I had to pause it while I laughed for a minute straight at "Jack & Danny" and the ensuing confusion.
Love this episode!
Fun fact 2 bowls of water and a cup are also orchestral precession instruments
I think the ratchet also counts (used in the doll song)
Even in the films "Q" isn't Q's name (which Sandi specifically asked for). His name is Major Boothroyd. His code name is Q, like James Bond's code number is 007.
The little Italian women might burrow into the queue, but the little Belge women just walk up to the front of the queue and then the salesperson will ignore the person they are in the middle of serving to take care of her. Everyone in the line, including the person that they were in the middle of serving, will just take this as a normal. It’s bizarre!
11:30 - we used to call this method of typing the Columbus Method: "discover, and land".
23:54 -- There is an explanation for why Mr. Hyde is bigger than Dr. Jekyll in the comic League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the movie of the same name: Hyde explains that he indulged himself at every turn, while Jekyll constantly repressed himself. Thus it was inevitable that he should increase in size and importance in their joint existence while Jekyll continually dwindled.
Years ago I read an interview of one of Chicago's last remaining typewriter repair men . He stated that he could only peck letters into a typewriter and that every single one of the other people in his line of work also pecked the letters in . He had no explanation for this .
It was a challenge to hit only one key at a time on mechanical typewriters. You didn't just tap the keys. You pressed them down into the machine, and your fingers had to go straight in or you'd catch the adjacent keys. I found it nearly impossible to type on the old machines any other way than with the two-finger peck. It was the only way I could be precise and not be constantly jamming the thing. Electric typewriters changed all that. (My mom disagreed strongly with what I just said. She was a very fast typist, but she didn't have the huge fingers I have. She typed 100+ wpm on an electric, which might be faster than I can think of things to say. I was always fascinated listening to her typing.)
Besides, as a repair technician, he didn't need secretarial skills. He needed mechanical skills.
As someone who struggles with the duvet cover (a mere male) I wish they'd shown fully how Lou did it so quickly. I always wondered too why they don't put the buttons/zip on the side. That would make things much easier.
It helps to start with the duvet cover inside-out, especially if there are domes or other contrivances to hold the frame of the cover in place with the duvet’s corners and sides. Even without those though, starting inside out and holding the corners of the cover with the corners of the duvet pinched in between, you can then sort of flip the whole thing into the cover and close it with the buttons etc.
@@Edie45 thats how I do it!
I am in the USA and I still don't understand this whole duvet thing. I don't get why you don't just use a comforter. I don't think I've ever encountered a duvet in real life...
@@williamnavarre8169 Then you should try one. Comforters are just heavy eiderdowns really, usually with blankets beneath them.. Duvets are light and warm. The difference really is amazing.
@@Edie45 I changed my cover today and did what you said. It really worked and in only a few minutes. Thanks so much.
I wonder if there are keyboard covers that can distort the key sounds to throw off hackers.
Feathers are still used in corsetry. So technically "fashion" was right lol.
In modern money they made almost 1.5 million on the memoirs, remember how poor literacy was then and how limited the sales would gave been without the internet, that easily would be a billion today
Dorothy was well aware that the outside of the city was white, as was everything else, before she was made to wear the green goggles.
Also, about Jimmy's allegory of the meaning... I'd need to see some proof from Baum himself. I have read many of the Oz books; over 40 have been written by Baum and others, about 20 of those by Baum. And any analysis of his motives are that he wanted to write a "fairy tale" that was completely American. (And in the books, Dorothy actually goes to Oz, several times. It's not a dream, like the movie.) And her slippers were silver, not ruby.
class war @5:00
L. Frank Baum wasn't big into continuity. Point being, that's only true in the first book. In subsequent books the Emerald City really is green.
not typing....keyboarding. sorry i couldnt help myself
Bald eagles will not automatically shed an opposite feather if it is damaged. Where do they get this nonsense?
The bald eagle symmetry "fact" is not actually factual.
Neither's the bit about the quill getting in your face. It spirals around your hand in the right direction if you use flight feathers 1-3 from the opposite wing. Handling the proper quill with your hand is a really cool experience. It's like holding hands, and the quill holds you too. They give you incredible control of your movement, and calligraphy comes easy. Pens should not be straight!
That car laugh.. 🚗 😅.. meh
And there was me thinking The Hulk was based on Cú Chulainn. Although it's very on-brand for a British show to claim a British origin!
Lee himself stated that the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
As a cis man, I take offense to Sandi’s statement about all boys typing hunt-and-peck style. I was “lucky” to have a strict teacher who covered our hands while we did Mavis Beacon. I can still type with all 10 fingers in the home position. It’s why I didn’t get an iPhone for so long: I liked being able to text while driving AND KNOW I knew what I was typing cause I still had a slide keyboard 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The men fail so miserably at the duvet challenge that none of them even accomplish the task, and Jimmy needs a woman to fix his hair for him after the mess he got himself into. Men act like children when they think a task is beneath them, and this is a perfect display.
Why is Lou there? She sounds like she’s never seen the show.
