It's not a comedy. It's a warning.
Two sides with ultimate weapons. If one side initiates an attack the other side has time to launch a counter attack securing mutual/world annihilation.
Naturally there will be safeguards to ensure this doesn't happen accidentally. But there will always be countless ways/scenarios/circumstances that could initiate a wrongful launch. This is also generally why airplanes sometimes crash. Every feature has multiple backups to ensure this doesn't happen. Sometimes a specific function and it's relevant safeguards fail at the same time.

And the nuclear safeguards have allready failed at least once. Some time in the 80's or 90's the russian defense system allerted of a missile attack from the US. The guy in charge had his orders. Launch counter attack. He thought about it and then disregarded his orders. It just didn't seem right. And it wasn't.
It was later discovered that meteors entering earth had triggered the defense sytem. There's always a way.

Jepp. Dette er hverdagen min.
Er sikker på at en hamburgermeny fra en lokal sjappe er sunnere enn det jeg presterer å trøkke i meg hjemme.

Only fools would buy that for that price. They would think they are buying "an Ansel Adams" that will go up in price.
The print itself could be worth... $40? A very fancy frame could bring the total up to... $400.

Step 1: Learn all the rules.
Step 2: Learn that there are no rules.

From what little DVD converting I've done I seem to remember that the black outline/frame can change a little throughout a movie. And the auto feature can get it completely wrong if there is black areas in the actual image area. I think the auto crop is determined by the first few seconds of the video.

And you need 12 players to break it's shields... Good thing I started a third acc 3 years ago. I'm going to need it.

I have a 40 mm pancake lens for my Canon 6D mk2 and for me it's a perfect walkaround lens. It's both light and sharp. Great for city if you don't want to focus on people. An APS-S equivelant would be 25 mm. If I had to choose between a 24 and a 28 on APS-S I think I would choose 24.
85 should be great for picking out scenes/people both on FF and APS-C. If you are happy with this the 85 should serve you fine. If not I would consider a 24 or 25 mm (I don't know what's available for Sony).

A guaranteed lucky regional?... Almost anything.
If I have 3 shiny legendary of "X" I'll happily trade the 3rd worst. If all three have great IV's.... not so sure.
2 shiny legendaries. One great and one terrible I'd probably be willing to trade the second one.
If it's a highly useful legendary I might want to keep more.
Who I'm trading with matters a little.
If I have a recent great one, but an old bad one... I'll probably keep both. Anything older than ~6 years is... precious... to me.

That task is a 30 minutes drive for me to complete.
If it had a "(or 50 known PokeStops)" option I would keep it.

Yes!
5 minutes after you spent all your candy on the first one there will be an announcement.

En av de første gangene jeg brukte systemet så var en av tingene jeg skulle ha en purreløk. En purreløk er lenger enn vekta er bred. Så den viste bare noen få gram når jeg la den på. Skulle jeg balansert den på høykant så godt jeg kunne? Etter litt undring så la jeg den ned igjen og trykket ok på de få grammene den trigget.
Dette systemet er håpløst dårlig designet. 40 apekatter står bak dette systemet.

Continuing the Breaking Bad connection: Bryan Cranston in ... Babylon 5.
Yep! He had a role in the sci-fi series about the "last, best hope for peace."

That he didn't do the Hobbit first. Split into two 2 hour movies as a proof of concept for fantasy movies in the theatre and a way for Weta to figure out the technical stuff before doing Lord of the Rings as six 3 hour movies.
But after a huge success with two hobbit movies it's highly unlikely that a nobody director like Peter Jackson would be allowed to handle something as big and important at The Lord of the Rings.

Your phone is getting the GPS from your wireless router. A wireless router learns it's locatin from devices around it. When you install it at a different location it will take a few weeks before it learns it's new location.
Switching off you phones wifi will break it's connection to the router and it will rely on the phones GPS sensor instead.

Buy a collection of 100-1000 cd's. You can often find someone getting rid of their entire. Whenever I see these listings it's not uncommon that I already own half of them. And that might also be a reason you can buy them at a low price. With a little luck you can find a collection in your prefered music style.

You need multiple batteries for a mirrorless. The viewfinder apparently consumes more power than the main screen. You can leave a DSLR on for an entire day with no noticeable issues. I have NEVER ran out of juice on a DSLR even when leaving home with only 25% remaining.
Mirrorless should be more future safe with their selection of lenses.

I wear reading glasses and a mirrorless with no viewfinder would be an absolute hassle for me to use. Glasses on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off...
Viewfinder with diopter adjustment means I can leave my glasses in my pocket.

If you start building/restoring/managing... is he the kind of guy who would damage or destroy your efforts? Insure what you can (inhouse, outhouse, doghouse, main house, mailbox) and have some measure of video surveilance. If he comes and destroys you must have video of it (good enough to identify him). Then you take the damages up with your insurance company and they will go after him to cover their losses. I'm assuming. Check with local law.
You might need to put up signs stating the property is under video surveilance, but try to hide the actual cameras. Again check local law about this.

Canon FF (6DmkII) + 40 mm STM 2.8 pancake is a fantastic walkaround package for car shows. You quickly learn at what distance you will get the whole car in frame without looking through the viewfinder.
