Do any of these goons, or the puke guy(s), the forlorn goon looking at the lady in the basement, that neckbeard with the pipe, etc. in short, do any of those people still post here at all? I sometimes get the impression that people who were quite active here between 2000 and 2007 sort of disappeared. The most 'famous' goon.jpgs are all from that era, and technology back then didn't do them any favors either because while digital cameras were already a thing, most of them were poo poo and the average person was still very bad at making good photographs.

Doubtful. They're pretty good dudes, and also all drat near 60 years old. Not exactly the type of person who still tries to be "edgy"

I'll cede this point.

I guess I don't consider them "edgy" because that word has such a poo poo implication. I hear it and immediately think of lovely teens who do insane poo poo just to do it with no thought behind their actions. Rammstein is like, the "chaotic good" of edgy.

Rammstein's new album Liebe ist für alle da was released earlier this month, but a press release has gone out informing us that the band will soon be releasing a special edition of the record. It comes in a metal case and includes five B-sides, as well as six dildos, each of which correspond to a member of the band. Just to ensure these dildos are put to good use, the box set also includes a bottle of lube and industrial-strength handcuffs.

I've often wondered if there's any use for pasta water, but I haven't been able to come up with anything. Use it to make soup or rice?

quote:

Here are six ways it can benefit your home.

1. Watering your plants and flowers
Water which pasta has been cooked in is full of starch, which is often rich in minerals and vitamins.
That content makes it helpful for growing plants and flowers, so use it to water the garden.

2. Making your own pesto sauce
Most people can’t dive into a bowl of pasta without a spoonful of pesto.
The remaining pasta water can help you make it — ensure it’s kept warm and it’ll act as a bonding agent.

3. Making homemade pizza dough and bread
As the water retains some of the flavours and starch from the pasta, it’ll give your homemade pizza dough, or bread, a new and unique taste.
Similarly, use it to make broths or soups and you’ll get an extra flavour punch. It’s good for boiling vegetables in too.

4. Washing your dirty dishes
You might think using pasta water to wash dishes would leave them filmy, but the starch actually dissolves grime and acts as a natural cleaning agent.
All you need to do is leave dishes soaking in it for a bit first.

5. Soaking your sore feet
If you have sore feet at the end of a long hard day then this novel treatment might just be the one for you.
All you have to do is warm up your spaghetti water to a comfortable temperature and pop your feet in.
The heat combined with the minerals will soothe aches and pains.

6. As a replacement for shampoo
If your hair lacks shine or looks flat then soaking it in the water for 10 minutes could help.
After that shampoo as normal and you’ll be amazed at the gleam you get.
This isn’t the only cooking tip to sweep the web in recent months.

1) Why do photos from the 80s/90s look like they're from 100 years ago

2) I distinctly remember new photos (and video on TV, etc) from that era looking sharp and crisp and colorful, and photos like the above were "from the 50s"'

3) It's not because the photos themselves are aging, because I have scans of college photos that I made at the time that now look super old and crappy

I read a description a journalist wrote about seeing Johnson speaking at some big dinner, how he got up to the podium all befuddled, couldn't find his notes and ended up having to speak off the cuff, but it was very entertaining. Then the same guy saw him at another thing weeks later and johnson gave exactly the same 'off the cuff' performance.

Boris is doing an act to an extent but he's genuinely a loving idiot - I've dealt with him a little over 20 years ago, before he was so famous, and in a business related call he was still an idiot. "Boris is secretly a genuis" is just a scam by the media to hide the way they're not criticising him, ever.

Ted and Black Books are amazing and the IT Crowd has some good bits, but glinner's contribution to them is severely overstated: he's good at creating a part that fits a specific comedian, but most of the really memorable stuff from Father Ted and Black Books comes from said comedians ad-libbing and growing into the characters themselves.

quote:

Mathews has contributed to many sketch shows, including Harry Enfield and Chums, The All New Alexei Sayle Show and the Ted & Ralph segments of The Fast Show. However, it was with Father Ted (three series, 1995–1998) that he and Graham Linehan made their biggest impression. It debuted on Channel 4.[1][2][3] The writing partnership had previously co-written the comedy Paris[4] (one series, 1994), also for Channel 4. Both Linehan and Mathews worked on the first series of sketch show Big Train, but Linehan dropped out for the second series. Mathews has also contributed to other British comedies such as Brass Eye, Jam, Black Books and later Toast of London. H

The term "jaffle maker" is also used in Australia and Indonesia

Okay, I'm going to ask a question about this that I've always wondered about. We're going to have a short, civil discussion about it, and then move on. If the discussion becomes heated or lasts for too long I swear to god I will carpet-bomb this thread with probations like it's going out of style.

Isn't the answer to this really that it doesn't matter if the airplane is on a treadmill or not, as long as the airplane can get enough speed that air passing over the wing generates lift? Because my admittedly limited understanding is that that's what makes airplanes go up. My confusion about this mental exercise was that I always imagined "plane on a treadmill" as meaning that the plane did not actually move forward; the wheels just kept spinning on the treadmill. No forward momentum = no air passing over the wings = no lift.
