410,900 | Except the bot is specifically programmed to have human like reactions and accuracy. | Is it programmed to have a “human” error also? That would be really cool, bc humans make mistakes, but computers don’t. (Unless they’re told to) |
410,901 | Right off tyhe top of my head I cant remember the name of the book. But it is the first book he wrote and the last one to be published. Perhaps someone can fill in the title? | For Us the Living, the style is pretty rough but some wonderful theories on how Heinlein saw the world becoming a better place. |
410,902 | Stranger than Fiction. How has no one put this yet? | Because it really wasn't that good, although it sure thought it was. |
410,903 | Seriously, they should never have let slip anything about the $200 - $400 they were talking about. $500 is more than I wanted to spend on it but doable, however it feels fucking shit because they built an expectation that it would be lower. If it costs $600, I might not even get one and I've been wanting one since before the DK1 came out. To be completely honest though I care more about what the HTC Vive and Lighthouse will cost, I think they'll "win" the VR competition this generation. | Yeah, that was a probably a bad move... whether influence by that or not, $400 is about the top of my range for price point... below $400 I would probably pick one up just for the novelty factor (consider how much I would have to drop on GPU/CPU upgrades). Above $400 I'm way more likely to wait a few years to see where the market goes. |
410,904 | oh man, that's what the rich kids had! we're not worthy! we're not worthy! | I'd like to get a U-matic deck. No reason not to have broadcast quality at this point. |
410,905 | Punching Richard Spencer in the face is not about convincing Richard Spencer. It's about: * Denying him a platform - note that he was punched while in the middle of an interview, and the interview basically stopped once he got hit. * Making fascists afraid to publicly advocate fascism, and thereby slowing/stopping the spread of fascism. | There is a name for people who use physical violence to persuade and intimidate their political opposition. It begins with "T" and ends with "rist". |
410,906 | I love Guy Ritchie films and I agree that this one was a little lacking compared to his other work. However, I found that when I watched it again I kinda liked it more. I don't know what it was, I really liked the characters in this one and a second viewing somehow made me realize that. I'm one of the few people who would actually like to see the sequel made :/ | I'd definitely like to see a sequel, and I do regularly go through Snatch. and Lock, Stock, so I guess I can every now and then have a trilogy night of his three gangster films (Revolver I just can't do). What's the name of the planned sequel? The Real RocknRolla? |
410,907 | He *went to school to be* a doctor. I don't believe he ever practiced. | Yeah, seems to be true. Of course, he had to do practical work to get his degree, but that's not quite the same thing. |
410,908 | It's deliberately vague but that's basically it. What happened "last time" and how it disappointed him is left to your imagination. | The impression I got from it is that he is straight up raping her on a regular basis, but she's so fucked in the head that she's okay with it to further her career and actually seems impressed that he's gone so much farther than she ever thought to go. EDIT: I get it Reddit, apparently direct coercion to have sex using blackmail is not rape and is actually fine. I guess I'm just old fashioned. |
410,909 | It's [Blink 182 - Adam's Song] for me. A friend organised a birthday party at a Karaoke place and I went up to sing (badly). I looked at the list of songs and my brain went, "hey, I know this one!". Bad idea. Friends were looking at me with their "are you fucking serious?" face. | I personally see Adam's Song as a sort of happy song. Sure it starts off sad, but it has a nice conclusion. |
410,910 | Was it a beat by beat sports movie? Yeah. Was it cliche and predictable as hell? Of course. Did I still love watching every minute of it? Absolutely! I seriously recommend this movie. It's been said numerous times so far but Egerton is charming as hell and there's no doubt in my mind he'll be a household name within the next 5 years. Jackman basically played the same character as he did in Real Steel but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. All in all I loved this and it is definitely one of my favorite movies this year. I hope this opens well this weekend, It definitely deserves it. | To be fair, a movie like this being predictable? Seems like a weird criticism to have for a biopic. |
