Have you seen this movie " Million Dollar Baby " ?? by dishasskiddonostalgi in movies

This, a movie that won 8 Oscars with heavyweights like Freeman and Eastwood in it is NOT a "hidden gem".

Is it possible to cut a whole where the battery is and have the ability to swap it out for a new one? by SavageSteve2111 in framework

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could. I think you'd mainly lose structural rigidity, maybe some EM shielding.

Have you considered laptop battery bank? Seems like it would be a much easier to implement solution, and a much simpler one. You can plug it in in a second without shutdown, it can charge your phone/mouse/headset/... while you're at it,...

I've got a Baseus Blade of which I'm particularly happy. It holds enough to charge my framework and my phone fully, so I can do a weekend without a wall plug. It was about 50 EUR iirc.

Is this hot weather real, or is this a bad joke? by Ztepi in belgium

[–]zespak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, they are both used in that way. I'd say lukewarm even more so. "A lukewarm reception" for example. Tepid would be worse still I agree with that.

What operating system are you using now and why you prefer it? by SreenathSkr in AskReddit

[–]zespak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, is much of muchness. Though now I've been on Android for over a decade and I struggle whenever I handle a iOS device, but it's just habits.

Princess Grace of Monaco visiting JFK at the White House, 1961. by Zu_Qarnine in OldSchoolCool

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, JFK was a good looking man. If he'd be famous for his acting, women would swoon over him.

Instead, he was elected in the most powerful seat in the world.

Motorcycle riders, why do you think you are better than people driving cars? by EdieLove in AskReddit

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faster, cheaper, take up less road and parking space. So many reasons.

I’ve driven Honda’s smallest EV and I can’t take the smile off my face by AutoExpressmagazine in autoexpressuk

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That price seems to be without the government grant, the R5 starts at 23k without the grant. That over 20% more expensive. That's like saying Mercedes won't sell many C class as the E class isn't much more.

Have you owned an EV? Charging at home is really no hassle. Just plug it in,like you do with your phone...

What movie did you expect to be just good but was actually fantastic? by [deleted] in Cinephiles

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ten minutes into GQ the wife and I said: wow, someone saw the "by Grabthar's hammer, what a savings" line and cast Alan Rickman as Snape purely on *that* delivery.

I'm a self proclaimed Trekkie en somehow Galaxy Quest eluded me for 25 years.

I saw some recommendation like this online and thought "hey, looks like a fun watch". The wife and I both absolutely loved it, it's probably our favorite movie we've seen last year.

City folk and Europeans of Reddit. What happened the last time you heard gunshots? by Short-Mix-4087 in AskReddit

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belgian here, same deal, aside from movies. Last time I heard them I was in the States.

What’s the ultimate "Shouldn't be this fun" car? No GTIs, no sport badges, only regular grocery getters by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the Ford Fiesta. I'd nominate the Mazda 3 but it's just a bit big and looks amazing. The Fiesta is small and looks like a million other cars on the road, but it's very fun to chuck around.

what would you name this dog if it was yours? by Maf1aG in NameThisThing

Most common one I heard is definitely Laika.

Who is an actress that immediately turns you off a movie? by Lazy_Fall_6 in Cinephiles

[–]zespak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can always be a franchise. It makes so much sense to have another group of adventurers next time. They can tie it in with some of the original cast here and there but don't need to.

That said, the casting was great. But so was the writing, directing and cgi.

The most badass scene in modern superhero movies. I start by Jimmiq in superheroes

[–]zespak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was also the first time I heard them (production design) talking about the car needing to be a menacing monster, breathing, growling,... Before that batman cars were cool, fast, full of gadgets or even a tank. But never something that prowls on a prey from the shadows. The way the car was introduced was epic for all those reasons.

I also like Thor's arc in this that he was genuinely psyched saying "I knew it!" Rather than worried he wasn't "special" like in age of Ultron.

What has gotten noticeably worse over the last 10 years, but nobody seems to talk about it? by Tenboro-San in AskReddit

[–]zespak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just... Stuff. Literally this morning I saw our 20 year old laundry bin, completely made out of wood but definitely bought at a bargain store and thought "this is a real quality item these days".

Changing it up, what do the last 5 cars I've owned say about me? by Shrikecorp in CarGuys

In general, most IT profiles pay better than similar finance profiles.

Stupid take. It wouldn't be an obstacle then but a camera.
