    Laptop Computers

    My Dell precision is getting too cumbersome for travelling, and I'm considering switching to the new M3 macbook. Mainly office work with quite a lot of adobe shit. the price is absolutely crazy for this though, so I've been very hesitant. I've read that the Surface is ok but the battery gets...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Went to see this yesterday. Most negs points are already discussed here. Great movie. two questions though : Is it my flawed memory or wasn't worm riding a much bigger deal in the book ? like almost anybody wondering how could fremen move so fast without orni ? During skirmishes between fremen...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I see - I join you on a few points; although I'm absolutely not equipped to understand the cosmologic equations and what they imply, I still haven't found a good explanation why redshift isn't a doppler effect but something else.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Taking photo of something that emits or reflects no lights seems indeed strange. What part of dark matter theory do you think is flawed ? (if you made a post already can you link it to me ?)

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    That's true, minecraft is here to prove that a sound core design is better than nice graphics. But minecraft was coded in a week, with one guy, not 10 years with millions in $$.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I haven't played the game so I can't judge if it's fun or not, but this is pure liquid shit. Guy standing doing nothing for like 5 solid seconds is peak gaming experience. Are the animations and particles effect coded in Flash ?

    The Animated GIF Thread

    we had to shut down a full production line of a pharma plant because some maintenance guy forgot to remove the protection plastic inside a new pump when installing it. The first sanitization with steam melted the plastic and spread it everywhere in the pipes, filters, valves, sensors, etc.

    Ancient Civilizations

    Guys who construct theories about giants, extraterrestrials or advanced ancient civilisations every time a stone has a right angle or a geological structure is a bit unusual remind me of those girls who, as soon as they see a lens flare on a Facebook photo, make a comment like "ooh a forest...

    Watched the last Indiana Jones, 2/10. The woman is insufferable and her plot makes no sense to me. Harrison Ford was pathetic in every action scenes, and stunt doubles too obvious. The first half of the movie is terrible (fell asleep) and worth 0/10. I did not hate the second half, somehow it...

    Andor

    Just binged this last weekend after having a hard SW burn out due to ob1. This show really felt like reading a book. The build up, the slow pace, I liked almost everything; sometimes it felt like he wanted to tell a story, or add some background, and someone said no cut this bs and he had to...
