  - wow. I almost guessed higher, but I thought your loans would reduce. - i.b! Apr 16, 20:42 11

I think that nobody claiming responsibility for yesterday's bombings at this point, makes it less likely that a foreign terror group did it. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 19:56
*yawn* -- (link) - Spawn Apr 16, 19:46 14
- I agree with Spawn, it just does nothing for me -- nm - amoxy Apr 16, 20:00 1

  - Fight! Fight! Fight! -- nm - David Apr 16, 20:01 1
    - Don't encourage me. If I ever attend an ST gathering, I'm going to be the one pushing for a fight club. - Mop Apr 16, 20:15
  - People bitched about the last one because it ripped off the first one. - Spawn Apr 16, 19:50 4
    - People bitched cause no one liked Brandon Routh -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 19:52 3
      - I think Routh was fine actually. The movie was solid until right after he saved the plane and landed it in the baseball stadium - Remlik Apr 16, 21:24
      - And now we have even worse casting. - Spawn Apr 16, 19:53 1

This was posted on HSX, but it's still worth it: Time travel in movies flowchart. -- (link) - Roger More Apr 16, 18:58 23
- Awesome! Day Break reference! -- nm - Mop Apr 16, 19:48
- I don't see Time After Time. I think H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper coming to the present would be a big deal. -- nm - zork Apr 16, 19:26
- they left out Star Trek and Dr. Who -- nm - peglegpete Apr 16, 19:11 5
  - No Galaxy Quest either. I feel embarrassed to have posted it now. -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 19:15 4
    - don't be. it's a fair group in the study, but as you can see, nowhere near emcompassing -- nm - peglegpete Apr 16, 19:18
    - Galaxy Quest barely included Time Travel. I think that's a fair omission from the chart. -- nm - TWuG Apr 16, 19:17
    - No, it's fun. More fun posts! nm - ralph wiggum Apr 16, 19:17 1
      - (opposite of serious) -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 19:18
- They have omitted the most important time travelling movie ever made! - ralph wiggum Apr 16, 19:02 14
  - Did it have Seven Days on the list? Because that one always had a huge and seemingly inexplicable flaw. - Beryllium Apr 16, 19:39 1
    - speaking of time flaws, that Next Gen episode where they redid a day or two a couple of times, and ... - zork Apr 16, 19:45
  - Right? How do you leave off Time Bandits? -- nm - Stephen Apr 16, 19:36
  - even more important ... - zork Apr 16, 19:29
  - Cap'n, there be whales here! -- nm - zork Apr 16, 19:21
  - Black Knight? -- nm - charlie Apr 16, 19:06
  - And the killer robot driving instructor that travels back in time for some reason. -- nm - Reagen Apr 16, 19:05 1
    - "Ok, ok. Keep the damn pie." nm - ralph wiggum Apr 16, 19:18
  - This is true. Also, no Star Trek, no Timecop, no Hot Tub Time Machine! -- nm - Roger More Apr 16, 19:04 2
    - Time Bandits, Philadelphia Experiment, Time Runner, Spy Who Shagged Me, Connecticut Yankee, Lost In Space -- nm - zork Apr 16, 19:42
    - Timecop would be an interesting one (especially if the tv show was counted) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 16, 19:37
  - "Trash can." -- nm - David Apr 16, 19:03 1
    - Someone is getting Melvined for that omission. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 16, 19:04
  - Bogus -- nm - con_carne Apr 16, 19:03
man what an awful night for tv. -- nm - Max Apr 16, 18:57
b!, yearly stickers are $82 here -- nm - zork Apr 16, 18:49 15
- semi-related: annual cost of owning a car = $9,100 -- nm - charlie Apr 16, 19:01 5
  - Let's see. Paid 7k for the car, 800 insurance, ~600 gas. Throw in a repair and some oil. - psilotum Apr 16, 20:45 1
    - 600 for gas? what magical land is this? -- nm - zork Apr 16, 21:08
  - I wish -- nm - Capsturn Apr 16, 19:05 1
    - Car dealers in his area probably get erect at the sound of his name. -- nm - David Apr 16, 19:05
  - but don't take my word for it -- (link) - charlie Apr 16, 19:01
- that's for registration or for just having the special plates? if the former, man, that's low for an average; if the latter, ah, ok. (:) -) -- nm - b. Apr 16, 18:54 2
  - I'm not seeing a yearly personalisation fee -- nm - zork Apr 16, 18:59 1
    - yah, that's what I thought from your link. so here someone pays for the plate and a yearly fee for the plate, for personalization and a yearly fee - b. Apr 16, 19:03
- Cali is kinda funny with registration...Not bad but smog test is a bit of a scam -- nm - budice Apr 16, 18:54 2
  - oh yah, add that into my list above, too. -- nm - b. Apr 16, 19:04
  - we have to pay for a test every other year. if you fail you have to put up to $200 into the car toward making it cleaner -- nm - zork Apr 16, 19:03
- I assume this is car registration, in which case its $550/year for ours. Does include 3 party insurance in that -- nm - Karl_S Apr 16, 18:52 2
  - we were talking special plates earlier; but, man, I wish my registration + insurance was that low. -- nm - b. Apr 16, 18:56 1
    - Because the car is leased it also has comprehensive coverage, that's another $1500 a year. Car is almost 3 years -- nm - Karl_S Apr 16, 19:00
I've been waiting for this... - David Apr 16, 18:48 3
- *punches hole in old-timey hat* -- nm - Max Keiser Apr 16, 18:53
- They had a bitcoin conference in san fran...speak the future of mobile payments -- nm - budice Apr 16, 18:52 1
  - it would be as odd to pay .0000003 for something as it would be to pay 250,000,000.00 zaire whatevers -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 16, 20:07
i met pat summeral once - charlie Apr 16, 18:44 3
