"And I don't care how cool you think you might be, you cannot take someone serious yelling at you to pay attention, with a big toe hanging off the end of their hand. Far as I was concerned, it was payback time. I'd come in the room, say stuff like: "Get your feet off the table!" At Christmas, my brother got him a sock and a glove."- Billy Gardell - "Halftime" (2011)

Holy carp, what a load of pollocks! Something fishy here. First time I'm herring about this, cod you believe it? Let minnow what happens.

"Richoux’s nominalized version was new territory, and it stuck."
No, it doesn't seem that it did. No dictionaries reference that usage of misle. The vast majority don't even have "confusion" as one of the definitions, with only Oxford proving that usage was ever a thing. Meriam Webster even says misle just isn't a word at all.

Probably would have been more useful to install a cellular repeater in those areas instead. I've had to do that in a building I worked in.
The number of calls placed might just be an indication of the novelty of pay phones today, rather than a serious need.

I don't see how they could possibly have been so incompetent that they starved the crew. There's no explanation of these claims in the transcript. It's easy to calculate how much food is needed. They couldn't have been planning on the crew (not the cast) foraging. There wasn't harsh weather that could have prevented planned resupply runs. TV production crews always have to plan the food on any remote shoot, so this should have been pretty standard fare.

Being a multi-billionaire doesn't stop you from being a corrupt criminal, shamelessly and illegally enriching yourself at every opportunity. Even being elected president apparently doesn't help...

I'm disappointed. My first thought was something like a wind vein, which automatically opens or closes your windows when the wind hits a certain speed.
Rear-view mirrors for your windows is fine, but I'd think more important on your door. Seems like it belongs in very high-crime countries, rather than Sweden, though not hitting pedestrians as you swing open your windows is good as well.

Funny, because with a fraction of the budget, they did the opposite for weightless scenes in Space Camp (1986):

“After the first day, we were 10 days behind,” Lea Thompson remembered. “It was really hard because they didn’t know how to make us be weightless. They had no idea.”

"We were hanging from ropes, and they’d built the set on this thing that rolls, and I had to climb up. It was so uncomfortable. We had to be this sort of weird mime troupe trying to simulate no gravity. They had no idea how to do it"

And no, I do not recommending watching it...

You can make something quite close to Yoo-hoo. Just keep adding more water and extra chocolate powder to your chocolate milk, until the consistency looks right.
Kind of nostalgic, but as for flavor, it's a step down from every other ready to drink milk-based shelf-stable chocolate drink... Like Nesquik, Carnation breakfast, Nutrament, or probably any brand of UHT chocolate milk.

"after the day's toil, in lieu of most other sources of amusement, the lumbermen have teased each other, by tickling"

Doesn't quite fit with our popular image of rugged old lumberjacks...
