Thank you for sharing that! Great to see with numbers, but also quite depressing.

Of course, just surprised they actually exist.

Then again, I guess it shouldn’t be a total surprise since people are trying to raise capital and invest.

I thought Rosetta was successful, somewhat?

Thanks for the link, I had no idea companies already existed for this.

Have you checked the Internet Archive? I’ve found soooo much obscure media there but you have to play around with the filters a bit.

Thanks for the corrections! This is good to know.

The US is currently giving away free test kits to all Americans, shipping is also free so this will only cost you your time.

They allow 4 per household and the tests do expire, but I feel everyone should get these to have on hand just in case they believe they have symptoms.

That’s pretty awesome! That had some options like that for sale.

This specific listing says that this is at no additional cost to the buyer. They give you 250 miles or 2 days to rethink the deal that was made and it extends to everyone. Not as good as yours but still good since the law doesn’t require it here.

Surprised to see there were some archived versions from a few months ago for this but the site seemed to have been broken by archiving though I was able to copy and paste it out and see more but still nothing.

Thanks for the suggestion!

For real lol. And that last bit on their comment is pure irony. I don’t understand why anyone upvoted that because that is the exact kind of comment meant for downvoting.

Some of these are remakes because this genre goes back to the early days of movies. Thinking of movies like that one from Bruce Willis called Death Wish which is one of those Charles Bronson movies which is practically all that guy was known for in the 20th century.

How else would you do a story like this and get the audience to applaud for the main character?

I always thought it was for mistletoe which has green leaves and red berries. But maybe that’s something that came after red and green were established as Christmas’ colors?

Same here. I had one of these bozos reach out to me and wouldn’t give me an exact price but said he bought a “similar” home nearby for $120k.

Nah…fuck off. I paid more than double of that for my house.

I really wish I could get my fucking phone number removed from wherever it is that these scumbags pull from because their “offers” are nowhere near reasonable and just a waste of everyone’s time.

This might be something to ask Amazon’s Rufus AI about. I’ve actually had success describing things like this and it finding what I’m looking for on Amazon.

You may also check Thingiverse or another 3D printing website for parts for “airsoft helmet GoPro” and if you can find it, like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799476 you can either search for similar terms on a site like Amazon or have this 3D printed by a friend or a shop or it might be your entry into 3D printing with your own printer to print this and other parts.

There’s a YouTube video on one time this happened and a woman was sucked out of the window partially and ended up passing away as a result. She was seated directly beside that window when this happened and others were trying to pull her in. The plane took an emergency action to land as soon as possible. She didn’t completely exit the window, but was partially out of the window.

Sorry I didn’t give you a story with a nicer ending, but just know that this is rare and doesn’t happen often. The odds of this happening are almost similar to winning the lottery. People are scared of flying, in general, but you’re generally safer in the air than in a car, statistically speaking for something to happen.

Video game designers do something similar to this in hiding “Easter eggs” in their games and the code that makes the game that often break the 4th wall or just bypass it.

Maybe it’s fun? See who can figure it out and come as close as they can to the truth without actually getting to the truth?

Kind of like Democrats’ change from 2016 to 2020? It was fair game to talk about how the 2016 may not have been fair due to Russia and then all talk gets banned if you question 2020?

You are correct. I’ve been watching a lot of true crime on YouTube lately and regardless whether someone is guilty or innocent, it seems it is ALWAYS in your best interest to get lawyered up and keep quiet if the cops are interrogating you.

I have mixed feelings about the guilty assholes, because it’s frustrating seeing someone give up their rights and be so open about their crimes but on the other hand, I’m glad they’re so dumb so they can be removed from society and punished.

But it is nothing but frustration seeing innocent people go through that out of genuine sincerity. “I have nothing to hide, so I’ll be open with the cops.” Fucking do not. No matter how low the statistic actually is, there is too much at stake to risk encountering someone who twists your words and uses it against you to frame you so they can close a case.

Lawyer up and shut up. Don’t talk to cops as much as you can help it. Especially don’t volunteer to have your name cleared.

Also their fault because a lot of them have had the Reply All button first before Reply. Outlook, at least, seems to be changing this in some ways.

But putting it first is guaranteeing users will just click the first “reply” and keep writing.

I just get users messaging me to ask “is this spam?” since there’s no one in the To: section or they weren’t in the CC or To section.

But I still do it to avoid this type of crap.
