@irish89055 Sorry, Charlie, but you just made my point. Grown-ups don't talk to each other that way. Grown-ups might say (if they *really* thought it was worth getting that riled-up about, which most of them wouldn't), "You know, I'm curious: Where did you go to film school?" Grown-ups would *not...

@paulfbest They weren't feral. (You spelled that wrong, by the way.) They were pets who had been taken to a "sanctuary" that turned out to be the home of a pathological cat-collector. They were living in squalor inside the guy's home and many of them developed serious problems as a result, and we...

It's not an inconsequential miracle

@DocDawning Shouldn't the network be "re-detected"? I am sitting in a known, password-free hotspot, and clicking "find available wireless networks," and not getting the one I should get.

@gonz930 Thanks for the compliment; I want to remake this one now that I know how to do these a little better; check out what I've done with *Revanche* or *I Stand Alone* to see the improvement. I too found the ending arrestingly dissonant -- but I'd come to expect that from Breillat and, accordi...

You might enjoy this: I found this video because I was looking for a tutorial on how to test a lightswitch, to see if it has a short in it.

Wow: I don't believe I've ever seen anything so racist in my entire life. And I've been to Alabama.

I'm sure there will come a day when I can watch this without getting choked up. But it isn't going to be today, apparently.

Wow: A room with two loudmouths in it who shamelessly and un-self-consciously admit they've never heard of Richard Thompson.

I guess what the XKCD guy says about YouTube comment fields, is true.

@MrThedudeman1 A tornado is a tightly-contained area of circulation due to wind sheer, in one small area of the gust front of a thunderstorm. A hurricane is a collection of whole storms which, while being fed with warm air over an ocean, begin to circulate as a result of the 'coriolis' effect, wh...

They've come a long way since I stayed there in the summer of 2003. Interestingly (perhaps), I was staying in the original building when demolition began for the first addition, the L-shaped wing that comes out toward the street -- opposite your room, I believe. Jun was very friendly and hospitab...

@kendigjl Four *bald* *heads*. ;-)

A truly impressive film -- as much for the elegant simplicity of the idea as for how well it is carried off. There's just one small quibble: According to the USGS, the subduction zone in question is between the Pacific plate and (believe it or not) the North America plate, on which the main islan...

With all due respect, this isn't Miyako. This is Kamaishi.

Have been searching in vain for similar tracks, ever since hearing this on Groove Salad about six weeks ago. Anybody have any suggestions? Most of the things people have offered as comparables are either too trancey or too un-mellow.

The only problem with all of this is that he'd have taken the door off the hinges in about three minutes flat. Tellin' me that guy doesn't have tools? Know how to use them? Come on.

It's a great song and Susanna Hoffs is nothing short of lovely, but I just can't get past the fact that they thought anyone was actually going to *do* this -- like the Macarena, presumably? Not a chance, ladies. Not even in the 80s.

"He is moving like a *tremendous machine*!"

Speaking as a fellow Dave O'Gorman, I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that, in my humble opinion, you are representing our common name quite nicely, sir.

I've fixed the problem with the sound only being in one channel, the aspect ratio, and the A/V synch. So my camcorder decided this was the perfect time to flip out inexplicably, vis-a-vis the autoexposure problems I'd solved before the previous review. Do I hear a vote for not giving up, at this ...
