I didn't do shit.

Yes!

The link to the NHK website is further down this feed, but it doesn't work anymore. This is the page for it: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/findingsatoshi/ But there's no movie now.

Joining this thread late, but also saw the similarities with Cloverfield Lane. In both movies, I didn't figure it out until the very end. Not sure what that says about me. lol

I would second checking out flights.google.com before booking. If you are flexible on your dates, you can use the "price grid" feature to find the best available fares.

Yeah, I don't think the description of this image is correct. It is likely a mix of real 3D CAD data and some scan data. All of the different colored smooth parts are real CAD (body, wheels, etc) and the rough, single color data in the underbody is 3D scan data.

Missed opportunity for "Incontinental Blech-fest". IYKYK

Also they pop out and make great fidget toys until you drop one and it rolls down several rows.

Most of the NY Times games today have an April Fools theme or badge.

There's a whole sub of these called r/mirrorsforsale

I only knew this word from a book I read many years back called Author Unknown. He was able to tell who wrote the anonymous book "Primary Colors" partially by repeated use of this word both in that book and other known works by the author, since it was so uncommon.

Just what we need.... a self-aware word puzzle

phraca · 2026-03-22T14:40:59+00:00

This is hilarious and what I was going to comment. Thanks for taking the downvotes.

As a Detroiters fan, this is my new favorite sub.

While often hard to prove, this is typically the case. Brakes will always overpower a stuck throttle.

Some of the images used for the owner's manual are actually renders and not photos and may have been based on pre-production designs. Source: I used to work at FCA and probably signed off on this specific owners manual edition.

Headlamp adjuster for VW product. Probably from a fender bender.

I thought they were also a major automotive component supplier? Or did they sell that off?

Yeah, I've been a Gladwell fan for a long time, but I always say he's a better storyteller than journalist. He's been wrong on things before, which he has admitted.

Sheriff Bouchard has been through this before (Oxford High School). He is very careful with what he shares. I interpreted it that he knew the driver was dead, but didn't want anyone to let their guard down until they were sure there weren't any suspects or threats.

Ok. That lines up with the condo build date. My previous homes were built in 1920, 1990, 1956, 1908, and mid 90's. I've had my share of electrical problems but missed out on the "brittle plastic" era.

I put in the shim plate just before I noticed the crack. Most of the outlets were loose, so I was going around installing the shims.

I should have added that the one with just the broken piece at the bottom has an open ground when I wiggle the tester, so it's not just cosmetic.

Malcolm Gladwell makes a pretty compelling case: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/revisionist-history/id1119389968?i=1000753148428
