Stuff like this was much more common earlier before tractors and trucks. Using water to move logs is old, even water slides for moving them was an thing.

Maria Sirona Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 In finnish, the word for translating something into finnish language is "suomentaa". Since "finlandize" is firstly something completely else and this is the language we're talking about, i guess that when you translate something into finnish, you "finnish" it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Years ago I told my kids that zombies lived in the sewers (we had a large drain on the street we used to live on). Purpose was to keep them from messing around and falling in - and it was way before Pennywise. My son (who was 4) asked if the zombies could ever get out. I told him that they came out after midnight on Halloween (misperceptions of Dia de los Muertos played into this) and would grab kids who were out too late. My kids are teens now. They joke about how mean I was. However... Every Halloween... They're both inside before midnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Last in this series: Sitting together and drinking coffee while eating purloined chocolate goodness... I realized I'm mildly disturbed by my spouse's complete lack of interest in SpaceX's side by side booster landing this morning. I showed her the video, and she was like, 'huh... cool.' Of course that's the exact reaction I give her when she shows me a 15 second video of a chinchilla in a hat holding a sign.

That's London you've painted! Tampere is mostly like that, except that the body of water going through it is a rapid, and its name, Tammerkoski, has four syllables. And also, there are a lot more museums. Like A LOT. And one final thing, half of Tampere is actually forest. Yes, legit. It's in Finland, what did you except?

DDE Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The Objective Individual Combat Weapon was a semi-auto grenade launcher with a regular rifle bolted to it; when the launchers proved troublesome, H&K offered the rifle as a separate system that would become the XM-8. According to Ian McCollum, the official feedback for the first iteration was, I kid you not, "Can you make it more Starship Troopers?" Spoiler This lead to this iteration: By the way, the Starship Troopers movie is 25 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