410,911 | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) and Pizza Hut. The most unbelievable part of a movie where turtles become mutant ninjas was that there was a scene where Pizza Hut pizza was referred to as a "99 cheese" masterpiece pizza. | I remember that and orange crush bc Mikey wears orange. [groan] |
410,912 | Dance to the rhythm and rhyme of co flow | While Bill Gates and Ted Turner rub each other down with olive oil. |
410,913 | I'm not fan of first person writing either, but it kind of worked for this series. | I think you're right about it working for the series. The way the story is constructed I guess it kind of requires it. |
410,914 | so who do you listen to? Favorite band? Limp Bizkit? Linkin' Park? Please enlighten me... | Just because people like a certain band you do not care for does mean they have inferior taste in music. Everyone sees something different in music. I often get called a snob or a hipster because I tend to prefer music that is often weird (example: Why?) or complex (example: The Nels Cline Singers) and therefore usually outside of the mainstream, but I do not feel my taste in music is better than others; just different. So quit being an asshole. |
410,915 | I don't care what anyone says, I love Armageddon. | You clearly care what anyone says, since you had to put that "i don't care what anyone says"-line in there. Otherwise you would've just gone straight out with "Armageddon". Simple and elegant. |
410,916 | Have a Cigar is a better song because Waters couldn't sing it and Gilmour wouldn't. | that song wasn't sung by either of them on the original album.It was sung by Roy Harper (you know the song titled "For the benefit of Roy Harper?" that guy sung it! |
410,917 | In Alien calling her Ellen feels wrong, but in Aliens it makes more sense since they bring her in as Lt. Ellen Ripley and I can't think Ellen Ripley without Lt. in front. | Well, in both movies they're all last names, which especially in the military sense where their last names are on their nametags on their uniforms, seems more fitting. I like it, it fits the blue collar feel of the movies. |
410,918 | If one subscribes to a heady mix of 1984 and Brave New World, sure. I can see how people are just going to wet their panties by paying to have a smart bug installed and operated in their own private home. By a private corporation. By a private corporation that cooperates with the state. I mean, just dreamy. | I like how anything related to how surveillance-state-friendly these devices are gets heavily downvoted. "Shut up and put your head back in the sand! These are useful pieces of tech!" -That person who wants to justify a bad purchase, probably. |
410,919 | Imho Oldboy is the weakest of the three. Though that doesn't mean it's not an incredible movie, just that "Sympathy" is a masterpiece and "Lady Vengeance" has better pacing and is less cartoony. | I have yet to see Lady Vengeance, but I agree that Oldboy, though amazing, doesn't quite beat Sympathy. It has that dark comedy of Oldboy but in a more melancholy way. There's something more somber about Sympathy. Maybe because of the subject matter. |
410,920 | Willow Creek, the new Bobcat Goldthwait directed big foot movie. | Watched it...was pretty good. There's room for improvement but it definitely satisfied my thirst for this kind of movie. SPOILER WARNING! I just wished they had sown Bigfoot at least in the end. What do you make of the ending? I'm guessing Kelly is in for an awful time as a forest bride :(. |
410,921 | Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself! | Maaaaan, you are one pathetic loser! LOL. No offense. |
410,922 | What idioms or expressions in English are the hardest to translate into Russian? | It depends on the context a lot; sometimes an expression is very simple but used in a way that makes it fiendishly difficult to translate. One thing that is always hard is the slang of the British upper classes, because there is no Russian equivalent for that whatsoever. Another very difficult thing is dialect differences: modern literary Russian is not very familiar with dialects, and, besides, using a different language makes things bizarre. |
410,923 | Ive only seen There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis but I really loved this scene with him and Paul Dano | I think my favorite scene by a favorite actor would be Joaquin Phoenix in The Master (another PTA film). Either this one: or this one: (probably the latter, holy shit). | | | | EDIT: Fun fact, the latter scene was actually shot in an old preserved prison. He was not supposed to break the toilet. The way Philip Seymour Hoffman just handles it is incredible. ^^^EDIT ^^^2: ^^^Stuff |
410,924 | I'm not sure this author knows what a ghost writer is. | I just came to say that. What a dumb mistake. |
