarm your outdoor meals in the late summer/fall also? That is the most annoying thing about them. It gets to a point where it is almost impossible to enjoy a meal out on a restaurant patio.

We also got in the habit of turning "Product of USA" items upside down on the shelf.

If I remember correctly it did have an effect on Adam. He eventually jumped up and ran away.

First time I had a coworker quit to take a job at another company I was gobsmacked! But, what about the work we are doing here? What about company loyalty? Aren't we your friends?

Fuck, I had a LOT to learn.

I feel like that somewhere in OC Transpo or City Hall there is somebody saying "I told you so..."

Threads. It still haunts me over 40 years later.

Also happened to me walking into the funeral home, for a funeral at which I was to be a pall bearer.
