I’ve seen a setup like this where it made sense. Not nearly a long enough run for proper steps, but alternating half-steps allow you to get height faster. But this just seems like they did it for fun.

This was one of the laws broken in Half As Interesting’s “Crime Spree,” which became the pilot of their series “Jet Lag: The Game.”

If you have Nebula, it’s worth a watch.

There was at least one care bear on Lemmy saying ‘think of his family’, etc.

Nah, I will think about the families of the tens of thousands of private insurance victims instead.

I don’t think empathy is a zero-sum game.

Fuck the CEO and his company’s practices. Sic semper leeches-who-profit-from-making-healthcare-worse.

But I still feel for his kids who lost their dad, and his parents who lost their son. Just like I feel bad for the families who lost people because they were denied healthcare.

Callousness toward the pain of other people isn’t a trait I want to nurture in myself, personally.

Only 4 inches? Look at mister monster cock over here.

A footlong sub can be a meal, if you put enough stuff on it. And the veggies don’t make it cost more. Just load it up with everything and get your money’s worth.

Poo-casso

This got me.

Traditional bits only have to be 0 or 1. Not a coherent superposition.

Managing to maintain a stable qubit for a meaningful amount of time is an important step. The final output from quantum computation is likely going to end up being traditional bits, stored traditionally, but superpositions allow qubits to be much more powerful during computation.

Being able to maintain a cached superposition seems like it would be an important step.

(Note: I am not even a quantum computer novice.)

the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.

False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.

There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.

Hey man, maybe it was on purpose to get the toys on the news!

Why the fuck isn’t there just a simple status LED that is on the same circuit as the camera? If the camera is on, the LED is on. Period.

Apparently it’s a two part movie and the next half is next year. So maybe it does deserve 1 star.

Naw. I was a bit worried when they said they were splitting it, but my wife and I love Wicked (she talked about it on our second date and before our third date I had listened to the soundtrack and sent her my thoughts and started reading the book), so we went to see it opening night.

Having seen it, I now think it’s a very appropriate use of the Part I/Part II split. They divide the movies at the intermission of the musical, Act I is Part I and Act II will be Part II. This may seem silly since the musical itself is about as long as Part I (if you include intermission), but a musical can tell a story like this much faster than a movie. Movies have establishing shots and reaction shots, longer action sequences, time spent allowing moments to land, letting scenes breathe, people taking in their surroundings, etc.

If they had tried to cram both acts into one movie it would’ve felt extremely rushed. They barely added any story elements to the movie, and song-wise only really added a bit to One Short Day, but it still filled it’s runtime and never (to me anyway) felt like it was dragging or filler.

We loved it. Now, we’re biased because we love the musical, but it’s a good musical. So I recommend the movie!
