I find the rounded edge works for me, but I'd hardly find a difference in using a straight one, because I file all the imperfections off afterwards.
I guess I have really weird toenails. ;)
Where were you in '77?
Oh wait I was thinking of fingernails. But I use the same method, sans file, for my toes too.
(In my language there's no word for toe, instead we differentiate between "hand fingers" and "feet fingers")
how come losing weight is so hard? I mean sweating,hunger,and back pain! This is just stupid. Why can't I just go into a coma for a year and not eat anything so that I will have lost the weight when I wake up?! The current system for losing weight is stupid and painful.
Why is it that only films made from the mid-to-late '60s through to the '70s, '80s, and even '90s are ever criticized for having "dated" elements, but movies made in the early '60s, '50s, '40s, '30s, etc. never are? How are men in fedoras and housewives in dresses who say things like "swell" and "keen" any more timeless than guys with long sideburns and women with big hair who say things like "groovy" or "tubular"?
The people who actually complain about such things never watch films that old?
And fedoras never go out of style. ;)

Yeah,I have two fedoras that i wear all the time. Also the standard gray and black suits most people wear in those older movies are pretty close to what office workers wear today,the cut of the suits is really the only thing that has change. Whereas the colours and patterns,and materials that were used in the clothes from the decades you have mentioned are wildly different from what is worn today so it is easier to tell what decade the film is made in from the clothes. Generally speaking it's things like the cars and the lighting that give away the decade a film from the 30s-50s is made in,and it's the clothes that give away what decade a movie from the 60s-90s is made in so that contributes a lot to those films seeming more dated then others if you ask me.
It's silly to call a film set in the real world "dated" for reflecting the year/era it was made.
Movies that try to predict what the future will look like often date badly. We've only got seven months left for flying cars and working hoverboards to hit the market, and for a chain of Cafe '80's to open up.

Yeah good point.
Anyone else remember when that race of genetic supermen took over the world in the mid 1990s and started WW3? Thank goodness we got that clean up so fast and shot them all off in the sleeper ships. We did such a good job cleaning that up it's almost like it didn't happen.
Just the other day (While going through old photos) I could compare my mum's wedding dress from her first marriage, in the late 60s, to her second marriage, in the mid 70s. The 60s dress would be the height of fashion now but the 70s dress from less than a decade later, was a travesty against clothes.
There is a reason stuff from the 70s and 80s gets called "dated"... because it has. A sharp 1920s/1960s suit, is still a sharp suit you could wear today but some of the suits my dad was wearing in the 1970s (With flairs and 5 inch lapels) are only fit for burning LOL. This is why 'Blade Runner' has never dated a day because Scott went back to those classic early 20th century fashions.
VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.
I don't think L.A. is going to look like that in 2019 though. And alas, no flying cars, replicants, or off world colonies.
Where were you in '77?
2019 always was too optimistic (like 1997 in Lost in Space and Escape from New York). 3019 was more reasonable.
Dr Crow,you shouldn't let yourself go hungry.
If you starve yourself you will break down brown fat and muscle before you get to the white fat and probably set yourself up for diabetes.
What you need to do is eat less fried food If you must fry food use a griddle pan and an oil spray. Avoid fatty foods like cheese. Eat things with natural sugar like dried fruit or just fruit and veg (you need sugar for energy especially if you are exercising but avoid refined sugar). Replace sugar in your hot drinks with a saccharine based sweetener.
Give Aspartame a wide berth and don't drink carbonated anything (even if it says it diet this or 1Cal that...even fizzy water).
Water will fill you up and bizarre as it sounds actually flush out any excess fluid you may be carrying.
If you find yourself repeatedly floating towards or around the fridge fill it with something like celery, radishes or carrots which have hardly any calories, loads of fibre and will keep your teeth in good condition.
Bingo, would eating stale bread be a good idea when on a diet? I happen to love it.
I rather partial myself.
As long as you lay off the butter and cheese it should be okay.

Why do some people insist on clipping their nails at work? Do the clippers not work in a residential zone?

Well I don't know about you but my neighborhood has toenail clipper jamming fields all over the place.

And drink it ice cold. Your body will burn energy warming it up.
If they ever get around to making a live-action Venom* movie, I hope they base his look off of the Mark Bagley Venom from the '90s.
Also, I'd like it if they'd actually make the costume look like it's made out of a living black liquid; no textured spandex (or whatever it was they made the black costumes in Spider-Man 3 out of) this time, please.
*I've sworn off the current line of Spider-Man films, so I don't give a damn about Venom in those movies.

That can't be true.
Why not?

The LIS comic, written by Will Robinson himself, Billy Mumy, introduced the idea that recovered alien technology was used to achieve interstellar travel by the 1990's. And the shadowy figures giving Dr. Smith his orders also had a sinister alien background.
Still, I love that the Jupiter 2 launched on my birthday, and the SciFi channel marathon held in 1997 was a fun day for me.
There isn't anything in EFNY that wasn't impossible in the real 1997. I'm sure the inevitable soulless remake will push the date ahead a tad.

Yeah. Why do some people insist upon making a public spectacle out of some things that obviously belong in the private chambers?
And if you DARE to express the preference for keeping such things private, YOU become the evil intolerant monster. YOU deserve to SUFFER AND DIE for your lack of sensitivity.
Meanwhile, public toenail clipping fetishists can get into the faces of other people's children to recruit them into their public clipping circles, they viciously demonize and destroy the lives of anyone revealed to be less than enthusiastic, and yet they are the ultimate examples of sensitivity, tolerance, and understanding.

I picture him like the guy Louis CK does in this clip, around 10 seconds in:

These are also interesting

I don't think he objects to bikesexuals like this one who was doing what he does in the privacy of his paid for hotel room.
