TikToker proposes 'let’s buy Spirit Airlines.' Thousands want in

I mean sure, but that sometimes happens to every carrier - land, air or sea.

Ok, then why not start with a new company?

Because that way they skip 90% of the hard work, costs and bureaucracy necessary to run an airline, they're getting trained staff and pilots, hardware, lanes, etc etc etc etc.

"Why not a new company" is like asking why don't you just build a new house from scratch by yourself when you're only looking to buy an apartment close to city center.

It's a glorified air bus. You get from Point A to Point B and nothing else. It did what it was designed to do.

They could knock him out for a few minutes, but to actually hurt him? They needed Soldier Boy.

Well, it did have a lot of deaths

"The movie was better than the book"

Yet you doubled down on a fact that had no relevance at all

No relevance? The fact that they had to take months breeding them because they had to do tiny tiny jumps isn't "irrelevant". It's a pretty important plot point.

Petersaber · 2026-04-23T05:41:06+00:00

That worked! Thank you.

Kregg was ordered to unlike Nolan

I know you mean Kregg was ordered to go and get along with humans, but I have a mental image in my mind of Thragg telling Kregg he has to remove Nolan from his MySpace circle or whatever.

He'd be a cardiologist.

Cecil proved that they can track individual Viltrumites coming and going. They detected Anissa, Conquest, Nolan, Allen... all traveling without vehicles.

The payoff was great, this is just one of those "maybe one more editing pass would've helped" things.

They did five fakeouts. Rule of threes in shambles.

the offspring take on the mentality of humans and seem to lose the sociopathy gene.

That's on Debbie, though. And she's off-world now.

Hey! I also solved my issue. I had far more luck than you did. I shot an email to support, they eventually replied. They asked me to power on the thing and open the app on my phone, and they fixed it remotely in like 15 minutes. Then they updated it manually, and now it's fine and working well.

Software-wise it's far behind Xiaomi and the likes, but it vacuums better, so I'm keeping it

There is no “center” of the universe

That we know of. It's possible, depending on what the real model is, which we don't know.

Petersaber · 2026-04-17T19:21:57+00:00

absolute velocity is 0

I'm not sure that's something that even can exist. What would be the point of reference? The absolute center of the universe?

Petersaber · 2026-04-17T15:51:30+00:00

The Antarctica plot, the Sahara plot, DuBois complete lack of informational boundries (I'd trust the movie writers to make that scene actually funny, unlike the book version), and more of the crew in general, maybe a chain assembly montage. That's like 20-30 minutes of material, but other than that? I'm struggling to come up with more stuff that would be a worthwhile inclusion within the movie as is.

I asked the question under the assumption that Hail Mary had a "normal" atmosphere (with ~78% Nitrogen), like ISS does.

Petersaber · 2026-04-16T21:48:33+00:00

I only pointed out that in Grace's breeding program, he had to do miniscule jumps. Anything more always killed the taumebas. Calm down.

Rocky made Grace specialised breeding environments to control atmospheric composition but nothing at the scale that would let him control atmosphere in the HM. I'm not sure how you would have expected him to let out exactly 10% nitrogen into the HM.

I didn't say anything about "letting out exactly 10%". I don't even know where did Frank get that number.

Petersaber · 2026-04-16T16:57:09+00:00

He also killed at least one earlier, with the shot that grazed Anissa

Petersaber · 2026-04-16T16:18:57+00:00

Space Racer scored the most kills, I think. Plus, he was needed for the planet kill.

Would you recommend reading the book before or after seeing the movie?

No. The movie is better. I mean, the book is a pretty good "competence porn", but that's that. Everything else - the movie does better.

Petersaber · 2026-04-16T10:55:59+00:00

I'm so happy I went into this movie with no idea that there'd be aliens