410,925 | Anyone know the voice sample that starts at 2:38 ? Sounds like it's from some speech, however not able to find it anywhere. | Me too man. Me too. I'm also after the "pat our feet to the beat" bit. edit: I believe it comes from one of the guys from The Last Poets. |
410,926 | You might want to check out the [Let's Encrypt] project. It's backed by a lot of major internet companies. | Looking at Let's Encrypt, they don't seem to have any way to get a certificate. They have a [GitHub page] And after that they have an [apache client] So can someone please issue a certificate for a web-server address: At least as a test. No name. No address. No e-mail. No country. Just a certificate signed by a trusted root. Also: |
410,927 | Cool, now games can be fully voiced without sacrificing script volume and quality like they have been for years now. | The examples they gave sound fantastic for a GPS navigation system, or train stop announcements. But they're a *long* way from matching a performance like this: |
410,928 | Tolkien got around his problems with women by not including any....... | Galadriel, Éowyn. But it makes sense that in a semi-medieval world, it would be mostly men who do the adventuring and take part in wars. |
410,929 | I have a Nook HD and when I buy an ebook, it's usually with the Kindle app. The selection is so much better and sometimes books are a lot cheaper. I like my Nook a lot but I know I should have gotten a Kindle. :\ | I'm going to switch to a Google Nexus tablet for my next reader. The Kindle app performs so well...font sizes in particular. I much prefer it to the native Nook reader. I'm also a big fan of vanilla Android. |
410,930 | The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. They require maturity to really appreciate them. | I don't think a child can really appreciate the artfulness of his prose. Just So Stories also has wonderful use of language. |
410,931 | Please. No one trolls like Plant. He's always talking out of his ass in interviews. This isn't willingness to consider a tour with Page and Jones, this is just him passing the buck in regards to responsibility. | Yeah I got that impression too. He's just saying that the real reason it's not happening is because of Page and Jones but trying to say it in a way that isn't saying so directly (because it probably really is more him than them). |
410,932 | That's a problem I also have. I find that even reading something as basic as wikipedia's plot summary helps me remember things, it lays the plot out in basic terms allowing me to look back and remember how X lead to Y. | I've done that to catch up with series that I've let lapse for too long. I often don't care to re-read books, so detailed plot summaries have been extremely helpful. I laugh when I see the warning stickies at the top of some of the summaries indicating that wikipedia thinks that the summaries are *too* detailed! Nooo! I *want* that! :-D |
410,933 | we have a part 95 license from the FCC and we don't need any marking ons the package or device | You *do* need an FCC ID number, because it's an intentional radiator. |
410,934 | I've got that but the songs really didn't age well. The Hold Steady is a good example of a band who made youthful party songs that are still relevant and probably will be for a long time. | Speaking of this, recently the hold steady posted a live video of them playing continuous thunder. |
410,935 | I'm at A Feast for Crows and have started cringing whenever a Cersei chapter comes up. I'm not sure if that speaks well of his writing or not, but it's bizarre being in that lady's head. | Started A Feast yesterday, near 400 pages in when I should have been revising :S. It's still bloody compelling but the story has really slowed down and I'm missing the old POV characters. I feel like he's spread his view a little too wide; I don't care about half of the characters at the moment or what they're doing. Also, yes, Cersei feels like Lady Macbeth to me. Does anyone wonder how they'll get TV Jaime to play book Jaime? The former seems far too intelligent compared to the character in the book who's to me, pretty simple. |
410,936 | Cut the Mullet is my personal favorite but yeah, he's amazing. ...but I just realized that my two (I think) Wesley Willis CDs are at my ex's house and she's far too dangerous to endure for a couple CDs. | Tell your barber you are tired of looking like an asshole |
410,937 | Javerts suicide was one of the best passages ive ever read. | Agreed! It was one of the few lines that I had to go back and reread just to ask myself "did that really happen?" |
410,938 | One of my favorite one hit wonders: [Vehicle by the Ides of March] Chicago was big at the time, and this band was also from Chicago. Great horns, really great vocals, and tight songwriting. 1970... Then I go and find [THIS,] from last year. Sounds surprisingly good for 45 years later. | I love you for posting this! On a side not my GF hates me for playing this at 5:17 AM, VERY LOUD. She has always disliked this "creeper" song as she calls it. LOL |
