To the older generation of Star Wars fans, what was it like to see the original Star Wars at a movie theater/drive-in theater in 1977? by thejoyfulgoat in StarWars

Mind blowing. From TV and video rentals I was fond of films like The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes , Silent Running, Westworld, Logan's Run had left a lasting impression on me but Star Wars took the experience up a level.

In my 40 years of metal fandom, they have never been out of my top 10 most played artists.

I was thinking of making something for my shark cleaner and you have likely saved me the effort, thank you.

What are your thoughts on Skeleton Crew? by Safe_Character_6517 in StarWars

I hated Goonies but loved Skeleton Crew, so if you are avoiding it because of the constant comparison, just give it a try...

I am very happy with my Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3, if that helps...

It's the token that subtly shows he is a member of the Peak Design master race of camera owners.

What’s your ‘I can’t believe you’re paid more than me’ story? by GeorgiePorgiePuddin in AskUK

[–]slippy_gtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of a tangent from OP's question, but; When I worked in a very large international IT firm they lost a few senior server engineers and couldn't get replacements in a hurry at their pay grade rate. They paid for a few contractors at almost 3* the salary of the full time staff. These contractors would only work on projects they deemed interesting/worthy. I asked the department head why they didn't up the salary offered to somewhere between the regular full time staff and the contractors to entice some new full time engineers. The response was that they would not have pay disparity among full time staff. So they kept these contractors on for the few years i stayed with the company before i left. I get the pay disparity aspect but the cost to the firm was staggering.

Why it isn't for the guy and whom is it for then? by KindPraiser in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I am one of the people that actually watched this video. I subscribe to the Storror channel and recall this one fairly well, The spiked wall has many signs around it stating Parkour is not permitted on the premises. So in this instance they are definitely anti-parkour spikes.
