You think Donald Trump cries at those movies except the last one?

What are those movies? I recognize Titanic; struggling with the rest.

Crap that real men shouldn't watch.

Thanks to the snow, the ice underneath the snow, keeping my head down to try to match my footfalls to preexisting footprints, and the top third of my field of vision obscured by my cap, I just ran directly into an electric company call box--or, anyway, whatever the fuck those metal boxes are that stick out from lightposts.  Minimal upward grade, so I was probably traveling a little less than nine miles an hour.  Welt the size of a salami stacked five or six slices high on my forehead now.  Turned me horizontal and I must've clipped my shoulder on it too.

Bet it looked really hilarious, though.  I need a new pair of icy weather shoes.

You got away with it, but you should have seen a doctor. Head injuries like that can cause bleeding under the skull that will kill you.

You're not really wrong in principle, but I don't think I hit it that hard.

9 miles per hour is more than hard enough.

Tim, not only are your statements incredibly wrong on an epic scale, you are now arguing with Ide about an injury that:
a) he has direct first hand knowledge of, while you were half a world away,
b) time has proven wasn't serious,
c) involves running and an active lifestyle.

If people went to the ER everytime they got a welt on their head, we would have more poverty, more doctors driving 7 series BMWs rather than 5 series, longer waits at the ER, and not much improvement in patient outcomes.

Ide, if you are running 9mph for significant distances, that is freaking awesome.

I just watched it on Amazon Prime.  Also I posted this in the wrong thread.

So I want to buy a hybrid laptop.
Stupid to do so before xmas right ?

Do they do Boxing Day sales in Switzerland?  Might make sense to wait a week or so.

I'm in the uk.
Boxing day sales are a thing but I'm not sure to what extent they apply to decent laprops.

Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging...

I like the way Elon Musk thinks, but will tunnels actually help traffic?

[celedhring]

Tunneling below a city is a nightmare for the subway, with all the sewage, utilities, building foundations, etc... Building high capacity thoroughfares below urban grid is going to be even harder and expensive, plus not that useful imho.

Also, CHUDs.

Germany's 'Rent a Jew' Project Aims to Fight Anti-Semitism

MAINZ, Germany — Do you wish you knew a Jew? If so, you can now rent one.

That is the attention-grabbing idea behind a project that aims to promote cultural understanding and dialogue by offering face-to-face encounters with Jews living in Germany.

"We wanted to loosen things up a bit and remove reservations right from the start," said 32-year old Alexander Rasumny, one of the initiative's organizers.

[Ed Anger]

Sounds like a trap.
