  1. I have encountered the same. You will probably find it is something to do with storytelling. Watching the movie, you are supposed to be a spectator or fly-on-the-wall, as opposed to being someone in that audience. Maybe they want to convey the hard graft of being a comedian and they want you to relate to the comedian not the audience. "You think the joke is funny the first time you hear it. Tell me what you think after telling it every night for the next eight weeks." That is my theory.
  2. I suspect we will soon find out that a similar miscalculation is how you ended up calling yourself 101.
  3. What about "Everytime I eat vegetables it makes me think of you" by the Ramones?
  4. When Montenegro became an independent country, its Internet domain switched from ".yu" to ".me"
  5. .. but if nukes really are a deterrent then why did he invade Ukraine? Why does he need protection from NATO and the EU? Why does he need a buffer of any kind?
  6. I knew the song within a second but didn't know the name of the song or who sang it. Sigh.
  7. #Heardle #42 ️️️️️ https://heardle.app
  8. A key difference there is walkability. A lot of America is poorly designed for walking and it is even regarded with suspicion. Where even walking is not something people do - you get some seriously large people.
  9. Not to mention that the lime will add another 30 calories. Maybe better to miss it out.
  10. I mentioned this before on here but Ronald Reagan once went to Norad Command deep inside a mountain in Wyoming. He jokingly remarked "Well I guess we will be safe in here if the Russians decide to nuke us just now". The reply came back, "No, Sir. We will still be dead". His attitude to nuclear weapons changed a bit after that.
  11. Two days after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima they had the trams up and running again. A minor inconvenience. The whole thing is overstated!
  12. Famous bump in the night ends hot romance.
  13. The story to this film is just a blank slate. So is the sequel
  14. Conservation of energy means each gravity assist is a gain for the satellite and a loss for the planet. For example, Voyager slowed down Jupiter! Seriously it did! By about a foot every trillion years.
  15. It is still less than 1 light day away.
  16. .. and to be fired. Hence it is better to get the sack than be fired.
  17. Similarly, workers were often required to provide their own tools. If they were dismissed, their tools might be put in a sack and handed back to them. Alternatively the tools would be thrown on the fire, never to be used again.
  18. That looks better. One or two are the wrong way round but hopefully nobody will notice.
  19. If I was taking a taxi for a short journey, I would offer a tip as something of an apology for them maybe missing out on a bigger fare. For longer journeys, I do not offer a tip apart from rounding up.
