Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny?
  • I was a Radioman in the Navy, and some coworkers and I had gone to see Cider House Rules in the theater.

    There's a scene where they come to inform someone that a plane with a loved one on board had been shot down.

    To quote the movie:

    When the plane was hit, the crew chief and the radioman jumped close together. The copilot jumped third.

    We immediately started laughing when we heard that, because we were told that the Radiomen are some of the last to leave a sinking ship due to needing to destroy the cryptographic material. Hearing that a Radioman was one of the first to bail was too good to us..

    Warning: Sad Story | Fading Kitten Syndrome
  • I hope for the best! Sounds so sad, but you being strong may give him a chance.

    I have a little guy I adopted. He checked out of the shelter fine, but as soon as we got him home, he wouldn't eat. We tried different things and tried what the vet advised us to do. Three days and he ate nothing. Became fairly lethargic and barely responsive.

    We started force feeding wet/pate cat food and baby food through a syringe. He fought slightly, but ate it and kept it down. Then one day I just happen to be working with some shredded chicken in the kitchen and he came over and meowed at me. I gave him a little and he actively ate it himself. I gave more and more and he ate all that too. I went to the store and grabbed a couple cans of wet shredded chicken cat food, brought it home and served it to him. He ate it up.

    It was such a relief to see. That was a year and 5 months ago and he's doing amazing. He still meows at me when I'm in the kitchen at lunchtime because he wants a little bowl of his chicken shreds, as that time of day is when I usually made it up for him when he was a kitten.

  • Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays
  • I run GrapheneOS.

    I told myself that my Pixel 8 pro will be enough for a bunch of years. That is, until I went on a trip with it. Now I feel like my Pixel 7 was better than the P8P is, with just as good of a camera with better battery life.

    I'm glad I kept the p7 as a burner, because I may just make it my prime phone. I only upgraded on the prospect of a long lasting phone and received the p7 for free..

  • What discontinued foods do you miss?
  • A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.

    And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.

  • [SPOILER] :: A Scanner Darkly (2006)
  • I thought this movie was a great adaptation of the book. I'm a fan of PKDs writings; Minority Report, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, V.A.L.I.S., and others that were mentioned.

    I couldn't get into The Man in the High Castle tv show, but loved the book. The tv series feels too different too quickly.

  • Wisconsin DOT begins mailing out new license plate stickers to EV and hybrid owners
  • Thanks. Heard that this was happening, but the details then weren't clear on where or if the front also gets one. This clears it up.

    This is gonna be wild for folks who like to put their new year sticker in any open spot instead of removing the old year one before putting on the new one.

  • DCS 2024 And Beyond

    I'm pretty excited to see a full fidelity Fulcrum coming in 2024.
