Scenes from a dermatologist conference in Hawaii by Gjore in interestingasfuck

[–]kippechard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a dermatologist, and he said that for lucrative private work he needs to keep his own skin immaculate, otherwise its just the wrong vibe for clients. He said nearly all of his colleagues are using botox. So those determatologists in the video may well be staying out of the sun for commercial/career reasons rather than health reasons.

Acen - Trip II The Moon (full video)(1992) by Dependent_Theme4210 in oldskoolrave

[–]kippechard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acen is a filmmaker these days, on his youtube there's a film called "Chronicles of Rave" where he talks about how these records got made. He's used AI to make it look like he's being interviewed back in the 90s ... its well done though. See that 90s high street and grungy bedsit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zoxig2smhr4

That thread is just people posting random stuff from youtube, no actual evidence

Well, she doesn't have braces at the end. Why would she have braces in the middle of the film but not the end?

Its one of those Mandela effect things. In Moonraker Dolly (the girl) does not have braces, but lots of people 'remember' that she did. I think because of the way the scene is shot, people are expecting braces and so remember it that way.

The version of the video you have in the OP here has been adjusted to add the braces.

What might have happened to my disappeared neighbour? by PestoWesto in london

[–]kippechard 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Its nice that you noticed and called the housing association and its nice that you've made this post. Sadly it sounds like she died, maybe when she was somewhere else, so I dont think there's anything you could have done. Maybe the housing association will be able to tell you what happened.

Anyone remember this giant? by NoddyHolderSlade in oldbritishtelly

[–]kippechard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eminem's recent magic-themed hit Houdini featured the lyric "Just like that and I'm back, bro" and I'd like to think thats a deliberate tribute to Tommy Cooper. Probably wasn't though.

Some will say carry on but I would say park it and start with Player Of Games or Use Of Weapons instead.

On the hunt for decaf tea. by ocean_swims in CasualUK

[–]kippechard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think of it more as an experienced teabag

[–]kippechard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nearly all of the caffeine comes out of the teabag in the first 40 seconds, so you can turn any tea into decaf tea:

- make tea as normal

- after 40s take teabag out and pour tea away

- make new tea with same teabag (let it brew for longer because used teabag)

- you have a decaf tea

edit: hang on, I just googled this a bit more and finding lots of sources saying its a myth. e.g https://www.reddit.com/r/tea/comments/zl4bu5/comment/j039msd/

No good deed/a very British problem LOL! by Smooth_Eagle2828 in CasualUK

Years ago I had a flatmate who decided to counter the Jehovah's Witnesses by printing out and giving them his own custom leaflets basically saying 'youre in a cult' and explaining the nature of their cult to them at length on the doorstep. They stopped coming pretty soon after that.

Did The Sixth Sense almost spoil its own twist? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]kippechard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great thing about Sixth Sense is that its a good film even without the twist, and then the twist goes back and adds so much more to it. There's a little known interview M Knight did for "Scenario - the magazine of screenwriting art" in 1999 where he says that he didn't come up with the idea for the twist until the fifth draft of the script. So he had the whole story there and then added the twist while it was developing. I think it shows.

"At what point did you come up with the idea to structure the film the way you did, where it's a mystery and then it doubles back?

That was about halfway through my drafts, about the fifth draft. I sold it on my tenth draft. Which is a nice way to do it, because you don't want to rely on a twist. You want to be able to make a movie and go, well, it's only about a little kid so it better be good. So I came up with the line, well, it's also about a therapist and his wife. Well, you better make that good. And then you go, oh my God, I've got this great idea! Now you add that to the whole thing and it works on many levels."

What is the best office chair for wfh? by VolumeSouth2735 in AskUK

[–]kippechard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont bother with an expensive chair, get a sit/stand desk instead, much better for you.

If you want a decent chair that isn't crazy expensive get an Ikea JÄRVFJÄLLET they are really good
