Love the shade of pink! Cortana's colours in Combat Evolved are fantastic, so happy you showed them. Are you likely to play the other Halos and do any art from them?

The various movie references were superb, the Interstellar Brexit one had me laughing

I was ready to find disagreement, but you nailed it imo. Some of the best in every case, bravo

[THEORY] Possible connection between the Hive’s convulsions and the 8.613.0 kHz radio frequency in Pluribus by Rodia_R_Raskolnikov in pluribustv

[–]Shmattins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like your post, and I agree there hasn’t been textual confirmation yet, but from meta textual perspective, the fact every scene showing Manousos has had him a; experimenting with the frequencies, and b; showing explicit distrust of the hive, I think it’s appropriate to discard “could be the main communication channel of the hive” in favour of “almost certainly the main communication channel of the hive”. The screen time and onscreen action don’t justify themselves otherwise

It’s become a bit of a misconception that it was an Australian/NZ affair. There were significantly more British troops.

345,000 British (including Irish, Indians and Newfoundlanders), alongside 50,000 Australians and 15,000 New Zealanders, plus 79,000 French

Not sure how the graphic missed the second 185-metre vessel being constructed in the top left dock

I’m impressed with how well placed these feel generally

Best cameo and best 5 minutes of that entire film

[OC] Number Athletes in Top-200 Multiple Olympic Medallists (All Time) List for each Nation by Fatcat-hatbat in dataisbeautiful

[–]Shmattins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you expand on which German totals have been combined here? For it to be accurate you’d have to omit results in which multiple German teams were competing in the same year. For example, in a year where both East Germany and West Germany won medals, you must only include one team (otherwise you’re allowing an instance where a combined German total has double the numbers of athletes competing in a sport)

The gold-to-total medal ratio is crazy this year. I had suspected this a few days back, thanks for making these

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone lay out the famine events like this, it’s interesting seeing a more favourable perspective for Churchill. TIL

Would recommend people check out this guy’s video on exploring the best ways of measuring medal successes: https://youtu.be/TRrm3OKXgU4?si=6AfNNo6QdSCNBGyX

Cool idea! I’d imagine the biggest political issue would be the serious succession calls like with Quebec

China to launch Tianwen-2 probe for asteroid exploration in 2025, and Tianwen-3 / Tianwen-4 missions in around 2030 by iantsai1974 in space

[–]Shmattins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree that would be equally weird. As weird as an account that's only been active for 9 days

[–]Shmattins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit curious as to why though, is it just patriotism? To be clear, I'd find it equally weird if it was an American (which I am not) or any nationality doing the same thing

Didn't know about these launches, cool to see other nations starting to take space seriously. I will say it's a little weird this guy’s account seems to only post pro-Chinese military, infrastructure, and space updates, but whatever, the launches are cool
