HAL_9_TRILLION

Oh FFS Akiva Goldsman and JJ Abrams? Well glad we all enjoyed the first one because the sequel is going to SUCK.

Make your own instance and ban that mod from it.

"I want to press the button - an essay" - actually funny stuff! I didn't expect to chuckle, but I did several times. Wishlisted to keep an eye on it!

Do you exit it with escape colon q bang?

Balls right now. Just balls.

I went looking for a picture of it today and got very confused when maps sent me to Australia. There is a rural locale in Australia, named after the battle - Australian soldiers fought in the battle, so that does make sense. What threw me is that the road in the Australian version has a curvature that is very similar to the pictures in the OP:

And yet, this is not the actual Passchendaele. That short circuited my brain for a few seconds this morning, imagining that it had just... never been rebuilt? Wait... part of WWII was fought in Australia? wtf?

Anyway, no. The real deal is in Belgium. It was rebuilt. Here it is (lol):

How weird is that?

No, mid 70s but try as I might ffs, I can't remember which of these was the culprit. I want to say the John Saxon one, because it was always John Saxon. But even then I am unsure.

Not for nothing, but these things can be had on Craigslist and OfferUp for $20 all day long and are amazing.

You want a straightforward path? 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup sugar - that's it, that's ice cream.

Flavor it how you like. Add a teaspoon of peppermint extract and some dark chocolate chips and you got Reddit's favorite flavor - toothpaste! But seriously, add 1 tsp cake batter flavor, some colored sprinkles and yellow cake bits and you got yoruself a KILLER birthday cake ice cream. Or just vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract for the classic. Or add a shot of espresso for your own coffee ice cream. The possibilities are endless.

Put the mix in this thing, churn for 25 minutes, remove to freezer safe containers and freeze overnight.

The great part is, one batch makes about two pints and costs like... $1.50 per pint. It's as good as the highest quality shit you can buy - and that stuff is like $6-7 a pint!

I think I only vaguely knew that a comic was the source. I'm honestly glad I didn't know, because this is a damn fine movie, I'd have hated for it to be ruined because I loved the source - but I sympathize.

I had no idea a sequel was in the works.

I think there might be a bit more than price cuts putting pressure on profits.

Pardon the pontification, I'm probably projecting.

maybe if the Ten Commandments were hanging on the wall in the school that he was in, maybe he wouldn’t have taken a shot at the [former] president.

Ah, mental giants, these.
