Vox: Why we all need subtitles now.

luxintenebris says...

HEY! I know what that is! It's fun to say too!

"odo lairing GAH luh jist"

'cept hear it wrong the first time thought it was "ortho...."

...but if'n what to read a movie, rather watch foreign films. 'tho some of those English films, like 'Chimes at Midnight', even the subtitles are a bugger to understand.

You're still playing it?!

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for the feedback!

It's become a bit of a burden because I still manually create every puzzle, so every night near midnight I start frantically trying to get the next puzzle ready.

😅

Sounds like there was no appeal, Trump’s insurrection records due to be released tomorrow. Courts are closed today, so there’s no chance of another frivolous delay. Get ready to have Trump’s treason shoved in your face for the next few years, if not forever. You know what’s in there is just horrific. That’s why he’s fighting tooth and nail to hide his unofficial personal/campaign actions surrounding his failed coup attempt.

Edit: nope, today he begged for a stay from the (closed) appellate court. It’s possible they’ll grant one, but unlikely since he has no new argument, and it’s settled law that he doesn’t have any right to claim executive privilege because he’s not the executive. At midnight in DC, the point is moot, don’t be surprised if the documents are handed over by 12:01 am.

Loss after loss after loss. Not a good time to be a Trumpzi. (Trumpist Nazi). I’m thinking he might be regretting reinstating the firing squad. On the plus side, he’s going to get the best ratings of his life if they televise it.

Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Week 1 Summary

JiggaJonson says...

He illegally owned a gun, and was doing some vigilante justice (also illegal), and was out as a 17 year old in Wisconsin past curfew

"No minor under the age of seventeen years shall be or remain in or upon any of the streets, alleys, other public places, or any private place held open to the public in the county between twelve o'clock midnight and five a.m., unless accompanied by a parent"

Then he killed several people by shooting them with an assault rifle.

How To Tie Shoelaces

BSR says...

That doesn't mean you can't get it done. Hell, for $20 and airfare I'd tie 'em for you. Now turn that frown upside down.

10% off if you order before midnight tonight.

Due to my disabilities, I can't tie pretty at the end.

Piece of Bread falling over

StukaFox says...

Somebody made this. Someone said, "Y'know what the world needs in 2021? A piece of fucking bread falling over." They probably said this because they were stoned. Probably very stoned. Y'know, a stoner with an idea is something to be respected and feared at the same time. Every stoner is McGuyver when it comes to getting stoned. No pipe? We gotta apple. No apple? We gotta Coke can. No Coke can? "Here, kitty kitty kitty!"

People are all, "Yeah, stoners 'n' shit...", but do they know how much effort a stoner will expend to score a dimer on a Saturday night when The Wall starts at the midnights in 30 minutes? Heaven, Earth, heavy rocks, speed limits, moral certitudes -- nothing stands in the way iffin' you're dry when you should be high!

That's some tasty-ass lookin' bread, too. Bet that bitch would be primo with some peanut butter on it. Oh wait, cotton-mouth....uhh, let's go for Welch's Grape Jelly instead. Ohhhyeah, one bite of WGJ and you're back in the second grade where the days were infinite and all you had to do is play, knock out a couple of easy math problems, and not torment the cat too much.

Thank fucking Christ 2020 is over.

Something re-enters the atmosphere over Texas.

w1ndex says...

I have seen something like this twice, once at twilight one night and the other time it was pretty late around midnight, both times it was pretty dang cool.

Beyond The Crash - The Worst News Of Your Life

transmorpher says...

Really tragic. I honestly don't care if people kill themselves, but when they take someone with them, that is heart breaking.



I believe Darwinism might be the solution here:

Between Midnight and 3 am, drink driving is legal, and no emergency services will respond to accidents. It's kind of like concept of the Purge movies.

People who are dumb enough to drink and drive will wipe themselves out, and everyone else will avoid traveling during these times.

(I'm sure it's a horribly flawed concept, but I like to fantasize about idiots being wiped from the gene pool to help me deal with the grief from these tragic events).

What can happen to you when you live near train tracks

CrushBug says...

We stayed in a campground in the States, I can't remember where. We didn't know that there were tracks just past the row of trees, just behind our trailer.

The trains only ran after midnight. That was a wake up call.

Special Skill

newtboy says...

To each his (or her) own. Humor is subjective.

Ok, yes, they got heavy handed at times. I gave them leeway because they had to figure out how to dub an entire movie out of another one, so I expected a lot of filler. Considering the source material, I thought they did well.
I had the advantage of not seeing it in theaters, so I didn't pay money for it. I do expect more from a movie I spent $15 to see. As a lazy Sunday movie, it was great.
Full disclosure, I watched Saturday Midnight Kung Fu Theater religiously for over a decade, and those movies are mostly awful...so bad they were hilarious too.

Payback said:

Top Secret was funny. This wasn't.

My give up point was the Narrator during the "punch a hole in a guy" scene. It just went on... and on... and on... Much of the movie was like that. "SEE??? HERE IS THE FUNNY THING!!! NOTICE HOW IT'S FUNNY??? IT'S FUNNY!!! HERE!!! RIGHT HERE!!! FUNNY!!! HAHA!!! IT'S A FUNNY THING!!! OK!!! I'LL DESCRIBE IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY!!! YOU SHOULD BE STILL LAUGHING IT'S SO FUNNY!!! HOW FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY WE ARE!!!"

Colbert To Trump: 'Doing Nothing Is Cowardice'

newtboy says...

Ok, statistics class was 28 years ago....and I was pretty high by midnight. We both made mistakes...i still say that blaze chart is bullshit and intentionally misleading in multiple ways.

How many years before a 50% chance of cancer...heart disease, death by stairs...etc. We don't assess things that way, so it's just a nice big number to trot out and pretend it's meaningful.

Statistics can be used to prove anything, forfty percent of all people know that.

What if you put them all together, including suicide and accident, instead of starting by dividing into various gun death categories then choosing the least probable category to extrapolate? Now compare them to other dangers we strongly regulate against with evolving regulations, like automobile accidents. That's how these stats are properly used. Dangers aren't radiation, you don't look at the half life to comprehend them.

Probability doesn't stack like that.

Imagine this.
25% chance. I.E. 0.25 ratio.

Using your method, after 10 trials, the ratio is 0.25 * 10 = 2.5, aka 250%. Beyond certain.



The proper method for 10 trials at 25% is : 1-(0.75^10) = 94% chance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_distribution#Assumptions:_When_is_the_geometric_distribution_an_appropriate_model.3F



Hence why 1/24'974 per year (aka 0.004% chance per year) needs 17'000 years to reach 50% chance overall.

If you use the discharge figure (1/514'147), you get to 350'000 years to reach 50%.
