Common in Florida, this sign warns tourists that locals may be wearing a banana hammock.

IDK man… in my experience vegan balloon-knot and carrots 🥕 🐖🦩🎟️🤙
I’m just guessing on the vegan part obviously…
College is tough, sometimes you just forget your carrot in the shower.

Could have just been washing it for later consumption. Best to see if it’s still warm.

Nobody.

Back in my day we’d post a Polaroid a day, but that was only if you were a successful turnip farmer like myself… wait, what was I talking about again?

- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 5 weeks ago:
That’s true, it took them 10-15 years but they built a huge service business. I was specifically referring to the loss of the desktop market to the “clones” which has a rough equivalence.
It was more of a cheap shot than a serious prediction ☺️ As long as MS controls the licensing and software this is a completely logical move.

Man, that kind of figures… I bet it was a PR campaign that they paid for. So in a way we all got value out of that lie… nope. No satisfying conclusion to be found here 😒

Anyone member when IBM decided it was an “ideas company” or some bullshit like that?
I mean, they still make more than I do, but when was the last time anybody thought of IBM?

This is a common misconception in the U.S., it’s not even the car’s job… that crappy sticker has the shittiest union.

- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 8 months ago:
In retrospect… yes.
I offered the story as a kind of parable (except not because I didn’t make it up) or random data point if you will, on pissing standing up.

I’m afraid I really have no answers for you… but then again I don’t think I’m your survey pool.
But I did once stay at a small hotel in Germany that had a sticker imploring male guess to sit and pee. I pissed all over that poor toilet before we left.
15 years later I feal guilt but also righteous indignation. I really hate being told what to do apparently… even when there are good reasons like another human being, asking you to not make their life hard 😞

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I went looking for… well there was another site that listed them but it seems to be shut down now, so thanks for posting that.
I also ran across and article that mentioned IMDB having a page for every movie that had details on its original shooting format e.g. 2K digital/35mm/sony handycam (looking at you Blare Witch Project)… but I think that’s gone subscription only? Not sure, maybe just gone.

Yeah… not always. Especially older stuff that would need to be rescanned from film.

I just meant someone could uprez an old 1080p transfer themselves ;-) Hopefully there’s a bit more going on with these releases, extra pixels aren’t everything… but I’m one of the folks that believes it should be a new scan, not just some fancy uprezing algorithm.
My parents always warned me that sitting to close to the TV would rot my brain :-)

Ooooo… okay, somehow I was getting like a “did you really have to gender the example?“ vibe… so hopefully that explains my confusion/response.
- Comment on Inaccuracies 10 months ago:
For sure. And ultimately they gave credit where it was due, which is nice but it was a bit jarring. I think that means the filmmakers did their job well and crafted a character I could identify with.
- Comment on Inaccuracies 10 months ago:
Um… I don’t think it matters to me what the characters gender was, but it seemed like the least I could do since I wasn’t going to go back and look up the characters name.
I think you’re reading something into my comment I don’t intend? Strictly referring to a character Ulana Khomyuk from the HBO miniseries here.
