Why has there been no new Minerva toys? I’m surprised at Takara. The Titan Master head doesn’t count.

On my shelf I have Ginrai donning the Star Convoy armor.

That he is.

And a good boy

Hound is at least a very good toy.

Hound is the only other one that even comes close to Chromia in my area, and he ships in two separate waves.

This might be how they finally get rid of all the Chromias. I've not seen a shelfwarmer like that in ages.

It's a good deal if you want a full set of Refraktor (and if they have them at your location)

Here we can buy two and get one free, but at least two of them are gonna be the same toy, because lol distribution.

In the U.K., it’s more like you but two, you only get one given how expensive they are.

Transformers are Buy 2 Get 1 free at Target this week.

2019 has been one long South Park episode.

Okay, that actually sounds pretty fun.

It was set in the forties, featured Nazi's as the villains and had Kiko fight mostly Ice Age animals and a mythical dragon that now ruled the island guarding Kongs treasure.

and it was ALSO eleven hours long.

In a alternate reality Peter Jackson made Son of Kong.

To be fair to boba: everyone else to go into the sarlacc was a sacrifice. Stripped almost naked and tossed, and didn't have body armor, a jetpack and a weapon.

Nah, he just has to keep up his plot insurance payments so he can shoot his way out of the Sarlacc again.

Funny, but everyone knows he bounty hunts for Jabba Hutt to finance his 'Vette.

Okay.. Not sure why.. but streaming is harder than jsut playing the game.. even though that's pretty much what I was doing.

What type of vehicle does Boba Fett use for time travel? A Man-DeLorean.

Admittedly, it's been a long time since I've been to a walk-in clinic, as I tend not to get sick (and the one time I do every 4-5 years, I prefer just riding it out at home), but the last time I went I'm pretty sure you could just show up, no appointment. It may be different in Quebec,though

One thing to note about health insurance in Germany is that we have a two-class system: mandatory health insurance is basically the economy class, while private health insurance is the business class.

My local doctor is actually a shared office with several doctors where you will get randomly assigned to one of the doctors available that day.

Also, employers are required by law to cover part of their employees' health insurance fees, so I only have to pay my part.

Basic examinations and sick notes (known as "work-inability certificates" in Germany) for the employer are covered by our health insurances by default.

Around here, we can go to a walk-in clinic whenever, but might have to wait in the queue until there's a doctor available, which can take hours on a busy day. And then hope our insurance will cover anything.

There actually are a good number of clinics around here: but the walk ins require an appointment (what?) and are only done once a week. IF you can get an appointment, you see a doctor usually within 40 minutes, but good luck getting the appointment.

Depending on the day.

We have family doctors (called "house doctors") with regular office hours where you may need an hour or two of waiting time.

Two weeks? That seems a little long; are there not a lot of walk-in clinics around you?

Does germany make it quick and easy to see a doctor too? Cause an emergency doctor visit can take two weeks out here, and an emergency ROOM visit can take 18-24 hours.

(Good thing is, under German law, if you call in sick during your vacation and see a doctor immediately, you get to keep your vacation days.)

Too bad. My plans wee to do two more overtime hours before having my last day of vacation for the year on Friday. Oh well.

So I'm currently on medical leave for a particularly stupid reason: Burned my back with a hot-water bag while sleeping last night. Though the doctor said I'm hardly the first person to have this happen to them.

Just a particularly odious example of the 90s era of depicting transgender women as either the subject of crude humor, or "Jerry Springer" material.

I think Ace Ventura legit contributed to me spending years in self denial. I will never be ok with Jim Carrey.

I thought he since changed his tune.

Jim Carry Paladin?

Don't doubt what he can do. Sonic the Hedgehog!

not giving a dime to a transphobic antivaxxer.

It'll be a terrible movie if jim carrey phones it in. Otherwise it should be decent.

sonics' still gonna be a terrible movie but at least they whined loud enough to make him look passable for a 2-minute trailer. "yay."

But of course to annoying people there's no such thing as different decisions made for different reasons, there is only "I like it so it's right" and "I don't like it so it's wrong."

Even if we pretend it's objective truth that they were both bad, then they were bad in very different ways.

Sonic's previous movie design looked genuinely bad. The Transformers '07 designs just looked insufficiently like what certain loud and obnoxious parts of the fandom think Transformers are required to always look like.

Um... Purple Monkey Dishwasher?

Do we really need to have Every Movie Transformer Thread Ever in the Squawkbox?

Sure it made money but that doesn’t mean it has appealing character designs. Lot of god awful fugly faces in the Transformers movies.

@Liege My issue with Transformers (2007) were elements I thought were unnecessary.  I know it was supposed to just be a joke, but I didn't ever need to hear about "Sam's Happy Time". >.> Which, being in awe of the first "live action" TF-film, didn't even register until I'd already purchased and watched it on DVD a few times (after seeing it in theaters 3 times).
