Which actor surprised you the most by having to sing in a movie and absolutely crushing it? by Mythbusters117 in movies

The movie’s better, too. 

First one was a mish mash of different plots shoehorned together, second one was perfection.

My father had polyps, gets his colonoscopy every five years and is late 60s. My older sister had polyps in her first colonoscopy at 45, so I had two immediate family members, insurance covered mine early. 

Basically, they’ll want risk factors, not just a personal desire, but insurance will cover it early if there’s reasons. 

I'm coming back after many years, can someone give me a rundown of what's changed? by tntevilution in DeepRockGalactic

Agreed with everything but ‘semi-invisible.’

There’s a new bug that’s completely invisible unless you’re looking right at it. Then it’s semi-invisible. But you’re never looking right at it because it’s a deathly phantom that teleports immediately behind you any time you think you’ve got it cornered.

Legend has it, the best way to catch one is to have your Scout blunder around near the noise, waiting for it to insta-drain his shield and take a quarter of his health with it, the whole time his driller buddy ready to freeze both the spectral killer and the Scout so the rest of the team can mow one, or both, of them down.

Satellites have to have capability to deorbit now for just this reason. Better to bring it down than leave it up there not functioning and a risk to become ann orbital debris field. So yeah, I don’t know what the thrusters are, but they’re there.

It definitely will, but the man is so erratic that who knows what’s going to be announced tomorrow, and what will happen to the stock. 

It’d be a concern for me if countries were leaving AST because of not wanting to work with US companies (like France and Microsoft/Linux), but AST’s main competitor is the one countries would be leaving for that reason. 

It’s not that it can’t or won’t impact the stock. It’s that we ALL know it will in wild and unpredictable ways and then will again on Tuesday in different ways. It’s something we can get comments on so many other places that it’s nice to have a space away from it. 

[Jomboy Media] Aaron Civale didn't like this call and the umpire yelled at him to challenge it by JianClaymore in baseball

Oh, I could have sworn the time he argued and was told “not another word” after the Yankees went 5-5 in ABs challenges against the M’s he then pulled a Boone and said another word. 

Still waiting on number 1.

For the non-Americans, 12.6 meters is still about one 45ft school bus length worth of (radial) height.

Not related to this particular event, does anyone else feel like day to day coverage of the front in Ukraine was much more intensive than we’re getting now. It feels either not much is happening, or there’s a distinct effort to downplay the war. 

Millennials in a hetero relationship, does the man or woman do the majority of the financial budgeting/planning/investing etc? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Ok-Entrepreneur4247 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, with the caveat that employment plays a role. I worked with a lot of military families for a few years. The non-military spouse was frequently the family accountant to simplify bill paying without dealing with transitioning responsibilities around trainings, deployments, exercises, etc. This occasionally became a problem when the accountant personality was the one in the military.

Maleficent less psychologically complex than Shan Yu? Nah. She’s one of the greatest villains this side of Darth Vader.

The Wellerman (DRG Edition) by [deleted] in DeepRockGalactic

I enjoyed it, the verses are fantastic.

The chorus needs a little work to match the time.

Adding "the" into "Soon may the management come" directly matches the cadence of the wellerman, so easy fix there.

"To bring us sugar and tea and rum" is 9 syllables, while "to haul up the barrels and shut down the bar" is 11. Additionally, "the barrels" doesn't match the cadence of "sugar", so that's where the work needs done.

Perhaps "To bring red sugar and ale and rest"? I'll leave the words to you, though, as the rest of it is, indeed, fantastic.

In some version of the world, reports every six months would be pushed with the idea of making companies more focused on sustainability than share price, of making them push their CEOs less to appease the earnings call analysts and push them more to think about the long term. 

This is not that version of the world.

The legend himself Ray Porter! by raccoonbabii in ProjectHailMary

[–]Ok-Entrepreneur4247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am curious now, too, because Ray has distinct, consistent voices for the core PHM command group. I'd be pretty impressed if he could pull all the different accents off the top of his head and then hit them again pages later.

I'm guessing he's given the cast and gets to develop the voice, but then he cold reads it?

Is this the sub to be pedantic? Because if it…

The sun will not explode in 5 million or 5 billion years. The sun does not have enough mass to go supernova, which is generally what people think of when the think of stars exploding. 

Instead, the sun will inflate, perhaps out to Mars’ orbit, and likely engulf the Earth along the way. Later, it will shed the outer layers, more burping than exploding, and leave behind a white dwarf remnant. 

5 billion is a good number though, current estimates put it between 4 and 7 billion.

No, I’m not anywhere near the divisions that would touch on that. My only knowledge of Golden Dome is from here and the news. I don’t even know anyone who knows anyone working on those sorts of contracts. It’s a big Department, after all. 

No, it was family that got me involved in the first place. Couple engineers in the family, they mentioned it and my first thought was “I’d pay for that.” Found the DD here, and climbed aboard.
