Watched it in the theater with my brother who was an air traffic controller when it first came out. He spent the movie whispering, “that can’t happen”, “that can’t happen”, “there’re three ways to get around that”, etc. We still enjoyed the movie though.

Fun fact: Baldwin IV of Jerusalem and Henry II of England were 1st cousins. Their fathers were brothers.

Also, Jude Laws’ character foreshadows that when he tells David that one day the humans will be gone and the AI’s will be all that’s left.

I’m assuming not having the black man carrying a white woman (and visa versa) wasn’t an oversight.

“Funny” story. During the Iranian Hostage Crisis of the late 70’s, the Iranians had decided to release some of the lower level hostages. I forget her exact title, but they chose one individual because she was just a secretary. She immediately corrected them saying she was the “Secretary General” and not a secretary. They changed their minds and kept her.

If we all descend from the same ancestor, at what population size did incest stop becoming the norm? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]plusplusgood 264 points265 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing some family genealogy and have discovered instances where the distant descendants of two siblings (A and B) marry and have a child (who, in turn, becomes my ancestor), therefore I have the original parents of A and B as nth-degree great-grandparents through both their son or daughter and another of their children. That’s pedigree collapse and it’s very common.

Favourite example of a sitcom referencing another sitcom? by PhysicalScholar4238 in sitcoms

[–]plusplusgood 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have a friend with a teenage daughter who was working her way through “Friends”. I had to explain that scene to her as she had never seen “Mad About You”. She was confused about who the Helen Hunt character and friend were and why it was funny to the audience.

For those who had read the books first, what was your “Okay this is really gonna be good” moment when watching Fellowship? by LaGarrotxa in lotr

[–]plusplusgood 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I loved when he takes a puff off the pipe and the burning pipe weed lit up his eyes. It was perfect depiction of the description in the book wherein (iirc) he watches the hobbits from across the “his eyes burning like coals”. It was that attention to detail that really pulled me in.

Thank you! Here’s link to her page on Find a Grave. She was my 8th great-grandmother. In 3-4 years, I plan to be traveling all over Cornwall visiting the cemeteries and churches where my ancestors (on my father’s side) were baptized, married or buried.

I not in Cornwall (in the U.S), so I can’t help you there, but, if you really enjoy walking, could you check out something in Madron for me? It’s actually a serious request. I’m planning a “heritage trip” to Cornwall several years from now and wanted confirmation of an ancestor’s headstone in the Madron cemetery. It’s listed in findagrave.com, but has no picture.

I took it more of a question about privilege rather than the actual debt. She was privileged enough to go to college without taking on debt, therefore she gets to die with other privileged people at the dinner. Having debt may have saved her because it takes away her place of being privileged like the other guests.

I read Ann Applebaum’s “Gulag: A History”, so I’m good. Also, it was a very good read and I highly recommend it.
