“The first version of ‘Anchorman’ is basically the movie ‘Alive,’ where the year is 1976, and we are flying to Philadelphia, and all the newsmen from around the country are flying in to have some big convention,” Ferrell said. “[My character] Ron convinces the pilot that he knows how to fly the charter jet, and he immediately crash-lands it in the mountains. And it’s just the story of them surviving and trying to get off the mountainside. They clipped a cargo plane, and the cargo plane crashed as well, close to them, and it was carrying only boxes of orangutans and Chinese throwing stars. So throughout the movie we’re being stalked by orangutans who are killing, one by one, the team off with throwing stars. And Veronica Corningstone keeps saying things like, ‘Guys, I know if we just head down we’ll hit civilization.’ And we keep telling her, ‘Wrong.’ She doesn’t know what we’re talking about. So that was the first version of the movie.”

This sounds hilarious. I know the cast of Anchorman could have made this one work.

The worst. Two lane roads always seem to end up as 5 under or 10 over. I just want to put my cruise control on!

Banana milk! 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp maple syrup, a few drops of vanilla extract, blend and pour through a sieve over ice. So refreshing and very cheap.

Wanted to chime in since I don’t see anyone here with the opposite opinion. When I did my degree I was always very grateful for the lecturers who would go slower and allow time for you to finish writing notes and really let the material sink in. I think the professor stopping is, at least some of the time, for your own benefit and not theirs, allowing you time to write detailed enough notes. I couldn’t have taken enough notes for an hour class in 20 minutes and also have been able to understand what I was writing.

I can absolutely see how removing street parking increases visibility and decreases accidents. Too many times I have to pull out into a road almost blind because my line of sight to traffic is blocked by an enormous SUV / pickup until I am partly in the intersection.

I used to use mine to control a smart bulb in every room I had an Echo, but the experience has become so dire to the point that I now only use it for the one room where the light switch is in an awkward place to where I enter, and even then I find myself getting extremely frustrated with it. I would rather check the weather on my phone or control my AC through physical buttons than try to instruct something that seems to get worse at understanding me the more I use it.

The idea of paying for any Alexa service is baffling to me. I can barely trust it to flip a switch without mishearing me, trying to sell me something, or dropping a “by the way…”
