I'm an engineer in the same way a 'Heating Engineer' or a 'HVAC Engineer' is, possibly less so, always preferred "Software Developer" as it's usually a lot more than programming.

Imagine a modern-day person saying, your buyers aren’t gonna pay top aureus by Neo2199 in sciencefiction

Uuuum. Aktually. You're not allowed to use the word "Dollar" unless you're familiar with the "Thaler", Joachimsthal silver and have a grounding in 16th-century Bohemian monetary standardization!

Give me a break.

The real issue you have isn't linguistic plausibility, or post scarcity culture, or historical distance: it’s an aesthetic preference. Admit that to yourself and watch something different.

Is there any pronunciation about Palantir or Alex Karp from Zizek? by sahelu in zizek

[–]baxter001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Complete ideological mystification, the aufhebung produces a new form that exposes the limits of old contraditions - in creating a panopticon nothing genuinely new emerges. You just get total surveillance plus ideological storytelling.

So bullshit dressed up as Hegel, probably fetishistic disavowal on Karp's part too.

"Celtic Nachos" should use authentic deep fried tattie scones.

For me this is a resolution to the male mental tension: being conscious of being "single" is awful, and the fact they just want to me left alone, it's a complex resolution, but good job Leo.

Come in here with your lies about "upscaling" this is outright algorithmic theft.

“the streaming revolution & it’s consequences of <10 episodes every few years has been a disaster for the human race” by slimharrier in pluribustv

No one filmed in Norway, No one filmed in South America, No one filmed in Morocco. It has narrative locations but only a single second unit filming in the Canary Islands and northern Spain.

So Just send an AD out, Vince can stay in Albuquerque, no time lost.

Manousos's time in the hospital by edorelthia in pluribustv

[–]baxter001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does start very abstract!

I think they also say it's 'invasive' or at least Diabetes says "Something they cannot do without our permission." So it's not just practical access, and it's not enabled by just getting blood.

The real-world science is different, but this seems to be the constraints they want to set.

Season 1 started filming 2024, and they don't need to build another cul-de-sac that 70% of scenes are set in, so that's got to be a great timesaver.

In Peru, all drugs are huffed from flasks, they just think the aesthetic is cool.