410,939 | I don't understand why people use such inflammatory terms to describe things they dislike. Like, why do you have to call it "fucking shit?" Can't you just say that you disliked the movie and maybe give a reason *why* you disliked it? | Personally I consider swearing to be legitimate words for illustrating an extreme reaction to something. But if you'd like me to break it down I would say that for me: The story was dull and predictable, The action scenes, dialogue and characters unmemorable, The art design was a mix of bog standard sci-fi technology and uninspired creature design. Overall I was bored the whole was through and staggered that it could get any good recognition. So to sum up it is still in my opinion "fucking shit" |
410,940 | But "The Big Short" was an amazing movie that certainly could have won that award and "Trainwreck" was an awesome blast from the past with an early 2000s comedy feel that I fell in love with. | The Big Short was better than The Martian in just about every way possible. |
410,941 | Is this not normal anymore? I'm in my mid-twenties and do this all the time. I like the idea of having a couple backup stashes of cash spread around just in case. | When I get my own place I plan on having caches of money wherever they'll fit. Maybe even bury a box of gold in the garden, just in case. |
410,942 | Wait, was it the old man? The whole time I was in awe because I thought it was the demon. Or maybe the ambiguity was the point | me and my girlfriend both agreed that the figure looked like the nun |
410,943 | One thing that often makes software sound expensive to people who don't write it professionally is that anything involving government regulations comes with a TON of paperwork. I write software for pharmaceutical companies, and only about a quarter of the cost for a project actually goes towards writing the code. The rest of it covers documentation and testing that's required to meet very strict FDA requirements. An app that you could look at at think "I could make something that simple in a week" will take at least a month to actually create if you do it in a regulated environment. At $150 an hour, that "simple app" now costs $25,000. It's easy for prices to seem outrageous when you're talking about government work. | > "I could make something that simple in a week" I could make something this simple in an hour... drunk. I could golf this into a tweet. I did it inline just now, and the only reason it took more than one minute is because Javascript sucks: > data:text/html,<script>function f{var a=Math.random>0.5?'<':'>';document.getElementById('b').innerHTML=a}</script><button id='b' onclick='f'}>?</button> The galling part of this isn't even the cost, really; it's the fact software was used at all. This could've been solved with a fair coin toss or the cardboard insert from a god-damned Twister box. Right hand red, you get the patdown! **edit:** Stop upvoting objectively false objections, people. There is demonstrably no bias. |
410,944 | >Found the acronym. The ARGUS-IS. Holy fuck, that's awesome. And completely insane. Can you imagine a fascist police state with those powers? Especially at large scale? It wouldn't even be prohibitively expensive: even today, at $30k USD/day (which is crazy high) and 36 square miles, that's 7% of the US GDP for full 24/7 surveillance of the entire US mainland... More reasonable, 40 years from now this could be a (relatively) tiny budget post. | Almost surprised they're not doing it already. Over 80% of the US population lives in an urban area. You could cover the vast majority of the US population in 24/7 surveillance for a fraction of the 7% of the GDP. |
410,945 | She's a small thing! She's just a tiny small thing! Don't worry, I've seen this with kittens and squirrels. She'll get bigger! Goddess bless you both, and bring you strength, achievement, and happiness all your days! | It must feel incredible to know that your books influenced someone so strongly that they named their child after one of your characters! |
410,946 | I got out of Goosebumps early, and it was a long time ago so I don't remember many of the books well. I remember small bits of this one though cause of the photography aspect. I loved and still love photography. Lol. Although I think I remember the handedness change now that you mention it. Were the early 90s really 25 years ago? | Your username gave me my first real laugh in days. Thanks |
410,947 | This is a bad novelty account. Just don't even bother continuing. You're taking up space. | Awful novelty account, most of his comments aren't even Bible quotes. If you're not even going to commit to being a pure novelty account, just don't bother. |
