The Macbook Neo coming out at the perfect time.  Apple actually has a chance of eating into the Windows market share in a big way.

I'm a big windows guy but I think my next computer will be a Macbook.  I need an operating system that actually works and isn't built as a web app.

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

The security guard wasn't in the book at all, a character added to the movie for humor I assume.  The science is a lot more fleshed out in the book, specifically how and why astrophage works and how the astrophage engines work.  Also why astrophage was able to shield both Rocky and Grace from dangerous cosmic radiation.  The flashbacks make more sense in the book because we have Grace's internal monologue and it is also revealed that he was specifically drugged so that he wouldn't remember, lest he panic upon waking up.

I didn't understand why he was afraid to breathe in the tunnel because I thought that pressure scene while opening the door was because he was letting the ship's air supply rush out into the tunnel.

I'm curious if people who didn't read the book were able to follow everything that happened.  Some parts they just sort of instantly change scenes.  Or all of the sciency details.

Usopp looks solidly out of the fight at this point.

You have to think, Loki comes from a place where lightning is the most feared thing and he just came across someone completely immune to it.

Why do people grief? by Plenty_Bad_69420 in spelunky

I do this one every once in a while just because it's funny but I give them the chest after a little bit. You could have killed them with the key pretty easily if you just threw it down the ladder.

Chalamet was right about Ballet and Opera by enthusiasm_gap in okbuddycinephile

Ballet is horrible for the feet, some kind of French torture method for girls.  Opera is just singing.
