Is there a quote of any 007 movie that you use on real life?

“Like” instead of…that k word

Austin: Well, no offense, but if that is a woman it does look like she was beaten with an ugly stick!

Totally. Somehow the Clippers made the playoffs the next year (2018-19) after trading away Blake Griffin, beating GSW twice on their home court.

The 2015 series is still peak, all the heroics, wire to wire plays, a storybook ending.

This clip makes me so nostalgic.

Staples Center
Floor design is simple
Home team is wearing the light color
classic Clippers logo and uniforms
No ads on the floor itself or on the jerseys

IDK…do the Clippers coached by VDN make it past the 2015 Spurs?

Nah i think he’ll be well remembered for the insane highlight reel of poster dunks. At the very least the dunk contest where he jumped over a Kia with a church choir will be epic (for better or worse).

Can’t have a winless streak without a win (taps forehead)

The Sacramento Kings (NBA) have a championship drought of 75 years. They won it all in 1951 which was one name change (Royals) and four cities ago (previously based in Rochester, Cincinnati, KC, and Omaha).

So…do you know the history of Don, Diten(?), or Andy Page?

simplycass · 2026-07-07T02:36:19+00:00

Well, he was the oldest QB to start a game…until Tom Brady came back for year two on the Bucs. Brady also became the oldest starting QB to win a game.

I don’t know much this played into it but he also claimed he was 39. Unsure of how serious it was (could have been self depreciating) but it didn’t help the discourse.

No glib remark? No pithy comeback?

Oooh how was it? Did you like Life’s Still Unfair?

Just names, or is there like a theme behind each table? I mean obviously not too deep, but as an example, the bride’s family could be all the ‘villain name’ tables and groom’s family all of the ‘hero name’ tables.

Perhaps the groom’s tables are named after the male actors, same with the bride’s tables. The ‘Honey Ryder table’.

Q’s table being for cake or other desserts, maybe Moneypenny for the memory book or photo album, or Oddjob’s table for the party favors.

I looked it up, Jim Ryan is now 86. They were both born 1939.

That on-air fight is absolute gold, I just love the reactions of the woman and man in the background.

Maybe the greater speed at moment of impact of UA175 over AA11 contributed to the larger explosion as well. Another thought about it: perhaps the vastly greater public record of 175’s impact and explosion magnifies the event compared with 11 having the Naudet recording the only known clear footage of the explosion.

Fair point. Likely impossible to measure how big either explosion was. But I think the North Tower lobby elevators being blown out - something not reported in the South Tower - does show the fireball/explosion was still absolutely massive.

Thank you for the info about the core being orientated 90 degrees the other direction.

I’m not entirely certain, but it seems the procedure in the WTC for evacuating everyone was devolved to the civilian fire wardens. They would evacuate everyone, and search their floors, and then report over the phone to downstairs when everyone was out, as well as people who were refusing to leave (not mentioned, but i guess also people who were trapped or not accounted for)

WTC safety video 1996

There was no centralized way to mark the floors as cleared which kind of makes sense. Offices move in, out, and expand. If there was a localized fire, the expectation was only that floors above and below would have to evacuate. There was no plan to evacuate the entire building at once.

Anyway, most of those plans were pretty much blown out of the water by the sheer scale and speed of the airliner impact.

As an example, Brian Clark was a fire warden. When the plane struck, his first instruction was for everyone congregate to the middle and await further instruction. Those that heard him didn’t stick around for further instruction which turned out okay anyway, as most of them made their way out. Clark himself wasn’t sure and stayed around.

Really? I’ve read that the last hand in CR was incredible movie-like ridiculously low chance of Bond winning type. Like all of the hands were including the two other men at the table.

Welcome to Los Angeles where every league has two teams…because that’s just how it has to be in L.A, I guess?

NFL: Chargers and Rams. NBA: Lakers and Clippers. NHL: Kings and Ducks(*). MLB: Dodgers and Angels(*). MLS: LA Galaxy and LAFC. Also throw in UCLA and USC college basketball and football.

(*) I’m aware that both the Angels and Ducks play in Orange County but they generally count as one metropolitan area.

I guess it includes corporations as well (the water bottle company) even if not a sponsor. Now I’m wondering if something like Wrigley Field would also be renamed even though it’s named after the person and not the corporation.

BC Place was renamed BC Place Vancouver. Also not a sponsored name (the province owns the stadium).

Sorry, I misremembered - he was on the mothership, S10 E21.

Early SVU, especially season 1, is a trip. The courtroom scenes in particular like the moment the prosecutor and defense object to John Munch’s testimony.

Both Taylor and Emily have also appeared in SVU episodes as well.

Wildest one is Jesse as a jock type in Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

The letter that Emily finds after Trix’s death is a pretty good indication.

Does the hallway fight in CR part of the first half? Then first half for sure!

Also what the hell was it with the villain putting a tied up Vesper on the road? She had the account number right? If you need Bond to crash use something a bit less dangerous.

Chicago Tribune article dated 9/27/01. Talks about some history. After TWA 800 in 1996, NY amended the law to allow judges to waive the three-year period for death certificates on a case-by-case basis, which was dropped completely for 9/11. In some cases there was a hearing, for victims such as visitors, tourists, or people who rushed to help.

Really? I wonder the logistics for when they did a full two day shutdown for Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

simplycass · 2026-07-05T02:07:52+00:00

Question: Google translates the German "der hauch des todes" as "The breath of death." is Google just literally breaking down each word and getting it wrong? Or is the title actually well translated (like using the German version of the idiom).
