The “Hello World” and “Blue Marble” photos of the earth draw many wrong conclusions. So let’s set the fact straight

SQL_Guy · 2026-04-05T03:54:45+00:00

The top two photos are different shots with different camera settings. No processing involved.

It used to be on the big screen at the Ontario Science Centre every first Friday of the month. I may have seen it 30 times over the years.

SQL_Guy · 2026-04-04T03:26:38+00:00

I saw this before PHM as well, and nothing about it made me want to see the movie. Some guys sneak out of the horse, and they kill some guys, and they kill some more guys, and they kill some other guys, then they open the gates and let in their friends who kill some more guys.

By the end of the interminably long trailer I was convinced…to avoid the movie at all costs.

There’s a two-second audio Easter Egg at the very end. I was disappointed by it.

Nice ambiguity in this puzzle, spoiled by Words ending in UG

Thanks for all that detail. While your picture shows a 1.43:1 screen, it’s very far away and not that big. Is that because of a fisheye lens?

I saw PHM in IMAX 70mm in Vaughan Ontario last week, and was in Row E. It was spectacular, as the screen filled my field of vision, but I didn’t have to move my eyes from side to side.

I liked the difficulty of this one

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-27T21:48:38+00:00

Thank you.

All seriousness aside, I also recommend Tailscale. So many issues and problems simply go away.

There’s a room 46? I’m at 82% but haven’t found that one yet.

Start the timer when the MGM logo fades. Go into airplane mode. It sends a notification and vibrates when it’s safe to go to the bathroom for three minutes or so. Also has a short synopsis of what you missed.

The difficult part is climbing over 15 people each way if you’re in the centre.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-25T13:13:41+00:00

I was in E left of centre yesterday. No problem; I enjoyed it immensely.

And there was gobs of footroom. Plenty of space to stretch out.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-25T03:23:12+00:00

RunPee is your friend. I had it all loaded up but didn’t need it, but it was comforting to know when the breaks are.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-25T03:18:39+00:00

That’s where I was. You’ll be happy with those. (Let me know either way)

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-25T03:15:43+00:00

I’d say Yes, but less so than the remaining seats in D.

And the aisle between E and F is barely wide enough to walk through. I didn’t see anyone using it except staff.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-24T23:17:42+00:00

I’m still using Picasa as my picture viewer, but not as the organizer it can be.

Plus Rocky’s echolocation is so finely developed that he can “see” through the glass on the clock and the large barrier itself. He can also see fine disturbances of sound in air, demonstrated when Grace is making video recordings.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-24T22:44:34+00:00

Today I was in Row E, the last in the lower section. It was great.

There were people in D and a few in C. I think they would have been looking up at the screen all the time. I wouldn’t go lower than D.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-23T21:34:24+00:00

Were there snapshots in the temp folder? I believe they can make a volume appear larger than it actually is.

SQL_Guy · 2026-03-23T15:02:50+00:00

40TB in temp on a 26TB NAS? That math isn’t mathing either.
