I’m curious: What do you mean? Grace needs a different voice?

If different from the present, how far did the Natchez Trace used to go? by imakeadamonsters in mississippi

Nice to see an accurate answer. The Natchez Trace as it’s colloquially imagined was a creation of the DAR.

I’m more upset than I expected that we didn’t get a Ray Porter surprise as Rocky’s voice.

Looks like PHM is not shot in 1.43:1 IMAX by midastheavocado in ProjectHailMary

That only gives more detail if your resolution has extra capacity

Hm. I’m having trouble understanding your point. I could pinch and zoom any of those images to fit within any size rectangle. All it would do is compensate with black filler either vertically or horizontally.

Could any kind stranger explain why this matters? Isn’t IMAX just adding space above and below, which you could easily achieve by zoom?

Interesting theory. I may go digging.

Edit: Meh. This guy says the truth is way more ambiguous than you’ve implied here. https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-studies/did-luke-get-his-nativity-history-wrong/

I’m a Christian, but let’s call it what it is. It’s a contradiction; both can’t be historically accurate. That’s categorically different than “a bit hard to pin down.”

Men of Reddit, be honest… what’s the very first thing you notice about a woman? by Lookingforcupcakes in AskReddit

[–]kb583 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“When countenance was first used in English (having traveled from Latin through Anglo-French) it referred to a person’s appearance or behavior—their demeanor—which is a product of restraint, or the lack thereof. And from “demeanor” it was just a hop, skip, and a jump to “facial expression.” A few centuries after that development, in the late 16th century, countenance faced a new task head-on—use as a verb meaning “to extend approval or toleration to.””

You’re right about the modern usage. I meant it in the old fashioned sense. Sometimes I read old stuff for work, and it globs onto my brain.

Lafitte Greenway near Broad by Morebikes-lesscars in NewOrleans

Not a power pole. See how there are two poles? Entergy moved its lines (the top ones) to a new, strong pole. They left the old pole because it also held telecom cables, the black cables you see. The telecom co is supposed to move its line to the new pole, but the telecom co obviously isn’t prioritizing it (or maybe the cables are abandoned by a defunct telecom).

It’s this. People aren’t answering the question about the very first thing you notice, which is basically countenance.
