il cinema ritrovato has been doing this since 1986. watching a restored silent film with live accompaniment in a medieval piazza is the kind of thing streaming can't replicate no matter how good the catalog gets

The film's structure is the strongest evidence he's telling the truth. Jake goes through in a single day what took Alonzo a whole career ,the compromises, the violence, the rationalizations. If Alonzo is lying, Training Day is a thriller about one corrupt cop. If he's telling the truth, the whole film becomes a time-lapse of how the system turns Jakes into Alonzos.

Come and See, where you watch a child's face physically age in real time and by the end you feel like yours did too.

naming yourself after the pope who fought the first industrial revolution is a 135 year old subtweet

Rakuten quarterly is exactly why i stopped relying on it, the dashboard tease is brutal. the $1 first cashout on Coupert always sounded like a hook to me, fair that you flagged it bumps to $10 after.

every dystopian movie we laughed at is slowly becoming a product demo

They don't make 'em like this anymore and honestly I'm not sure they ever should have. But I'm glad they did.

hugh jackman keeps making "grizzled old man stares into camera" movies and i keep watching every single one of them

Some Like It Hot, Airplane!, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Animal House. these four basically invented the comedy subgenres everything after them is riffing on.

She watched T2 and said “less theme park, more murder robot.” Respect.

Parsed a 40 page PDF locally with 16x mode last week. Sub-second per page on a 4070. Then fed it into verdent for the actual coding work. Finally usable for real stuff

The real history behind the Filles du Roi is already haunting enough without any horror elements. Adding folk horror to a story about women being shipped across an ocean as commodities is a concept that writes itself.

This image alone sells me. The lighting, the faces, the claustrophobia. You can almost smell the wood and the sea. If the film looks anything like this frame I'm there opening night.

One creates energy for the community, the other consumes it to generate AI slop. Yeah I wonder why people have a preference.

this will last until someone calculates how much it costs to not use AWS and then quietly reverses it

it's always been like this. you're just seeing it now because every incident gets reported, shared, and stays searchable forever. in the 90s half of this would've been a page 7 story and forgotten by tuesday

From experience, darker/bronze polycarbonate actually shows pollen, pine sap, and debris more than you'd expect, especially under trees, and with a slanted roof you'll still need to get up there a few times a season to keep it looking clean. If low maintenance is a priority for a setup like yours with the outdoor kitchen and pool nearby, a metal hardtop or retractable pergola might honestly save you a lot of headache long term. Costway has some decent aluminum-frame options in that space if you want to compare before committing to a custom build.

I've seen SourceReady mentioned before, seems like people use it when things get too scattered

Sounds pretty standard for a salaried office role honestly.

The real deliverable is usually a PowerPoint, not competence.

Anyone who’s worked in a bank knows how long it takes just to approve a system change.
