kerbiloid Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) "I am your father, Luke!" In the world of clones, genetically modified species, and extraterrestrial races. So, in the world where decoded DNA stamps and detectors would be as usual as photography. How could a person be not aware of his full genealogy, and how could the DNA detector (in the nearest door phone, in the suit glove, in the sword handle, anywhere else) not recognize the DNA match between two persons? So, correctly the scene should look like. (Vader and Luke are fighting, touching hands of each other and heavily breathing) Luke: "What the... Stop, look here. You ... Dad???!1111..."

Of course, my wife is probably disappointed that she has entrusted some portion of our children's education to me, since now they run around quoting Monty Python, 80s Bill Murray comedies, and occasional bits of Blazing Saddles....

For us, my daughter can quote Ghostbusters, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, and most sketches by Monty Python. In fact just yesterday, after my wife grounded her from the PS4 for two weeks, began singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (from The Life of Brian). I thought it was hilarious but my wife, yeah, not so much. She also has my love of '80s hard rock. Nothing like having ACDC going in the car to hear, "turn it up, Dad. You gotta listen to this song loud!" 47 minutes ago, StrandedonEarth said: I fear The Schwartz is strong in your family... Hehehehe... Among other things. Yeah.

StrandedonEarth Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Well, since this came up.... I have to wonder: Has anyone been losing socks lately, with HE (front load) washers? Because I read a long time ago that the dryer wasn’t the culprit; socks could float over the top of the wash tub and down the drain of top loaders, most likely at the start of the spin cycle. That shouldn’t happen with front loaders, especially since they usually have a drain filter/sieve (just had to clean mine out again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, back in the day "athletic" tube socks usually had two colored bands of varying colors near the top, (probably so siblings know which ones are theirs). Hence all the mismatched socks, until the sockmakers got wise and stopped with the colors. And people say we monkee around...

Lisias Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Interesting. I have a really hard time to remember the keysets for some features - I'm not hard playing for some time, I'm forgetting the keybinds all the time. Well, not anymore. (source) WASD is hard to forget, its the Doom keybinds too and it's impossible to fly anything without them. IJKL, now that I have visualised it, it's the keybinds from the old Apple II computer for editing lines on screen. I will never forget this keys again on KSP!! Visual memories are stronger than written ones. I just made the link because the IJKL shape was depicted ad nauseam on Apple2 manuals.

kerbiloid Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) If take the Earth world physical map and invert heights, so make hills be pits and vice versa... And shift the oceanic level to keep the total volume constant. The highest mountain would be Mariana Twin Peaks (because it was a trench). The frighteningly deep Himalayan ocean. Arctic ocean and Antarctic continent get swapped. But stay icy. Mediterranean Ridge crosses two shallow seas. Nile is a strange thousand-km-long and less than 100 m high ground wall from the Mediterranean Ridge to the deep depression in the African Ocean. Russia stays more or less same, as it's mostly a plain at ~100 m altitude, just with Caucasian Sea between the Caspian and Black Mountains. American Eastern and Western Coasts are still Eastern and Western Coasts. But of same ocean. Camels are not ships of the desert anymore, but ships of the sea. Strange two-hump dolphins have been seen there. Edited April 5, 2021 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
