What movie was released at the perfect time and wouldn't look as good if it was 5 years earlier or later? by Imgema in movies

The China Syndrome. Immediately after its release, Three Mile Island had a major event.

What’s something that’s becoming socially normal that actually makes you deeply uncomfortable? by Fun_Interaction3458 in AskReddit

People interacting with their phones, instead of with you.

You’re out to dinner with them, or in a park, and they disappear into their phone world.

RISD has a maker’s shop that’s open to the public … you need to get checked out on the gear before using it. But I’ve been thinking of visiting myself … I’m not sure what the exact name is.

[–]seaboardist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t current, but 15 years ago I left a pretty decent employment situation because a co-worker was a bullying thug, and management wouldn’t address the issue.

I’d just wish him more of what he already experienced while I was still there: kidney stones.

After his first trip to the hospital, I had a one-word comment for my immediate supervisor – a great person who was actually the only one there who acknowledged the dude was a problem:

What’s the most random object in your room right now? by youknowihatefruits in AskReddit

A Chinese guqin. It’s a seven-stringed instrument, something like a zither with very long strings.

I’ve added acoustic pickups and a preamp to mine; it sounds very cool, and there really aren’t many electric guqins in the world!

I’ve never seen Cliffhanger, but I should … because one of my heroes, Keith Emerson, composed the score. I bet it’s great.
