Always loved the bit in Independence Day where they explain that’s how they fund Area 51

I thought it was called Pontypool

I mean, that's also something you only do once without the harness as well

>secure themselves to the best of their efforts with safety harnesses

Anyone ever take advantage of their safety harness to make it look like they fell off mid-job with a trail of paint down the structure?

I used to like Revenge of the Nerds, until I got old enough to realize how rapey it gets

Yeah, the face peeling scene is the one that got me

See, the first time I saw that was a couple days ago, and all that context was missing. Somebody linked to a newer upload of that, and all it said was ‘rails in Ohio / Indiana’. My bad for not looking into it, just searched for ‘Ohio wiggly rails’ to find it again because I thought that was relevant

Lack of personnel because they’re cutting back on payroll, not because they can’t hit some quota

There is, but again, due to lack of personnel & doing stock buybacks instead of maintenance

>Me went to the movies

Yarp

I think he means e's-mail :P

'Learned Reflex' may be more understandable than muscle memory.

As you can see, even supervillians are afraid of lawyers

Just as a quick example:

Newark to Miami from 2/13/23 - 2/17/23

by Plane:

$90-$220 in 3-6 hours

By Train:

$130 - $660 in 27-31 hours.

Amtrack won't let me link it.

Go here for NWK -> MIA

So how is it being related to Yoda?

Not the best idea... those firefighters may have just encouraged you to keep shoving your head through the jar, because 'hey, free cookies!' :P

The good side is that there’s… tradition, for lack of a better word. Your rivals are always going to be your rivals, they’re not going to drop out of the league after a bad year.

The bad side is it encourages tanking. You have owners spend just enough on the roster to keep people coming to the games, and sell it as ‘ we’re retooling for the future ‘

Hell of a movie, also a hell of a book (although the book is 6 days of the condor).

Always really loved the ending of the movie. Not going to spoil it, go watch it :P

Apologies, I'd heard that a while ago and never questioned it. Turns out Halon fell out of favor because it damages the Ozone layer; CO2's the bigger danger for oxygen displacement.

EDIT:

Inhaling halon compounds in high concentrations can cause central nervous

system disorders including dizziness, unconsciousness and tingling in the arms and legs. Exposure

to halon compounds may also cause cardiac sensitization resulting in irregular heartbeats and even

heart attacks (in a severe circumstances). This is because when halon is used on fires, it produces

such decomposition byproducts as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide and traces of free

halogens.

Don’t see how it would have helped. Geese suck at cooking

Ah, I thought the goose itself was up in flames.

Happened to my grandmother once when she was cooking lamb.

(The lamb was up in flames, there was no goose involved)

The problem with halon is it tends to kill people in the room too, not just the fire. It’s a little too good at displacing oxygen

Seconding what this guy said. If you empty an extinguisher and the fire’s not out, you should’ve been running in the first place

To be fair, goose flambé sounds like it was ruined before you applied the CO2 sauce

Nah, even with a full bridge I’m pretty sure there would’ve been too much pointing and laughing to avoid running aground
