It's from an old movie called Little Nicky. Here is the scene: https://piped.video/watch?v=N7itFdNE2Qw&t=108

Time sure flies. I remember pausing my N64 to watch the news coverage.

I know it's a shitpost. I still had to look it up. Honestly couldn't remember when this happened.

That was the end of the roll. It wasn't a continuous loop, just 100-ish feet of towel that they needed to wash periodically.

Grandpa always had 3-5 in the glovebox of his truck. One would always get left somewhere or someone at the boat launch would be swearing about missing theirs and he'd give them one. Just one of those things you have to keep around.

The fact that people this stupid exist
The best thing for my family was that we were in St Jude with our daughter while the rest of the world lost their minds. I was able to speak directly to Infectious Disease doctors that had nothing to do with anything but researching for cancer patients. They had worked with the original doctors for the Covid vaccine, and how long it had been in development as we learned more about the disease. People were just going off ignorance. Just because you don't know, doesn't mean everyone else is trying to lie to you.

If you're going to do this, use blanks or shotgun with birdshot. That way you're not raining lead on some unsuspecting person a mile or so away and birdshot is just small bbs that don't have a high terminal velocity.

The thief has a chance to do the funniest thing
Depends on if this is a work issued device or not. If someone steals my work issued, I don't care at all. We have systems where I can still get my things done and the laptops are encrypted with remote wipe capabilities. Sucks to lose equipment, but whatever. That's on my boss' cost center.
Losing my personal laptop is another story. That's money out of my pocket, investments in upgrades, and the worst part is the sticker hoard on the lid. How am I supposed to re-coup that kind of loss? I don't even remember where I got all of them, and then the placement. It took weeks for some of them to make the cut and get positioned where you could still see the logo on the front without hindering the others. This would be a travesty.

This sounds like it would be hilarious
This would be a great set of additions for any of the Dark Souls games. Fail a parry, get one-hit killed by a basic mob, etc. Seems like this would be a great addition to a lot of games.

You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?

We were in there once or twice a month getting solder and random assortment of components for little home projects we had going. The workers also knew how to help and always had suggestions for the projects we were doing. I remember the day we (grandpa and I) went into the store and realized it wasn't the same anymore. Only a small selection of components and the whole front was full of RC cars and random expensive electronic gadgets nobody asked for. We only went back once or twice, but it became evident that we can't find what we were looking for there anymore. We started sourcing our parts from overseas vendors for fractions of a cent per unit, but we had to buy in bulk. We stopped doing those small projects because it was taking too long to get components and the cost was out of hand with thousands of unused components in boxes in the project room taking up space. Well, made myself sad for the morning.

I completely agree. Shower, get the grime off, then soak in the bath. You get to enjoy the good oils and fragrance and you lower your UTI risk significantly.

How did marking corrections with the astrisk originate?
Literature has been using asterisks, daggers, double daggers, etc. to denote markups, notes, corrections, whatever for centuries.
This is going to sound condescending and it's not intended that way, but read a book. Not a fiction, but non-fiction. Biographies that need research, science texts on detailed subjects, psychology with many interpretations, really anything outside of a storybook.
Have fun learning, and this is not a dumb question. You're on the right track.

When did Lemmy become Reddit?
Welcome to the internet, where one thing you do not speak against is Porn or it's addictive characteristics.
Also, it seems like you kept trying after having your comment deleted. Mods don't like people attempting to spam the same thing. If your message is removed, take the message and move on, unless you feel like getting blocked like this. Unlike Reddit, there is no oversight on mods here. You can push it up the chain, but you might run into the mod of the community being the mod of the instance as well.

I can hear this picture. I had repressed that this was in the show, and there were many more.

Judge partially strikes down Georgia ban on giving voters food and water in polling lines
Reply in thread
The problem is that campaigns will use snacks and water to campaign as close to polling places as possible. That's what the law is trying to prevent, so that there aren't 15 10'X10' tents with names emblazoned on top just to garner more votes.
How you solve for that is: No branding or signage beyond "Free Water" or "Free Refreshments" and workers are not allowed to speak to anyone. Just place things on a table. Campaigns can setup tents, refreshments outside of a new buffer, 300 ft. Or, OR, just ban campaigns from setting up tents. If it's found, they forfeit the election.
But, we all know that legislatures aren't about making common sense laws.
Update: I appreciate all of the responses. I've read up more on this law, and ya'll are right. The way it's written, and how it's communicated are different. I'm leaving my original comment up for clarity. Discourse is good and I appreciate the softer approaches along with some of the more angry of you.

No, but in the area we were in at the time it was mainly flat-bottomed aluminum boats. All of them were similar sizes, so pretty generic plugs.

for the 1 other person who is is playing fantast hockey and has Skinner
Reply in thread
Here is a story about the game
TLDR; Skinner was not awarded the shutout because he was removed from the game in the first period due to concussion protocols. He did finish the game, but since he wasn't the only goalie, no shutout.

They deserve something in return. Maybe those shitheads James Woods and Mel Gibson could unchain a few pennies.

If I'm following news properly, these are probably the juveniles who were taken from their holding facility to fight fires. They are not compensated for this work, but are placed in harm's way.
