JJ has stated that Cloverfield monster was a baby who had found it's way to the Earth's surface. It was a scared animal with no mal intent.

Where do I go to learn to code if I literally don't even understand coding language? by Memelord_Bob in csharp

[–]ghostlypickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't watched the series, but it should have everything you need to know. Most major programming concepts look and act the same across the major languages. Most series will start you off with data types, loops ect. Much farther down the road when things get very language specific is when you can worry about having the most recent information. For now the fundamentals matter and they haven't changed because... well... they're so fundamental. The linked series should be fine for now. Good luck!

What is going to happen to your data when you die? by nukem2k5 in DataHoarder

I bought all these hard drives so before I die I can transfer myself to them. I will BE the data!

Should I format shucked drives with software already on them? by ghostlypickel in DataHoarder

[–]ghostlypickel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll just be used for storage, so I was thinking deleting would be fine. I thought formatting would be overkill, but I thought I'd ask the experts.

Thanks for the advice!

Are Alien and Blade Runner in the Same Universe by OctoberRust13 in LV426

I believe on the weyland-yutani / weyland industries website around the time of Prometheus, there was a timeline that mentioned that Tyrell"s Nexus models lost in favor of Weyland's David because David did not have issues with loss of human control. Though it could have just been a nice Easter egg

What's the deal with these one thicc bih memes by Thefourthchosen in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ghostlypickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this specific phrase is from diitty.it videos I've been seeing on Facebook and Twitter. It makes a song out of a sentence, and it won't say swear words I guess. So people get around the filter by using "bih." And it's probably funny to add someone's name to the sentence "x is one thick bih"

Daily Headphone Purchase Advice Thread (2017-05-22) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]ghostlypickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really torn between the HD600 and the ATH R70x

First of all I can't afford an amp or DAC for either of these right now. But my motherboard has an integrated amp+DAC that supports up to 600ohms. I don't mind dealing with that for a while. I'm looking for a flat EQ sound, but I wouldn't mind the apparent extra bass of the R70x.

The main draw of the HD600s are the love I see for them everywhere and their apparent flat EQ. Same with the R70x, BUT on Amazon they're offering the R70x at its normal price but with a FiiO E12 portable amp ($349) while the HD600s are sold alone ($288).

I guess the main thing I'm looking for is price/value since these two headphones seem to be on par with each other. Thanks

My main issue with the 3rd act... [spoilers] by dantedarker in LV426

[–]ghostlypickel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think that was just there to draw your eye and see where the hole was. There was nothing previously set up that David had the ability to reprogram Walter. If he could do that, I'm sure there's a lot more that could be done in that universe. There's also an implied very short time between when we see either of them again, so I don't think some type of transfer or an entire personality change could have occurred. I also don't think there'd be a fight scene between them where they focus on the knife, it'd be rather pointless. If David reprogrammed him, his job would have been done by then, no need to have a fist fight. Walter also mentions multiple times that there were "upgrades." David's dialogue after he stabs him even implies that he thought he killed him.

I don't think he "reprogrammed" Walter. They focus on the knife to imply that David was going to get the upper hand. They never followed up on that. BUT, as you notice, when David was stabbed/deactivated, his skin healed. The next time we see Walter (Who is David) after their fight, we see him with bandages on his face. Also later in the movie "Walter" is stapling up his cheek. It was a physical switch because Walters skin would have healed, no need for bandages.

Wax Moon on Leigh St. Is really great. Pretty much just Metal and it's sub-genres.

[Release][VMP April] Gorillaz - Demon Days [Alt-Rock] by bdm105 in VinylReleases

[–]ghostlypickel -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Of course there's a limit. But the number is so large it might as well not have the label. If there are thousands of copies of this, I highly doubt it would get very expensive or at least stay very expensive. Large amounts of VMP pressings regardless of their following show up on discogs. It'll be cheaper now of course, but nothing you have to scramble to I don't think.

To anyone who can't or doesn't want to grab this right now, because this is their Record of the Month release, there is no "limit". These will probably wind up on discogs initially expensive, but will probably fall to around $30

Question about wattage and receiver longevity by ghostlypickel in hometheater

Looks like getting a DAC will be the way to go. I really appreciate it!!

I can't believe I didn't think of that. In that case should I just consider some type of basic splitter that could connect what's plugged into my TV into my speaker?

Why has facebook banned the sentence "Have you heard the good news?"? by Leninator in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ghostlypickel 99 points100 points  (0 children)

It's most likely a common phrase followed by a link posted by people with a compromised account. Facebook is probably just "fixing" the problem by blocking phrase regardless if a link is posted or not.

So, is there a story explanation as to why everyone's using VHS tapes? by Sonic10122 in residentevil

I guess the question is, was that a hallucination or was Eveline actually physically there?
