    [Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

    All the crew was booking it towards the Falcon at that point, save for Luke, who briefly joined the group of stormtroopers watching the duel, so if anything the most she likely got was a brief glimpse of a brown cloak. Of course, Obi-Wan was present at her birth, so he had officially met her in...

    [Brazelton] Grumpy Cat, 7

    Intact females (i.e. not spayed) are "queens," at least among cat breeders, though admittedly it's an infrequently used term. Meanwhile, "resting Queen face" instantly makes me think of Cersei Lannister, so that might actually work...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    One minor medical clarification on this point - people with type 2 diabetes commonly are treated with insulin as a component of medical management, particularly in higher-risk populations or where dietary/weight/lifestyle modifications are unlikely to effect sufficient change in a short period...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I am so glad that you posted this, as I hadn't realized they were touring and just managed to squeak in to see them - they're absolutely phenomenal live! And how cool that you got to "talk shop" with Kevin - he's such a friendly guy (and insanely talented, of course)!

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    I imagine most people's idea of "wait time at the ER" reflects the latter, actually (time from walking through the door to receiving treatment), possibly because they don't necessarily realize that they are being evaluated/triaged when they are examined by a PA/NP. For example, the article...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    To clarify that point slightly, the wait time to initially see a medical professional (physician, PA, or NP) averaged 30 minutes (looks like roughly 10 minutes for cases marked as "immediate" (i.e. critical). Meanwhile, the average time to receive/complete treatment was roughly on the order of...

    The Kickstarter Bonanza - Everything Edition

    FYI, it's the last day (ish, 30 hours left) of this year's Rifftrax kickstarter (this year revisiting MST3K's Giant Spider Invasion and new riffs for Octaman and Star Raiders) - it's already fully funded, but they're going for backer number-based stretch goals now. As in the past, they have a...

    Weird weather

    Would be cooler (hotter?) at 128 F/128K miles/128 mph because then you'd have approximately 28 seconds to take the photo of all the numbers converging before the odometer changed (assuming the temperature remained constant, of course). /computation nerd

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    @Bubble181 The coffee press is a Bodum brand (or presumably is supposed to be). The lady in the photo is Morticia Addams, occasionally called "Tish" by her husband or others. :rimshot:

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    Aside from whatever is actually being stated in the graph above, I cannot fully express how much I hate axis abuse like this, meant to highlight what is likely not a statistically significant difference between the numbers presented. For comparison, here's what those same two columns look like...

    [Movies] Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER THREAD

    Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché, Tenait en son bec un fromage. Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché, Lui tint à peu près ce langage: Et bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau, Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau! Sans mentir, si votre ramage, Se rapporte à votre plumage,Vous êtes le Phénix des...

    [Movies] Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER THREAD

    Great, now I have the Patapon theme stuck in my head. And I fully support the bikinification of the male leads in theory, but for some reason, I keep picturing Harvey Weinstein as Ep IX's Jabba the Hutt, so that takes all the fun out of it :confused: In actuality, the wacky detail I'm most...

    [Movies] Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER THREAD

    Also a cool concept, though I doubt Disney really wanted to make their shiny new space princess evil (unless they did a last-film redemption for her back to the Light Side). Also, seems like they can't figure out how to use their existing ostensibly evil lady in any useful way (viz. Phasma)

    [Movies] Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILER THREAD

    We do see Finn dragging Rose back on a sled through the main door and calling for a med pack (I actually thought she was a goner while she was still in the ship, so her survival was a nice surprise for me!), but it was awfully nice of the First Order to let Finn drag her back to safety when they...

    Standing beneath this serene sky, overlooking these broad fields now reposing from the labors of the waning year, the mighty Alleghenies dimly towering before us, the graves of our brethren beneath our feet, it is with hesitation that I raise my poor voice to break the eloquent silence of God...
