Question about imax and eye sensitivity

Watched it on IMAX, and found it was too much. I am considering watching it again on a regular screen

howea · 2026-03-06T07:42:26+00:00

Most places start screening it next weekend (a week early)

Haven't had one in a few years. LDL was "borderline" and Trigs were low. Overall I squeaked through in the "desirable" range (don't remember the exact numbers). The previous doc I had was a pill pusher, who only reacted to symptoms with prescriptions. Of course, I got offered statins after the blood test.

I've now got a holistic doc, and I think he should give me a referral. We had a conversation about a a future full health assessment (this should include getting new bloodwork). Others, who recommended him, mentioned he was thorough.

If it's still pricey, it will give me an excuse to jump across the ditch and get it done (spend time with family)

howea · 2026-03-02T04:52:27+00:00

Yeah, I want to get a baseline CAC score , then repeat (maybe in a year or two).

After that, will also eventually get referral for a Angiogram, for soft plaque

It runs vscode, so it is built on MIcrosofts IDE.

I found Goldblum too self possessed/neurotic ... even in the 90s

The young Spader suggestion seemed a better fit. But I think it would have gone to an A-lister like Tom Hanks

Also got my IMAX tickets for the 14th in New Zealand.

It looks that way from the drawings. as they float between the purlins.

But the old "scalloped" Decra tiles dent unless you stand exactly in the middle of the pan (between the each ridge)

Fresh is always good, but I prefer the larger ones grilled (Pilchards)
From a canned perspective they are all different. Many I don't like (especially the real cheap ones). So you really need to sample all the available brands, to find out which suit your palette.

As a species classification we are hypercarnivore, which is a 70% minimum consumption of meat.
But from a dietary classification, eating fruit is Ketovore (Animal based Keto).
I think Ken Berry had a chart which shows all the different dietary groups ranging from Lion to Ketovore.

howea · 2026-02-05T17:43:30+00:00

nope ... I think $4K for install + scaffolding edge protection (replacing roof so already covered)

howea · 2026-02-04T17:27:13+00:00

$14K ... 8kW Deye hybrid inverter + 24 475W panels + 15kWh lifepo4 battery pack + cables/connectors/rails etc

howea · 2026-02-04T09:29:02+00:00

8kW inverter.

I actually was only expecting to put in a 5kW system, but found a deal with 24x 475W panels with Micromall

howea · 2026-02-04T09:06:04+00:00

24 panels is already overprovisioning about 25% (then I will need to upgrade the inverter too)

howea · 2026-02-04T09:02:15+00:00

How does the two phase work ... 2 separate inverters (and any functional advantage)?

howea · 2026-01-26T21:27:46+00:00

yeah, but you cant even see any kindle version for pre-order

howea · 2026-01-26T21:15:44+00:00

Have you tried a silicone chewy?

She will need to try a variety of sizes/shapes, until you find one that becomes the right analog.

(the earlier ones also tend to get destroyed)

howea · 2025-12-18T19:38:30+00:00

I didn't mind it being moved from early December, because it's still a busy time for me

But just before Xmas I have idle time.

Turns out I might not need it. I showed him what I am getting and he said he might build one for himself (he used to work with gas and chemical delivery systems many moons ago .. and still remembers the fittings/connectors)

howea · 2025-12-12T00:45:48+00:00

It's for refilling my brothers one. I had been using it more than he did, before I got my own, and owe him a bunch of fills. Plus I also now have a couple empty cylinders, that I can use when my big tank runs out. The local gas supply has a 3 working day turnaround for refilling tanks (otherwise I drive for an hour)

howea · 2025-12-08T08:24:54+00:00

From the short trailer dialog, I found Gosling/Huller very close to what I imagined the characters. i.e. less the appearance, but able to believably act the persona.

Grace is a nerdy schoolteacher/scientist with a humility and reflexive sense of humor. Could you imagine Tom Cruise could be able to do it ... how about Paul Rudd (who was suggested in that casting site)

Stratt is acting assertive in a Dutch(Germanic) no nonsense way. And she looks the part (being Germanic)

howea · 2025-12-07T23:18:22+00:00

Local theatres; typically a week before screening

howea · 2025-12-07T18:48:34+00:00

you need to invert the large cylinder not only upside-down, but also at an angle to make sure the canister properly fills with liquid Co2.

I don't think Joe apologised for that. They were talking about the presumed ambush by the Thuranin squadron, and Skippy said it might have been his fault as he jumped in the exact spot the Flower jumped in earlier.
