You can see the difference easily if you look at the reflection of a laptop screen in the glass. But thats not really practical in the situation they were in. What the glassmaker was looking for was probably a more subtle version of the same phenomenon.

Yueh (who they totally wasted as a character by never mentioning the breaking of his conditioning) disabled the shields on the building, the ships and individuals still have shields up, right?

I guess I'm not certain about my memory of it. I remember thinking, when the glass expert was comparing the last two plates, that it was a shame he didnt have any non tempered glass left to compare with, and thought there was a shot showing that. But I could be wrong. I know some people chose...

This was really good. I was pleasantly surprised. Black Chani is as ridiculous as expected from previews but its one character in an otherwise really good movie. Aquaman was fine as Duncan; shaving the beard made a big difference. First time I've seen ornithopters done right. It bothers me...

Finally watched this. Mostly really good. The final episode was so dumb I started skipping scenes half way through and kept skipping right til the end. Why even make that episode? What a dumb fucking non ending. Biggest complaints about the show are minor details. 1. That clownish chick that...

If you didnt grow up with Little Golden Books you shouldnt be allowed to vote.

but what if hes just the best actor, dont be a bigot

The problem with all these discussions about the history of the Dune universe is separating the fake, fucked up, bad-fan-fic history in those books that were never written, from any hints of the real history in the books themselves. Mixing the two won't lead to anything good or useful. AFAIK...

If this does badly, the headlines will be "people are tried of superhero movies" And Hollywood will start making woke, tranny, raceswapped versions of something else instead

I love it. What a great sci fi plot with a great twist. The year is 3500. Margret Sangers dream has finally been achieved and black people have aborted themselves into extinction, cheered on by the Democratic party the whole way. There are myths... legends from an earlier time... of the...

The first one was good, not perfect, but it was good. Imagine watching *any* of these Blackwashed Reboots. By choice LMAO I clicked the trailer and they have some perfectly normal looking white guy kissing a fugly ghetto chick. Yeah, this is going places! Its literally the opening scene

Bro, you're the one who brought up Idris Elba's cock. Its right there in the post where you said he'd make a great Bond. Don't put that on me. Never seen a Bond movie because spy shit bores me to tears. But a black dude playing a classic British spy? Yeah, thats fucking dumb bro. Here is a...

People like you are the reason they can get away with this. James Bond has always been a retarded franchise that I have zero attachment to. But for fucks sake, you're fine with blackwashing Bond because you get to fantasize about BBC while you watch him swagger? I didnt follow your logic. Fuck...

I feel like y'all havent paid attention the last decade or so. Do you remember those old SAT questions? A : B :: C : D? Fugly blackish chick: Egwene :: the plot of the TV adaptation : the plot of the book

Youre among friend here, you dont have to pretend

Elementary school was fuckin torture. Reading out loud in the classroom should be banned. I dont mean that from an educational theory perspective or something. I just mean that listening to people who can't read, try to read, is torture.

Not terribly personal, just dumb and frustrating. My trigger is a verbal stupidity. The most surefire trigger is people who can't read, trying to read out loud. Next most common is mispronouncing words. It happens sometimes when someone says something without any obvious mispronunciations etc...

Its hard to argue with that theory. shit sucks. one of the most rage inducing things in life and I've experienced it for probably the last 40 years or so. Out of all the times I've felt the need to murder everyone around me, this has accounted for a very large fraction of them. then after 40...

this is like reading "yeah, sometimes I get a headache but I dont mind it" maybe its cause my trigger is not a pleasant one like music, but that sensation makes me need to murder everyone within arms reach. counting helps, no murders so far People who enjoy the feeling of ASMR are more alien...

Do you have a source for the idea that the great enemy was going to use prescience? Interesting idea that I don't remember.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/oct/25/the-last-great-mystery-of-the-mind-meet-the-people-who-have-unusual-or-non-existent-inner-voices These idiots are trying to make the case that a lack of an inner monologue is normal or even a positive thing. They're trying to paint an inner...

