He now looks like something between a Romulan and some Hollywood idea of Japanese.
It's funny.
Yeah, the Bond-san stuff is fairly silly, but You Only Live Twice has some great bits in it. The volcano lair, Donald Pleasance as Blofeld, Little Nellie, a great score and of course ninjas!
If the weather is fine, why hurry? Just turn off the engine, put up the sails and just chill out, we'll arrive when we arrive
But if it isn't, sailing vessels can handle just fine the kind of weather you'd have to be insane to go out in in a motor boat
You are correct and I use basically these same reasons to argue why Zeppelins are superior to airplanes.
edit: Though Zeppelins obviously have engines, but you know... They're more fun.
Sail boats have engines too. Zeppelins are way superior to jets.
Like, I hate flying for over an hour. The food is the worst it is possible to be, it's cramped, it's uncomfortable, there's bitch who won't strangle her kid no matter the decibel output, it all feels like fat american tourist in a hawaii shirt
zeppelins were flying luxury hotels, godamnit
and notice I didn't include "in comparison to modern commercial jets"
they were better than most hotels today
Go Amtrak. Get a room with the fold-down beds. It takes 5 times as long as a flight, and probably costs 3 times as much, but man, it's glorious.
I'm in Norway. Going to the capital is a 45-minute flight, a 9 hour train trip.
Going to denmark or britain is also about 45 minutes from here if it's a direct flight, while going by sea takes maybe a day
so, much much more than five times as long. But it is cheaper though.
I wish it were cheaper here to take the train long distances. Having actual commuter rail in Chicago is so nice, just getting to sit and zone out for an hour on the way to work.
what are long distances? the US is ridicolously huge compared to Norway, but alot of it is way more traversable
that the railroad kinda follows the coastline, but was built far enough from the coast to be safe from bombardment from the sea does not help things, since there's fuck all that far into the country
Like from Chicago to New York. It's about a 20 hour trip, and a room with two beds is $668. It includes 3 meals though.
Chicago and New York are 1104 km from each other as the bird flies and it takes 20 hours
EDIT: Holy shit expensive, $668?!
Stavanger and Oslo are 300 km from each other and it takes 9. Your trip is almost twice as fast.

How in the hell did Bond just kill someone instantly when stabbing them in the thigh?
Realism, people, have you never heard of it?!
I like the scene in YOLT where Connery runs across a rooftop punching henchmen out with one blow each while a gorgeous theme tune plays in the background. The camera pulls back and it's one continuous shot of wonderful silliness.

Well, there is that main artery in the thigh...though it would take at least a few seconds from blood loss.
Which probably was sheer coincidence. The only way to have someone die instantly is to sever the brain stem, I think. It takes a long time even if you've got a large hole in the side of your head.
In remember an interview with a veteran of some war, and the reporter asked him something about his strongest impression of war
"We, I dunno, we expected them to die when we shot them. But they didn't. They laid there screaming or moaning for what felt like ages."
I feel as though Toby wants me to take his hand and plant a gentle kiss upon it.
He likes to think of himself as the King of the Household. He has this certain way of sitting that Dyr and I have decided is his 'regal' pose, it's very regal.

There is a massive artery or vein there, so that's pretty realistic.
They wouldn't die soundlessly without a drop of blood, though.
Well no that's pretty silly then. Maybe he was a robot and Bond cut his wiring? :P

Man what the fuck. Playing Civ IV, was doing well but Mansa Musa was pulling ahead of me tech-wise and I couldn't catch him, so I loaded a bunch of marines on boats and started razing all his coastal cities (moron had no navy). I've blown up like half his empire, now have the highest score, and my battleships cruise the high seas at their leisure. Some historian completes his great work, the most powerful civilizations of the world, and I come out ranked number FIVE. Of seven. Mansa Musa is ranked number 2.

Fuck. I had to GIS who Gadget was and now I know that rule #34 applies to her as well. Dammit.
You can always just get a single seat to sit in for those 20+ hours each way for around $300 round trip.
Ten of nine or so.
Ah, savvy.
I thought it was some retarded new abbreviation for burritos or something at first.
Realism, people, have you never heard of it?!
Ahahahahahaha!

But like, dead in two seconds? and no blood?
I have my doubts.
