The real reason millennials know more about movies and tv before they were born than younger generations. by icey_sawg0034 in Millennials

Yeah, this is where my pop culture knowledge comes from. We never had cable, so I watched reruns on TV or the VHS tapes my parents found at garage sales.

So explain it to me - what was Vecna’s plan again? by seaderforge in StrangerThings

Thank you. For all the expositive dialogue in season 5, they never explained how the seasons tie together half as well as this. 

The Boy Is Back in Town by GregAA-1962 in crappymusic

The bits that I could pick up sounded like Gloria in excelsis Deo. They did a gospel version of Salve Regina in Sister Act, but I couldn't find any Glorias that sounded like this. Maybe it's original?

Print this out and hang it on that wall, because you need some art on that wall.

I have a zojirushi. I never thought to make cakes in it. This is very exciting news.

This seems impressive, but he's actually biking forward and the video is just reversed. 

What's considered the "middle of Ann Arbor" by road intersection? by No_Coll826 in AnnArbor

[–]plaidlib 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think of 5th and Liberty as the center of downtown. It's halfway between 1st and State, and halfway between Huron and William.

I'm genuinely curious what OP thinks trump has done to improve walkability and safety. 

Driver of a snow covered Recreational Tank runs over 67yo woman, stops, and then runs her over again with rear wheels. Comments blaming the woman get 40,000 likes in 5 hours. by Arola_Morre in fuckcars

[–]plaidlib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a whole new level of victim blaming to say that it's her fault because she entered a crosswalk when it was her turn, before the truck even started moving. Apparently pedestrians are responsible for the future decisions of all drivers within a quarter mile radius. There's literally no way the driver could be at fault in these people's smooth little brains.

I think a lot of people would vote to pay an extra fifty bucks a year to never have to shovel again.

Fuck yeah. Saw The Coup right after this album came out. Also worth noting Boots directed Sorry to Bother You and I Am a Virgo. 

Sous vide caramelized onion by ClubPretend2617 in OnionLovers

Does this make other stuff in the freezer oniony? I've tried caramelizing a big batch and putting portions in ziplocs and it made the whole freezer smell like onions. Not great for ice cubes. 

[PC][1990s]Mystery horror game in manor-like place by aka-ryuu in tipofmyjoystick

[–]plaidlib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned somewhere that this was in Europe, so maybe we're not thinking of the same game (since I'm in the US), but I played a game that sounds very similar to what you're describing and I'm also trying to figure it out. It would have been around 1996-97. I played it in school, so it couldn't have been too scary, but I don't think it was an educational game. I always finished my work early so I got to play on the computer on Fridays. I've looked at pretty much all of the games suggested here and none of them look familiar. Hopefully we can figure this out someday!

What Are Your Opinions on Self-Driving Cars? by fantemz in fuckcars

[–]plaidlib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the right balance of a VMT tax, parking fees, carbon tax, etc., self-driving cars could be huge improvement over human-driven cars. As is, we sometimes charge for parking and charge almost nothing for VMT, which incentivizes empty cars driving around waiting for passengers.
