Hudson Hawk was forgotten for a reason, but I think it's time for 90s style farcical romps to make a comeback. Everybody's taking their movies too seriously these days.

I guess the children can't read, won't read, or will just get strangely antagonistic whenever anyone suggests that their ignorance is not a virtue or particularly unexpected. People can't know everything from birth. Young people learn about stuff as the age. You're probably one of the lucky 10,000 multiple times a day. Young people not knowing about something is not and never has been a sign that something is being forgotten. It's just the way it always has been. They haven't forgotten, they just haven't discovered it yet. No one is surprised or worried by this except you.

This is what the enemies of American democracy want you to think so that you stop voting, stop fighting, stop caring, and just submit.

I bought SUSE Linux once upon a time. It was a physical CD and the packaging that I paid for. Maybe a little support was bundled, probably not. That was a time when the internet was slow for most and not an option for others, wifi wasn't ubiquitous (and if it existed, good luck getting the proper drivers loaded without internet), live distributions weren't really a thing yet, booting from usb was finicky and unreliable, and the install CDs would have the entire OS and basically all the software you could want to install bundled. These would have been the days before the fall of Napster and the rise in other "Linux ISO sharing tools". Ubuntu would even mail you like a half dozen physical CDs and some stickers just for asking and promising to share them in your community.

There's nothing wrong with buying the physical things or paying for support. That's not what this meme is showing though.

Bunny ears or a variant thereof is usually more stable anyway. I taught myself a new better way to tie my shoes at 30 something. Now I no longer need to double knot themand they always come undone easily by pulling the ends. Previously, knotting them the way my parents taught, my knots always came undone and the loops didn't lay flat on either side (getting skewed to up and down my foot/leg).

normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Maybe your technique isn't sufficient and the posted method isn't as "over the top" as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

You've got the critical thinking skills and empathy of a cop. How do the boots taste?

I hope videos like this will inspire future creative efforts like more Klingon opera on stage and screen.

More to the point, even if the vehicle can seal completely and keep the water out, very few bodies of water that deep would be any safer to traverse in a car for other reasons. Most significant of these I think is the force of water pushing on the vehicle laterally. Claiming that a consumer vehicle can ford rivers or creeks up to 31 inches deep WILL get people killed regardless of how well the designed the vehicle. Don't drive through flowing water or even still water through which you cannot clearly see the bottom unless you're prepared for things to go very badly very fast.
