Yep, The Thing (1982) immediately comes to mind. One of the best.

I think it's more of a spend less on marketing and try and piggyback on the other movie's hype.

I think part of the difference in philosophy here is related to different definitions of what is real. Aphelion seems to be of the mind that unless it can be proven to be real than it is not. Essentially that uncertainty denies reality. However, I am more of the mind that something does not need to be provable to be real in order to be real. We can use logic to demonstrate that many things that cannot be provable to be real are likely in fact real. We cannot observe any galaxies or matter beyond our observable universe. However, we know that our observable universe is growing larger each second as more light or other things that we can detect reaches us. At some point to mankind we were not able to detect the things that we can now detect. It seems logical to me that there is likely more out there that we cannot observe yet, and it doesn't spring into reality suddenly when we are able to detect it.

And one of the big differences between Baptist Churches and the Catholic Church is that for most Baptist Churches the highest level of institution is the local church itself. They do not have to answer to any higher authority (on Earth at least), so there is no other organisational structure to cover it up. If one Baptist Church covers up sexual abuse, the Baptist Church down the road is about as related to them as the Catholic Church is from an institutional level.

Yeah, I think you could say that the universe cannot be proven to exist without perception, but to follow the idea that it requires perception to exist means that nothing we cannot have the means perceive exists. What about things that we can prove we don't have the means to perceive, like stuff outside the observable universe? Can we say then, assuming we are correct about not having the means to perceive it that it does not exist?

I mean, men do kill more of their pregnant wives than women do.

Had a misfiring on my F150 a few years ago. Replaced the plug and coil over that cylinder and had the same issue. Had the battery tested and it was bad. New battery and the misfire went away.

So put a spear on the front of your bike in bear country?

Yeah, just free climbing the dawn wall was considered impossible until Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson did it, which is what the documentary is about. This was probably one of the biggest things in the sport of climbing to happen in the last decade.

A good primer on climbing in Yosemite is Valley Uprising. Looks like it is available on Netflix now. Very cool doc and worth the time if you are interested at all in rock climbing.

In January 2015 the world watched, spellbound, as Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson spent 19 days clawing their way towards the top of a seemingly impossible climb on the 3,000 foot vertical face of El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. THE DAWN WALL is a feature documentary about their history-making climb, the years of effort it required, and the inspiring life journeys of the climbers. The movie goes beyond pure climbing action, paints intimate portraits of Caldwell and Jorgeson, and celebrates the universal spirit of dreaming big, and never giving up.

Addemdum, we obviously have no cougars (of the feline variety) in DFW. However, coyotes are seemingly everywhere and bobcats kind of, at least by sighting (I think the bobcats hide better, which also entails retreating to the woods). It seems that the coyotes continue to prey in urban/suburban territories pretty continuously after being sighted, while the bobcats will retreat to whatever woodsy territory they came from. That is, the cats kind of disappear.
I bet there are a handful outside the city or maybe even the outskirts. I saw one in East Texas several years back stalking a doe.

Well when you think that everybody else is as irresponsible as you are it's easy to favor making rules to fix that.

They also usually have a button you can push that stops them.

I think the things get easier is usually directed at those who's kid's age is measured in weeks, not months.

Then there's also Vesna Vulović:
Vesna Vulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Вуловић; pronounced [ˈʋeːsna ˈʋuːlɔʋit͡ɕ]; 3 January 1950 – 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant. She holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). Her fall took place after an explosion tore through the baggage compartment of JAT Flight 367 on 26 January 1972, causing it to crash near Srbská Kamenice, Czechoslovakia. She was the sole survivor of the crash that air safety investigators attributed to a briefcase bomb. The Yugoslav authorities suspected that Croatian nationalists were to blame, but no one was ever arrested.

Yeah, there's another one out there of a guy who jumps out of a helicopter with a wingsuit and lands in a pile of cardboard boxes. All pretty crazy.

The level of stupid I saw, and is clearly evident on videos around the webtubeface, last time I was in Yellow Stone gives me pause too.
People feeding fucking bears. (Did not witness it but many videos) People getting within a few yards for selfies of male buffalo that appeared to be prepping for rut. (First hand exp) Shit like that is way too prevalent.
Seems like the bears would care more about boning each other than eating in that scenario.

Every spring all of the southern forestry schools get together at one of the schools and compete in lumberjack games like axe throwing, crosscut saw, pole felling, and log birling.

I feel like if you have to be proud of your schools general academic reputation than you didn't try and go to the best place for what you majored in. Lots of "sub par" schools are the best in particular fields, while lots of "great" schools are only above average in all fields. Unless you are looking to get a degree in general studies, why be proud of that?

Wait, so Elon went and started a relationship with Amber Heard after the whole fiasco with Johnny Depp? Undefeated.

Sounds like you need some subsonic .22s, a suppressor, and a night vision scope.
