Seems to be unanimous. I’ll call the prime minister.

Good point. Maybe when we run out of things to screw up in the world.

I have a reason. Most people are right handed. In a Right hand drive car with manual gears your preferred hand remains on the steering wheel when you change gears. Also messing with the stereo or climate controls also leaves your preferred hand on the wheel.

There is a letter G in the word recognise. Bloody use it. What people all say is “reckonise” which is not the same word. Also driving on the left just makes way more sense.

Shlarmle - To lie constantly from a position of power.

Shlarmled - The people who the Shlarmler wants to be believed by.

None. I open what I need and then close it after I’ve used it. I feel like I’m the weird one because so many people seem to live with countless tabs open all the time. I think people who keep tabs open have no sympathy for power, cpu, and ram usage. Nutters.

The “Mostly” thing is the most famous quote from Aliens.

The movie quote for “its a dry heat” is from Aliens but I think it is a common phrase used in places like Arizona.

I probably didn’t pick the most well known ones, but watch the film (which is always worth doing) and you’ll see.

“Get away from her you bi tch”

Fuckin’ aye

Aliens

There is literally no competition. Every scene has at least 1 classic line. Aliens is also the gold standard reference used by all action movies since.

It’s a dry heat

Nuke it from orbit

There goes our salvage guys

You got the duty, open that bag

Mostly

Another version I’ve heard is “When you suspect a conspiracy you often only find incompetence”

We call those Clag nuts or Dangle berries.

Only boring people get bored.

Utter nonsense but it was said to my boy by a junior school teacher. Was an interesting conversation when I talked to her at parent teacher day.

There is a Segway between boomer and Gen X but every generation has an overlap. I’m a Gen X. It is a small generation that lived through the creation of the internet society. We were also responsible for 90s independent music labels and the production of the greatest music since the 60s (you are welcome btw). Boomers are post war nationalists that stopped learning anything new after their 18th birthday.

Our inability to trust anyone foreign or unfamiliar. This legacy of our evolution used to be the safest way to live. No it just holds us all back.

My torrenting level is very casual and (sry) I only leech. Also my ISP is a small one in the UK. Our Government seems to only force the big ISP to tattle on its users and block pirating sites. At least that’s how it has been for the last 10 years.

I have qbittorrent and Plex on my server. It is tempting to setup a VPN just for qbittorrent just to be sure.

Yip, or at least be heavily discounted.

Large office buildings have been cringe to me for a few years. And wearing suits to the office, which just look like personalised school uniforms to me.

Posting one for Firefly!

Yes, it is still excellent even by today’s standards, and you can see why so many new shows followed their big budget approach.

There are a couple small parts that can be a bit hard to get through, but for me that’s just part of the situation they are in, and it is all totally worth it.

No matter what anyone thinks of the ending, it does at least have a conclusion. You are not left wondering or half expecting a sequel.

To be consistent on a physical level.

I play guitar and games like rocket league, things that require excellent physical dexterity, and consistency is a big factor. I struggle to repeat physical actions the same way every time. I practice lots, and I’m reasonably good at both things (imho), but I know I screw up more than most people because I can’t repeat things the same way every time.
