I agree
from the initial "It's halloween so the predator can look like someone dressed up" (ET) to "kid finds alien tech and makes it work" (flight of the navigator) to "We are assassins, isn't being dangerous the point?" (throwaway hard man line) it smacked of someone who saw too many movies from the 80's they liked but failed to see what made them good.
Seems like they are going down the `ready player one` route and thinking that if they throw in enough references then they won't have to make a decent film.
Also seems like 'predator for kids' with the amount of kids in the kid's movie.

But it makes sense that they wouldn't have been given planning permission whatsoever for a suburban call center.

The 'transgender debate' is really quite alarming right now, with the rights and indeed safety of women and girls in the UK being in danger.
I really don't care what gender people identify as; it has no impact on my life whatsoever. But I do care if some bloke with malicious intent is able to share a changing room with my wife or teenage daughter, because he told the staff he identified as a woman.

First, trans people have been using the facilities that they want to since forever. This whole worrying-about-trans-people is really only a recent phenomenon (unsurprisingly, it's mainly because anti-gay campaigners have shifted their target since equal marriage).
Second, blokes with malicious intent are already able to share a changing room with you or your son. And without having to drag up either.
Finally, let's say we want make a rule that you have to use the facilities that match your birth gender. So now, you'll have big burly beardy guys (the likes of Buck Angel or this dude below) having to use the Ladies', for example
So you'd make it even easier for a malicious man to get into the toilet because he wouldn't even have to drag up, thus making the entire premise behind it completely useless.
And then conversely there'll be the trans women forced to use the Gents. Do you really think those women are going to be safe doing that?

Hello. I speak German and have The Google. Let me help.

I think you mean this - https://www.rnz.de/nachrichten/metropolregion_artikel,-sexuelle-belaestigungen-im-miramar-weinheim-angefasst-begrapscht-gebissen-_arid,344993.html
"Das Bad überwache den Eingang, die Kasse, die Gänge zu den Umkleiden sowie die Rutschen mit Kameras. Im Bade- und Saunabereich sei dies nicht zulässig."
"They monitor the entrance, cashier, entrances to changing areas and slides with cameras. This isn't allowed in the pool/sauna area"
Now, to me that sounds like an issue with the security rather than something to do with the changing rooms (otherwise surely it wouldn't be just this one pool?). Indeed of the cases reported, I don't see any mention of changing rooms, but things happened in communal pool/sauna areas.
And definitely zero mentions of trans people (or "trannies" as you will fucking insist on calling them despite being asked nicely before, you fucking cunt. Seriously. It's like a gay person being called "faggot" and it's fucking rude).

Live rocket launch and hoverslam tonight
**** UPDATED ****
FRIDAY 11th at 21:14 (Thursday's attempt was scrubbed)
Stream begins FRIDAY 11th 8:45 PM, launch should be around 9:14 PM. First launch of the new SpaceX "Block 5" Falcon 9 rocket, and landing on a drone ship. First Bangladesh communications satellite.
Rough guide, minute-by-minute:
-35 mins Fuel loading (RP-1 refined kerosene and liquid oxygen)
-7 Engine chill
+2 Main engine cut off and separation
+6 "Hoverslam" re-entry burn and landing on drone ship
+27 second stage relit, satellite deployed
SpaceX launch of Bangabandhu Satellite-1 from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The launch window is from 21:14 to 23:21 BST. Forecast shows a 30% chance of violating weather conditions.
Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You”, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 33 minutes after launch, the satellite will be deployed into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO)
The main change with Block 5 is re-usability; some previous Falcon 9 rockets have been re-used once, but Block 5 should be able to be re-used ten or more times with very limited refurbishment. It also has an improved thermal coating, more thrust, titanium grid fins, new fairings, and other upgrades. It's the final substantial upgrade to Falcon 9, before moving on to the BFR (Big Fucking Rocket).
What is block 5? 20-minute video about how Falcon 9 has developed (Everyday Astronaut), Press kit (SpaceX PDF), Launchpad picture 90 megapixel here (in flickr) or original (5572 x 13520, 8MB) here.

SpaceX launch of Bangabandhu Satellite-1 from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The launch window is from 21:14 to 23:21 BST. Forecast shows a 30% chance of violating weather conditions.
Following stage separation, SpaceX will attempt to land Falcon 9’s first stage on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You”, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 33 minutes after launch, the satellite will be deployed into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO)
The main change with Block 5 is re-usability; some previous Falcon 9 rockets have been re-used once, but Block 5 should be able to be re-used ten or more times with very limited refurbishment. It also has an improved thermal coating, more thrust, titanium grid fins, new fairings, and other upgrades. It's the final substantial upgrade to Falcon 9, before moving on to the BFR (Big Fucking Rocket).
What is block 5? 20-minute video about how Falcon 9 has developed (Everyday Astronaut), Press kit (SpaceX PDF), Launchpad picture 90 megapixel here (in flickr) or original (5572 x 13520, 8MB) here.

if they want it to go faster then they should put a big wing on it and some go faster stripes

Well I had hoped to see this tonight, but it looks like its on hold until they figure out why it aborted the countdown.
( , Thu 10 May 2018, 22:52, Share, Reply)
Yup, no details yet
Launchpad computers detected an abort condition; it wasn't possible to reset, identify the fault, and check everything within the launch window.
Still, a scrub is a trillion times preferable to an explosion.
Tomorrow, launch window is from 20:14 to 22:21 UTC but there's currently a 40% chance of a weather violation.
I'll keep the post updated.

this one doesn't fly
half the fucking world is trying to export food to us but the huge tariff barriers erected by the EU make it nigh on impossible.
I'm actually more bremainee than you but the food angle is rubbish. The CAP was designed purely for fat french farmers who wanted to continue doing things the way their fathers did (06.30 - calvados and croissant, 07/q5 petit brandy avec cafe etc etc) and it then got massively gamed by all the biggest cunts in europe.

Also the punitive tarrifs on goods from outside the EU is hurting people we should be helping.
16% tarrifs on oranges so were forced to buy subsidised Spanish ones.
Large tarrifs on processed cocoa and coffee beans so Africa farmers can't get the full value of their product.
Basically the whole system is there to protect relatively wealthy european buisiness owners whilst exploiting 3rd world farmers.
Drop those tarrifs and we get very cheap food.

Of course CAP needs reform. Being given money just because you own agricultural land is a huge transfer of income from the poor to the rich, at least the way the UK chooses to organise its agriculture. This will not change once we leave though.

They do. In the cask it's 60%+ ABV.
The point is to freshly dilute it a bit o free up all the magic dilutey particulates that have been stabilised in the bottle.

They do, that's why it's 40% not 100%
Like duuh.
Ashally,
Here beginneth the tale!
Wushky was originally always sold cask strength and you had to (well generally you did) water it down to taste. Supposedly Edinburgh tap water is the official eau but yeah Edinburgh is full of ponces who will say anything... Anyways!
The manufacturers thought "Lets pre-water it for these useless twats and we can make a fortune"
So they sat down with many testers and worked out what people generally liked. They found that % and then started to pre-water it down but on the strong side on the principal that it's easier to add more water than it is to take water out (which is hard mmkay)
THUS m'lord washkey is sold a little stronger than most people like so a tad of water makes it taste better as your taste buds need water to function.
Here endeth the tale

This guy might be a little bit bonkers,
but he's not wrong.
To get over the ice problem you can get whisky stones. They're little cubes of limestone that you keep in the freezer until you need them. Plop them in your drink and it becomes nice and chilled without diluting it. You'll need a few of them so you can rotate them throughout the evening.