410,948 | the amount of "terrible shit" has been vastly overestimated and played up so that when this crappy movie bombs they can blame the patriarchy instead of the bad director, shitty cast, and horrible script. | Stow the conspiracy theories already, man. You'd have to be willfully blinding yourself to this shit to not see it all over the place. And you really think this movie is going to bomb? Man, you are going to be extra triggered come July 15. |
410,949 | For those of you who are just getting their first taste of Macklemore, check out his other (more serious but equally awesome) stuff as well: Vipassana: The End: Otherside: He's also going on tour in the states soon; see if he's coming to your town. (Sorry about formatting; on my iPod.) | Why the more sadest of his songs? Try, "Can't Hold Us" or "Victory Lap". Infact any macklemore song is perfect. |
410,950 | How come the navigation system on my 2000 BMW still works flawlessly but something as stupidly simple as a Keurig machine dies after like 1.5 years? Some of these manufacturers seriously have to be designing their products to fail within a certain time frame in order to increase sales. Is there any other known stuff like this going on besides the recent Iphone nerfing controversy? Edit: There's a term coined for this called "Planned obsolescence", Apparently it is a thing. | Electronics is kind of a special case. Most electronic components don't have a specific lifetime. Exceptions can be parts that have mechanical wear and tear (eg switches, volume controls, jacks/connectors, etc). Some components (eg electrolytic capacitors, batteries, insulation, etc) may degrade chemically and have a finite service life. Still others may be insufficiently cooled and degrade from heat cycles, but that's often a result of mechanical wear (eg fans) or maintenance (dust clogs, lubrication dries up, etc). Electronics improves so quickly that there's little impetus to design for extended lifetime or routine maintenance. |
410,951 | Hey thanks. Yeah, when I say e-reader I'm referring specifically to those using e-ink. I've read enough on my computer monitors and while it might not be exactly the same as an E-reader, I figure close enough, not what I want. You know, I wouldn't mind having shelves full of books, but I frankly don't have the space for it or the money. Someday, perhaps. For now, the idea of digital really appeals to me. (Of course, I haven't tried it, so it's speculative.) | Price is a toss-up, though, really. Sometimes Kindle books are more expensive than their print counterparts. Not only that, but if you have a local used bookstore, you shouldn't have any trouble picking up $1 books. Also: library. |
410,952 | I liked Neck of the Woods, it seemed to me like a bit of a departure from their earlier style, but it's good music all the same. Just different. And I have not gotten Seasick yet, I have been meaning to forever! | Neck of the woods was all around darker. (I interpret the track "Dots and Dashes" (Enough Already) as a song about someone discovering a girl who has hung herself!) definetely a different sound and overall creepy feeling with neck of the woods. I still love it though. |
410,953 | Heavy metal, same classification as Black Sabbath, Dio, and Iron Maiden. | black sabbath have loads of doom metal stuff though. |
410,954 | "The Code of the Woosters" and Gussie's speech powered by spiked OJ. | This could be considered his peek of genius. The speech is often read in isolation but it really need to be read in context. Warning: dont read in public of you're shy about laughing like an idiot. |
410,955 | the three lord of the rings movies are way too high up. | The Fellowship of the Ring is an awesome movie. Both sequels are almost nothing but one (overly) long battle scene. Especially the third movie. Neither sequel is top 250 in my eyes. |
410,956 | Solar roadways will never be as efficient as rooftop or solar farms. There is no shortage of space. It's just a bad idea with the material and infrastructure requirements. | Maybe current technology will change "gasp" and solar material could be simply sprayed on like tar. Personally I bet every static material in the future will have solar capturing tech, unless we get cold fusion or a space elevator or something |
410,957 | "Killing for religion, something I don't understand" - Dave Mustaine, Born Again Christian. | Just because your religious doesn’t mean you would kill in the name of religion. |
410,958 | I think they meant something similar to 'This book was checked out 10 times in April', not 'Billy and Sarah checked this book out in the last week of June.' | For other titles, your second stat could make a great dating service. "You and Sarah each checked this title out multiple times this year. Message her now!" |
