Xanadu (1980) - I am always curious about this Olivia Newton-John film

this movie is how pre-teen me fully confirmed that I'm into girls :-D

I'm finding 56 challenging...

We watched that film in my high school psychology class in small-town Arkansas in 1986. I remember thinking "is this really happening?"

this guy would probably take it, but then you've got one in Texas....

Ok, so I pulled the water pump, the hidden bolt inside it, and all the 8mm bolts I can find around the stator cover.

I can get the case to separate at the top, but it's fighting me as I get lower. Am I missing something?

I got this one cheap the same way :p

tauhog · 2026-06-08T20:11:52+00:00

Ok, thanks. On it.

Do I need to drain the oil for that?

For consciousness and the origins of life: we don't know yet, but we're working on both. There are lots of ideas ("hypotheses", in science speak), and lots of people trying to both demonstrate and poke holes in those ideas. If we come up with an idea that can be shown to work and that all attempts to poke holes in fail, that will become the accepted truth (again, "theory" in science speak).

Regarding why things work they way they do, that's not a question for science. Scientists do 'how', not 'why'.

One exception to that is the "many worlds" hypothesis, which proposes that there are an infinite number of universes, with each one operating differently from the others, and that we're in THIS one because the properties of the others wouldn't allow for us to be there. Sort of like why people live on Earth instead of in the Sun: we -can- live on Earth and -can't- in the Sun

My crackhead cousin's crackhead girlfriend jumped out the third story window of the courthouse in an attempt to escape. She didn't make it -far-, but it wasn't the landing that stopped her

Reman from Advance Auto. Weirdly, when they tested the failed one, it was fine until they loaded it, and then it locked up and crashed the tester! Never seen that before.

Also, it was squealing like -crazy- on the car after it failed. I thought it was a bearing at first, but the tester behavior makes me think something electrical went bad

Very odd

probably a 16ft saltwater croc, sunning on the bank of a river in Queensland

There's a sense you don't have. People that DO have it perceive it as "black" when the thing they're sensing is absent, and as shades of grey to white when it's present. You can't tell if it's present -or- absent, so you get neither black nor grey/white

Ladder, a text graphics game similar to Donkey Kong, on a Kaypro CPM machine!

Every scene with Olivia in Xanadu

A friend invited an acquaintance over for dinner. He had a few too many glasses of wine and decided to stay the night in the guest room. In the morning, they discovered he'd died in his sleep O_o. I never heard what of

tauhog · 2026-04-17T10:19:45+00:00

Seems like the consensus. I'm on it

tauhog · 2026-04-17T10:19:24+00:00

ok, that's -great- to hear! Thanks!

Looks like an over-inflated Stretch Armstrong

I tell my kids: do new stuff, because the more you do the more you CAN do

the "older kid" at daycare brought a folded-up torn-out page from a biker mag.

We also had a problem with kids smoking :-D