To me the prescience is the most interesting aspect. It was a deep exploration of how seeing the future could limit us, and how it could be used to ensure our survival. I don't see the solution that Leto came up with as an arbitrary plot device, but as a sincere statement about a possible best...

there should be a rule the only videos of people riding fucking bicycles on the road that you can post, are videos where they wipe out hilariously, preferably with severe injuries

I dunno why people get so fixated with the cock dick and dog jizz part. Dude routinely takes pictures of his body, sometimes while playing dressup, and uploads them to the internet so his male 'friends' on FOH can see them. Its not like you're ever gonna find something gayer than that

I think this misses the key part, his prescience. Peacemakers just a dumb soldier following orders. Leto's the one who sees the Golden Path (the only future that leads to the persistence of humanity) and has the balls to make it happen, despite the unpleasantness it requires.

After 3 episodes the reveals arent expanding. Still impressed with writing and acting but if they don't get into the actual sci fi part soon this shit is gonna crash and burn.

This is true. For a frame of reference, even *I* didnt make it through all of them. If you don't start the process with brain damage you goddamn well finish with it

I thought the first 2 episodes were really great. I think we're supposed to hate the douchebag husband, they laid it on pretty thick. I just hope they dont give him a redemption arc, just have him be a piece of shit who eventually dies. Aside from him I really like most of the characters. I'm...

I had forgotten that Ragnar in space was the same show as the magical floating androids raising kids show. I think that was some kind of defense mechanism my brain came up to deal with how badly this sucked. Maybe S2 will start by wiping out all the kids and androids and then Ragnar can...

I havent followed this story because Im about as interested in Hollywood people shooting each other as Chicago gang members shooting each other. (Althought it appears Hollywood people have better aim) But I'll ask the obvious question anyway cause I havent seen this obvious point mentioned...

lol they went with a fugly ghetto Catwoman? Its incredibly convenient how all the movies are literally color coded as "good entertainment" and "complete dogshit" these days.

Havent followed this. Is this the well-cast but terribly-written TV version, the much worse in every way JL version, or some yet-to-be announced black transperson version?

This. Boycotts are stupid and make zero difference to the company, but we don't actually have to watch every superhero movie they release. Theres no shortage. There arent many bigger comic book geeks than me, but theres still 2 or 3 MCU movies I havent ever had the lack of self respect to sit...

Its funny, the squeals they let out when they hit it sound like quite a deterrent. But they are smart and stubborn, I don't doubt that with enough motivation they could power through it. We've got the standard steel wire electric around the whole pasture, at about 6-8 inches off the ground...

I mean when I was a kid everyone talked about how SNL used to be funny. I feel like my whole life, the only people tuning in to SNL are checking to see if it ever got the funny back, then realizing it didnt, and checking back out. SNL is still running on fumes that our parents remember and...

Yeah, exactly what I have in mind, its a question of whether its feasible to fill one by solar power and achieve the pressure I want without having to build an actual municipal-size water tower. A small scale, single family, solar powered water tower. In principle it seems like it would provide...

I realized yesterday I've been thinking about water supply all wrong. I've got a generator set up at the pump house. And will be setting up a switch so we can switch over to generator when the power goes out, so we have water. But obviously only as long as the fuel supply holds out. And even...

https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/american-farmworks-10-mile-solar-fence-energizer-esp10mn-afw?cm_vc=-10005 I was skeptical about solar for OR but it seems lots of people in the area use them. I'll be curious to hear what you think, since I'm a total noob at electric fences We only have...

So our pigs are up to about 70 lbs now, big enough that when they headbutt you you notice. fuckers grow fast. As they got stronger they started fucking with our orchard. Since the trees are still young we keep a small round fence around each tree to keep out deer. When we fenced in the pasture...

Couldnt make it past ep 2, this thread is saving me from enduring any more of it. Thanks for taking one for the team
