Just read something I found funny which is in the movie "Fight Club", almost all scenes of the movie had a Starbucks cup present in it. Talk about product placement.  ;D

That's similar to the Bill Cosby comedy Leonard, Part 6, which is practically the world's longest Pepsi commercial :D

Well, it looks stupid, but it's an efficient use of space.   :)

Photographer Steve Birnbaum has been recreating music history by photographing images of musicians and bands in the exact location where they were originally photographed. The project started in 2010, and since then, he has covered 500 to 600 locations shooting from 100 to 150 days in a year.

(OH COME ON! "P E T A P I X E L" trips the Bad Word Censor?!?!?!?)



BTW, he always credits the original photographer:

David Bowie, January 10th 1997 outside of Tea and Sympathy NYC. This image was taken after his 50th Birthday gig at MSG. Photo by Kevin Cummins.

I'm clueless on that censor too, rtpoe.  That's a cool page though, I'm just going through it now.

People You Never Knew Were Science Fiction Fans: Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate in Economics (2008).

From an interview in 2008:

Jim Lehrer: "When and why did you decide to become an economist in the first place?"

Paul Krugman: "That's a little embarrassing. I don't know how many of your viewers read science fiction, but there's a very old series by Isaac Asimov - the Foundation novels - in which the social scientists who understand the true dynamics save civilization. That's what I wanted to be; it doesn't exist, but economics is as close as you can get, so as a teenager I really got into it."

One of Krugman's earliest papers was a not-entirely-serious musing on interest rates and interstellar travel, and he even did the intro to a 2012 edition of the Foundation Trilogy.

As a pantry, that makes sense. You can use the lower portion for one of those sideways spice racks. And the upper portion for normal shelves.

Fascinating.

Insider, Aug. 2021: "How Bank Robberies Actually Work | How Crime Works"
Former bank robber Cain Vincent Dyer speaks to Insider about his experience, and how bank robberies work.

Dyer served in the United States Marine Corps. He turned to bank robbery after threats to his family by a dangerous gang. He was nicknamed the "kangaroo bandit," having been captured on CCTV stuffing cash into a backpack worn on his chest. He says he robbed over 100 banks across California between 1999 and 2001. He eventually turned himself in and served nine years in prison after pleading guilty to six robberies. He now works as a life coach and motivational speaker, helping newly released prisoners reintegrate into society. He's also a partner in two production companies.

This is a HIMARS (High Mobility Rocket Artillery System) belonging to the US Marine Corp being fired at the Chocolate Mountain Aerial Gunnery Range. This is the system the USA is providing Ukraine in their fight against the Russians >:( which has had significant results in halting their invasion and right now it is becoming a war of attrition. Because of its extreme accuracy, the Russians have had to withdraw their logistical train farther back from the front and many Russians are literally running out of ammunition because the Ukrainians have destroyed a significant amount of the ammunition depots. Go Ukraine! :)