410,959 | I've been chasing the feeling this book gave me with other post-apocalyptic books. Haven't quite found anything as good. Make a recommendation! | I found this book while chasing that feeling after *The Road* actually. *Good Morning, Midnight* from Lily Brooks-Dalton is in a similar vein in living while knowing the world has ended for a small group of characters. |
410,960 | I've got a week long canoeing trip in the Canadian Wilderness coming up. Can someone suggest me some good books that are enhanced by being read in nature? plz no *Hatchet* | A Sand County Almanac. The Peregrine. Butcher’s Crossing. Also stuff by Peter Matthiessen and Barry Lopez. |
410,961 | I think the ending was cheapened by the little blurb just before the final few pages, warning readers to turn back if they are happy. It felt like an apology and I don't think he should have done that. | A brilliant interpretation of that blurb that I wished I had thought of myself is that the warning parallels Roland's curse. By not being happy with saving the world and letting his obsession with what's in the tower overcome him, he is doomed to repeat the cycle. As are we -- by not turning back, we also are thrown to the beginning of the story. |
410,962 | But some of his other stuff is too "wobby", I like With you, Friends because it's a little less intense, i think it's amazing actually | I like all of his stuff, and that definitely is his best. I swear that's pikachu in the beginning also. |
410,963 | Privacy services that are based in the US are always quite suspicious to me. Their addon also only works with Chrome so I don't see how they're really commited to privacy. | > Their addon also only works with Chrome. How does it make the service less private? |
410,964 | You should make another music video about how angry this delisting incident has made you. :D. P.S. This new video of yours is officially my favourite on all of the internet tubes! | I'm not angry at all. Just confused. I'm not particularly making money from this song or personally benefiting from its promotion. I would just rather be in dialog with admins who dislike my Reddit conduct instead of not-being-in-dialog. |
410,965 | That moment when the underdog loser character becomes the ultimate badass. [Like that moment Neville Longbottom pulls the effing Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat and slices the head off Nagini. HELL YES.](/spoiler) | What's the point of spoiler tagging if you don't tell what book you are spoiling? |
410,966 | Of course he would. It was probably the best superhero movie since X2 and made insane money. | Avengers was boring as hell. The entire genre has gotten so stale. |
410,967 | Overrated garbage that sounds like elevator music. There was no skill. Pink Floyd are the worst thing to happen to music since 1904. | Comment history of a child craving for attention. Mildly entertaining, but sad after a while. |
410,968 | They're going to do that anyway. Media involving it or not. | Yeah, banning this one book probably isn't going to stop it. But the general attitude towards pre-marital sex definitely makes an impact on how promiscuous teenagers are. |
410,969 | The UK were going to be a part of that before... You know. | Vodafone are currently doing £20 for 20gb on 4G - I'm fairly sure Three are doing something similar for All You Can Eat Data too, which caps out at 1tb |
410,970 | I wish I could upvote this twice, Camus is brilliant. | [It has to be said that the town itself is ugly.] |
410,971 | I wouldn't say His Dark Materials is good for younger than, say, 14. It may be about children but it's certainly not a children's book. I read it at 21 and thought it was right around my reading level. | I read it when I was 9, and I loved it. |
410,972 | It will only support display port technology. Just master race HP things | For everything, including the mouse, keyboard, speakers, everything except the monitor which will be 84 pin serial cable. |
410,973 | Definitely Ulysses, Naked Lunch, and a lot of Nietzsche. Okay, anything by Nietzsche. | Try a Nietzsche reader. The Will to Power is somewhat straightforward at points. I'd get an abridged version, though, if possible. |
410,974 | idk man twitter says some dumb shit. the other day I read a tweet that said Taylor Swift is a cultural appropriator | I definitely wouldn’t put stock into the shit people say on Twitter my friend. edit: also, nice flair! |
410,975 | "...now let me spend the next 48 hours tugging you around by the lapels of your 80's style windbreaker and yelling at you, with a break halfway through for sensual boning." "Take me *now*, you crazy future man!" | To be fair, Michael Biehn's handsome as fuck in Terminator, no-homo. He also went up against a cybernetic organism four times and survived to tell the tale before suicide bombing AHnold |
