The Official " I Got a Question but It's Not Super Important" Thread
- Thread starter Deleted member 3345
- Start date
I'm going to throw this out there and see if anyone can help me. I accidently broke my wife's favorite Tervis cup (we got at Leinenkugel's in Wisconsin). I feel really bad about it, and I want to try and replace it. Long story short, it hasn't been sold in a long time. However, Tervis has a create your own cup tool on their website and if I had the right graphic I can do it.
I found it online...sort of. It's this:
It's the logo in the middle, however it's not centered so it would look off if I used that. I did a lot of google searching but I can't find this exact design. If anyone has this hat or the Tervis or anything else with the design, I would greatly appreciate if you took a minute to take a centered picture and upload it for me.

I presented this in the Funko Pop thread, but was wondering if anyone had an answer here.
So I just picked up the Groot (Holiday) Exclusive Marvel Collector Corps figurine. Cute figurine, but I can't for the life of me figure out who the lil' blue dude on his back is, Does anyone know?

These new thread tags - was there somewhere where a Mod introduced the changes to explain how to use them/sort them/add or remove them from your thread and so on?
Not yet; they mentioned making an official introduction of the feature "soon", so there might be in the future.
I don't believe a federal law addresses this, so it depends very much on the state/county/city.
You can't really say what the case is in the entire US, but most places prohibit operation of a moving vehicle while intoxicated. You aren't allowed to ride a bike drunk. I've seen those electric wheelchairs move pretty fast so I'd think they would fall under the same restrictions.
That's a bummer. I get the reasoning, but that means people who are confined to electric wheelchairs can't go to bars and get smashed. Or maybe they could just prep their bar hopping non-electric chair and make sure one of their pals will watch them.
I think it's because iced desserts can give you brain freeze which in turn makes you more susceptible to having a migraine attack.
If there isn't a specific law against it in a particular community, they might be charged with something like reckless endangerment or creating a public nuisance.

that's cute. He almost looks like the reddit alien.
maybe try the MCU OT?
Good point! I'll give it a post over there and see if there's any bites.
It's driving me nuts lol.
Maybe but a parfait isn't particularly more cold than cheesecake. I asked because I made some parfait with the left over heavy cream while making a cheesecake and it knocked me out.
What does the R on the WiFi symbol mean? I was away for a week and this showed up on my home WiFi when I came back
How would you translate:
Wholesale discount is 50% off the retail price for a minimum of only $3,000 USD.
How much money would you expect to pay in order to get 50% discount? Pay $1,500 for $3,000 of product or pay $3,000 for $6,000 of product?

I'd assume the promotion doesn't apply to anything with an MSRP under $3k actually
Nothing has a MSRP over $300 in this particular case. But yeah I can see why you would think that.
I'd assume that if the total cost is $3000 then you get it for half that price i.e. you'd pay $1500.
However the 'only' could infer that the $3000 is what the customer has to spend so they'd have to purchase a minimum of $6000 of stock and pay $3000 for it.
So basically, could be either!
It means your connection is roaming i.e. you may not be connected to your usual suppliers network. You often get it on holiday when you're in another country.

You might want to check if your provider has roaming charges as they can be expensive.
I thought this too, but it's odd that it's on the WiFi signal bar and not on the mobile/cellular bar. :s
What if you switch to mobile, does it appear also there or just on Wi-Fi?
LE: Number45 if you are located in Germany I found a discussion on a similar issue because O2 and E-Plus are sharing their networks in some kind of national roaming thing. No wait, that's from 5 years ago 😂

Our 5-year old will be doing virtual schooling this year. What laptop/computing hardware would be recommended? I know Chromebooks are popular but there are so many options.
Anyone else receive the Google+ class action settlement email?
Is it real or just some elaborate scam?

You probably need to specify a bit more. Is it just going to be watching videos and making notes? Will they be using Google Docs? Is the school providing copies of Office 365?
We don't have details on that yet. They just announced virtual learning around 8pm last night. They're going to be doing Q&A zoom meetings in the next week or so. I just want to get an idea of what people here are using for their kids so I have some idea what to buy. I have some mild concern things are going to sell out or get price inflated as more schools announce their virtual school plans.
Our son just uses a cheap and cheerful Win 10 laptop. The school provides 365 to all pupils so we just downloaded that.
I'd have thought that for a 5yr old you won't be doing anything that'd be particularly demanding on a laptop so I'd just look at something on the low end that'll get them through the next few years.
No, and it didn't show up on my cell network. It went away when I restartedthe phone, though.
Ok I have a a really dumb question so pardon my ignorance.
Can a book be remade? Like let's say someone wanted to do their own take on Jurassic Park (the book not the movie) is that possible?
When I was a kid I had the Jurassic Park junior novelization which was basically the movie beat-by-beat, same character deaths from the movie too (the Michael Crichton original novel had different deaths).
Like if Warner Bros. wanted to make Harry Potter novels based on their licensed movies could they?

