The past tense of “shut” is “shat”

As long as it doesn’t emit toxic gases, I’m all for it. So many old kitchen appliances are borderline unbreakable

For all their issues, at least the Prequels tried to do something new and bring a completely new style and story to SW.

The Sequels just feel like someone wanted to rewrite the OT because they thought they had better ideas.

In the US, companies gradually increase prices from around August to right before Black Friday, when they cut prices to the same price it was before or higher.

Yeah that’s the one. Thanks for linking it!

Actually saw videos of a british tourist who got stuck in Nepal during the uprising that did exactly that. Was just filming his traveling experiences when he found himself accidentally making a documentary lol

A few months ago while shopping, I overheard an elderly gentleman being told by a sales rep that AI is utilized for some feature in the man’s new set of hearing aids. The old man looked so confused, like that one John Cena meme. I felt so bad for the guy

Ne, der Befehl ist dass der Ring großer sein muss

When HAL is dying and trying to convince Bowman to stay alive, damn. We’re expected to hate HAL but the book really detailed how it really was just a hyper-intelligent machine following its original directives without bias.

Seriously? You realize the youngest millenials just turned 30, right? When do you think menopause hits?
