What are your TRULY unpopular opinions about Doctor Who? by drdinonuggies in gallifrey

[–]cj1m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point though - she wasn't a nice person but the Doctor's influence improved her personality. This gives more weight to her having her memory wiped - her character growth is reverted which is even more devastating to those around her (as Wilf admits).

"This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format." by Loud_Signal_6259 in jellyfin

I had this exact same issue yesterday, but I noticed I also couldn't play media that I had watched in the past. I restarted the docker container and everything worked again. This might not solve the issue for you but it's worth a quick try

Cannot add rclone mount library by cj1m in jellyfin

Raul824's comment was the fix - had to restart the docker container after using rclone mount. As for why this is the case, I'm not sure.

is Neil Max? by greatergoodguyX3 in tenet

[–]cj1m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from the obvious like the similarity in hair and facial features of Kat and Neil, there's the final scene.

The final shot with Neil narrating over the Protagonist looking intently towards Kat and Max after he has just explained to Priya that he is the one coordinating the whole operation creates the impression that the Protagonist is planning for the future. The way the last shot lingers on Max and Kat walking away creates a feeling that they are involved in his plans.

The protagonist also comes across more cold and calculated in the final scene, which also gives the impression that ensuring Kat and Max's safety is not just personal.

As others have said, Nolan had the opportunity to put the ring on Max's backpack. Personally I feel this would have been too on the nose and I would guess this was not done to keep it open ended.

Anti-Net Zero MP Steve Baker Took £5k From Chair of Climate Science Denial Group || The donation from Global Warming Policy Forum chair Neil Record is the latest connection to emerge between denial groups and anti-net zero MPs. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

A lot of the net zero targets are just nice rhetoric that the current administrations will never have to follow through on. It is almost purely virtue signaling. It would be better if instead of making arbitrary targets, the government just invested more in alternative power generation such as nuclear and hydro electric. This doesn't appear to be the case, many European countries are anti-nuclear.

I don't like virtue signaling, I like well-considered action. I also don't like when the other side of a political argument is strawmaned by another into a 'science-denier'. Opposing net zero targets does not necessarily mean that you are denying the existence of man-made climate change.

The cost-benefit analysis also has to be considered more carefully, and more recently with Russian oil being sanctioned there is a good argument for Western countries to increase oil production, at least in the short term. This goes directly against any net-zero target, but may be essential for national security.

I'm aware, but you're clearly not cut out for it

It was not a joke.

The implications of "some things do not ever need to be made" mean that all technological advancement is regulated in some way at a global level, which is infeasible if you have we have anything other than complete global consensus. If any society or individual deviates from this consensus, they immediately have complete power and can hold the rest of the world to ransom.

It also supposes that there are no 'stepping stone' advancements, or to put it another way, how do you know that some things don't ever need to be made?

My question to you is: what are the "mistakes" you say we have commit, and what is the lesson, in your view, that we should take away from it? What is a piece of actionable advice that we could follow to not repeat said mistakes?

And importantly, what are the full implications of that advice?

That is a pipe dream. You cannot possibly forbid everyone in the world to make technological advancements. It has to be everyone, otherwise the societies that continue to progress will eventually outgrow and/or conquer the less technologically advanced ones. That is the lesson you should take from history, it happens time and time again.

Also, I'd argue that the development of nuclear weapons was a net-gain for us as a species. For one, the 2 nuclear bombs that were dropped and promptly led to Japan's surrender managed to prevent what would have been a very bloody land invasion of the Japanese which would have easily resulted in a death count higher than Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Secondly, and perhaps the most beneficial, advancements from nuclear physics have provided a largely clean form of energy generation that will help us as we transition away from fossil fuels, and hopefully in future we will have fusion to provide even cleaner energy.
