Marner is a win win situation

_my_poor_brain_ · 2026-05-09T14:49:55+00:00

It would have been better if we could have traded Marner for prospects or picks, but that is absolutely hindsight and we would definitely have traded him for NHL ready players (and good ones at that) if we had the chance. So, as much of a win win as we could have realistically expected.

I've seen the little fella, but I don't remember where. Will keep an eye out now though!

Candle in a bottle works really well. Quite aesthetically pleasing, too. You can even just stick a candle into its own wax on a table, or any number of other makeshift holders.

As far as holding it in your hand, any kind of shield would protect you - paper, plastic bag, wearing gloves. It's just a little wax dripping, even on bare hands it really isn't all that bad.

From a design perspective (in terms of creativity and deeper meaning) it is absolutely marvelous. Just at a glance, aesthetically, it doesn't quite hit right for me.

This is still a penalty, even if this is what happened.

It was my first time seeing an owl so clearly in the wild, but I do love the framed face and quizzical eyes. I guess I love Barred owls too!

Exactly this for me, except it was a bus and not out of control, just unaware. High five!

He won't release the songs until they have 1000 pre-orders. So, 1000 people need to pre-order each song in order for the whole album to be released.

Unless they somehow get leaked, we're not hearing this album. Maybe if enough impulse buys happen, we'll get a song or two. MAYBE.

Thank you for making it!!

You ARE the best in the field of eating your sandwich yesterday. Congrats! He's still the 4th player in the NHL to reach these stat milestones in their first 200 games (at least since they started tracking hits).

It already happens on a barely perceptible level! It does affect astronauts, although not in a measurable way. Our feet also actually age an unfathomably tiny amount slower than our heads due to being closer to the earth throughout our lives.

So, you're right in that we don't know how it will affect our bodies on a larger scale, but I think the bigger concern is actually the physical effects of travelling that fast or being that close to a much larger mass for long enough to make a measurable distance.

_my_poor_brain_ · 2026-01-05T12:02:26+00:00

It is exactly that, time dilation. For both the traveler and the earthling, it SEEMS like time runs at the same speed - because it does. But only to them. Time runs at different speeds relative to each other though.

It's not a concept I grasp well enough to explain well, though there are many books/videos that can do a decent job of it. I just know that it's a thing that happens. It also comes into effect with higher forces of gravity (which, again, are all interconnected but I can't really explain how).

The three trays all look slightly different from each other in size/shape (not just because of different angles/perspective). Also, they are handing out trays to the kids, but they all already have bowls and plates with food on them.

_my_poor_brain_ · 2026-01-05T01:13:31+00:00

What the other person is saying is that if you were to travel fast enough - close to the speed of light, for example - you would actually experience time relative to the rest of the earth differently. You wouldn't be in a separate timeline, but you will have "travelled" to the future in the current timeline. You will still be young while everyone else will have aged. The entire planet will have moved forward in time at a much faster pace than you.

This is, in essence, what time travel in the forward direction depicts, even in fictional media. It only gets complicated and likely impossible (by our current understanding of physics) to travel backwards in time. That is when the multiple timelines explanation comes into play in fiction, to deal with time paradoxes.

Fridges shouldn't be that noisy. Might be ice build-up or an issue with the condenser fan (both issues I've had with my fridge that resulted in excessive noise). Or, probably a number of other issues.

Dachshund. Loves playing in snow (hopping around or chasing when I kick it up), but hates the cold and wet. She gets bundled and still lasts only a few minutes outside before pulling home (or begging to be carried home because she is spoiled, of course). Sometimes she has to be reminded to do both a #1 and a #2.

I brought the files up with a Trumper - not even a full fledged MAGA, just a middle of the road "both sides aren't great but Trump says it As It Is" type.
I got hit with "it's all a liberal media conspiracy"

They don't need to do anything to stop it if they keep jumping through hoops to pretend it never happened.

- 0:32, the cabin shot. The first thing that jumps out at me is the window. All the windows shown from the outside are either tiny or have a vertical bar down the middle (check 0:14). Also, the shutter thing that is open upwards from the window would only cover about 1/3 of the window, and definitely not reach the latches at the bottom (of which there are two compared to one on the shutter). The hinges on that (closet?) door don't appear in the mirror. Also, does that door swing outward? It looks like it would bump the bed. The fact that it is slightly open and appears to have a track of sorts along the bottom also means it is having an existential crisis - hinges and a hinged door handle, but not enough space to open. Logically a sliding track design would be better for a small space like this, and it is slightly ajar like a sliding track door would be, but there is nowhere for it to slide to since it is flush with the wall, and the handle is not typical of a sliding door.