Once it enters Public Domain, yes.
In the USA, this happens automatically er....70 years after the author's death, I believe. Until further notice, we're all still waiting to see Disney's next move on this.
Yeah I figured that's why ppl keep talking about the great Gatsby but I'm really curious how it applies to movie versions of books turned back into books. (Lol like street fighter the movie: the video game)
Filmmakers have rights over the video, script rights exist in some manner. I'm not an expert on the movie industry and California has a lot of extra IP protection and Right to Publicity protection that isn't necessarily upheld in other 49 states or anywhere else.
But, the original copyright of the source material would still need to be taken into consideration. Making a novelization of a movie script is basically taking the movie's dates and using them to see when it enters Public Domain on top of the original book's rights.
I wouldn't even attempt it on any film since it's too new an industry and the law is adjusted too frequently. Just look at what happened with "Happy Birthday". No thanks. Stick to pre-1900 texts for rewrites, is my Non-IP attorney advice.
Hi y'all.
Got a stupid question: I want to connect my PS4 to the internet through a LAN cable (I'm currently using WIFi). There is something to have in mind before purchasing a LAN cable ? or are all compatible with the system ? I saw a lot of options, some expensive, some cheaper, etc. it's worth it to buy a more expensive one.

Depending on where it's running it might be worth buying one that's a bit more solid is it's going to be exposed to wear and tear. That aside though they're all much of a muchness. Also depends on how fast your broadband is as Cat5 only goes up to 100mb whereas Cat6 is up to 1gb.
You'll always get companies claiming that their cables are somehow special but they you end up with crap like this...

bought a cheaper one, I'm not online games guy, but I'm sure it will improve my experience playing with a LAN cable instead of wi fi
So.......I have a question that may be stupid. At what point did films start to look "modern"? I'm currently watching Bird on a Wire (1990), which besides Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn, also stars David Carridine in a small supporting role. Kill Bill Vol 1 and 2 came out in 2003 and 2004 respectively. I'm going to use the year 2003 as the release year for both flicks, since they were filmed as basically one whole movie and split later. So that leaves a gap of time of 13 years between Bird on a Wire and the release of Kill Bill, and 17 years between the releaser of Kill Bill and present day. HOWEVER, watching Bird on a Wire, it definitely looks like a late 80s, early 90s film. Kill Bill (both volumes) still seem to look modern day to me (whatever that means). Like they look like they were filmed semi-recently. Does that make sense?
On a side note, I've always felt Ghostbusters II looks wayyyy more recent than the year it was filmed (1989). Why is that? Apart from the clothing fashion and 80s vehicles, it looks like it was filmed within the last 10 years. Compare it to Ghostbusters (1984), and it does not look like it was filmed only 5 years later. I need answers!!!

How does getting verified work if you're sort of an insider, but not, but not a dev or part of the dev-sphere so to speak? Situation's not exactly complicated, but it's also not simple. I'm just a normal user who communicates with a dev (that, to my knowledge, and public knowledge, doesn't appear to communicate with much of anyone else). Should I ask for verification? Does it matter? Apologies, pretty brand new to being a user - long-time lurker though.
Anyone know if it's possible to clean a bed that has nicotine stains/smells?
I've only tried leaving it under the sun but the smell is still there (not as bad as it was) but I'm wondering if there's a method to remove the smell without damaging the bed.
Or is it a lost cause and should I just throw it away?

You don't have to ask for verification. Verification asks for you!
Check your PMs :)
Aside from the price and the obvious wired/wireless convenience difference, is there a difference between the wired and wireless version of the Audio Technica ATH-M50X headphones? Looking to get a pair for my daughters 15th and I don't know whether to pay the extra £40 or so for the wireless version or whether I'd essentially be paying more for a worse version.
She doesn't have a preference either way (they'll be replacing a wired pair) but I'd like to get the wireless version if I'm not compromising anything else.
