Independence Day (1996)

They just walked in to the underground lab beneath Area 51. The president was curious how it was paid for.

They use this mixture at my work as well. Flushing out large sub freezing cooling systems. We don’t dump it out on the street though.

I hadn’t thought of a boat barricade like that. It would definitely be effective in the short term. Unfortunately, in the US at least, the coast guard would end it real quick for national security reasons. That would certainly make international news though.

I would say protesting at a port would be less likely to garner international attention, and probably would be easier to shutdown quickly and relatively quietly.

Shutting down an airport is much more public, therefore probably safer in the long run. Also more likely to be reported on because it affects the public in a more direct way. Yes, it inconveniences some people, but it gets the message out.

Either way, I doubt it will do much to change anything soon enough.

I always heard “ice on my fingers, and my toes, and on my toys”

I think that it is more about creating a routine for this particular person than the dog being neglected. Having the dog water on the list normalizes everything else. There was no instruction to clean up dog pee everywhere either.

My first time shutting down a factory at the end of second shift for the weekend. I shut down the compressors first, and that hard stopped a bunch of other equipment that relied on the air pressure. Lessons learned. I spent another hour restarting then properly shutting down everything. Never did that again.

Personally, it’s amusing at best. In the same way as the girl in Jurassic Park using “Unix” to hack the system.

That being said, I still give mad props for the development that occurred during that era.

The joke is that a couple of drunk guys enduring an eternal winter came up with something better than silicon valley could.

National Geographic. Mutual of Omaha. Reading Rainbow. Magic School Bus. Bill Nye the Science Guy. Ghostwriter. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood

I grew up on PBS and books. Couldn’t tell you if it was good or bad, but that TV had a lot of of impact on me.

Watching TNG with my mom is one of the few good memories I have with her. Somehow she managed to go full blown religious nut, while I took those early messages of curiosity and compassion to heart.

Happy birthday, friend. Let’s continue to work on making the world, humanity, better together!

It’s a fantasy movie.

That’s like saying Neverending Story is not realistic.

You are definitely right. That was kind of my point.

It’s sad that her immediate response was to feel the need to remain “professional”, instead of slapping the douchebag.

Hopefully more hosts, producers, and maybe eventually the public can start making this behavior not ok

I’m glad the host didn’t let her continue after seeing what happened and called that shit out. Small glimpses of hope in humanity

Why do you think the dog was complicit with the distraction tactic

The TI83 Plus was my gateway drug. Learning BASIC and the fundamentals behind connecting it to my computer. Emulating software to test code on different models. It was fascinating and engaging. The fun and learning involved with doing anything and everything you can with the technology that’s available to you is something that I think is lost for a depressing majority of youth now.
