Here's the full scene from the cartoon. You can also find live performances, but I like this one the best.

Also, cartoons used to be pretty damn trippy.

That might just be the most annoying music I've ever heard, even more than the "no no no" song.

Is there some kind of contest I don't know about? Like who can find the most annoying song to put on their video?

Around this time of hear I often hear all the patriotic language "remember how united we were after that day".

And I'm a little disgusted because I don't remember that at all.

I remember racism turned up to 11, and against an ethnic group few had even thought about very much before. I remember bloodlust, not just against the people directly responsible (I'll agree, justified) but against all muslims, all of the middle east, all of them living in the US. Wipe them out, all of them, genocide. I remember the entire culture I grew up in disappeared, something like space camp used to be the holy grail of summer destinations, now it was junior ROTC. All the music and movies that used to be about adventure and fun were dominated by media about war.

And I remember kids I grew up with who went over there, and they didn't come back.

No, that time of coming together as one nation, that's a work of fiction told by revisionist history.

Love these videos that cut before you can see what happens. Seems like there was probably more, but they cut it because that's funny for some reason.

This is a topic among dedicated voice actors too, they're often locked out of the biggest roles in their own business in favor of somebody who isn't a professional in that field.

An anecdote that I use sometimes when it comes to smartphones and other touchscreen devices is this - I've watched videos of actual monkeys and apes using them.

Seriously, chimpanzees and some of those south-american monkeys can at least use the basic functions of a smartphone that don't require literacy. They're that easy to understand and operate.

While driving on roads built by the government, enjoying a water and power grid funded by the government, eating food made safe by government regulation, benefitting from government programs like social security, and buying from industries subsidized by the government.

She was quoting a UN report on climate change which indicates that in 12 years the effects of global warming will become irreversible and global temperatures will continue to rise even with significant reduction of carbon emissions.

That's the republican mindset, isn't it?

Everybody, everywhere, should represent me.

Even in Queens, even in New Orleans, in Los Angeles, heck even in other countries - in places where there are people who are different from me, basically everything from culture to government should be made for me.

Ehh depends on how much work you want to do. Ideally you don't want the perimeter wire cut as that's a likely point of failure later on - I have two and it's been fine for a year but if it stops working at some point I won't be overly surprised.

The real pro move (which I also didn't do) is to wrap the wire around the stake once so you have a little bit of extra wire in case something gets separated, that way you'll have an inch to make a repair if needed.

The other thing I've heard about is using a higher grade of wire than what comes with the device. People say it works a little better and is less prone to false "outside of boundary" errors.

Anyway - yes this is an option. If it doesn't work well, you can always put it back.

I've heard you can get the same exact connectors for much cheaper than what they go for on the Worx website too.

Playing a little bit of Monday morning quarterback here, but I should hope that Gore wouldn't have drawn anything out beyond what was necessary.

Yes, immediately after 9/11 everybody wanted the responsible party dead, and I hope Gore would've delivered that same as Bush did. Sometimes I worry his response would've been too weak, but it's hard to say, I doubt any facet of the military would've let that happen without considerable response.

Hot take there - impeached for what?

Going over there and dismantling everything that made 9/11 happen: yes, absolutely necessary, and was successful within mere days. A long term operation of any kind, not so much.

There are parts of the movies I actually think are better than the books. Oh it messes up a few things which have already been mentioned by other comments, but the good outweighs the bad ten times over.

People spend all their time talking about Faramir being a little jank and Theoden's motives being poorly explained and forget that Minas Tirith wasn't that majestic in the books, nor was Rivendell, the return of Gandalf the White was weird and awkward, and the hobbits journey on Mount Doom was surprisingly boring.

Opinions, of course, but that's the difference in impressions I got from the books vs the movies.

That's something I think about once in a while, and especially today - the people responsible for 9/11 set out to cripple America, and they were fantastically successful.

Drew us into war with a region that has bankrupted plenty of nations before us, changed our entire culture, changed our systems of government, and damaged our standing in international affairs. Young people who became adults in the 2000s don't remember that the period of peace that came after Desert Storm was a prosperous time in America and the 2000s seemed set to be more of the same.

Seriously, little about American culture from that time still remains today, that incident changed the country into what it is now. They did that to us, and the rest we did to ourselves.

"They shafted my President," Bland said. He thought the vaccine was delayed intentionally to hurt Trump [...] "I'm so bullheaded. You shafted me out of my President. I ain't taking your medicine," he said

This county has become terminally dumb.

Sometimes I look at people and wonder how they even got that dumb. They couldn't be born that dumb could they? Pretty sure you start with more intelligence than some adults.

I've read that before and it changed my perspective of what domesticated means. Always thought it meant functionally dependent on humans, but it's really genetics.

Friend of mine works for a gas company, has the same problem.

"Who gave yew permission to come in mah properteh" You did, dumbass.

Okay, maybe I should consider editing the number of vehicles for both trams and busses in my current city.

Because it seems like half the time, public transit just adds more traffic. Maybe I have too many vehicles on the route and they're backing up.

I've heard a lot of "I voted x because I thought it was funny" from both the US and the UK.

Something I've learned working with military folks is that sometimes leadership means taking the blame for the faults of the people under you and the faults of your predecessors.

You can't pass the buck when you're in charge, that's not what a leader does. Even if it wasn't your fault, you have to take responsibility.

Any tips on best practices for each type?

Yes, it finds the base by following the wire.

Not sure how, but it knows the direction and follows counter-clockwise. So when the battery hits 9% it finds the wire and travels on it until it hits the base. When it's not on the wire, it's essentially blind.

So keep that in mind while installing. Set the base, then start running wire so that the device will run counter-clockwise while following it. Charging pads and mowing blades facing the outside of the perimeter.

My government workplace is in the process of sending people back without testing or proof of vaccination, for this very reason. It's not sustainable, not forever.

Couple of weeks ago there was a huge in-person meeting, followed by a huge covid outbreak. Now there's staffing shortages due to having too many out sick. Nevertheless, back to office is still on an accelerated timeline despite the risks.

Because this is a good place to grind my axe - I also hate this trend of cutting videos early. Like soon as it starts to get interesting, that's when it cuts.

Recently even noticed old reposts that have been cut this way, used to be two seconds longer, but now they're cut to remove the funny part. It's annoying, I want to see the whole thing but it's cut just so you don't see the part that makes me laugh, they're like a joke where you only say the first word of the punchline.

It could be that he can't do anything about it. For reasons yet to be explained, this is something he actually can't fix and a primary motivating factor for basically everything.

In the flashbacks we see him going all over the multiverse trying to hunt down the one who did it (perhaps that's a future story arc?) and in the end he couldn't find him because the universe is infinite. So to cope with this, he built a system where he could live something resembling a normal life while still getting to explore a finite number of universes.

The killer may be smarter than him, and the solution might not be impossible but beyond his capability. That's the point of the central finite curve, to exclude circumstances beyond his ability to control, and one of those is saving Diane.

That's my thinking right now - for some reason he can't do this and doesn't want to admit it.
