I’ve had a few, from the ubiquitous grasshopper to a racing Kyoto 4wd. I remember the old speed controllers not being good at minimum power…a tiny bit of stick and you would hear the controller whine but no movement, a bit more it would shudder a bit but not move, a bit more and it would suddenly jump forward a few inches before I could pull power back to crawl. Tiny precise movement was difficult, at least for me. That was also over 30 years back.
Granted, I was known for only having two throttle positions in my RC driving repertoire…full off (and breaking) or full throttle. My full size off road racing style was similar.
I still think the transition from static to in motion is hard to control at those scales (maybe electronics can overcome that now), and it’s easy to overshoot the needed power, especially in the heat of battle.

Yeah, the entrance and egress points are so much nope for me.

I don't think I have Claustophobia, but "Cleithrophobia".
I have no problem with small, enclosed places. Elevators, short or thin passages (like waterslides) hold no discomfort for me. Just the idea of being stuck somewhere though *shudders*. If I have room to move, I'm fine. That Ryan Reynolds movie Buried? I'm sorry, but I will never provide a critical review for you to read. Nope. Nope... Nope.

Pretty funny but that music was annoying. Reminded me of Just For Laughs (*shudder*)

I grew up in a house that always had 4-5 of those things hanging around in the basement (of an old wartime house). I hated those things as a kid and still strongly dislike them. Thankfully, I've only ever seen one in my own house in the 12 yrs I've lived here and that one lasted about two seconds.

I will admit they look pretty awesome when filmed like in this video - but they are creepy as f*ck and way too fast and twitchy for my liking. I think I looked around my desk about 6 or 7 times while watching this...*shudder*

Oh, and the real nightmare would be being forced to play doom with a controller..... /shudder

Right? I still remember tiptoeing through that attic... *shudder*

Ian Welsh reminds us of a quote by Mark Twain:

There were two ‘Reigns of Terror’, if we could but remember and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passions, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon a thousand persons, the other upon a hundred million; but our shudders are all for the horrors of the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and heartbreak? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief terror that we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror – that unspeakable bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

I'm thinking maybe he doesn't know what bragging mean? It seems like he thinks the term only applies if he is lying (or doesn't believe what he is saying to be true.)

Imagine working or living with this man. *shudder*

Cool. Coming out of a baptist family I get it, even if i was never that extreme -- westboro... i knew some families sort of like them though... home schooled on the belief that the Bible is the ultimate framework for governing. Not too far off from the us versus them. Same family that taught an anti-evolution class for our youth group. *shudder*

I became an indignant atheist not long after leaving religion. Now, I embrace Took me many a long night hating on religious people.

Until I had a long conversation with a friend who was a microbiologist, observing evolution on a daily basis, and maintaining a healthy Christian perspective. (Well, at the time it was... now he is sort of Phelping me. It's really hard for me still, to accept religious people, even when almost everyone I know is -- many of whom will always judge me for who I am.)

I mostly enjoy the diversity among my Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist, and Hindu brothers and sisters. They just need to respect my beliefs and recognize that I am not recruiting them and they are not recruiting me. Atheists are the worst at this.

As long as there is seperation of church and state. That is an important concept in maintaining a diverse nation open to dialog like she suggests.

Also, opening dialog with people only works if they reply back hahaha -- most of the angry internet people i know post across a wide array of websites and don't really return for replies that often.

Gosh, that's a very good fake then. I can't see anything wrong with the motion, they got that right on. The way everything shudders when it steps, the pane of glass beating like a drum skin, the tethers lolling back and forth, a little bit of slip before the foot plants, the guy in back pulling the "tail" on reverse. Not saying it's impossible to fake, but that is some insanely technical animation.

*promote The Emperor has no clothes [just try to get THAT image out of your mind ... shudder!] *lies

No, you make one fatal error. You are comparing Clinton supporters with Bernie supporters. That is incredibly incorrect and it makes me shudder. You should compare Clinton to Trump supporters---ie., the entire republican party has sided with him, minus a few who will vote third party. Clinton supporters are exactly like that. Bandwagon, that's me! Not to degrade them but put a D in their mouths and they are happy.

On the other hand, Bernie supporters have more integrity and are tired of the funnel-effect of the lesser of two evils bullshit whereby more evil comes to our voting booths.

So yeah, maybe 1% of Clinton supporters will be mad and vote elsewhere (Like Jill) but what, 25% of Sanders will? Yeah...not quite the same.

This sounds very familiar both by name and action. I'm sure I had it or something very similar once, but I had Windows (whatever version) on CD. In the end, I think I just reinstalled windows from CD (which at the time couldn't be written to even if I'd wanted) which overwrote the old infected MBR.

Having it on CD doesn't even given me a decent time frame on the version or virus, because my dad was either building computers or modding and playing with them since Acorn. I used to put annoying 7+ disk stuff like the Indiana Jones and Monkey Island games onto CD as backup, so it's reasonable to think we might have done it with Windows.

Maybe that was many years later and a different virus, but when I read "form.a" I shuddered involuntarily.

I genuinely wish this video did made me disagree with Stephen. I want to get it. I really do, but I don't. In fact, I think she's kind of making his point - or at least a portion of it.

I actually like dancing though. I like it because I like getting stupid and have no interest in pretending it's anything more than that. I don't get interpretive dance and I don't get this as a response to Stephen's feelings on the subject and I'm sure this would not "make the man shudder."
