1. What I'm talking about is stuff like single wide and double wide trailers. Would you mind living in a 80's or a 90's single wide? 2. Okay then. By the way, me and my dad were talking about how he would rather actually build stuff then be in a office doing dimensions and stuff. I have a question for you. Would you prefer actually building stuff outside or being in a office all day?
1. Maybe. It depends on the condition of the trailer and how easy it is to move. I don't like working outside because I live in Florida, and it felt like it was more than 90°F most of the day today.
rustycarsarebad I want to move in an area near the Tail of the Dragon. Not sure where yet, but the whole region has great roads to drive and decent weather.
Or come to New Jersey, where it feels like living in a snowflake in the winter, allergy hell in the spring, a hibachi grill in the summer, and actually kinda nice in the fall (except for the end of November, the cold sucks then)
That's kinda Washington State. In the Winter, It snows a lot here (Especially in the Eastern Side). In the Spring, it's cool but unnervingly warm. The Summer, it feels like you want to die and the Fall seems like Early Winter
Look how much not-rust my 20 year old Regal has. It is an old picture, but the point still stands. Don't worry, I fixed the leaking brake proportioning valve.
Well, I would like to live somewhere in the US where it rains quite a bit. I really like rainy weather, but I don't like thunder. It scares me, that's all I can say about that without the mods getting me. I'm sure it sucks working outside, but how would you feel sitting in an office all day and doing engineering/math stuff? As for the mobile home thing, if you wanna trailer that's easy to move. Go with an older single wide, just make sure it's in good condition. Btw, you wouldn't accept a mobile home with dents and mold/mildew, would you? Look at that industrial ceiling, that looks really cool in my opinion.
I could never sit in an office all day. I hate math and I am not good at using a computer. I like working with my hands. I understand mechanical things easily, so I enjoy cars, bikes, and other types of vehicles.
Been wanting to try this for some time. Let's see how it goes... Professional(Ish) Film Review: South Pacific (1958) Among the once-dominant genre of live action musical motion pictures, South Pacific ranks near-top. Adapted from an earlier anthology-novel-turned-stage-musical, the story follows two narratives among the ranks of the US military stationed in a tiny island chain caught up in WWII's Pacific Theater, and catalogues their interactions with the indigenous Tonkinese people. One tale tells of a marine lieutenant flown in to monitor Japanese movements, who falls in love with a young native woman. The other tells of a nurse, asked to charm a local French expat to aid in the cause. Both tales confront their hero's prejudices, and one ends in tragedy. And it's a musical, so there's some songs and stuff. Spoiler: The Good Right off the bat, I will say that South Pacific is a very beautiful film. Most of the larger shots seem to have been filmed on location (a rare treat in that era of American filmmaking), or at least on sound stages so meticulously decorated that one can't easily distinguish. The music is lively and charming if not particularly memorable, and the vocals hold up. Despite most every character not singing with their screen performer's voice, the lip sync is seamless. The wartime backdrop presents plenty of supplementary humor thanks to its ornery supporting cast of sailors, soldiers, and pilots, and the military-centric film sets carry the goofy spirit of wartime-away-from-war in their environmental storytelling. Now, the elephant in the room: the moral of the story. Both of the film's tales force their protagonists to address and acknowledge their biases by asking and compelling them to love someone who looks fundamentally differently than they do. While this isn't the first or most powerful film for making midcentury America face its deep-rooted racism (see To Kill A Mockingbird), there is some accidental genius to its timing. Postwar America was completely infatuated with all things Polynesian. The birth of Hawaiian tourism, the popularization of surfing in the continental US, dozens of films (see One Third Of Every F***ing Elvis Movie). So a film catering to America's newest craze, fueling the fight against America's oldest bad habit, on the eve of the Civil Rights Movement, seems like a hell of a timely coincidence. Granted, the intentionality or effectiveness of this is pure speculation on my part. Spoiler: The Bad Despite the film's well-meaning message, there are at least a few lines of dialogue that phrase the sensitive subject matter poorly. This might be a case of portraying the bad thing to discourage the bad thing, but at least one of the most outstanding lines comes after the characters realize how silly and futile their prejudices are (a line from "You've Got to be Carefully Taught"). The stories of the background soldiers and sailors end early and a bit abruptly, never really tying up their stories in a satisfying way. Several of the film's musical numbers feature some choreography that is bizarre and clunky, in particular the beach dancing from "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" and the playfully stupid hand movements from "Happy Talk". For a Broadway adaptation from the height of the American musical, and competing with the likes of Gene Kelly for top billing, it's certainly an odd shortcoming. But beyond the awkward phrasing and awkward dancing lies far and away the film's greatest sin: the use of eye-gougingly strong color filters during various musical sequences. Appearing alongside scenes of intense mysticism and feeling, and in such shades as "Drowning in Wine Violet" and "Radioactive Piss", the filters vary from distracting from the music and story, to downright hilarious in an unwatchable, so-bad-it's-good way. To the filmmaker's credit, the filters were intended to be much more subtle until the studio intervened, but I question their necessity in the first place. The emotion or focal point could have been highlighted using traditional cinema techniques such as lighting and camerawork, so as not to corrupt the natural beauty of the film's clearly expensive shooting locations. Spoiler: Conclusion South Pacific is a solid musical slightly ahead of its time if a bit below its concept. It has several errors and issues that haven't aged as well as its core message, and a handful of moments can give you a headache as the film tries to teach you to hear colors. But if you can look past its dated finish, the film stands up as having earned its place among the fading genre of live-action American musical films. It's probably not worth as many watches as, say, the Sound of Music, but for what it tried to do, and how it tried to do it, it's a classic that's very much worth seeing. Just bring some welding goggles.
If alternate dimensions are real, I'd like to imagine that there is one where we as the human race have surpassed the idea of flying car and figured out how to make spaceship versions of cars. I mean imagine spaceship versions of these: Am I geeking out right now? I probably am...
Yeah, that's a good point. I have a question. Would you take a mobile home with mold and mildew even if it was free? If you say no, I don't blame you. @Srockzz, I mention you a lot and I probably shouldn't do it so much. I'm grateful you aren't absolutely furious at me for this. My old post on Page 950 of the Update Speculation thread was awful and I'm glad you called it out. Good job with that. Here's 2 questions for you. 1. What do you think of Classic Simpsons? 2. Are you still proud of me? If you don't wanna answer them, that's fine. I don't wanna annoy you and I'm sorry if I do.
If it were free? Maybe. If I had the space to put said mobile home then I don't see why not as long as it can be cleaned/repaired.
GWMan: Thanks for the information =) Me now: Thank you for sharing that with me. Anyways, good night.
Anyone and everyone who was even remotely involved in that argument got their posts deleted of course, even people who told them to stop it got their posts removed, including myself.
