Short Circuit.

It… has not aged well. The practical effects are decent, and the comedy is okay. The brown-face? Not so much. NGL tho, Fischer Stevens had some great lines:

Howard: What if it goes out and melts down a bus load of nuns? How would you like to write the headline on that one!?

Benjamin: Nun soup?

On a Windows PC, the steps include going to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences and unchecking the box.

For everyone who, like me, has to use MS for business reasons.

You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They've got curved swords. Curved. Swords.

You know what really grinds my gears about Vulcans? According to Trek lore their blood is green because they evolved using copper atoms to bind oxygen in the blood. But if that were the case they should have hemocyanin, and their blood should be blue.

I know for a certainty, however, that any inhabitable worlds we might find in the future will definitely look like a sound stage populated with Styrofoam boulders

Anyway, hardcore fans are dumb. I should know, I was one

Didn't this happen with the last MSFS? I seem to remember Steam extending the refund period for that game. But I could've dreamed that

Oh dang yeah DNR. Sometimes I'm a big ol dumb dumb

My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to a NDA DNR after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said "screw that" because he didn't crash again and made a recovery.

He's now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.

If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won't be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes

*edit: DNR, I'm dumb

Clearly you're thinking with your feet, because if you used your brain you'd know you bring the ISS to the bathtub, not the other way around

This is probably the dumbest thing I've heard. You clearly have no idea what you're taking about. To find the leak they need to spray the outside with soapy water. If that doesn't work the next step is to put the ISS in a bathtub and fill the bathtub with water

Why are people asking questions in a question asking forum? Why won't people just stay in their little SEO bubble and stop trying to have a soupçon of human interaction? I am so annoyed with this trend of reaching out to other people for consensus or understanding! I'd block this community, but I'd rather ask condescending questions instead

What do you call someone who barely graduated medical school?

Doctor

(Good job passing your exam :-D )

Every two and a half years solar energy efficiency will double

It's called Ohm's Law

Zeolites replace phosphates in detergent. Is that bad? Aren't phosphates more harmful in wastewater than zeolites?

As I understand it, some zeolites can be aluminum based, and there's some research to show a connection between breast cancer and some aluminum products (deodorant being the largest source). But from what I've read these connections are tenuous, and mostly related to aluminum in deodorant being absorbed and having estrogen-like effects in the body, and the relationship of estrogen to breast cancer.

Why, pray, do I not want to put zeolites in my washer?

Wait, people don't like that movie?

That's like not liking Tommy Boy. Or Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Beef, it's what's for dinner

You may or may not be aware of composer Aaron Copland. You've probably heard his work, or something inspired by it, at some point. In fact, if you remember the 90's (edit: in the US) you most certainly know one of his works, from the Rodeo suite. Specifically "Hoe-down". You just associate it with a particular food

Just past the 1 minute mark is where it gets real familiar

You have to go faster to get on top of the snow. Like a speedboat. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle. I recommend the Dodge Viper

(/jk, in case it wasn't obvious)

All jokes aside, there's a vast difference between driving slower in inclement weather and doing 10 mph in a 40, as the top commenter suggested. Now, was my original comment a bit of a shitpost? A little tongue-in-cheek? Sure!

At the end of the day, we just want to get home safe. But if conditions are bad enough to be doing 1/4 of the speed limit just to be safe? Stay home. People that drive that too slow in the snow are just as dangerous as those that drive too fast. And it's not just ability, but equipment as well

Too right. It was a gross oversimplification, thank you for building on it

It's like a record, but your dad doesn't get as mad when you throw it at your brother
