I had a blender bottle from which I had drank all the liquid, which still had ice in it. Because the ice was above the 100ml line (the limit for LIQUIDS), they took it and threw it away. They wouldn't even just dump the ice, but tossed the whole bottle. Being that I was running short on time for my flight and I got my work to pay for a new one, I didn't fight it (also just because I'm correct doesn't mean the argument is going to go my way in a situation like this) but I'm still flabbergasted that ice was a liquid according to the pair of TSA seat fillers checking my bag.

I almost had a multimeter confiscated on a different occasion when they couldn't figure out what it was. That one I put my foot down until a supervisor thankful instantly waved me through when he showed up.

It's definitely an experiment, but is isn't Bill Nye.

I've been guessing points for six generations.

It's much worse than that.

Tyranids had a whole mashup of influences, and mollusks were prominant in their early spaceship designs.

The 'nids were really any and every flavor of organic shape until the 3e look created the unified spiky-dinosaur-bug aesthetic.

"Best seller" depends on the metric being used, this article has some simple explanations, including how Amazon niche categories can be gamed to get a book to technically be a best seller.

Because Amazon refreshes ranks at least once a day (often hourly), a well-timed promotional spike can crown you a #1 “best seller” in dozens of micro-categories. Amazon itself acknowledges that ranks are relative and heavily weighted toward recent activity. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing One TikTok push or email blast can deliver the screenshot—hence the glut of “international best-selling authors” whose lifetime sales barely break four figures.

For a more prestigious listing, like being a New York Times Best-Seller, that's just lies if the NY Times likes you.

The Times, which had always claimed that the list was compiled from computer sales, countered in court that its list “was not mathematically objective but was editorial content and thus protected under the Constitution as free speech.”

In something like "Rao's Homemade" sauces, the word "Homemade" is part of the registered name of the sauce (if you look close you can see the little "R" symbol for a Registered Trademark on the label), not a defined descriptor that needs to meet some kind of legal standard. Yes, it is trying to trick you into thinking of it as being less industrially made than it really is. Marketing.

At least you didn't ask about boneless chicken wings...

Be happy that this is what you're getting from the picture.

I don't think that proves much besides marketing people slapping anything on a cover long after the movie was made.

In the DVD commentary, the writer/director talked about how he'd had the basic idea, including gun kata, since high school. He could have been lying but I think he was honest and this was sort of a case of independent parallel ideas, since somebody turbo nerdy enough to come up with gun kata probably had influence from Hong Kong action movies that similarly influenced The Matrix.

The action style and flow is much different than The Matrix, and while both plots are about fighting the system, Equilibrium is much more straight forwardly grabbing elements from classic dystopias.

Terror? Lake!?

I've got to get something to eat!
