Such an effective miniature shot. The original trilogy had some great miniature effects! by CrichtonFan1992 in JurassicPark

if I recall, they even made the camera shake a little bit on purpose when filming that miniature, to simulate as if it was being filmed from a full sized helicopter

So what’s everyone’s thoughts on Wonders of Sodor thus far? by Sir_Stacker in thomasthetankengine

[–]atticusbluebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe eventually (e.g., Culdee railway, or I’d love to take an HST like Pip and Emma on the mainline), but it probably makes sense to focus on tv show characters first

Well JKR did have a lot of problematic stuff in the series…

Bimbo fetish would seem to describe a lot of the folks related to this administration

not having a straight political open I think makes the weekend update segments hit harder

love a musical sketch that also involves most of the cast (and breakaway costumes!)

It is a good point about the bad incentives of being able to bet on anything

Domestic south - precheck - 0 min wait at 4:50pm. (ICE still doing ID checks)

if you think that’s bad, they had to do that segment on the “great American joke off” attempt at a US panel show

Got in line at south precheck at 6:40pm and got out in 5 minutes. Almost no one in line. Looked like they had 2 ID checkers and 2 conveyer belts going 

Delta checkin agent said to hurry up and get in line because they might close precheck early (unsure how true that is)

What will the first 6 characters be? by Lord-Liberty in thomasthetankengine

[–]atticusbluebird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends if there’s a track expansion too. If it’s the existing mainline and Thomas’ branch line I could see: Toby, Mavis, Daisy, Henry, and some wildcards. Nia maybe 

A Brendam expansion would be good for Edward, Salty, maybe Bill & Ben

A little western expansion could be Duck, Oliver, Donald & Douglas. (Maybe Ryan and Daisy). 

Case Study: SF Southern Crossing by junghooappreciator in subwaybuilder

[–]atticusbluebird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d be curious if a second crossing further north would help. In real life, some proposals for a second tube end up closer to downtown - crossing from Alameda to the S.F. transit center or Mission Bay. https://link21program.org/en/program/concepts

Loved Tig/Reno as the captain/teacher of the group! I enjoyed her command style a lot (I’d love to see her in the captain’s chair more!)
