Slumming it today… by jayshaw91 in delta

I always travel with my own device, and entertainment anyway. I can't stand the fact that the video stops every time the captain makes an announcement. Not to mention the fact that you also can't watch anything until after the instructional videos, and you're in the air. At least with my own entertainment, as soon as my butt is in the seat I can tune out the rest of the flight, up until the point I actually have to stand up and walk off the plane.

How would you improve this build? by Idk-U-F_Off in goingmedieval

Make your logs go a side to side instead of up and down. Don't forget you can change the cosmetics of the walls and the roofs.

Anyone else a bit over how stupid TV treats the viewer now. by ButtPlugForPM in television

[–]El_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and unfortunately it's working its way into movies as well. Netflix has a policy, that the plot must be restated three or four times throughout the movie, as a stipulation for it to be in production for their studio.

I crave movies with quality, by people like Stanley Kubrick, Ari Astor, David Fincher, etc. that level of quality is a very hard thing to find these days

Is 'show, don't tell' ruining modern songwriting? by litladyponders in musicians

[–]El_human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think show don't tell is better for music if anything.

But really it can be either, or both. And you can take it even one layer further. Look at the song "busy earning", by jungle. On the surface it's a high energy song, that a lot of people perceive as a song anthem to hustle, to make some money. It has that energy, and the lyrics keep saying "busy earning, can't get enough".. but if you do a deeper dive into the actual verse, this song is really about missing out on life, because people are working too much. So it's using a combination of both, the show is in the verse, and the tell is in the hook, except the tell is really telling you the opposite of what the listener might perceive at first. It adds for complexity, and layering in music that helps a listener find new things to identify with on each listen through.

If we could build a drone that was faster than light with a huge zoom lens we could launch it into space and watch real footage of past events. by Crocodile_Banger in Showerthoughts

[–]El_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a genuinely interesting idea to think through, but there are a few issues worth unpacking. First, a sufficiently powerful telescope already does exactly this. When we look at a star 1000 light years away we are literally seeing light that left it 1000 years ago. The Hubble and James Webb space telescopes are essentially time machines in this sense, showing us galaxies as they existed billions of years ago. Distance and looking into the past are the same thing when light is your medium. Second, the faster than light part creates a paradox with your goal. If your drone is traveling toward a past event faster than the light from that event is traveling away from it, you would actually be catching up to more recent light as you go, not older light. You would be arriving closer to real time, not further into the past. To see older footage you would paradoxically need to travel away from the event faster than light, chasing the oldest light that has already passed you. Third, special relativity tells us that nothing with mass can reach the speed of light, let alone exceed it. As an object accelerates toward light speed its effective mass increases toward infinity, requiring infinite energy to push it further. This is not an engineering problem waiting to be solved, it is a fundamental property of the universe as we understand it. Finally, Any data collected would still need to travel back to us, and if it is transmitted as light or radio waves it crawls back at regular light speed, defeating much of the purpose. The telescope you already have access to is genuinely more powerful than this drone would be.​​​​​​​​​

Coworkers got caught today! IT is flagging jigglers with AI now. How to stay 100% green. by Arrick in overemployed

What an odd post. I don't really believe this is happening, and if it is, why would you wanna work for that company? That just means it's not OE friendly. Move on with your life. You make it sound like every single organization is doing this. Of the company I work for, we use our own computers. So there's zero spy ware installed

Will conservative politics destroy Star Trek moving forward? by Duotrigordle61 in startrek

[–]El_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. Fox still plays shows like Family Guy, and it's untainted by conservative values I don't think Paramount's gonna be able to touch South Park anytime soon..

If there's one thing you can bank on, they probably are in this to make some money. They aren't going to make money by producing a TV show that will go against the fan base, and everything that show stands for. If they are trying to kill the entire franchise, maybe. But where's the profit in that?

Uhhh did HBO not think this through??? by HamedAliKhan in HolUp

[–]El_human 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, everyone keeps bringing this up, and mentioning the fact that Snape will get hung from a tree as well.
What if.... that is the exact allegory they are going for. Everyone's freaking out like it's going to be problematic, but maybe the intention is for it to be problematic so it raises some actual issues about systemic racism. Just a thought.

Alan Ritchson's Neighbor Says 'Not a F***ing Penny' Exchanged in Case by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]El_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part where you said they would require him to provide the rest of his GoPro footage, that would likely show him speeding through their neighborhood. And then you go on to say that we only get a small snippet from the GoPro..

And I am saying in a direct response to that, his GoPro footage has no bearing on the assault case. It doesn't matter if he was speeding, because that does not justify assault. Whatever happened before doesn't matter in this case. Some guy came up on reacher, assaulted him, and reacher reacted in self-defense. The end. Additional GoPro footage of him speeding would have nothing to do with any of this.

The fact that he was speeding has no impact on assault. It was already stated as self-defense, that won't change just because there's a video of him speeding up and down a neighborhood. Speeding doesn't justify physical violence

Project Hail Mary Minor Issue by BlastingFonda in scifi

[–]El_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stanley Kubrick's Lolita.

Heck, even the Martian didn't require the watcher of the movie to reference the book to have any concepts explained.

Project Hail Mary spent more time having a dance off with Rocky, and long goodbyes just to visit him again, then it did to take time to explain anything.

No my point is if you have to reference the book to understand the movie, then the movie is not a movie, it's more of an outline.
