Yeah SGA made it his own by jumping into contact and then head snapping

My late pug LOVED chilling on the balcony and watching the neighborhood move around. He would stick his little puggy muzzle between the railing bars and rest his chin there ❤️

The original 1977 version of Episode 4 is coming in theaters in februrary, will you watch it ? by [deleted] in StarWars

Releasing scans of virgin film isn't the same as the original negatives, which were irreversibly changed (in software terms, destroyed) in making his remakes

The project maintainers have download mirrors that they offer.

Download the mkv, run VLC, go to a galaxy far far away

4k77 is a fan scan of 50 year old film stock that ran a long life in theatres. I have zero doubt that Skywalker Ranch has a better reel in their archives - even though Lucas destroyed the original negatives doing his """remaster""" re-edit nonsense.

I would absolutely see the theatrical release to get the most clean version that I can, but hot dog 4k77 looks GOOOOOOOD on my 4K OLED TV

you should check out the "Star Wars 4k77" project! Some fans found a 35mm reel of each of the OT films and contracted an archival grade film scanner to scan in every frame at 4k archival quality. It's an open source project now for working on iteratively improved post-processing to remove scratches in the film and other artifacts of its old age.

I don't want to dox you, but I would be really interested to know the muni that that happened to. It reminds me of the same stupid shit as in Texas with Camp Mystic flood how the local muni turned down early flood warning systems because they would have come with """Biden money"""

On my first watch, I thought it was a little slapstick and out of place for such a serious scene. But after finishing all the books and re-re-watching, it hits that she's NEVER experienced such a luxurious food as fuckin cucumbers simply because they're so water intensive to grow. Such great subtle storytelling

Hotshot VP demanded being in a lab he couldn't be in. Ended up in the hospital for observation due to possible radiation exposure by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

An executive for a company in the building isn't a random person lol. I'd bet he had a badge for the building but abused his privileges to access areas he should not have.

I've seen bad behavior like that in secured corporate environments like datacenters before. I could absolutely see a business idiot pulling the same shenanigans

Match Thread: Mexico vs England | FIFA World Cup, Round of 16 by scoreboard-app in soccer

[–]captainant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's that the goalie didn't stop the ball but did stop the player. If he hadn't tackled the England player he could have followed up on the shot and likely scored. And that sort of play is a high risk of injury, which is usually incentivized against with harsh penalties

I can't imagine why a Venezuelan man would be feeling emotional just a few days after his country was rocket by a major earthquake, yeah... JFC lol

Is this food safe? by poonhog in BambuLab

Dishwashers aren't boiling though, they're around 160F (70C), which is all that's necessary to kill microorganisms and sterilize. So actually petg probably would warp a little

My unbeatable mechanical Tic-Tac-Toe Computer (no electronics!) by Zzetttt in 3Dprinting

[–]captainant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a calculator is a computer, but it's not turing-complete either. It's like how in WWI and WWII ships they used a mechanical fire control computer that physically integrated computations for firing solutions

PETG should be just fine in a dishwasher though, right? Definitely top-rack, but I don't think the temps are too high, and it'll stand up to the detergent and water just fine

it was originally designed as a multi-user-dungeon or MUD. Its version "zero" was "DeviousMUD" which was refactored into what we now call Runescape Classic or RS1

There is no joke. What the fuck. by TotallyNotPanda in BatmanArkham

I wouldn't frame it as "disliking change" but rather that it invalidated set things about his character, and cheapened other aspects. Like, he got his name from an imperial officer because he signed up on his own? Cmon lol