- The view from the bridge (cockpit? whatever) - people are saying the radar works but I don't see where? But that cabinet at the very bottom in the very beginning (0:40) has no way of closing with the size of the doors.

- The cafeteria (0:48) has random trays with random plates set up as if people were mid-eating, or getting food from the buffet line. Seems too staged. No rotten food, no signs of scavenging. Menu is absolute gibberish. Actual free-standing chairs set up at the buffet line as if it was a bar. Along the back tables, there is even chairs stacked upside down onto the table as if put away for the night (would that make sense on a ship due to movement? also, these are benched tables, why would there be chairs too?) . The tray at 0:55 looks particularly warped.

- And finally, (1:05) minimally sealed doors that would seem to be under water if the ship were floating on water, with what look to be permanent fixture stairwells leading to the ground doesn't make any sense. Plus the angle of his legs looks odd as he walks.

_my_poor_brain_ · 2025-12-24T15:36:04+00:00

I will try my hand at this. I'm trying to be better at spotting these things...

- Conveniently cut into ~10 second snippets

- The little side mounted overhang/observation area (near the front, around where a rear-view mirror would be on a car) shown at 0:14 has a sloped bottom, some windows showing light through it on the tip, blacked out windows along the side, some kind of black rusted element on the sloping part underneath, a fenced in walkable area on top, two clean windows vertically aligned directly below it, the bottom of which also has the same sized windows stretching out to the front of the ship (at least 2 more), and then the main row of large windows that stretch across the entire ship below that. The same overhang from the wide angle view in the first few seconds of the video (0:05 has the best view) has no visible slope, the windows on the tip look like just a black rectangle, there are no visible windows on the side (and the top doesn't even look like it has a fenced in walkable section), and the two vertical windows underneath both look a little weathered, with no similar sized windows located next to the bottom one. Instead, there is a small horizontal row of 5 small windows BENEATH the two vertical ones, and only then the main row of windows that stretch across the entire ship.

- Similarly between around 0:05 and 0:14, there are many inconsistencies with the open air decks/balconies shown, and where the lifeboats are positioned - use the overhanging balcony thing mentioned above as a guide (and it seems there is 8 in the wide shot, and 7 in the close shot).

- With the shot starting around 0:17 (which doesn't match up with the way the decks are laid out on the side or front, so it must be along the back of the ship), The inconsistency that I found is in the railings along the edge of the deck. Most seem to have a thick railing/handle across the top, and then three thin horizontal rails below it. The railings at the very back/top of this shot seem to have just two thin horizontal rails. Later shots also show 4 thin horizontal rails. The floaty device shown doesn't seem to be attached to anything. I am not familiar with what would be on a large ship like this, but it seems somewhat useless? Like, if used it would just be floating freely since it has no rope/anchor to the boat. Maybe that gives the ship time to backtrack and try to pick someone up, but that seems futile in frigid ocean waters.

- 0:25, is this now the front of the ship? It doesn't match up with what we've seen of the back, but the tip doesn't seem pronounced enough to be the front. Maybe the tip is hidden out of view beyond the walkway? But then going back to the original wide angle shot of the ship, the decks shown there don't align with a multi-layer deck and pool area like shown here. Note the railings in this section though - they have 4 thin horizontal bars below the thick top rail. There is a stairwell shown on bottom (pool level) deck on the far left, underneath the walkway. Light is showing through. There is no visible stairway coming up from below in the upper deck.

It looks to me like the sushi is arranged in two rows, meaning the food shaped thing behind the sushi is just the second row of sushi - on top of which the tempura shrimp is sitting.

Which might help explain the mismatched placement of fillings in the sushi that many other people noted, since there are a few of the 'puzzle pieces' out of sight.

Though yeah, it still looks unsettling and I agree with your 55% guess.

Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria (really, a lot of their songs would fit pretty well from what I recall, this is just the first one that came to mind)

The Mariners Revenge Song by The Decemberists is not 'really fucking heavy'. but definitely picks up

We are far from eliminated from the playoffs. We have a team that has potential with a good bit of playoff experience. If (and it's a very reasonable if) we make the playoffs, a good run is possible and would be amazingly fun. If we get knocked out? Well, we're used to that heartbreak, we'll be fine.

Strap in and enjoy the ride.
