CookieOfFortune,

In theaters: Furiosa. Very meh and disappointing compared to Fury Road (which is IMO the best action movie ever).

CookieOfFortune,

It looked like they just cut their effects budget by a lot. The green screen work was terrible and super apparent. The motorcycles would be obviously riding in a studio instead of on sand (just look at them not affected by any bumps).

A bunch of the CGI was just super obvious and in some places poorly done.

And then the plot had the random love interest and most of the dialogue was bad.

And worst of all

Tap for spoilerThey skipped the final battle completely! What a cop out!!!

Then at the end when they show scenes from the last movie, it was just so obvious how bad the effects were in comparison!

CookieOfFortune,

You could probably use most sands or rocks, it’s just cheaper to start with more silicon dioxide since the purification processes will result in higher yields.

CookieOfFortune,

Watched it over the weekend and was rather underwhelmed. It felt “cheap” compared to Fury Road. The CGI was quite terrible in comparison, especially when they showed some scenes from the last movie during credits. It’s just so obvious they paid less detail to the effects and it seemed like a significant decrease in their use of practical effects. Add to that some of the effects were just plain bad. AND worse of all

Tap for spoilerThey skipped the final fight scene completely!

Also there was just too much talking. Fury Road was great because the world building was done without extra dialog. Furiosa just felt like any other Hollywood film with nothing special at all.

1,000 Harvard Students Walk Out of Commencement to Support 13 Seniors Barred from Graduation over Gaza (www.democracynow.org)

More than a thousand Harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday to support 13 undergraduates who were barred from graduating after they participated in the Gaza solidarity encampment in Harvard Yard....

CookieOfFortune,

That’s like 50% of the graduating class?

CookieOfFortune,

That just makes it sound like grad students are excellent targets for corporate influence.

CookieOfFortune,

My partner totally asks me questions she hears from TikTok trends. Man vs bear, etc.

CookieOfFortune,

It says 150lbs, a climbing carabiner is rated for like 22kN which is about 5000lbs.

CookieOfFortune,

There are a number of different locking mechanisms but there’s plenty without extra locking protection. For example: rei.com/…/black-diamond-hotforge-straight-gate-ca…

CookieOfFortune,

In my experience I can write more code after a few drinks. However I usually find that the code is of low quality when I check it the next day…

CookieOfFortune,

If you can’t understand it, is it high quality?

CookieOfFortune,

I mean maybe that just means you were bad at naming which is the hardest part! When I’m sober I spend a lot of thought on naming things, and when it gets skipped over while drunk I’m just like wtf did I write?

CookieOfFortune,

Hmm isn’t this 40k as well?

The Emperor of Man: “Gods don’t exist, use logic and science!”

The Imperium of Man: “All hail the God-Emperor, where are the 1000 sacrifices?”

CookieOfFortune,

Are these common nowadays? Thought their environments got burned down.

CookieOfFortune,

Just a lot of the koala habitats got destroyed by wildfires and they’re more endangered than ever now. So I’m surprised if they’re commonly seen.

CookieOfFortune,

I’m not certain near infinite energy will solve scarcity. Humans will simply use up all the available energy anyways until we eventually run out of whatever previously “infinite “ resource we’re using. We’re very good at this type of optimization.

CookieOfFortune,

More than we can consume right now. We used to think this about oil as well. Humans will seek to reach this limit as quickly as possible. It will certainly create new technologies. However I don’t think it will solve scarcity problems for everyone since many of those issues are not resources or technology but politics. We choose to deprive certain humans of their basic needs.

CookieOfFortune,

I think you can cheese the deathclaws by hiding in a building or something. The main issue is having enough ammunition.

CookieOfFortune,

Of course, you can pay money for your AI to “succeed” vs the other AI. Highest bidder gets the choice. You just need to advertise services to men and women as separate companies.

CookieOfFortune,

Not sure about scientifically, but anecdotally as we’re currently in Asia on vacation, even the cheap 7-11 sunscreen works better than anything in the US: It feels lighter and it seems you need a lot less to be effective.

We went on a two hour hike and thought we’d just sweat away all the sunscreen but we were fine afterwards. The US sunscreen would’ve had to be reapplied to be as effective.

CookieOfFortune,

I mean that’s the whole point of flirting. You establish a rapport and read the social cues to see if there’s reciprocation. Smiles, eye contact, etc. The problem of course, is misreading.

CookieOfFortune,

I mean there’s a large category of conversation that can lead to further flirtation without being considered initial flirtation. That’s the whole point, escalating socially acceptable requests.

CookieOfFortune,

Isn’t the whole point of modern UX to help users get the correct answer with incorrect inputs? Spellcheckers, etc.

CookieOfFortune,

Yes I’m well aware of the quote by the buddy of the mother of the namesake of one of the most expensive violins ever sold. But my point is this is the type of short sighted statement made by engineers and the world has moved to be more user centric.
