No. THX-1138 would have been filmed decades before these tunnels existed. I think that was filmed in San Francisco subway tunnels that were still under construction in the early 70’s.

These are the Boston tunnels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig

I know a guy who spent 40+ years in special effects. He now goes around giving talks/demonstrations about it all. He has a series of photos showing how a typical car is rigged to explode into a fireball.

Depending on what the director is looking for, steel horns are welded to the car frame inside each door, the hood, trunk, windshield, etc. The horns will direct the fireball out the car when ignited. Each horn holds an explosive similar to gasoline connected to a detonator.

After that, each window is wired with a squib, a small explosive smaller than a coin that will shatter the window about 1/10th of a second before the fireballs are ignited.

If necessary the hood, trunk, and/or doors are also wired with smaller explosives to pop them open immediately before the fireball as well.

All those smaller explosives are needed to get the doors/windows out of the way for the main fireball explosives. The fireball doesn’t have enough punch to push the doors open on its own, and it also provides significantly more control of the whole explosion. (You’re not guessing where the windshield might get blown to, etc).

Part of the Tom Cruise movie Knight and Day was filmed in Boston. There’s a car chase scene through the underground highway tunnels at one point. Anybody that’s driven here for more than a few days would recognize that there’s no way the chase could play out the way it did. The tunnels don’t interconnect the way the movie shows it.

Building on this, see if you can collect pricing over time where Comcast is the only option vs. places where Comcast faces competition from other providers. I’ve lived in Comcast-only markets and where they compete with Verizon FiOS. Their pricing when forced to compete is often more reasonable.

I’m dating myself:

• Hogans Heroes
• Mission: Impossible (the TV series from the 60’s & 70’s, not the movie franchise that’s just a Tom Cruise adrenaline fantasy)

It would probably be less expensive to design a completely new one from the ground up whose interior looks identical to the Qatari jet, rather than retrofit the offered one. But either way it wouldn’t be ready for years…

They’ll also gladly accept whatever spin the GOP puts on it to blame the Democrats for the cuts, no matter how patently absurd it is.

It likely also has the best always-on one-way communication link to Qatar that money can buy.

It’s state-by-state in the US. Some states allow it if just one person wants to record a call. The others require both/all people to know and approve. The fun part is when somebody in a one-party state calls somebody in a two-party state…

I’m a huge fan of the original Mission Impossible TV series from the 60’s and 70’s. I’ve watched the entire series a few times now. I can’t stand what Cruise did to the franchise, especially since he basically plays the same thrill seeking character in all his recent movies.

Maybe he meant June of 2031?

Oh, deals will eventually materialize. Just not the deals Trump hoped for. Sooner or later after the US economy is wrecked he’ll have to back peddle, and all those foreign country suppliers will have him over a proverbial barrel.

I’ve been called in for jury duty a number of times, made it to the courtroom a couple of times, and was seated on one of them. None of those times did anybody ask if we were aware of jury nullification, or anything that was related to it.

The SuperCharger network needs to be spun off into its own company. It’s one of the few positive things to come out of the company, especially now that the Tesla NACS plug/socket has become the SAE J3400 open standard and most EV manufacturers have announced support for it. It’s the only international EV fast charging network that can be seen as comparable to similar gas/petrol chains.

Their battery storage division that manufactures PowerWalls, MegaPacks, etc. should also be saved (perhaps spun off as well). Those are good quality home & grid-scale battery solutions.

Their cars, vaporware solar products, robots, etc. all deserve to go the way of the dodo as quickly as possible.

Can’t stop the signal, Mal.

Cut the fiber optic cable then retrieve it to learn more about Russian capabilities.

This Senators latest check from the Kremlin either didn’t arrive or it bounced…
