Except for Spinal Tap, Rob Reiner's movies just weren't that good. And they got worse over time. Ok sure, A Few Good Men had some cheesy appeal, but it ain't The Caine Mutiny.

Like, this is an absolutely absurd take.

Have I missed reports of numerous people having their fingers cut off over the past few years?

I think the issue is that law enforcement can force a user to give a fingerprint or touch a phone to unlock it, but can't force disclosure of a password. I read yesterday that the new iPhone will have a function (pressing the home button several times rapidly) that forces a user to input a password to unlock the phone.

Cliffs:
- I (along with a team to be determined) am entering a Gingerbread contest, which is actually for work.

We didn't enter last year but won the 3 previous years so I have a rep to uphold.

This year's theme is "innovation and firsts". See email below for details.

I NEED a great idea for a gingerbread house that goes with the innovation and firsts theme. I need a clever idea and you guys are clever!

Example: first chocolate factory was in Boston...I could do a chocolate factory gingerbread house. Meh.

Doesn't necessarily have to be about Boston, but should reflect "firsts and innovations".

I need ideas !

Also see the cute snowmen on sleds in the email above? Made by me! That's a close up of our gb house!

Also, I should note that this competition is for architecture firms so the competition is real.

random thought:

why dont they make toasters with color sensors in them? Like you tell the toaster you like "pale brown" or "deep brown" or "no brown" and the toaster stops automatically when 80% of the surface is at your color preference?

hue
A toaster that perfectly toasts your bread by color

Hue is a toaster that harnesses the power of an array of color sensors via a simple interface in order to intuitively and smartly toast bread to that perfect shade of golden brown.

Difficult to account for different color breads?

Wilbur Wright and Frank Lloyd Wright were both born in 1867, so make the Kitty Hawk flying over some rando FLW-type building. Title it The Wright Stuff

Josie,

You should go with the innovation that changed the world the most.

Quote:

The Fleshlight was designed by Steve Shubin, who was granted a patent in July 1998 for his invention, as a "device for discreet sperm collection" and it is marketed by Interactive Life Forms. It is named for the flesh-like material used in its inner sleeve, as well as the plastic case that houses the sleeve, which is fashioned to look like an oversized flashlight. The inner sleeve is available with a vulva, anus or mouth orifice, in colors representing a variety of ethnicities as well as see-through, and 48 different internal textures.

The hue on toasted pumpernickel is different than on white bread.

Hadn't seen your response when I posted, but

Quote:

By detecting bread color at the start, Hue toasts by percent difference leaving it unphased by even darker breads like pumpernickel or rye.

has a definite babsian quality to it

No! A fleshlight? I don't like it because it doesn't improve on the original, which is THE HAND.

hand>sex toys

Always! Trust me. Lots of research.

Heeeeelp......

I know that it is kind of no poker here and so, but I have no clue what should I play? I am clearly gonna dig now a little bit the MTT forum, but this buy-in is so outside of my league, that it puts me in stress to even think about it.
