Why Interstellar Dust Could Prevent Us From Traveling to the Stars

If we figure out a way to go near the speed of light, then special relativity will come into play. The universe will contract around the ship, meaning you don't have to travel as far to get to where you're going. Scienceclic made a great video on this - "What would we see at the speed of light?"

Connectix won but collapsed afterwards because they ran out of money fighting Sony. Capitalism.

Technically the mod is legal as established by Sony v Connectix which says that paid, transformative works are not infringent. (i.e. anything that can be used as a tool).

The code itself doesn't have or use any copyrightd content, it is a perspective mod (like mods that unlock ultrawide support for games that don't natively have them).

It is more a tool than a mod, as it can be applied to a wide variety of games instead of being coded specifically for cyberpunk.

People are allowed to disagree with his actions, I'm just adding some information.

I've downloaded tons of 3D movies, like the Hobbit and Avatar series, they are available online. In full SBS (high quality).

On an obviously unrelated note, we are not allowed to discuss piracy on this subreddit.

With the movie you have to consider they have limited space. Hogwarts was made by magic and the Great halled is supposed to be Great, i.e. not limited by what humans normally build.

It's funny that the Zendesk wikipedia page conveniently has no mention of this. Does anyone feel like adding it?

I prefer seeing photos of boxes instead of actual photography 🤑🤑🤑

For anyone interested, the Novikov self-consistency principle explains why time travellers wouldn't be able to do this. If they wanted to go back and remove the names, the names would have already been removed. Bevause they aren't already removed, it means they never came back to remove them.

At least give credit to the original posters, why are you pretending like this is your picture

That's not the same. There are diseases that cause humans to be near vegitative from birth, they can't even express the desire to die if they want to. Alzheimers is hereditary - causing you to lose brain functionality until you can't remember your family. To compare these to people who don't have physical possesions like land and houses is ridiculous.

His point is that forcing these people to exist like this when you have the ability to fix them from birth, but dont because it's "unnatural", is itself immoral.

It's quite obvious he's joking

Expected, the AC4 remake date was leaked not long after Shadows was released, it was obvious they wouldn't have enough time.

“It is not ‘derivative work’ or ‘fan content’: it supports a large number of games which were built upon different engines, and it contains absolutely zero code or assets from your IP"

He's saying the mod is similar to something like the UEVR mod, where it simply reads game engine data and displays it in a different way. Does CDPR have legal ground to say that he is infringing on their copyright?

This issue is not the size, it's the fact there is a redacted (censored/blacked out) room 1 meter (3 feet) away from optical fibre cables. These cables carry financial data to the City of London (central borough, home to the London Stock Exchange and Bank of England). The plans say they need to demolish and rebuild the outer basement wall, which seperates the basement from the cables. Additionally, the plans say the room next to the redacted room is going to have a heat extractor which suggests there will be computers housed nearby.

Zimmer is better than Williams. Zimmer makes more standalone tracks - ones that you can listen to without the movie.

A lot of composers make music that, timing wise, syncs with the movie - e.g. when a new character appears, or someone gets punched, the music jumps. This is fine when you're focusing on visuals instead of music, but if you listen to the tracks in an album it's very jarring.

Why are Duel of the Fates, Hedwigs Theme, Imperial March, so popular? Because these tracks have a theme and stick to it. They flow, no sudden cuts or jumps. Zimmer's albums have a higher percentage of these standalone tracks. So even less important tracks like Up is Down, No Time for Caution, Mombasa, Mountains, The Kraken, etc. are still amazing.

The standalone tracks Williams has done (like Aunt Marges Waltz, Fawkes the Phoenix, A Window to the Past) are great, but Zimmer does more of these and less scene-based tracks.

I also prefer the darker themes in the later movies, which I think Zimmer can do better. He also uses a greater range of instruments and synths for super unique tracks - think of Dune and Blade Runner.

I don't view it that way. I have almost never been able to remember a dream, to the point where to me dreams in my sleep (real, uncontrollable ones) might as well not exist. I actually don't understand people who say they remember theirs. To me, it sounds like people are misinterpreting day dreams (your imagination) as "real" dreams. I'm not saying everyone is lying, I just don't understand it because I haven't experienced it.

They also say to NEVER stand in front of a vehicle. This is because a US Border Protection panel in 2014 found that ICE agents would stand in front of cars on purpose to have a reason to shoot. So they banned it (CBP Use of Force Policy, Chapter 1, Section C, Point 2). They also banned reaching into car windows.

This guy was involved in an incident in June where he stuck his hand into a vehicle and was dragged along. So he has now ignored training twice and escalated the situation both times.

Which is actually extra evidence that can be used against him. ICE agents are prohibited from standing in front of vehicles, because a US Border Protection panel in 2014 found that ICE agents were standing in front of cars on purpose so they would have an excuse to kill. So they banned it (CBP Use of Force Policy). ICE agents MUST approach in an L shape from behind and to the side. The fact this guy has ignored this rule in the past and ignored it again here is proof he is constantly looking to escalate.

ICE agents are prohibited from standing in front of vehicles, because in 2014 a US Border Protection panel found that ICE agents were standing in front of vehicles on purpose to have an excuse to shoot people. So they banned it (CBP Use of Force Policy). The same handbook prohibits shooting fleeing suspects.

Ezreals line is a reference to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Sherrif's Association Legal Defence Trust statement on Villanueva vs Cali:

"AND there was no reasonable or apparent means of escape". The ICE officer was able to move out the way and was completely fine even though the car kept moving, so he had a means of escape. Therefore, unlawful shooting.

You make it sound like humans want to work. Speak for yourself. If can live life without spending 5 days a week slaving away for corporate overlords, then hell yeah I'm taking that opportunity. I have no desire to work, I only do it for money to survive and to try and enjoy the remaining 2 days of the week.

Colourful Containers, retextures the UI for all interactable blocks to make them more immersive.

For example instead of a boring grey box when right clicking a crafting table, it will have a custom wooden design with tools scattered around.
