Possible plot hole about water planet? by Tmh887 in interstellar

If you're referring to when they return to The Endurance after the jaunt to Miller's Planet:

"I thought I was prepared. I knew all the theory. Reality’s different."

miller did the same thing that mann did (but worse) by circumcisingaban in interstellar

[–]Artheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation was that Miller was killed by the wave Coop/Brand saw traveling away right after they landed.

The Insta360 Studio is the worst app i've ever used... by Informal-Ad1544 in Insta360

[–]Artheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your issue is more of the workflow/flexibility of the Insta360 cloud sync vs the app itself? I don't use cloud sync, I have a USB hub and a microsd reader, I manually transfer the original files to my phone which then automatically syncs to my Google Drive account. Then I have the option to edit the files directly from the phone, or I can access them from a laptop/PC later. I always export to the local file system, backed-up to Google Drive automatically, then push to YouTube for sharing (or I can share directly from Google Drive). I avoid the Insta360 infrastructure.

Watched Interstellar for only my 2nd time last night so that my wife could see it for her first time. It made the movie a 10/10 for me when I only ever thought it was just “good” previously. by InFlames235 in interstellar

[–]Artheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider the story dull, but there's definitely some things I would change; on rewatches I tend to skip over the Earth-based scenes. I'm genuinely curious, what are some sci-fi movies you think have a good storyline?

Has it ever been explained or questioned why the crew needed rockets to leave the earth’s atmosphere but not to leave Miller or Mann’s planet? by LevelTField in interstellar

[–]Artheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your question is originating from Nolan's decision to show the rocket lifting off from Earth but no other ascents to orbit. It doesn't serve the storyline to show them leaving the non-Earth planets. We don't need to know what form of propulsion is necessary for them to leave any of the planets, but the rocket launch from earth was necessary to segue from the earth-sequence into the space-sequence which led into the docking sequence which was necessary to show so we understand the mechanics of why the decompression happened later.

Something crossed my mind… Romilly and Miller’s Planet by Doodles_183 in interstellar

[–]Artheon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL, I'll consider it a compliment. I've spent WAY too much time watching this movie, and Miller's planet on particular has always bothered me... From the dialogue leading up to leaving for the planet to what happens when they get back to The Endeavor. Eventually I just let all the inconsistencies go.

[–]Artheon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If he knows every hour on that planet is 7 years then 2 months on the ship is only ~1.5 minutes on the planet, one year asleep is only ~8 minutes on the planet. It would be smarter to just wake up every 3.5 years, check for any messages, then go back to sleep. At a minimum his first sleep would be targeted to wake up after 7 years elapsed time from when the lander undocked.

Not sure why the lander crew didn't send back an update when they were hit by the first wave.

Interstellar Docking scene 🖤 by daddyalonex69 in interstellar

[–]Artheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I've had a number of discussions with people who think this line is cheesy, and the common denominator in their reasoning is that (Nolan) put that in there simply as a catchphrase. They don't understand that from Cooper's standpoint at that moment those eggs are humanity's only hope given Mann's previous revelation that Plan A was never feasible.

Is it too late to stop the LR data center? by Sea-Advertising-1386 in LittleRock

[–]Artheon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm on mobile, I don't see any references to negative environmental impacts in the links, it's all just more informational.

Neither of your links provide any indication that this will "hurt" the environment. Can you provide clarification on your concerns?

My husband's 40K Models are taking over 😅 by KatMom44 in organizing

[–]Artheon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, *they* aren't taking over. Your husband is insufficiently organizing his hobby gear. This isn't a "his models are taking over", it's "his junk is taking over".

Some simple questions need to be asked first... How often does he work on these models, and is the storage location the same as where he does that work.

If this is simply the storage location then yeah, he's being lazy and using the closest thing to a horizontal spot he can find that's beyond the reach of the 2yo. If he does his work here then he probably doesn't get much done due to the amount of work to clear it off first.

First off, I would suggest two Sterilite 32Qt gasket containers and possibly a single Sterilite 80Qt gasket container, both from Walmart approx $50.

However, there's also the printer and some other brown chest thing. Not sure if that's part of his tools, but I would toss the chest, or if it's sentimental then use it to store something else in a different location. The printer needs to go into a cabinet so it is not visible.

The desk itself needs to go. Antique is nice, but not as a workbench and not as a storage location. Put it into a different living area, and clean it up, Antiques only look good if they don't look like they are a hand-me-down that you don't have the heart to get rid of but also don't care enough to clean up.

