🙂 Jeepers, the “needle jumps” 50 secs in. Someone over there mentioned Lord of the Flies/Children of the Corn/Planet of the Apes, thus the moral of the story is: Fat wins the day? 😛
Yes, and newsflash read all about it, all those great films will never make it over on any of the umpteen fta channels over here. 🙁
Don’t recommend watching The One…[Read more]

Weird, Bergeron was a Frenchman, from a French family, with a motto on the fca in English. His father doesn’t have it, but Nicolas much earlier has it. She uploaded the image to the site with nary a historical reference, thus it has merrily propagated to other commercial heraldry sites like this with the usual beguiling authentic look.
Yeah the…[Read more]

Cool! Most video editing stuff is beyond me as I’ve never really messed with it 😛

The periodic name changes to xMM (First OBMM, then TESMM (or something), and then NMM) are rather problematic. The general name change was understandable but the latest one isn’t all that necessary. The issue is that other programs that rely on the current name…[Read more]

Need to share this one again:

It’s a classic! They show it on TCM periodically 😛

A quick reverse image search says that it’s similar to the tradition Stearns coat of arms and the one for this guy. There were a couple of others as well but those were the most similar 🙂

They didn’t give a timeframe, it was more of a call to action than anything. It mostly focused on how it would disrupt the ocean currents.

Over here, our buses have bike racks but they can only hold a couple of bikes. In other areas, people are starting to get folding bikes to more easily take with them but those can get heavy! 😛

Can be! A Google image search will reveal much, he might have based his mods on a real fca, you just have to find it. 😛
Posted a question over at Genealogy going way way back – you know, as Google search evolves to encompass more content, so do the the mysteries multiply. 😛

Interesting – the info on Wikipedia suggests a minimum time interval before melt as 1000 years, is it possible sooner?
Just a couple of posts back:

Toronto trains are trams on steroids

Over here, our commuter trains are trams on downers, and that’s on a good day!
And someone from Reddit said trackless trams are glorified buses. It matters little…[Read more]

Cool!

Is the family crest a recent addition or is it an ancestral symbol? Ten years ago, my grandfather made a bunch of them for the family as a joke because he was bored 😛

😛

Decided to try the sausages again as it’s been a few years. Hopefully I don’t find any fragments this go around 🙂

Yep, pedestrian and bike traffic seems to be an afterthought! Just a couple of months ago, they were doing sidewalk repairs by laying down new sections of concrete and decided to do both sides of the road on the same day. Come…[Read more]

Haven’t seen Artificial Intelligence yet but it’s been on the list for years. Just haven’t gotten around to it 😛

Watched Mortuary yesterday and that was quite good. The first half is mostly a mystery film and then the killer gets active for the second half, with a few unexpected twists to it. Very well done even if a couple of the facial…[Read more]

Purchased a single use licence for AceMovi some time back, not a bad program to use, found out later the licence is per machine, not user. To use the licence on a second machine, PM them for a new key, so that the old key on the old machine won’t work anymore.
They, like most other editors have common video techniques documented, including the Ken…[Read more]

As the new tablet has begun to acquire cobwebs, and the 8 year old tablet already starting to show a little wonkiness, went ahead and transferred the data with Smart Switch. Went fairly well, although the program can be a bit picky if things are not plugged in the required sequence. 🙂
Fun fact, the micro Usb 2.0 to USB C cable purchased for the…[Read more]

Yep, such actors get a rep as leading lights in their own unique way – typically when they score much coveted roles on offer like Lamp Post #1. 😛
Yet, Shallow Grave gets a fairly positive rap from th eviewers, so on the list – as does the (unrelated) 1994 movie. 🙂
Have you seen A.I. Artificial_Intelligence? Much investment in time and resources…[Read more]

Yep, attempting to convince a 240 lb butcher wielding a meat cleaver his mince sucks is arisky at best. 😛
There are some good bike trails in Florida, pity they do not co-exist with main roads very well. Problem the world over. 🙁
In the Florida Keys Heritage Trail, there’s “obey all traffic laws.” Over here bikes on trails aren’t considered as…[Read more]

They haven’t done a robotic dino yet…? They’ve done most everything else!

No cartoons or ads in this one! Pure science!

🙁 Had similar issues buying sausages from the local butcher. Every time I buy some, I wind up with fragments in them. The sausages themselves are great as they make them themselves but I got tired of them not separating…[Read more]

Indeed, and as Gordon Gekko might have once said, “Green is good!”
Talking of bones and teeth, here’s a nice sound
https://freesound.org/people/Bon_Vivant_Pictures/sounds/456366/

Sounds like a robotosaurus would make the perfect villian in the next Transformers movie! 🙂

Never judge a magazine by its cover, go to the back page and check out the cartoons first! 😛

Having a major bitch about our national emblem minced, cracked teeth are no fun at all.

Yay! Got my first issue of Nature!
