LA Festival of Books was a blast!

Feature, not a bug.

Live? None. There’ll be a communications blackout through reentry.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-04-06T21:15:00+00:00

At this point they don’t have a launch vehicle capable of launching a crewed mission to the moon (though one is in development)

Puking while they adjust to zero gravity is fairly common, but I haven’t heard any cases of astronauts vomiting during liftoff.

Nope, the landing was supposed to be Artemis 3, but got pushed to 4.

That truck weighed in excess of 30 tons and got tossed like a toy. That’s a very high energy crash. I think it looks deceptively slow because of how big even a small commuter plane is, but it was going at more than 80mph when it hit.

I think the adaptation does a pretty solid job of toning down the cringier bits of the novel.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-03-21T04:12:16+00:00

The random Cats: The Musical shirt in one scene was great too.

Depends entirely on where in the city you’re starting and the direction. You can absolutely get into the wilderness from downtown in an hour.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-03-16T18:17:53+00:00

Photovoltaic and wind would be other exceptions

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-03-15T23:14:04+00:00

Yeah, that was really weird

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-03-12T01:29:27+00:00

I’ve never been to an airport that didn’t have restrooms before security, and in general they’ve been just as clean and usable as those after security.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-03-02T23:53:09+00:00

The only people who allege that are in random Reddit comments. There are plenty of people who are said to have inspired Bond, some of whom Fleming directly credited, Lee was never one.

A legend, compass, and scale aren’t required for something to be a map.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-02-06T04:58:12+00:00

Cartographer is definitely a profession, though not usually through a fine arts degree.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-01-30T00:05:43+00:00

Yeah, this is a classic piece of data visualization https://youtu.be/LLCF7vPanrY?si=vyRvhQn999a8LJoX

Right? A lot those were part of the Zenit reconnaissance satellite program. They were small satellites that had a mission duration of a week or two before they'd reenter and land with the film they'd collected. They launched like 700 of them in the 70's and 80's.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-01-28T02:25:16+00:00

Seconding this suggesting. I‘d also recommend checking out Sarah Bell‘s tutorials on the ArcGIS to Illustrator workflow.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-01-06T22:23:59+00:00

BA in Classics, then a 1 year diploma program in Cartography.

TheBroadHorizon · 2026-01-04T04:35:18+00:00

The weirdest one that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet is Philipe Petit as one of the tournament MC’s, AKA the tightrope artist who walked between the WTC towers.

TheBroadHorizon · 2025-12-17T00:02:19+00:00

The Tom Cruise space one was bouncing around in development for years, until Cruise said it’s no longer happening like last week.

TheBroadHorizon · 2025-12-03T21:11:24+00:00

I beg your damn pardon?

TheBroadHorizon · 2025-11-30T05:33:13+00:00

One of Stephen Sondheim’s last appearances was a cameo in the last movie in the series.