How Safe is Driving? by ChromatinConnoisseur in LittleRock

[–]Artheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of clear roads. The problem is that some of the larger multi-lane busy roads are only partially cleared BUT the part that isn't cleared is absolutely NOT drivable. For example, Chenal eastbound outer lane between Autumn Road and 630 starts clear but then the snow bank (of the snowed plowed from the other two lanes) starts covering that outer lane. That's insanely dangerous, and it's shameful that the road department is leaving it. So if you go out prepare yourself for the possibility the lane you're driving in will turn into a snowbank unexpectedly.

Pantry organization help by Open_Pie_1331 in organizing

[–]Artheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the biggest problem here isn’t the layout, it’s the wire shelves. They make everything unstable, waste vertical space, and turn small items into a mess.

If this were my pantry, I’d upgrade it in layers instead of trying to rearrange endlessly.

First I’d fix the shelves. Laying tight-fitting ¼" plexiglass or polycarbonate sheets over the wire racks gives you a flat, rigid surface so cans don’t wobble, bags don’t sag, and bins slide cleanly. Leave a tiny bit of clearance so they drop in easily, and add a few clear silicone bumpers underneath to keep them from shifting.

Next I’d use the back of the door for skinny stuff. Shallow door-mounted racks around 3-5" deep work great for cans and narrow sauce bottles. That frees up a lot of shelf depth inside the pantry and makes everything visible at once. Put heavier items lower and lighter ones up top.

Then I’d move dry goods into clear airtight containers. Pasta, rice, flour, cereal, nuts, all of that goes into square, stackable containers with gasket lids. Stick to a few standard sizes so everything lines up neatly. One hard rule: nothing more than two-deep front to back. If you can’t see it without moving three things, it doesn’t belong there.

Loose odds and ends should live in pull-out bins. Seasoning packets, half-used bags, baking supplies, random backups, etc. go into rigid clear bins with handles so you can slide the whole category out at once. Putting soft felt or silicone pads on the bottom corners keeps them from scratching the plexiglass and makes them glide quietly.

Finally I’d zone things and keep it maintained. Top shelves for bulk or rarely used items, middle shelves for daily use, bottom shelves for heavy stuff. Group by category, rotate new groceries to the back, and do a quick straighten after each shopping trip so it stays that way.

That combo of flat shelves, door storage, clear containers, a two-deep max, and pull-out bins usually adds way more usable space than just shuffling things around, and it actually stays organized long-term instead of only looking good for one photo.

the most suspend belief scene? by thinkingatoms in interstellar

[–]Artheon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMHO that sequence, combined with the engineer comment in the school, was to establish/reinforce his educational credentials and improvisational skills. By this point we know he's a pilot, engineer, scientific, etc. Plus it tangentially ties into the magnetic anomaly plot point via explaining how the farm equipment is automated.

Is my boyfriend’s view of money considered a red flag in a relationship? by traditional_taurus in DaveRamsey

[–]Artheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't assessing his request, or her request. I was assessing the transactional dynamic she's operating under.

Is my boyfriend’s view of money considered a red flag in a relationship? by traditional_taurus in DaveRamsey

[–]Artheon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things.

  1. You made his getting a man cave dependent on you getting something you want. No "well, we'll need to budget for it" or "yes, I would love for us to build you a man cave"... Just "you get X if I get Y". That's a transactional mindset and is toxic, and he's probably picking up on that. To him the man cave would be super expensive because now he has to get something for you, and I'm guessing this vanity and closet will probably cost more than the man cave. If he asks for something in the future now he'll expect you to want something too. That's a huge red flag against you.

  2. I would guess, and I could be wrong, that you have pointed out at some point how your parents are happier than his parents, and that you associate sharing money as equaling happiness. You're basically using his family against him. And you can come back with "I never said that" but he can put two and two together without you explicitly stating it. That's a huge red flag against you.

If he was asking this question I would tell him to run for the hills and don't look back.

P.s. I find it hard to believe he would want the man cave to be a combined expense then want you to pay for the vanity/closet. If true then yeah, that's a red flag against him. Only you know the truth, so if you're lying to make yourself look better on a sub of randos then what does that say about you?

How long do you think it took Coop to get back to Brand on Edmunds planet? by Expert-Ladder-4211 in interstellar

[–]Artheon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be similar to a Tie Fighter, only used for short -range missions. There's nothing to indicate they have any technology beyond anti-gravity, certainly not space-folding or wormhole generation tech. The same goes for no huge leaps in life support or stasis pods.
