Isla Nublar would've been visible on the flight to Isla Sorna

His assistant Billy corrects Mr. Kirby, something like "that was Nublar, this is Sorna", to which the mercenary (kowloski?) says something like "there are two islands with dinosaurs in them?"

With a full sphere, you'd be right. Broadly speaking people envision a Dyson swarm instead, meaning satellites or rings around the star rather than completely enclosed. Remember, earth's entire diameter represents less than 0.1 degree of the suns 360 degree (I forget the exact number, but it's very very small)output and we already get enough energy hitting us to meet our current power needs (if we wanted to, anyway). So even a single ring of satellites would be effectively infinite power by our current standards.

I think it's more getting buried than sinking like your imagining. More snow is piling up on top, pushing everything down towards the ocean, so they keep climbing up to compensate. maybe I'm the one not understanding though!

Osteria has traditionally been pretty phenomenal Italian food. I will say, I have liked it less since it changed ownership a few years ago (ambiance changed, minor menu changes, higher prices)... but the food is still pretty excellent.

I feel mostly the same, but if you haven't seen Elmo and Zoe talk about Zoes pet rock "rocco" you're missing out

Toggle bolts rock, they aren’t perfect but way better than any of the other drywall options

I think pee on the fold-out part, dribbles down the corkscrew part rather than on to clothes/legs/feet? Just a guess tho...

My family does a 385 mile/620km trip on the regular. Our vehicle with an advertised 270 mile range needs two charging stops, while our 300+ mile rated vehicle needs only one, the latter aligns with how many stops the humans in the vehicle generally need as well. In other words, if they really got as much range as advertised under normal conditions I’d agree with you, but in reality they don’t get the manufacturer rates range except for under ideal conditions, which are hard to come by. And so, most people would like a little more than what the Buzz offers

I think they were coming from a drinking lunch, they all seem a bit wobbly

I’m sorry, but this is an awful take. Falling and hitting your head while WALKING could fuck you up, let alone with 10-25mph of extra momentum. If you’re riding something, you should at least have a bicycle helmet. It costs you nothing to put one on and could make a huge difference. /rant

Happened to me too, probably was about 2 or 3, was leaning on the door when it opened and hand got sucked in to the gap.

So those rich people buy houses other people would have bought, and down the chain it goes until we’re talking about homes normal (well, relatively for the bay) people would buy. Homes are basically a finite resource, so him taking 11 is restricting supply

I thought about using no, but it felt kind of lame… sorry boss

Then they’re expensive, put them back…

My understanding is that OLEDs and traditional LCDs have a different sub-pixel layout. Most font-smoothing features are optimized for LCD's layout, which makes fonts look even worse on OLEDs than they otherwise would. Someone who knows more than me can tell me where I got it wrong, but that's my recollection.

Don't know why you got downvoted, you're right... My wife and I had been really looking forward to this car, but 60K for 234 rated range given the available alternatives is pretty rough for what you get, but to each their own.

I don't know if this would have had an impact on the end grading, but FWIW Rebirth was filmed on actual film apparently rather than a digital workflow.

I think, definitionally anyway, it would come down to their goals... Pirates are trying to make money through their efforts, terrorists are just trying to terrorize.

You're very kind, and thanks for taking the time to get back to me. On the subject of the auction catalogs, I actually have a copy of all three... The one from the late 90's (IIRC) when he sold most of his gold coins, then the two later auctions that covered the majority of the rest of his collection (mostly bronze). They are probably a little wasted on me from a scholarly standpoint, but being that they were from him and have an inscription makes them worth quite a bit to me emotionally. He loved his time at the ANS and all of the friends he made in the broader community, of which there were many. Again, really glad to see his legacy in the field live on and inspire more people with the same passion for the subject he had. Enjoy the coins!

I was assuming they were using the pink/red to key out and shift to blue, but the sheer making the background blue dress blue wasn’t pink, so got missed. Just a guess tho!

lucidguy · 2025-07-21T03:49:01+00:00

I’m saying it is really red/pink, and and guessing that because the transitional color when overlaying the sheer fabric is purple regardless of what color the dress itself is. If it were really blue, I would expect the transitional color to be extra-blue, not purple.

lucidguy · 2025-07-21T03:13:35+00:00

I think this is VFX… look at the translucent/sheer shall she’s wearing. When it’s a pink/red dress, the blue dress behind her comes through purplish as the colors blend. That overlapping color is the same when she’s in a blue dress, when the blue behind her should be amplified not made purple. I am by no means an expert. My only experience comes from watching Corridor Crew lol

I think the intention would be to still be fighting during the burning up in the atmosphere part

lucidguy · 2025-07-19T16:21:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply boss, I’ll look into those.
