  1. Just saw this on a Dune FB group (yeah I'm a nerd), it clips all the book lines talking about the Missionaria Protectiva and their practice of seeding prophecies all over. Makes it very clear that this was just one prophecy out of a catalog and the fact that Paul happened to land in a place seeded for Him (Kwizatz Haderach Him) was a hugely fortuitous coincidence.
  2. Wrong thread. The having to wake up and go to airport at 5am making you Surly thread is that way ------>
  3. Multiple visits multiple BOA branches. You go in and there's a "greeter" at a terminal. They ask wtf you're there for, you tell them, and they 80% of the time tell you it can be done at the ATM and would you like them to show you (deposits and withdrawals are most of these)? Or it can be done on the web site. If it needs an appointment they ask if you made one online, and when you say no they graciously check the schedule and help you schedule something on their terminal, usually hours away if you're lucky, in a few days if less lucky. It isn't the teller telling anyone to get out of line. The greeter fucking actively deters you from being able to get in to the teller line.
  4. My bank branch actively steers everyone toward using the ATM services (or worse, to the app or website), it's like you have to pass their Gandalf "you shall not pass" to be allowed into the teller line. No you fuckers, it's like self checkout, sometimes I'm going to have you guys do the work.
  5. Hell no. Toto in every bathroom.
  6. I ran an extension cord from outside the bathroom to plug in the bidet until I could get an outlet run. Looked terrible but no way was I going to suffer while waiting.
  7. No. None directly anyway. They're so big I indirectly own huge amounts of them just due to ETF fund distributions. So, being already overweight I definitely won't increase holdings in them by owning directly.
  8. Laetitia was "lay-titty-ah" Pigeon was "pie-gone"
  9. My mom and family friends (no pics of any of them) absolutely love river cruises and only do those now. For them, it's better then taking a normal tour because no flying or bus time (and no security or luggage bullshit with flying), and the overnight hotel time is the boat sailing between destinations, plus you keep the same room the entire trip so you don't need to pack and 'move hotels.' So, more relaxed, and better use of total time. Plus the transit times have lots of boat activities (and food), vs being stuck in a bus or plane.
  10. You mean the best part. You tell the fraud dept no you weren't at the car wash and Bam! Free wash!
  11. Brake harder, probably from higher speed. Electrics can only regen brake up to a limit, and then the mechanical brake takes the load. So if you're always braking lightly, your mechanical brakes are hardly being wiped at all. But if your inner and outer face look different, it's a caliper not compressing evenly and may be the real reason they failed you.
  12. You have dress and athletic boxers?
  13. Why is the bear hogging the chair?
  14. Good rule for anyone using any temp probe, check the accuracy in boiling water every few months.
  15. Uh, you do know which thread this is, right?
  16. Yes, the written language is a Chinese which is also split into Traditional and Simplified (where some of the most complex kanji letters are...made simpler). The spoken dialects are Mandarin, Cantonese, and literally hundreds of others.
