Fun fact: this one has never seen a Jurassic Park or World film.

I remember being blown away by how cool the dinosaurs in Jurasic Park were. Then being disappointed that, as cool as those critters were, the producers chose to make the story all about the pissant drama of puny humans. I would have much preferred a documentary format that focused totally on those wonderful dinosaurs. Oh well.

I’ve never seen the
World movies. Just watch the first one. It’s the best, imo.

But A, it was an adaptation of a Michael Crichton novel.

I was at the filming location for Jurassic world. They used Fern Canyon in northern California.

Fun conspiracy theory; they have actually recreated real dinosaurs and chose to "reveal" that fact by making these movies.

I've noticed no gif from Giphy works, and not some from Tenor. Chorrol complains about the gif being "too dynamic"

That usually happens if it's not a direct link to the gif. Sometimes the URL is pointed to a weird place. Can probably thank Meta for that.

Also, now I can apparently have up to eight guns with no questions, but no longer an AR-15.

I actually posted on FB about that. Rifles aren't really used in crimes according to statistics anyway and legal guns even less so.

Oh and they're banning them based on a shooting that didn't even use one. The person used a Browning BAR in .30-06.

Apparently the bill hasn't actually passed yet but it would free me up to finally get that Henry in .357 magnum. But I bet it would still be a hassle to buy it so I probably won't bother.

Did you get the BankID thing now that you have a modern phone?

He probably has. It's just about mandatory here. I need it to pay bills online, lig into the medical stuff and any government sites, hell even some retailers. What's worse is it's not owned by the government... It's owned and administrated by the banks, so if you don't have an account, you can't get it. And banks, while not allowed to, LOVE to deny immigrants and people without jobs bank accounts. If I didn't have inheritance to transfer, they'd never have opened me one.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I got this phone anyway because I need that sh%t for when I'm unemployed mid-September.

It's even worse than that; at any given moment the banks can decide to close your bank account, stating they don't know you as a customer well enough and you can therefore be suspected for money laundering and/or funding merrorism. What's even more perfect is that even if you can explain every single transaction for the last two years they can still just shrug and say you have two weeks to find another bank. This has happened to many business owners and regular citizens alike.

Best part. Ok so I planned to move money to the US from Sweden. I had to prove to the bank here that I owned the US account so they'd let me transfer... And they only accept ONE document, that you sign when you open the account.

I did it but it took getting the form emailed by a friend that is the bank manager because I can't contact support as BMO only has 1800 phone support.
