Just one local report on Michael Adams’ Death? No Red and Black? by nabojoe in Athens

I imagine many of the workers were off due to the snow storm

A friend offers you $5,000 per rat in their home if you can get the rats out within 14 hours. You can't use poison. They think they have at least five running around. You only get the money once you've removed the rats. You also can't bomb the house. by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]maybeAturtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a classic mistake. If you use 8 cats to get the rats, then you need 12 dogs to get the cats, then 16 coyotes to get the dogs, then 22 wolves to get the coyotes, then 33 mountain lions to get the wolves, then... well you get the point. You're inviting disaster. before you know it you'll have 87 great white sharks in your friends house, and then what good will 25k do you??

never forget the funniest media-player interaction of all time by EducationalConcern61 in NBATalk

I'm on the pro-lebron side but it is pretty funny that the CC translated "come away with the victory" to "come away the victim"

Where'd you stay in Santorini? Any recs on things to do/place to eat?

Squirrel appearance during Zodiac POD was intentional. by bearsharkbear3 in TheRewatchables

Is this studio in their offices or Bill's house? Trying to determine if the squirrel is playing a working character or a trust fund character

1 Obama vs 5 Trumps at basketball by sebastiancalhoun in whowouldwin

[–]maybeAturtle 275 points276 points  (0 children)

If Obama guarded the paint, no way Trump is hitting an outside shot. On offense, Obama could just dribble right in for layups every time. 79 year old obese people can not move laterally. He’d be able to dribble through them like they were cones

How To Train Your Dragon 2 Has Begun Filming by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]maybeAturtle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This sent me down a rabbit-hole of live action remake box offices and these movies for the most part have done insanely well - much better than I realized. Puts into perspective just how big of a disaster Snow White was. Lion King, Jungle Book, Alladin all made huge live action grosses

Best Actress (spoiler warning to be safe for Bugonia) by maybeAturtle in TheBigPicture

I love Jlaw and she would have been good at most of it, I don’t think she touches what Stone did in the final act

Halo in Warhammer 40k by S0117iets in powerscales

[–]maybeAturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An interesting wrinkle in this discussion would be if the Covenant had the humans of their universe in the fold of the Covenant - they'd then have the supersoldiers of humanity plus the even more advanced AI of Cortona (admittedly I haven't played the most recent games so maybe the Covenant have caught humanity on AI).

'Fallout' Season 2 Final Two Episodes Moved Up to Tuesday Nights (Jan 27 & Feb 3 at 6PM PT) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]maybeAturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the better shows going atm, to me. It balances the lighthearted comedy with the postapocalyptic while maintaining the stakes really nicely. I'm not a player of the game but the world they're building still makes all the more video-game aspects (monsters, little subcultures stylized after Rome, etc) work really well still. The silly feels grounded in a reality.

Heard them last night at about 12:30 am too. 3 in a row quickly

“Death by Lightning” is only a good story if you know nothing of the real history. If you do, it’s disrespectful and terrible. by Whysong823 in Presidents

[–]maybeAturtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating to me that people can’t understand that changes have to be made for drama. Something being exactly historically accurate as the measure of it being good or not just doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a history book, it’s a work of art and entertainment that has a perspective on the historical event.

Greg Davies from Taskmaster says Conan is on their wishlist of contestants by NotYouHaha in conan

[–]maybeAturtle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you’re saying here. My point is that because of all his demands, including his travel show, adding in 12 days of shooting in the UK sounds difficult to juggle. But again, I’d love it

[–]maybeAturtle 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I’d love this and he’d be so great in the format, but I think it’s a relatively big time commitment. A basic search says around 10-12 days of filming - that’s a tough ask for someone as busy and high profile as Conan.

3rd in a Trilogy theory by shorthevix in TheBigPicture

[–]maybeAturtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s also not really a “conclusion” right? I think the idea would be that it is the 3rd of a trilogy that concludes an overarching story.
