It’s weird to me that y’all don’t appreciate the convenience of advancing technology.
It’s like going “only mentally disabled folks use microwaves, the rest of us light the wood stove and let it simmer for a half hour”
Especially when Europe is known for its electric kettles, which are only recently becoming common in the US, who have traditionally used range-heated kettles.
Shit… are you also all still on Nokia 3310s and connecting to the internet with SLIP/PPP too?
At some point in time it was argued that manual allowed finer control of engine efficiency to automatic which simply shifted at certain speeds or rpms that weren’t always ideal. So properly driving a manual meant you saved gas.
I dare say in the decades since that argument began, automatic transmissions have gotten way better and reasonably as efficient as the average manual driver.
Also, when manuals were more generally common, they were generally cheaper than automatics. I don’t know if that’s true anymore, but I think the average person will have a hard time finding a manual new (consumer grade) vehicle in any given dealership in the US these days – you’d have to get it ordered.
I will say when I rented a car in Wales in the mid 2010s they had like literally 2 automatics and they were double the rate. It wasn’t at all common there then.
I am VERY disappointed in you MELVIN
But I’m more a fan of the Lou Diamond Phillips scenes honestly
pretty sure that use of the term originated with that exact movie scene.
There’s also a point where the gimp tries to speak and it’s pretty clear he has at least a speech impediment if not a mental disability.
“Bring cycles, guns and Huel” just doesn’t have the same ring to it
Now imagine that… but all over
Wait, people think it is?
How do… YOU do?
It’s one of my most favorite movies to quote. And of course no one ever gets the references, which is even better somehow.
My cat is named Courtney and I’m fond of telling her “Stop it, Courtney, you’re embarrassing your country!”
I know Richard E Grant fucking hates that movie but I don’t care, he is iconic in it.
It’s like… if you’re nice to them… they bring you things?
I can’t like that movie because it was so insulting for the culture at the time. Tacky and stupid. No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.
Well duh.
If I were the Supreme Being, I would have started with LASERS! Eight o’clock, DAY ONE!
David Warner is good in literally anything though.
Bob Saget was a very dirty comedian outside of his Full House and Home Videos image. It’s a real Betty White situation.
Jackass: Bad Grandpa is better than it deserves to be. They should actually do more like that.
People don’t like this? Come on, a classic
Like many such movies, it’s damn awesome if you don’t take it seriously. Fuckin hilarious movie.
When YOU were still learning to SPELL YOUR NAME…
Hudson Hawk. Criminally underrated.
Regen has been on trains for a long time, fwiw.
