There's some nice insights also in the comments section.

Are you making that back up though with the extra space for those grapes and oranges?

If not, then that is pretty crazy - but it does look like that bottom container is a bit bigger.

There is room for a shelf down there. Other Kenmore fridges have a smaller thinner shelf down there.

It's completely different when it's someone using their own actual car that they bought once they became successful, but otherwise... I don't get it. On a few different levels.

My guess? It just motivation, a piece of a vision board.

For others, it could be a nice house, a picture of a naturesque landscape, something that defines why one would work hard. How can you explain your profile pic? An old man punching another man?

Came across this interesting site just now: Chinafy | Accelerate Your Site in China

It could be useful for folks who're selling in China.

I'm still surprised at the amount of people here that have a car as their profile pic.

Those kind of people freak me out.

Me too. They should use a real photo of themselves, like I do.

It is a scene from Cool Hand Luke.
It's an old classic movie about a stoic type character who ends up in jail.

Ya strange thing to not include it then.

You think it was to save costs or just bad design?

Looks like the crisper bins impede the space where there could be a shelf. I'm sure it has to be engineering related.

It's a scene of me getting continuously punched in the face over and over from digital marketing over the last few years haha.

It all works out in the end though when I started a commercial cleaning business. That's how that movie ends, right?

Isn't that scene one of the times Paul Newman challenges the toughest guy in the jail, and gets clobbered, only to earn the guys respect because he never stopped trying to beat him? I might have my movies mixed up.

I finally got around to watching the new Top Gun.

Great movie! The dog fighting scenes were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it. No "the message" BS either.

 

[Andy Black]

Sigh. Not had one of these in a while since I added my ugly mug to my Linktree style "website".

Just had an email from someone saying "I love your songs".

Do people not even look at websites?

Yeah, we enjoyed it too.

I’ve been meaning to watch this, it’s next on the list for sure. So cool to see an anti woke movie just absolutely smash box office records and all the woke ones flop.

It just shows that the vast majority of people are normal despite what the media makes it seem.

I haven’t heard anyone say a bad word about it.

I finally watched “everything everywhere all at once” yesterday, that was really good too, I liked it a lot, only a 9/10, would be 10/10 but you could work out how it ended about an hour and a half before it ended, but man perfect execution of the idea, it was trying to do a lot of different things but did them well.

Had a bit of an uncut gems vibe too which is another movie I really liked

I thought it was really good too, my wife forced me to watch it. Also enjoyed that there was no subliminal/subsconcious narrative programming element in it, they even made the "enemy" anonymous instead of vilifying any particular country. Although I was confused on the mission itself, why not just send in a bunch of high-tech drones to do the job? I must have been in the bathroom when they explained that part.

Teacher Who Quit Job For OnlyFans Says She's Made $1 Million | Entrepreneur

An Arizona-based teacher quit her job a few years ago to pursue content creation -- And now she's making major cash.

www.entrepreneur.com

What can go wrong for the future of society if teachers are so underpaid and undervalued they'd rather sell porn or work in Walmart?

A feel good story about the power and impact a teacher can have...

I doubt Ms. Lung was compensated to the likes of the Only Fans porn teacher.

Author Spends Decades Trying to Find the Woman Who Taught Him How to Read

“I thought it was important that people hear her story, and that they know how much one teacher, in one year, can change a child's entire life.”

So cool to see an anti woke movie

I thought Sicario did a good job of subverting the expected ending. Told in 3 panels.

I don't usually "laugh out loud" for real, but I did for this. This pug has mastered the art of avoiding getting his nails clipped.

How great it would be if everyone in the world come together, get busy making art and music instead of wars!

There was one person who wanted to do that already. He made art like Star Wars but not everybody liked that and we are back to normal wars haha
I hope you are not talking about the art on tik tok. I would prefer to see the young 'computer' childs in the gym getting jacked/outdoor more so their health would be a lot better and so ours great-grand-children.

That's crazy. Check out all the stable diffusion examples/uses he shows there. Runway's incoming text to video tool is ridiculous.

text to video

I swear this is the opportunity for you. If video is going to be created by text, then the better writers will win.

I signed up for the waitlist though I doubt I'll do anything with it. I don't want to distract myself with another shiny thing.

Wow, that looks awesome. Wonder if it is just hype or it will actually happen.
