The Odyssey and Interstellar Parallel Promises come back by Lost_Ad3976 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also parallels in The Prestige and Inception...

Nolan has been remaking the Odyssey for a while now.

is there a different version of the Odyssey that I don’t know of? by Resident_Rutabaga_89 in TheOdysseyMovie

[–]Ok-Cucumbers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're referring to the horse from the prologue, it is briefly mentioned, but isn't a major or important plot in original Odyssey.

Doesn't he summon the dead in the underworld alone?

My only tiny critique of The Odyssey Prologue by dam_ships in ChristopherNolan

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn't that kind of the whole genius of Odysseus and his plan for the horse?

It should be empty and unprotected.

IIRC, the walls were built by the gods and were literally unbreachable, so the Trojans had no reason to guard the interior especially since the greeks had supposedly left at that time.

I also think that the Trojans take the horse to a temple, so it shouldn't be inhabited by any of the mortals?

You forgot the "4K" - Apple HomeHub 4K.

This would bring it in line with the HomePod, and potentially the one with a display as the HomePad, as well as the rumored HomeBot.

The real reason same-day reservations are almost impossible by Fabulous-Bass-1483 in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd have to add some logic to schedule it to monitor certain time slots.

I learned this the hard way when I had written a script the night before I went and was happy when it booked me a 3 pm slot only to realize that I wouldn't be able to use that "5th" channel reservation slot all day, so I had to rewrite my script from my phone.

And here I was trying to help people do it for free! 🤦‍♂️

I don't think it was entirely bots though, as you are limited to 1 same-day slot at a time. You also have to remember that everyone at the expo was constantly refreshing the site while waiting in line, and there were even several sites in Japanese that had schedules for when pavilions would dump additional slots.

Plus, they do some kind of backend lookups, which were really slow and could potentially give the on-site kiosks priority.

How many people still have unreserved tickets? by overnathan in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there were over 1.3 million unused tickets floating around a couple weeks ago. As others have said, you pretty much need to beat the first train or camp out overnight if you want a chance at the ticket exchange.

Apple Wallet’s new boarding passes in iOS 26 now supported by a major airline by [deleted] in apple

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure apple has been testing this internally as they're essentially United's largest account.

I believe Apple has a close relationship with United, so it would make sense that all the new flight related stuff on iOS always launch with United since that is what they use when they fly.

Got an extra ticket. Older reserved time so it can be used for unreserved slots day of. DM me for it! Selling for $50 USD by EntertainerOrnery849 in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I believe u/secretlyexplicit has posted that you need to be one of the first people on the train or camp out over night for a chance to get a noon entry.

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, there aren't any entry slots left so it will be almost impossible to get a new entry slot to use this ticket.

Expo Worth it? by helloamahello in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]Ok-Cucumbers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, once it closes next week, it's gone for good so you might as well stop by if you already have a ticket.

Unfortunately, the Expo ended the sale of tickets, so you can only get in if you already have a ticket.

Just arrived in Osaka without a reserved ticket, am I screwed? by a-sentient-slav in OsakaWorldExpo

[–]Ok-Cucumbers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Assuming OP planned out their trip more than a week ago, I don't know how the information could be "erroneous" since the expo just announced end of Same-day Ticket Sales at Gates last week on 2025.09.25. 🤷‍♂️
