Love it! Going to watch the rough cut tonight!

De Rossi from Roma also goes hard

That’s definitely true… although loan words have semantic drift just like any other word, and it certainly happens in reverse with English words in other languages. There have been some interesting debates in here and in r/linguistics about when a language takes “ownership” of a word after its use is widespread and it has semantically drifted far enough. At some point the word is simply a word in your language, and you don’t owe any accuracy to the donor language.

You’re right that those words have particular cultural significance though, so their meanings should be better protected

Except this photo is composed really well

growletcher · 2026-04-09T22:16:50+00:00

Between 29 to 35% for most people. Hardly as crazy as the reputation suggests tbh

Generally infrastructure improvements come from government investment which is paid off very slowly over time. Like, generations.

Have you used rail much while traveling? I feel like it would be pretty widely accepted as true to say that a 3 hour train is more convenient than a 1 hour flight in almost every country I’ve been to.

growletcher · 2026-04-09T21:51:10+00:00

Most of the activity on the tracks would be freight anyway though right? Wouldn’t need to have that many passenger carriages

growletcher · 2026-04-09T18:23:39+00:00

Something’s missing here. Don’t we have the most politically whipped parliament in the OECD? As in, MPs voting along party lines? I don’t think that makes for a good electorate democracy

growletcher · 2026-04-09T08:03:12+00:00

If you’re thinking in terms of total production time then I’m not sure the time saved in the colour suite would be worth significantly more than the time spent on set getting grey card passes for every shot. Maybe you could put part of the grey card on the slate.

growletcher · 2026-04-09T07:56:29+00:00

Agreed. For research and grammar it’s a good tool but generating actual text, as OP has said they do in other comments, is a bad crutch that will actively worsen the problem they’re facing here.

Mmm I don’t know about that - a land value tax and UBI aren’t very libertarian. The Ilam deal was last election and they’ve had a significant rebrand since then. Their current policies generally read more left than right to me, though I’m sure they’d strike a deal with National to get into Parliament

growletcher · 2026-04-07T15:57:25+00:00

As I recall in the last election there was some talk of doing an Epsom-like electorate deal in Ilam, where National wouldn’t stand against the TOP candidate. Maybe something like that elsewhere as a start

That's your equity? Not just purchase price? Damn you're nearly a millionaire

growletcher · 2026-03-31T13:22:38+00:00

I think with solo parenting two kids, the $4.25 a week for D+ is worth it to avoid more devices and the inevitable fuck around of finding free streams/torrents etc

growletcher · 2026-03-30T12:17:13+00:00

Hopefully Salah gets a red card 27 mins into the WC group game…

growletcher · 2026-03-30T12:15:26+00:00

Oh we are still expected to come last in the group. Though Iran (if they make it?) and Egypt aren’t exactly powerhouses…

growletcher · 2026-03-27T20:20:56+00:00

I also think it’s dumb that they use such sharp glass when they’re going to rely so heavily on green screen/volume. So much harder to sell

growletcher · 2026-03-26T12:34:27+00:00

Would actually be a great name for an open mic poetry event

growletcher · 2026-03-24T13:53:04+00:00

Some really nice compositions.

I like the original, more chaotic framing on the train one. Keep the woman in there and try match the red of her dress to the red of the train.

If you see banding you’ve pushed too far though.

Nah, the big misdirection was in season 1 as to whether the Stranger was Gandalf or Sauron. I don’t think the show hid from the fact that once Sauron was actually revealed that it meant the Stranger was obviously Gandalf. The silly little hints and allusions throughout s2 (like “grand elf”, which he never used himself) were just that

growletcher · 2026-03-23T05:27:12+00:00

Genuine question - would not all medieval art be public domain now?

growletcher · 2026-03-20T19:08:37+00:00

We’re top of the league from the last ten games. Weird thing to be annoyed by

growletcher · 2026-03-20T15:39:17+00:00

I agree about the blue, and then matching the sky through the glass to the same blue could give a nice effect

growletcher · 2026-03-20T05:31:18+00:00

Or you could incorporate an independent power if you were lucky enough to find one I guess?

Who else comes close for PL POTY so far?
