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...

It's only two critics complaining, and they're *mostly* just griping about video and audio quality. Yeah, people's standards have increased just a bit over the past 45 year... It just needs Criterion Collection handling.

I have NOT heard of anybody objecting to digitally remastering the film, (without Lucas' "special" edition changes) while I DO know of whole communities that came together around trying to get a good quality transfer off of the unadulterated LaserDisc versions.

Probably has to do with shifting cultural norms... i.e. Some swear words losing their taboo and becoming normalized to the point of being acceptable in all but formal/business communications, yet not so quite to the point that they're no longer consider swear words at all. Whichever country is going through that transition at any given time is sure to make the top of the list.

Well, it's more sporting than folks who enjoy picking the lobster they want to eat, out of a restaurant tank...

"An infant is around three times more likely to die in the US than in Finland, Japan, or Sweden."

*Sigh*. First they're all about rigorously controlling variables in data to draw a more accurate picture. Then they go and pull this idiocy... comparing the huge US against a few of the best-ranked tiny countries. You could cherry-pick small areas in the US that have much better outcomes, too. Or you could compare the US with small countries that have worse outcomes, like Poland and Romania.
Would you compare the city of Toyko to the city of McMullen, AL? What useful information would you really get from such comparison?

Besides truck-stops, I think you'll find many US campgrounds include convenience stores, and also have hot showers on offer, though certainly not that inexpensively.

The only problem here is that they're talking about PLASTIC bins. There are plenty of bear-proof (steel) dumpsters already.
For a few thousand dollars, I could design and build a prototype bear-proof trash bin that would still automatically open when lifted by a trash truck. It would not be plastic, so a few multiples of the price of cheap plastic bins if mass-produced.

Doesn't sound like the writer (Greg Zapata at mentalfloss) has actually "ever watched old reruns of M*A*S*H" because Klinger was specifically trying to be proven crazy, and refused to be discharged for sexual orientation...
In psychiatrist Major Sidney Freedman's first appearance in Season 2 Episode 3 "Radar's Report" he diagnoses Klinger as "a transvestite and a homosexual" and Klinger flatly refuses to sign the report, which would have given him the discharge from the Army he wanted.

It seems WD-40 was invented in 1953.
Liquid Wrench has been around since 1941.

"Any opportunity to own a home in California for less than a half a million dollars is quite rare indeed"
Not really. Get a couple hours away from the LA or Bay Area and there's plenty of options well below that. Something remote and off-grid will be considerably cheaper still. With a quick look through Zillow, there's several even under $100k right now, though that is certainly getting into "rare" territory.
