Plus their little pal Israel. I saw a meme making a case for the biblical ark being built in North America. Perhaps we could convince Bibi and his cronies Israel should actually be in the American Midwest. We’ll see how many Yanks support Zionism when so-called ‘settlers’ are killing their neighbors and taking their homes.
The issue is the contrast between a sweet, rich dessert and dry wine makes the wine taste sour and unappetizing.
If you’re not familiar with this work, I highly recommend Mulholland Drive, whose two lead actresses are pictured with Lynch in the meme. Twin Peaks is a good option but it’s a show and therefore quite long. Then watch Eraserhead if you want to get weird.
It’s director David Lynch.
These are the gay tokens you spend to play gay games to win gay tickets to exchange for gay prizes, right?
Oblivion “remastered” just came out. OG Oblivion was released 20 years ago.
Sometimes means you’re not drinking enough water.
…manual artistic refinement.
Manual in comparison to what? The preceding Gen AI steps? I suspect we have an admission by omission here.
Right on! I’ve been using a refurbished t14s for years. Which one did you catch?
Edit: nvm, I see it’s a T480. Solid choice!
No longer playing it is sometimes a win.
Funny that, I just started a collection of entertainingly bad movies. We’re at 100+ already. Highlights thus far include
Zardoz - Sci-fi Sean Connery in a future diaper.
Magic Magic - Horror movie Michael Cera.
Troll 2 - A Troll movie entirely bereft of trolls.
Showgirls - Stripper Nicholas Cage as played by Jesse from Saved by the Bell.
Critters 3 - Leonardo DiCaprio’s film debut.
Breakin’, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, AND Rappin’ - no explanation needed.
The movie with nary a troll in it.
Here’s a static one, just for you!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one.
… as he faces Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democratic nominee…
P.S. It seems this GIF is large portion of my replies lately yet is perfectly appropriate each time.
I hope you’re not an expect witness in maths.
Which country was this?
Sadly, it’s only the horizontally compressed logo for Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

Elephant Racing
colloquialism for one lorry (semi truck) overtaking another.
Elephant racing is a colloquial term for a situation where one lorry (semi truck) overtakes another on a multi-lane road (usually a highway) with a small speed difference.
Quantitative Analysis
The overtaking process usually takes several minutes due to the small speed difference. This difference is often due to the legal allowance being the speed limit plus 6 km/h tolerance, but the speed in the overtaking lorry is instead set to 10 km/h above the limit. Even if the faster vehicle ends up closer than the prescribed 50 m following distance for trucks above 50 km/h, overtaking at speeds below 10 km/h isn’t permitted. With a difference of 4 km/h, an elephant race takes at least half a minute if the passing lorry is already very close and returns to its lane immediately after.
Taking into account lane changing as well as the distance before the overtaking process, a typical overtaking manoeuvre will take 3 minutes and extend over 4 kilometers at a speed difference of 2 km/h. Sometimes these attempts fail and are aborted, especially when increased air resistance or gradient changes negate the excess speed.
The time saved is very small, even over a day. For a distance of 500 km at a constant speed of exactly 80 km/h, it takes 6 hours and 15 minutes. If the route is clear throughout and is driven at a constant speed of 82 km/h, it will still take 6 hours and 6 minutes, not even 10 minutes less. These 10 minutes of time savings contrast with the significantly higher time losses for the many affected car drivers on two-lane highways.
It’s possible, just not probable because the people actually running the world don’t give a fuck about the rest of us.
