Thanks. Also, sorry. Sometimes I forget how much I’ve tweaked my preferred browser. I just visited the link I posted with a stock browser and I think it gave me blern crancer.

Beats me. It’s pretty obviously a 5D elevator with each column representing an axis. It’s common sense if you’re familiar with octonions and think of the elevator as a vector with the lobby as the origin. I don’t know how much more clear the designers could have made it.

Your succinct rebuttal captures so perfectly what I believe was very likely the attitude of that era.

Past all the obvious points like, “smoking is bad,” “smoking in the car is worse,” etc, this still seems like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist and might make things worse. Even the standard electric lighters in the dash at the time seem like a better option. I always assumed those were a backup anyway.
This thing has a hopper that can hold a pack’s worth of loose cigarettes, but the user has to load them in there. Needless to say, orientation matters, so that’s one more thing that can go wrong. On top of that, if the device isn’t the primary source of cigarettes, then there’s just an open pack of cigarettes sitting in a hot car, going stale for most of the day. That is, unless the user primarily works in their vehicle, this device mostly just oxidizes cigarettes. Even then, nothing about the function of the device is faster or simpler than someone grabbing a cigarette, putting it in their mouth and using a conventional lighter, all of which can also be done one-handed.

Agreed. The timing is everything here. Too early and they miss the hype train, but too late and they lose their leverage.

Yeah, that was a particularly wild episode, even for them.
At first, I thought you were implying the quote was from that episode, so I looked it up. Turns out my quote was a little off. It should have been:
“Your boos mean nothing. I’ve seen what makes you cheer.”
Being more succinct, I think it hits a little harder.

I would have guessed Shyamalan, but a Tarantino interpretation of The Sixth Sense would be interesting.

The sequel to The Sixth Sense that nobody asked for.

That’s probably better than the opposite extreme, although I think most of us learn to filter intuitively for appropriateness over time. Having said that, I feel like telling medics your symptoms and your attorney anything they ask generally covers most of the bases.

I love that quote so much. I hate that it’s from Rick.

That last paragraph, especially, explains it so well. It’s very important to know to whom, when, where, why, how, and to what extent one should talk about a particular subject.

Yeah, i think that’s it. It was pretty much just a hyperbolic commentary on the 2000s and the world kept heading in that direction.
It gets a lot of flak for it’s eugenics themes. I agree that the problem isn’t a system that breeds people genetically predisposed to stupidity. I would have preferred it if the movie had chosen a different mechanism for the dumbing down of the population.
Personally, I think it’s socioeconomic. Rising wealth inequality is causing a decline in the quality of the average median level of education.

For the last time, I’m pretty sure… what’s killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.
But Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.
So wait a minute. What you’re saying… is that you want us to put water on the crops.
Yes. Water.
Like out the toilet?
Well, I mean, it doesn’t have to be out of the toilet, but, veah, that’s the idea.
But Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.
Okay, look.
The plants aren’t arowing, so l’m pretty sure that the Brawndo’s not working. Now, I’m no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.
Well, I’ve never seen no plants grow out of no toilet.
Hey, that’s good. You sure you ain’t the smartest guy in the world?
You wanna solve this problem. I wanna get my pardon So why don’t we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?
Brawndo’s got what plants crave.
Goddamn it. Yeah, it’s got electrolytes.
What are electrolytes? Do you even know?
It’s what they use to make Brawndo.
Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo?
'Cause Brawndo’s got electrolytes.
After several hours, Joe finally gave up on logic and reason… and simply told the cabinet that he could talk to plants… and that they wanted water. He made believers out of everyone.

That’s so weird. Why do they even care what the replacement reason is?
It’s like, “Just deactivate them and send new ones to the address on record.”
Maybe they were stolen. Maybe they were slid through someone’s buttcrack as a joke and merchant’s won’t take stinky buttcards. Shouldn’t matter. The cards are now unusable for whatever reason. They should send new ones.
