Bullshit. I’m an American, do you know how much corn we have?


Nope. Hell I’m not even sure there was one.
The venn diagram of “people who organize and attend high school reunions” and “people I want to ever see again” are two circles drawn on different pages in different books on different shelves.


Yeah. He lived to the ripe old age of 18. Had a long, happy life playing in all the boxes he could ever want.


Can other things like fine sand refract rainbows?
I definitely own a shirt that is “good enough to fall off a roof in” and half a t shirt in the wood shop I cut up for wiping on varnish.
Please do not the SD card.
Xhamster isn’t American.


You think Europe is any less corrupt?


When is the last time you saw someone in a movie hotwire a car?
According to every movie I’ve seen, the way it’s done is you reach under the steering wheel and yank down a panel that is apparently velcroed on. A bunch of loose wires dump out, including two wires conveniently in front whose ends are conveniently stripped and tinned. You grab these two wires and strike them against each other like flint and steel. This apparently switches on the vehicle’s electrical and ignition systems, disengages the steering lock and engages the starter motor.
Funnily enough you actually could hotwire a plane like that; because of how magnetos work, turning the ignition systems on is accomplished by disconnecting a couple wires.


The first movie isn’t that bad until, there’s a scene where he’s sideswiped by a Chevy Tahoe and just batted out of frame. That would not have left his skeleton intact.

I want a realistic hacking movie, and I know how it should be done:
In plot, it needs to be an ensemble cast heist movie a la Ocean’s Eleven. But it should have a “this isn’t serious” tone similar to Down Periscope. Because it’s about a penetration testing company. They’re hired to do a full physical and digital security audit on some large company, so then we follow the crew of law abiding computer nerds and burglars as they plan and perpetrate a series of hacks and attacks on this company.
The stakes if they get caught are they hand a letter of authorization to the security team, say “good job” and report to the company that hired them that their security in that department is good, so even though they’re taking their job seriously there isn’t really any tension and they maintain a goofy sense of humor.
And you’re in luck, Jayson Street and Deviant Ollam have already pretty much entirely written this, just watch their defcon talks. Get those two guys on either side of a coffee table with a bottle of fine whiskey and you’ll have your screenplay before the bottle’s empty.
It’ll never get made though because Master Lock would sue you for even trying. You couldn’t make it without completely obliterating Master Lock.


Find me a romantic comedy that doesn’t depict either of the two leads being psychotic or felonious.


There’s a Youtuber named Bernadette Banner who does a lot of antique style sewing and fashion and such. She made a replica of the white dress Mary Poppins wears in the cartoon segment of the movie. At the end of the video, she frolicked in the park in it. The next video was the 3 day process of period accurate washing it. She followed a manual written back in the day, and omitted the gasoline(!) the detergent recipe called for.


One of the most important race tracks in the United States is in Daytona Beach, Florida. The entire motor racing culture of Daytona sprung up because the local beach sand is actually hard, densely packed and worn very smooth by the waves. The earliest car races there used a significant portion of the beach itself as the track.


You need somewhere to piss. What are you going to do, go in the ocean?
