You shall now call me Snowball; because my fur is pretty and white.

There's also a perfume called The Centre Of The Universe by Alkemia if you want to get something from an actual perfumery rather than a gimmick Kickstarter. I've got a sample of this one and it's very boozy in the opening with strong fruity and metallic notes.

Prepare Yourself For an Avalanche of Fake Meat

John Wick didn't even use blanks. It was all special effects. There's no reason to use blanks for movies anymore.
The SFX in John Wick were pretty bad, but these guys who exclusively do prop guns and gun effects showed that it could easily have been done much better without needing to use live guns on set

There's one reason (even if it's not a good one) to use real guns and blanks on set, and it's the fact that real guns are far cheaper than prop guns and SFX. I hope this lights a fire under the rear end of the entire entertainment industry and that changes. This can absolutely be forced, if crew won't work on a set where hot guns are pointed anywhere near people and you can't insure a production that allows hot guns on set, these changes will be made.

Prepare yourself for an avalanche of real poop. Cultured meat is meat, but plant-based alt protein is all peas and beans and soy. One half pound of compressed beans has a vastly different digestive response than one half pound of chicken. :nexus:

Iron-stomached man discovers savings benefits of eating meals at a Six Flags park

He particularly enjoyed a limited time “Thanksgiving Dog” (basically a Thanksgiving dinner centered around a turkey dog), which he ate regularly until the idea of it made him feel sick.

I'm too stupid to understand this. Does a $150 annual pass entitle you to two free meals any day you're in the park? Otherwise how do $15 turkey dogs and $25 chop salads save you money?

Yes. The pass gives parking, entry, and two meals, every day the park is open, and he worked five minutes from the park.

Okay so it's the annual pass then an addon, Two Meal Season dining is only $110 right now. :) Unclear if his $150 was lifetime or not.

I shall twiddle my thumbs for the update: Man found dead of dehydration and malnutrition at gate of Six Flags. The park verified he was a season pass holder who visited frequently and estimated he consumed $10k of food annually. Detectives suspect the individual became distraught at finding Six Flags closed for maintenance and didn't know they wouldn't reopen for a week.

ps https://www.sixflags.com/greatamerica/store/season-add-ons (until tomorrow when they add a restriction on total uses)

It sounds like he’s got a “Gold Plus Membership,” which is $94.20 pre-tax, and “Deluxe Member Dining,” which is $58.80 pre-tax, so that’s $143, add in 10% tax and you’re at $157.30.

Of course, everything on the site lists it as “as low as,” so who knows how many kidneys you have to provide Six Flags with to get that price, but it’s doable.

I think the things to remember are that Six Flags != Disney, their margins on food are insane, and the overwhelming majority of visitors aren’t trying to game the system, let alone pass holders.

I'm choosing to imagine that that couple installed a huge hole in their house for the sole purpose of keeping skeletons in it, and when the builders asked about the hole, they went, "ehh... oh, yeah... that's the... eh... elevator shaft... obviously. No need to finish it, though; we'll get around to it later :wink:"
