They'll get there. The LAST thing we want is for them to rush Steam 64 bit. What we have is pretty damn stable.

Debian and Ubuntu have been seemless, I suspect you'll find the same on all the other relatives.

For wanting to own the living room, they never tried particularly hard. PS3 was a damned successful blueray player. They just needed to give you a nice, curated experience and ease of use. There were literally people buying PS3's because they were cheaper than blueray players at the time

the actual last 32 bit micro happens in 3:14:07 but that's the wrong way :)

I couldn't cook a damn thing until Alton Brown showed me how/why cooking works.

Then I learned about all the types of cooking and why they work.

Then I looked at how the Michelin chefs do it and why they do the things they do.

Now I cook pretty well and occasionally pull off something way above my skill level.

I would, but you'd be too anxious to respond! (yes whoosh, I get it)

Pokemon Go will probably net you 2 of those at least.

~50 reporting in, Phineas and Ferb is some fine watching. Dan Povenmire (the creator and voice of doofen* is active on Instagram and Facebook) and he is a RIOT.

Honey, do we have any more tender vittles?

I want a better distribution of walkable white collar work and more work-from-home jobs.

I used to live within easy walking distance to the light rail, and work was easy walking distance from the other stop. The stops were 20 miles apart through the center of the city.

I could drive there, around the beltway, around the whole damn west side in 30 minutes.

The train was over an hour on a good day.

I tried it:

Day one, there was some mid day stuff happening in town, the train was PACKED and spent 10m at every stop, that day was 2 hours.

Had a few decent days, then they hit a car. We were forced to stay on the train for an hour in summer heat, no AC.

Some days the train was every 10. Some days every 30, some days 2 in a row. It was supposed to change frequency with time, it changed rather randomly.

By the end of my first month, there was an outage, so they did a bus bridge. That trip home was 4 hours.

I know that the light rail here was just substandard. but that didn't make it any easier.

Trains need a specific ecosystem and population density to thrive. In the US, we seem to have an issue that installing train stops connecting suburbs to significant cities brings crime to the suburbs and pushes out boutique shops from the stops. Is there any of that in other countries, or does the train increase commerce in an area?

None of those people are on anyone else's team. They'll set up alliances where they can mutually profit, but the second any of those profits slip to one side, they're unceremoniously ousted.

 

Those aren't supposed to be round on top.

 

This one may indeed be a fever dream. I keep hearing whispers from social about mini-tanks showing up in US citites. And as horrifying as this is, I get a little chuckle when this image pops into my head of Shriners driving tiny tanks around in a march to war. I could have SWORN this happened in Futurama, but I don't see it in Ghost in the Machines (parade day), or War is the H Word, and I just can't place where else it would have been, well, unless I'm imagining it, which is absolutely reasonable.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Could I make a little gun and just walk around through the parking lot and aisles of the supermarket and freeze all the carts in place?

 

I can remember the quote and voicing but no other details, can't place the episode

Something about flying around things trying to get somewhere

Professor gestures wildly with his hands left rightleft : "WooooWOoooWoooooo ... SAFE"

 

I just tooled around on sites for the top-ranked Futurama episodes, and no two media outlets even had similar lists. I was wondering what it would look like with a small group of diehard fans here.

Once the votes stop coming in, (assuming they start) I'll tabulate the results.

Just give up to 5 episodes in a comment and we'll see if any of the different outlets got it right.

**Update: **

8 Voters

25 Candidates

Assuming everyone's #1 is their best choice candidate and they decrease in order:

In a Ranked Choice Vote Single-Winner and Dual-Winner scenario, it takes 4 rounds and "Devils' Hands" takes first place. Luck of the Fryish takes second place with two.

I tried to recalculate it RCV style for a list of 3,4,5, but we don't have enough votes to make it work.

In other voting calculations:

Jurassic (4), Godfellas(3), and Devils' hands(3) won with the most overall votes.

Jurassic Bark won with the highest number of top votes after 2 rounds.