410,976 | Ya. It is actually an interesting story of how they ended up on the market. It is the format that that houses send to reviewers, cheaper to make but still with the paper and pagination, and folks raved about them so the publishers realized there was a market for it. | That is so interesting. Thanks for sharing, I love that size. Do you know if trade editions are normally a limited run? Like if I see a small version, I'm shit outta luck for a trade edition? |
410,977 | We're just one step away from Jarvis now. Go tony. I mean musk | Only if you want Jarvis to be a trollish neo-nazi with a tendency to diddle kids. |
410,978 | Clearly the comment of an ST user. Enjoy your fucking 8-bit-console audio output and 16-color display. | right. I'm unsure what I did to earn your animosity, but my confusion is quite genuine. Tell ya what, since I bothered you so much, I'll just ignore all future posts from you so we won't cross paths again. May your day be as pleasant as you are. |
410,979 | You do realize you can just *not watch* movies within a genre you dislike? Just like how you can *not post* in a thread about a genre you dislike. | just like you can resist being captain fucking obvious. maybe next time. |
410,980 | I felt the same as you, and realized I was extremely vitamin D deficient once I had blood work done. I felt much better after a couple of weeks of taking a prescription strength dose (~50,000 iu once a week). Not saying this is it, but it could be. | It's possible. I plan on asking for blood work at my next doctor's checkup. Thanks! |
410,981 | Totally agree. He was great in Pandorum and 30 Days of Night as well, and his performance in 30 Days of Night is worth watching the movie for. Dude is good in pretty much all his roles, but those stood out for me. | He was great in Hostage as well. Also when Lone Survivor came out Axelson's parents said Foster brought their son back to life for two hours |
410,982 | I know the hardware players are discontinued, but I used the Zune software to manage podcasts and it worked great. If that's still available to download I'd give it a shot. | Thx, looks like you can download it (for those that may be curious: Maybe ill check it out -- i was hoping for the lightest thing I could get though. Anyway, thx for the tip, i hadnt considered trying this before. Quick extra question: what are your thoughts on using this sw as a main player - as opposed to either foobar/winamp. |
410,983 | Really?? I liked this version, but the feeling was totally different. The Arctic Monkeys version just drips sex. This one is a little more ...reserved? I know that's not the right word for it, but it meshes well with their sound. | The AM version was always interesting to me because the *sound* is sex, but the words are more desperate and sad/unrequited. I think this cover brings the lyrics and tone closer, which makes the feeling so different. |
410,984 | The tape thing was how it was discovered from what I understand so the question was why don't we do the tape thing anymore to make graphene? I just was wondering why no one has tried to improve on that technique since all the others seem to be so expensive or complicated | The scotch tape method, or something similar, doesn't scale well and you still have to move it to your desired surface. Perhaps similarly, you can exfoliate graphene flakes from graphite. About a month ago there was press on a article where graphene dispersions were obtained from soap, graphite, and a kitchen blender. CVD methods have the potential to really drive down graphene device costs as understanding grows- industry is already well equipped for CVD processes. Mechanistic studies looking at quality and reproducibility will help, as will an increasingly large toolbox to transfer graphene for specific applications. |
410,985 | I don't mind at all, but I find funny how adults try to make children accept things that they would accept naturally. You want kids to accept different people? Then educate the adults, the rest will come easy. Edit: Wow, lots of downvotes here. Did you understand I support the event? I'm just saying educating adults is more important in my opinion. This does not mean events for kids are not useful. Calm down people :) | But no one is “forcing” anyone to attend. It’s a public event that anyone to come to but not everyone has to. |
410,986 | I can get a 5th for about 10 bucks. | $35-40 doolarydoos over here in Australian, generally. And they wonder why everyone here just drinks cask wine. |
410,987 | It's not about them being large. It's about them being unnecessarily wordy, to the point of interfering with the meaning of the post itself. | Yes, I understand. But you didn't say that in your original comment. How was someone to know until someone below commented that subreddit, murdered by words. |
