Master Phruby

Thanks for the reminder! Just woke up my cat now... she was sleeping perfectly. Just as we are when she HOWLS and wakes us up 1hr. before she knows she's usually fed at 5am.  sigh

Happy Cat Day biotch, and thanks for pooping outside the box!  lol

Slave Leia, because she gives Skywalker a rise.

Was just at Walmart and didn't see any new Star Wars stuff. 

If I spend any money on anything related to that movie at all, I'll wait until the toys are on clearance for 50 cents, like all those unwanted Snoke and Rose Tico action figures from Episode 8.

That's next for S.F.

Happy Birthday!  I'm not far off myself...

Happy Birthday!

I turned 50 at the end of July...  Not too happy about it...

No Biggie...Life goes on...

Mickey: Hold my beer … 

That might explain why "certain" movies seem to really high numbers.

Reading the entire article, at least going by what it states, I can't understand how this accusation is legitimate. Perhaps there are other facts to consider, or the article gets some facts wrong (as one of the comments seems to indicate). How can incorrect gift-card revenue lead to billions in overstatements for the parks operating segment? 

But I really wanna play Slingo! No, it MUST be on there!

-My Stepmom, in 2004, probably.

I had a friend in high school who picked up some bad programs/files from torrent sites, to the point that her computer was essentially bricked & needed a factory wipe to run again. Several days & a hefty bill paid to Geek Squad by her grandparents later, she had her machine back... and killed it again within a week becuase the first thing she did was go back to the exact same sites & re-download the exact same crap that bricked it the first time! Definition of insanity indeed...

Felt it pretty strongly here (Santa Clarita). Plus an aftershock right on its heels.

We were getting kind of sea sick.

Same here - very weird sensation. Still a little queasy. Feels like aftershocks are still wobbling my apartment.

Are you ok?

Didn't feel it up here. Heard it was felt in Vegas though.

It's not illegal here,...Well OK it's technically illegal within city limits...Not that they worry about it on July 4th...Here in WY we actually have more fireworks stands than Starbucks!    We also have more fireworks stands than Arby's, Taco Bells, Burger Kings, KFCs, Taco John's or Wendy's...

Hmmmm,  I thought a bunch of people would simply write YES!

And a NES game that looks like dog doo. 

http://www.lostlevels.org/200610/

Have to seek that game out.

As for the segment that was cool.   First off, I've always thought that Romunlan was a hottie.  And the Earth ambassador was David Warren... how did I not notice that before?

David Warner. What a hammy hack he was! Though I suppose he was good at picking high-paying jobs. He was THE evil cinematic British villain for a while there. 

That depends on how busy it is, and on the applications using it.

Kinda depends who's asking. If it's a client, you'll need many hours a day including overtime. If it's for fun/yourself, yeah, just set it and forget it! Make backups. 

Running - not so hard.  Performance might be a different story.

MySQL is probably a little bit easier than MS SQL, but if you want to fhck with any database system, just go changing data on a massive scale and see what happens.  If you update 70% of the rows (or insert or delete) you will likely get some unexpected behavior, but I'd stop short of saying that it would stop "running."  Of course, if you were to delete a table critical to a specific application, well that makes for an exciting Friday morning.

STAY ON TARGET

ARE WE NOT MEN?

Yes, technically

Life is great

I thought it was about getting camel toe while ya play golf, (in your Tee Zone).

Nice, 70+ year old commercial messages.

Nope, it's "Megablast (Hip Hop on Precinct 13" by Bomb the Bass. I do hear a similarity and think they came out in the same year.

And Megablast actually sampled John Carpenter's music for Assault on Precinct 13.

I love that! We have seen the Tbirds fly over many times, too

Awesome! We get the T-Birds every year in July! Occasionally a full airshow...Last time had a Zero and a P-51 Mustang, and they would sometimes fly in tandem with more modern fighters. Been a while though.

That, or your house just time-traveled back to WWII.

My favorite was listening to an old Dodger game and hearing Vin Scully announce that for every Dodger home run, Lucky would donate a carton of cigarettes to the local veteran's hospital. That's wrong on so many levels now.

Yeah, silly old times, because modern are all hunky-dory. Thanks, FDA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-to-consumer_advertising

Things are certainly better, though. All those scares from contaminated food? In years past, people would just die and we wouldn't hear about it.

Game idea: simulation building game focused around woo scam modeled after Gwyneth Paltrow's "Goop,"

Or Pandemic with an anti-vax faction.

Maybe the problem was they advertised it 6 months in advance to generate buzz, but then there was only, like 2 ads on TV right before it came out...

What GoldLeader said - saw it, loved it, but wasn't surprised it flopped. Hard sci-fi is a tough sell when most of the audiences want space opera.

I always thought it was a good, fun, innovative film myself.

Is that the one in which the pickles are stacked heavier on the other side?

Watch out so you don't eat too many and need to call 119, the emergency number for left handed.

Oh, the joke is on me. 119 is actually used in South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Jamaica (possibly more).

They're over here ...

All I know is...Here, there be Gerblins https://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Zone-Here-There-Gerblins/dp/1250153700

Yup! I can get a Medium 2 topping Pizza for $3.14 if I buy an order of Cin Stix @ menu price! Granted I will have to dig out of my driveway in the next 3 or 4 hours to get up the hill to the pizza place!

They put out a bunch of pie and cake in the lunch room. I'll take the fake holiday today!

Magnum P.I. day for me.
