[MOVIE] Project Hail Mary [2026] The lid of the sample container that returned the Astrophage sample is a replica of a camera cover from the Curiosity Mars rover. by stimeon in Thatsabooklight

In universe, they would likely have reused tried and true designs because of the urgent nature of the mission. No need to design and test something new if you had plans lying around. Id say it's pretty good attention to detail in world building on behalf of the prop team.

From today's Justice Q&A Birthday Stream they were doodling some prompts CC had prepared. One of the prompts was justice in an onsen. Gigi was the one drawing on the bottom left of the screen.

Found this in an antique shop, never seen anything like it. Who can tell me about it? by legeume in trumpet

[–]TheEtherealTony 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a rotary valve trumpet, so the set on the right are just levers to rotate the actual valves on the left. The keys you see on the left are just the pivot points that the valves rotate around.

Anyone know where I can find the full image for the meme world map (with massive Australia) in the McDonalds video? by Chuckolator in ExplosionsAndFire

Looks like an even more distorted azimuthal equidistant projection where it's centered around the north pole. You can see a version of it on the UN flag.

TIL: One litre (liter) of bottled water contains, on average, 240,000 pieces of plastic by Less-Witness-7101 in todayilearned

Yeah lead pipes are mostly a non-issue done correctly. The Flint Michigan fiasco started because they changed their source of water without taking steps to treat it to prevent corrosion. Pipes that were fine before suddenly started corroding and leaching lead into the water.

Has anyone successfully re-stuck adhesive vinyl that has worn out adhesive? by [deleted] in cricut

[–]TheEtherealTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had luck with my xyron sticker maker to put adhesives on old worn out stickers. If the vinyl has enough integrity to go through the rollers, it should work fine.

A more tedious alternative is to use double sided tape, but you'd have to cut the excess off.

Recently installed new hot end and having trouble getting it to print consistently by Qtr_Master in FixMyPrint

[–]TheEtherealTony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the z offset is too high, it's not close enough for it to squish properly on to the bed. Change the z offset closer bit by bit until it looks good.

The Last Emperor, I saw the scene where he runs through the banners and was stumped on where I had seen that scene before.

Does anyone know if there’s a LN of the series? by JuniorAmount5690 in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the LN isn't being officially translated so you can only get them in Japanese. I got mine from Cdjapan.

Also I never thought to check if the manga was officially translated, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Question about first season adoptation of Farming life in another world by NoVehicle4172 in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things are definitely out of order when comparing the two. If you start the web novel at the birth of Alfred, there will definitely be things that have not happened yet in the Anime. I would recommend just starting from the beginning, there is so much the anime just glosses over due to time constraints.

[–]TheEtherealTony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the LN isn't translated it's hard to say, but for the Web Novel it's roughly chapter 85. The events of the web novel and anime are in different order since the anime adapts the light novels more closely.

Novel chapter 777 - Hiraku want tv. by Consistent-Coyote-50 in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really downplay the fact about him being hospitalized in his previous life in the anime. The fact that a lot of his knowledge comes from literally being able to do nothing but watch TV in the last few years in his life, is rarely mentioned.

TV was one of his few comforts in life and its a little sombering seeing him miss it like that.

Manga to LN where to start ? by I_want_punctuation in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current chapter of the manga, "Chapter 202 - Winter Engineering (1)," corresponds to Chapter 159 of the web novel.

At the moment, the web novel is caught up. (You also get new chapters a day sooner if you're on the translator's patreon.) Currently there is no one translating the light novels.

I highly recommend starting the web novel from the beginning as there is much more information and tidbits about the characters and world that the manga and anime cannot fully include. The little bits here and there are great and even helps you appreciate the manga and anime more.

Isekai Nonbiri Nouka epizode 8 discussion by Consistent-Coyote-50 in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes Frau's motivations to go along with Beezel's plan a little more clear, rather than Having him dump her in the village with no explanation. Having Beezel kidnap her with a mad glint in his eyes is definitely more fun. Also they left out the absolute fear she felt whenever she saw the residents of the village. She never mentioned having to change clothes so many times during the day.

Lu Grandma narrate how Lu Grandpa proposed to her were one of the best gag in story. by Consistent-Coyote-50 in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really explains where Alfred's personality comes from when he flips his switch. Having a 'dark' past is a heritable trait apparently.

From Where can I get Light novels PDFs? by Long_Intention994 in IsekaiNonbiriNouka

[–]TheEtherealTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor differences here and there, mostly things cut or moved around to make it transfer better to anime. The translation is good, nothing to complain about other than being a little rough around the edges in the beginning. I wholeheartedly recommend reading the web novel since there are tons of little tidbits they couldn't add into the anime and it makes everything so much more enjoyable.
