We live in a bungalow!”

  2. Lois’ voice is not only hard to keep up, imagine expressing a range of emotions while maintaining that voice. That takes skill.

  3. It is the illegality that leads to abuses, because it operates underground and those being exploited live in fear of reporting those abuses for fear of being prosecuted themselves. This is why many countries, including here in 🇳🇿, have legalized it.

  6. And the wall between 2D and 3D animation crumbles a little more ...

  16. A friend who used to be a roadie taught me the over/under technique for coiling cables, which also works for garden hoses. That means you can deploy it with a simple throw, without it kinking.

  31. I picked up a jar of stir-fry crab paste in a fruit+vege place the other day, not noticing its expiry date. The proprietor was nice enough to point out it was nine months past expiry, and let me have it for free. I made one meal with it so far. Tasted fine. The next three days were kind of a blur ...

  32. Busloads of 🇺🇸 “medical tourists” go to 🇨🇦. Not only is it cheaper, but Government regulation does wonders for quality control, as well.

  33. Orwell’s future was built on fear. For some reason fewer people remember Aldous Huxley’s alternative vision in Brave New World , where the people were conditioned to enjoy their status in life. Seems to me you would have much less chance of social unrest that way.

  57. It could be a literary device for identifying an unsympathetic character.

  78. He was supposed to be down there for three days and three nights. He lied.
    2
  79. Kids don’t know how lucky they are these days ... In my time all we had was Thunderbird 2 taking off from that short inclined ramp without falling off the end.

  80. Turning wood into sawdust is such a crime. Eat it whole, I say.

  81. Was that the Jesus who was in the “heart of the earth” for three days and three nights, or the one who got out early?

  119. So nice to hear that 🇺🇸 was a beacon of human rights, even back then.
    1
  120. Don’t bother, watch Mel Brooks’ High Anxiety instead. A whole heaping helping of Hitchcock movies† in one! †Well, homages to them.
    1
  121. Or how about a mashup -- a stone-age version of the Jetsons, with flying cars ... made out of stone!
    1
  122.  @TheTiptap88  Interesting, isn’t it? They just don’t notice their own levels of violent crime. Probably thanks to brainwashing by organizations like the NRA.

  131. I had fun when PC fax modems first came out. Suddenly you got good-quality graphics at the other end. Even more fun, use a proper photographic-quality scanner on the PC to input an image, and watch it appear perfectly legible at the other end, with dithered gradations, instead of those black blobs you usually get.

  137. Rock-and-roll is basically uptempo Blues. And Blues was invented by black people. Though it has some commonality with Touareg music (e.g. the “blue note”). Possibly because the Touaregs were the slave traders who delivered those Africans to their European owners. And you get influenced by those you come into contact with. History is complicated. And subtle.
