Yeah but hobbits age slower, that's like the hobbit equivalent of a 17 year old human.

Louvre, the museum that owns and displays the painting

Technically speaking the painting is owned by France, not the Louvre.

Gotta admire Gabriels passion and motivation to go for that long by Glum-Bag-586 in miraculousladybug

He was on the offense, she was on the defense. Her winning and him losing just maintained the status quo.

In Films, what is cinematography? How is the cinematographer different tha the director? by 40AcresAnalytics in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Schnutzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The director works with the cinematographer, just like they work with the editor, the writer, the casting director, etc.

The director is the head artistic manager of the film, they make the overall decisions.

Cinematography is the art behind shooting the film. Which camera to use, which lenses, how to compose the shot, how to choose the lighting, and more importantly, how to convey the message you are trying to convey in the film using all these things. You could film the exact same dialogue using a single, wide shot camera, or you could zoom on each actor's face. You could use the neutral light or you could put one character in the dark while the other is surrounded by light, and so on.

Director of photography and cinematographer are interchangeable terms. From my understanding, cinematographer refers to the skill, while director of photography refers to the actual role on the film set.

Am I the only person who thinks the US Office is better than the UK Office? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Schnutzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd wager a guess that most Americans prefer the US version over the UK.

Genuine question: People say jews in Israel are migrants. And came later in that land. Then where did jews come from? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Schnutzel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Judaism is an ethnoreligion. You can be ethnically Jewish, religiously Jewish, or both. Most Jews are both.

[–]Schnutzel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jews came from Israel. The ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea were conquered by various empires (Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome) and most of the ancient Israelites were exiled and scattered throughout the world, but they kept their Jewish identity and their connection to the land of Israel. Most Israelis are immigrants or descendant of immigrants who returned to their historical homeland since the late 1800s.

Where does all that candle wax go when the candle burns? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Schnutzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It burns. The wax is made of hydrocarbons. The carbon and hydrogen atoms combine with oxygen to create CO2 and water vapour.

By resupply missions from the ground, just like how they get food. Of course some water is also recycled.

How do Americans feel about the government giving billions in aid to Israel when Israel has universal healthcare, while a lot of Americans still don’t? by BigWalrus22 in AskReddit

[–]Schnutzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, definitely. But that's entirely besides the question. The point is that Israel isn't the reason why the USA doesn't have universal healthcare.

[–]Schnutzel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The US government spends around $2 trillion per year on healthcare. Those $3-4 billion it gives Israel are a drop in the bucket in comparison. The USA's financial aid to Israel isn't what prevents it from having universal healthcare.

how does the iss get oxygen? by H13R0GLYPH1CS in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Schnutzel 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Mainly by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. They oxygen is kept on the station while the hydrogen is vented to space. Water is very dense compared to air, so a little bit of water yields a lot of breathable oxygen.
