The most useless piece of knowledge ever:

When MusicallyInspired was about to make OST for SBZ, we had quite a difference in time zones. Still, compared to other forum members, we had the fastest back-to-back amount of replies ever, especially under the circumstances.

Almost 2,5 months later, I still know what the local time in Manitoba, Canada is, even though I don't even need it that urgently anymore.

Lol that's great. I appreciate your level of consideration in keeping track and communicating within my timeframes.

IIRC there are 27 questions. I had only 3 wrong. I surprised myself.

For any Australian out there.. Could be your chance to potentially become very rich
if anyone from that country get that 50$ bill with a typo, don't spend it. keep it
It can worth a lot in the future.
Similar event
There were Canadians booknotes with a "devil symbol on the Queen's hair" and worth thousands of dollars... was a 1$ bank note with a devil on the queen's hair worth 7000$
Also an upside down plane on a stamp and worths $977,500.
A 1936 1 cent with a dot and worths $253,000 (25+ millions times its value)
So maybe that Australian bank note in the future when becomes rare can worth hundreds of K or millions

I noticed that this thread has just turned ten years old.

post enough of these gifs and eventually they'll get recycled.
Probably done it several times myself.

I love my 4 year old cat but I still wish for another kitten when I see these vids.

Yeah, there were plenty of them. Still, there are people who haven't seen most of them anyway.

First it all started with Siamese Female and Siamase Male and they got their own kids,etc.. but what incrassed number of cats drasticly was when Siamese female got in cuople with some street raceless cats, and got 6 kittens, 4 being black and 2 being green tigar-like

I like that they were able to make Rocket look so incredibly real yet whenever someone's face/head is in an Iron Man-like suit they almost always look like terrible greenscreen or a bad deepfake.

Yes
The late Areo the Raccoon was the original reference

CGI is always a matter of how you use, and what you do with it. Filmmakers often use it to make what is not possible in real life, which is the main reason why it looks fake in the first place.

The CGI in Rocket Racoon was used to make a flesh and bone creature, which early on would be made with animatronic. The Iron Man is always flying or surviving explosions, so it's not as believable. In the first movies, the suit was clumsy and heavy, so it looked more real. The newer nano-technology suit that appear out of nowhere looks just fake.

Rocket without his skin is not empty
He has layers the CGI

I'm talking specifically when someone is in an Iron Man suit but the helmet/mask is off and you see their actual face. I noticed it the most in Endgame but it seemed like they just added their face in but it had that bad green screen effect warping the edges of their head and their head was also kinda shaky like a Quake 2-engine model.
I think they look great otherwise.

Underworld's lycans when they get decapitated or killed
you see their flesh / guts etc

I have this thing where I can talk to people over the phone fine, but when talking in person, especially if I don't know them, I start stuttering and such.

better than punching them and running away. Mostly

Military can solve this problem quite easily. The only downside is that it would work with civilians and low ranks and you might feel nervous talking to high ranks even through phone.
