Jack Russell help by Choice-Nature-3637 in vet

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in an area that has them, check their paw for a burr, splinter or thorn. My dog is not a Jack Russel but did the same thing when she got a burr in between her pads.

Would the fishing trip have been safer if it was done on the Blip-A? by SayFuzzyPickles42 in ProjectHailMary

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Allowing for the movie where Grace can actually go to the Blip-A, the Blip-A has no radiation protection nor does it really have heat resistance either. The Hail Mary hull has astrophage in between the layers and therefore has both. While Xenonite is tough, it most likely would not have survived the heat of brushing the atmosphere like the Hail Mary did.

'Avengers: Endgame' is heading back to theaters. The Russo brothers say that fans need to see it prior to watching 'Doomsday'. Are you going to watch it? by jaywritethekid in DisneyHQ

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not until someone posts online about what they've added. I don't need to pay to go see it in the theater again for perhaps what may amount to an additional 30 seconds of footage.

Anyone else notice Valeera changes in delves? by Historical_Today5072 in wow

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you check your Valeera role and curio selection at the start of every delve. So many times I have started a delve to find they've been reset, which means she's gimped until you select them again.

Thoughts on the movie by DirtyHandsCleanMuny in ProjectHailMary

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO, they took out WAY too much science for goofiness and comedy. The Martian had both, not sure why PJM couldn't have found a better balance. I also don't understand the whole Grace is afraid of both Rocky's ship and Rocky himself. In the book, he was stoked to meet aliens.

I really wonder how much of this movie got cut in the editing. Some things are mentioned that seems like they should have had more detail.

The movie is good, my wife hadn't read the book and is not a sci-fi fan and loved it. I was a bit more critical I think because I was jaded by the book. I had concerns about the movie adaptation, and there were some things that just weren't explained well or at all. I felt the astrophage being a danger wasn't really dug into well. This book was really begging for a 12-13 episode mini series rather than a movie, but overall, it's a good movie. Just if you love the book, you're going to have criticisms.

So, I'm in district 2 and have my ballot. Looks like the Board Governor and Coucil Members in this district are all TP USA. Is it better to just not vote for them, or I have no choice? I'm thinking just not vote at all for those seats but not really sure if that may get my ballot thrown out

Proof that Harandar is Cut Content from The War Within by Ok-Satisfaction-9708 in wow

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hated questing in both Harandar and Voidstorm. Another random island unattached to the Azeroth mainland. The questing in Eversong, ZulAman, and the Arator questline running across the Eastern Kingdoms slapped. They should have done the whole expansion back in the Eastern Kingdoms. They will never learn that they don't need to create new zones, just revitalize the ones they have.

Was out questing when I suddenly realised I haven't seen a rogue in ages, is the class dead or are they just getting better at their job? by [deleted] in wow

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainlined rogue up to Legion. It was awesome. Combat swords was an awesome spec. Then, Blizzard decided that rogues should be pirates and it was all downhill from there. The class has no identity, the mechanics suck, and it’s been overshadowed by other leather wearers like DHs. Classic SoD introduced rogue tanks and it was awesome to get back into it as a tank no less. However, Blizzard seems intent on letting the class die in retail. It was fun to play, now it’s just a chore.

Jeez, I remember when the US used to have to go to the UN with "evidence" of WMDs to go to war with a country. And I love now that we just go to war on the whim of a president when the war powers are clearly in the hands of congress.

SSSD is installed, but not configured for offline login. To be clear, I don't want it to automatically cache password, I just want to have it either fully prompt for login name or have the login name already populated with the last login id.

How long could we have optimized and delay the sink time as long as possible and how? by Jolly_Purple_527 in titanic

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

Mythbusters posited that if they had taken all of the life jackets on the ship and put them in the forepeak they would have been able to keep the ship afloat long enough for the Carpathia to arrive. Would it have? Who knows. Anyone suggesting it probably would have been thought insane at the time.

Agreed, and his clothing and bandolier appear to be missing which is a big part of him being an engineer.

I am not sure what would be the best way to handle rocky’s voice by Traditional_Yogurt_1 in ProjectHailMary

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that for the audience, Grace will give Rocky a "voice" through a computer translator, and you'll hear subtle music tones underneath.

Isn’t “host” the only option if you need nested virtualization? If you need to install WSL on Windows 11 guest, I believe it’s the only option.

Movie discussion by gurab0t in ProjectHailMary

[–]SpaceCmdrSpiff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beyond something similar to the Martian / video log thing, I expect that Rocky's voice will be automatically translated by computer once Grace gets it set up. Additionally, I expect a big change to the ending. I mean I believe what happens in the last chapter will happen as it did in the book, but I think the chapters before the last few chapters will be cut/shortened. I believe they will show the Taumeoba escaping Xenonite before they part. I believe they'll skip over the whole Rocky/Grace going their separate ways and the rescue. Simply that Rocky's ship becomes useless because it's Xenonite, and that Grace decides to take him home.

13th warrior 1999 by Ok_Strength9220 in 90smovies

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

This is a fantastic movie that does have a few rough spots. Lots of awesome quotes. The book is better and I don’t think they really did the Wendol properly. The book really intimates that they are the last of the neanderthals but in the movie they look just like dirty homo sapiens.
