Don't tell me that. My 15 year old is already like 5'11" at 15. I don't need him towering over me any more than he already is. lol

I would argue that you are accidentally correct.

Yes, eating healthy is more expensive than eating fast food and microwaveable junk all the time. No, you do not need to buy a bunch of workout clothes and supplements and junk to be healthy. Those can be great enhancements for whatever your goals are in the gym, but they are certainly not necessary for living a healthy lifestyle.

Go and buy a set of running shoes and a few pairs of sweatpants, sure. I guarantee you that somebody who eats healthily and goes out for a daily run, followed by pushups and situps can be just as healthy, if not moreso, than a gym rat pumping themselves full of creatine and vitamins.

I did something similar. I would go to the thrift store and half price books and go through all of the CDs. $.99 for a CD vs like $10 for a digital copy. I'd go and spend $20 in one day and come home with a whole shit ton of music.

Lol! I did this to my sister when I killed my first deer but the blood that ran from it’s nose made it look like it had a red nose, so I said I killed Rudolph.

If it's not a matter of affordability, I say feed the parents too. I've shown up to a few parties where the food is for kids only and I always feel it's a little cheap, especially if I'm expecting to be fed and I skipped lunch for the occasion.

As far as fun, I don't know what kind of climate you're in, but when my kid was that age (in Texas) we'd set up the slip and slide or order a bounce house and we'd be set. The kids would mostly eat and run around and bounce in the bounce house and stuff.

It certainly won't make them easier to get. It MIGHT at least reign in some of the cost if it causes them to ditch dynamic pricing and stuff. They're still going to get fleeced by the scalpers, but that's a completely separate problem that needs to be addressed, as well.

Let's be honest, these guys haven't been any good since AFYCSO. It was beyond time to go.

Man, I thought I was about to read a cute story about how your kid had one too many glasses of wine and ruined the carpet. Instead I get to read a story about how this dude basically molested his kid.

WTF dude.

I remember when I joined the Navy they had a list of what your ASVAB percentage needed to be to be accepted into the airforce, navy, coast guard, army, or marines. Marines and army were much lower than the others and our recruiters were joking when we went to MEPS to take our ASVAB that if we didn't score high enough they were going to send us next door (marines recruiter was next door). lol

Basically anything that came after 2 pretty much spits in the face what came before.

The whole thing at the end of 2 was that they closed the loop and tied up loose ends and that "there is no fate except that which you make for yourself."

Once 3 came along and set the expectation that the rise of skynet was inevitable, the rest of the sequels have just run with that. Dark Fate took it even further by killing off John in the beginning of the movie.

I'll watch the movies for some good action. But as far as I'm concerned, nothing after T2 is canon.

Holy shit dude! I'm going!

Imagine you’re traveling at NLS speeds, which would be necessary for travel between solar systems. Just to escape our solar system you have the Oort Cloud to deal with, and without some kind of deflection system would rip any vessel to shreds (really it would blow up but that’s a more fun way to imagine it).

Even barring that, there are probably countless small bodies we haven’t detected floating freely that would pierce the hull when traveling at those speeds.

Everyone here has already recommended Lynch, and I agree. Especially Mullholland Drive and Lost Highway.

I'd also suggest I'm Thinking of Ending Things, though it's kind of a slow burn before it starts getting really crazy.

Very sorry to hear about your old man. My dad really like renting movies and going to the movies too, and that's something we did alot of, so I get that. Some of my favorite memories with my dad, too.

As far as your question goes: my mom and dad were really into horror movies. When I was a kid I used to love bragging about how I had seen all of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies by the time I was 3. And these were actually favorites of mine. I didn't own them, but throughout my childhood I would rent these movies often (as well as other horror movies, both major and low-budget). They were great!

I never really got scared of these movies, but my mom made me watch Child's Play 2 with her when I was maybe 8 or so? And I remember that one scared the living shit out of me.

My uncle was babysitting my cousin and I one time, and he put on a porno movie for that night's entertainment. I was probably 5, and he was about 7. I don't remember much except for watching a girl in spandex give a guy a BJ and me and my cousin laughing our asses off at this movie. This was comedy gold to us because we weren't interested in any of that stuff yet, but a lady with a guy's pee pee in her mouth was fucking hilarious.

I go by a 10 point scale that looks something like this:

10 - Masterpiece

9 - Great movie

8 - Good movie

7 - Enjoyable enough

6 - It was okay, but I probably wouldn't watch it again

5 - At least I didn't pay to see it...

4 - This was pretty bad. But at least there was full frontal nudity in it.

3 - There is nothing redeemable about this movie.

2 - I hate this movie and hope that it gets removed from history.

1 - Chairman of the Board

My real answer is probably Feynman because I find his work with subatomic particles fascinating, even though my understanding of the science is incredibly limited.

For the sake of this subreddit being about space I'll say Hawking, because I've always been fascinated (and terrified) by black holes.

I think it counts.

First, I think the definition of scientist is rather loose anyway. Is a bio MA who does scientific research and testing any less of a scientist because they don't have PhD next to their name?

Second, while he is not a research scientist and isn't making any discoveries that I'm aware of, Bill Nye has had to use the scientific method for engineering purposes, and he's certainly a science educator.

I haven't looked at that list, but I'd venture a guess that Gary Clark Jr is on it. That motherfucker can rock the shit out of my ears any time.

My wife was looking for some book (I can’t remember what now) a few months ago and couldn’t find it even though it said it was in store on their site. I told her I’d ask the girl at the information desk and she was like “awesome! I just read that book! It’s so great!” She excitedly asked one of the guys to check the back and he was just as excited and said “[book name]! Nice!” and retrieved it for me. Maybe they were just trying to be really customer service forward but they seemed legit excited to get that book for me so someone else could read it too.

I can't believe more people aren't bringing up The Rolling Stones. They have an absolutely enormous catalogue. From the mid-60s to mid-80s they were churning out album after album.

If you count electronic music and remixes of other people's stuff Paul Oakenfold also has a very massive library.

Coheed and Cambria have 10 albums all (except one) as part of a single concept and they're pretty close to 150, but I'm not sure if they're quite there. They also have a handful of non-album singles.

Wow! That's a great price! I've paid for than that to have a few legs cooked for me in a fancy restaurant.

Time to visit Argentina, methinks!

Nice! I've only ever seen one whole live king crab in my life (at a local H Mart or Uwajimaya; can't remember which). I wanted to buy it so bad, but $$$$.

I usually buy the clusters and king crab is my absolute favorite food.

I thought it was kind of cool they brought up how the staff run their own stores. And this does show. When I go to Barnes and Noble and they have staff picks or I can chat with the staff about what books they like, that’s a good sign of a great store.

Incidentally, I’d be curious to see what ebook sales look like to the average consumer. I don’t discount them as a market, especially among heavy readers, but I personally see less ereaders out there these days than I used to and I see many more books. And my personal preference is for books as I just don’t enjoy the format of ereaders. So I’d be interested to see if that market is dipping or not.

This epic work of literature made my day. Cheers!
