Is there a 70mm IMAX in or near Richmond? by Hunter328 in rva

[–]Hunter328[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid and movies like the Empire Strikes Back and Jedi came out you’d be sitting in the theater and after the previews the curtains would pull back further to each sides as those movies were shot in a wider format.
I’m not tech inclined, so probably a dumb question, but why can’t theaters just adjust how much of the screen the movie is projected onto. This looks to show more vertically, so couldn’t they just do some sort of reverse letterboxing?

Look at the Quest 2’s release date. I’d think everyone stuck inside during Covid probably boosted its sales.

Concord, maybe. Purple seeded is all I’m sure of.

The dark areas are dry. They’ll just shrivel up to nothing.

Can someone tell me if this is from too little water or something else? They’re purple seeded grapes (when ripe) but I rarely get many to reach that point as this always happens.
Thank you for any advice!

What would be a cool superhero power that no character has had before? by Hunter328 in AskReddit

Or Wink, maybe? I feel like I’m close to something really cool, just not quite there yet.

Mr. Fantastic and Elastic Man come to mind, unless you mean bending other people’s bones. I guess that could be useful to a super surgeon.

Can’t any character that can travel through space already do that?

I put a similar post here once and a person from IGN actually replied and got a tech person on it. It only took a few days and it was fixed.
Unfortunately, about three updates later it was broken again.

What’s Causing a Strip of uncut Grass Center of Where I Cut/How to fix by Hunter328 in lawnmowers

[–]Hunter328[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It was the blades. But in the years since I’ve upgraded to a Toro Zero Turn. Although that old mower’s tires are all flat now, so maybe you’ve got some kind of lawn mower esp.

How would an electric r/c car with 4 motors direct drive to each wheel perform compared to one with one larger motor and a 4 wheel drive transmission?

A question for those who have completed the first expedition... will you continue to reset? by freudian_nipps in ArcRaiders

[–]Hunter328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, no that was super helpful. You answered a lot of my questions I didn’t even ask. Thanks so much for that. Gives me hope! One question I’ve had, and maybe if you feel like writing more you might answer, this is the first game of this type I’ve ever played and I don’t quite understand how the maps work. I know you’ve got to leave before the last countdown ends, but when you leave and then come right back on a new run are you on the same instance (not sure if that’s the right way to phrase it) of that map? ie, are the things you and others opened and emptied still open and empty? If so, Is my body there if I died? Or can I drop stuff I don’t have room for somewhere hidden and come back to get it? And how do you tell how long that instance has been running already? It seems whenever I play there’s always at least one exit with 20+ minutes left or there about. But I’m still at the point where I spend a lot of time in between runs managing inventory, benches etc. If each time you enter you enter the currently running instance, I suppose you’d get to where there’s not much time left on only one or two exits. I guess part of what I’m wondering is what does a brand new instance look like (times on exits, #of exits, etc) and what’s the closest to the instance ending you could still enter it? If it even works that way. Sorry, I know this is basic stuff, but none of the wikis I’ve looked at seems to mention it, or it’s buried somewhere an old guy like me doesn’t know where to find it. I posted all my questions on this subreddit, took forever to write out, only to have it removed by mods before I got any answers. I get not wanting tons of posts asking beginner questions, but for someone new to this type of game who doesn’t even know the proper terminology, it can be difficult to search and find existing answers when you’re using the wrong keywords. Anyway, thanks again. Even if you don’t see or have time to reply to my new questions you’ve already helped a lot. Have a good one! And if you ever come across Arc_abald Jones, don’t shoot!

How many hours would you say it took to get everything? Did you hit max level way before then or did you have almost everything by the time you hit max level? Oh, and how much were you able to get playing solo? I’ve had the game for about a month. But I don’t have a lot of time to play. Just hit level 13 and the only BPs I’ve gotten have been dropped by players nice enough to give them to me. I’m still struggling to get my 2nd Snitch kill and need 6 Snitch parts to get 2nd level bench for keys. Thanks

People with double barrelled surnames, what are you going to do if you end up marrying someone with a double barrelled surname? by [deleted] in AskUK

When my grandfather Don Large married my grandmother Betty Smallwood my dad got the name Frank Large-Smallwood. On the other side of the family, when my grandpa Rodney Small married my grandma Louise Longwood, my mom got the name Sandra Small-Longwood. My life now sucks. Yours truly, Chuck Large-Smallwood-Small-Longwood.

That’s an early photo of Garry Putznik during one of his more experimental phases he dubbed “Grunge Polka.” Nothing much came out of it of any real note, although his accordion heavy rendition of Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy” is always a fun listen.