410,988 | Er, are we talking about Ender's Game or The Giver? I'm confused D: | I'm not even sure anymore, they are both amazing though! When I was talking about an order to read the books, that is in reference to Ender's Game :P |
410,989 | I can understand being tired and I don't think anybody's intention (at least not mine) is to patronize or condescend to that end. That said, if you take a casual browsing of Interstellar's RT page a *ton* of critics simply didn't understand the science of the movie and that just about all of it has some grounding in credibly theory. That reveals another issue, though. It's Nolan's job (not the audiences, really) to communicate what an audience needs to understand for the movie to work. It worked for a lot of people, but clearly not everyone. | Well I just thought it was a pretty bad movie, I completely knew what he was going for, I just think that he did a bad job at it. And maybe people don't mean anything bad about it, but when you (the general you) try to imply that only way I could not enjoy the movie is if I am not smart enough to understand it I get a little bit frustrated. |
410,990 | I'm a writer working on my first book. What advice would have to give me? Anything in particular about getting my book to market/published? | For me, it was about finding an agent. I was terrible at pitching myself, and I had trouble dealing with rejection, and I got a lot of rejection. Being able to outsource that stuff to somebody else was the key. So my advice: go to writers conferences, pitch agents. Find somebody to take that burden off your hands. |
410,991 | Sorry man, I can't find any quote from any Dune book that absolutely states that the confederation is made up of multiple planets. If you can find a definite quote that proves it, I'll concede, but it seems like it could go either way. The the only real quotes that directly deal with this at least in the Dune Chronicles are the one you mentioned which is probably the most revealing, one in Messiah that deals with the Tupile Treaty (only calls it a confederation, nothing more), and a scattering of other vague ones to my knowledge. | The Ixians provide the majority of advanced technology for the entire Empire. The empire is hundreds of thousands of planets. Do you really think a single planet could do that? That would be like Taiwan making all the technology on ten Earths. |
410,992 | The entire Dark Tower series. Nothing compares to that quest and how I felt at the end of it. | Loved it in high school but the quality went way down starting at book 5 imo. I got 200 or so pages into the 7th book and never finished it. |
410,993 | [This] moment in that film really caught me off guard. | And some people think that Tarantino is the first or best at hyper-gore (gratuitous blood spraying), but there are plenty of scenes in Kurosawa films. The end of [Ran] That paints a vivid picture. |
410,994 | Not sure how Lana Del Ray got to headline. I guess she's a big act, but the crowds that RHCP and Radiohead will bring in is insane | Lana is the patron goddess of tumblr, of course she'll bring in the crowds (absolutely not hating, I love Lana too) |
410,995 | I have no dog in this particular fight, but Patton is really good at voice over work. He did the voice of "The Darkness" in the video games, and the monsters in *I am Legend*. | Yeah, I was really only responding to the feud comment. I haven't followed his career but it does sound like he's well respected. I didn't care for Faith No More after they dumped their original singer and thought he was trying too hard to copy Kiedis on Epic. |
410,996 | [Jayke Orvis and the Broken Band] plays some dark bluegrass that's interesting. [Scott H Biram] plays badass blues/rock. | Awesome. You should check out [Ockham's Razor] and [Devil Makes Three] |
410,997 | They co-owned the viper room. Fox started legal proceedings against Depp over ownership disputes. Fox disappeared before the proceedings could continue. Depp then donated his share to Fox's heirs. The Viper Room was the dirtiest mob run drug den/venue on the strip, going back decades(under different names) before Depp and Fox acquired it. | So real life Johnny Depp is exactly how you would imagine real life Johnny Depp is. |
410,998 | Felony and no pardon. Denying entry to felons is policy at the Canadian border and this has nothing to do with his celebrity status. He will probably need to get a pardon or need to successfully appeal his case to the CBSA. He's not out of canada forever but he's probably not getting in by September. | whoops, you guys let in a convicted felon who did 27 years hard time. |
410,999 | Or you can listen to him backed by Kurt Cobain on guitar if that's more your [thing] | and WSB actually played that "priest" character in the film *Drugstore Cowboy* |
