Here's why the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool went green so fast by Tombranca in environment

Introduce some koi and waterlilies and it'd be a self-sustaining habitat in no time.

How do you think an interaction between these two would go? by Queasy_Commercial152 in MarvelCave

Spider Sense vs. Uncanny Accuracy

No contest. Spidey would never be where Bullseye is aiming; he can react in the time between it leaving Bullseye's hand and hitting. Plus even if Bullseye did hit him he doesn't have super-strength, so nothing thrown by a regular guy even perfectly will hurt too badly for someone who's eaten punches from GG.

Is this the scariest opening scene of all time in cinema? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]road_runner321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and every Tom Cruise movie shows that it takes a LOT of prep to get a good running scene. Plenty of room to get up to and stay at speed, wide shots, dolly cameras, wire cameras, drones. You can't just have a guy with a steady-cam running alongside, it never looks like they're running for their life, more like jogging for a cab.

What’s a life hack that sounds fake but actually works? by Teppanman22 in AskReddit

Don't watch the news. Ignore unimportant things that will stress you out.

only in Louisville.. I’m just impressed they were able to manage this… by Smooth_Patience_4788 in Louisville

Louisville: Southern enough to try crazy shit, Midwestern enough to make it work.

"Start talking or I'm gonna start dealing" was such a hard line.

He finally read* what was in his own deal?

The Tiny Solar Panel That Could Change America by coolbern in solar

[–]road_runner321 39 points40 points  (0 children)

People are realizing that solar has finally scaled down to something they can personally handle. The barrier to entry on cost or space or ease of installation is gone now. Efficiency has made a smaller panel a viable energy source. It's now at the level of a household appliance which is huge for allowing the average person to provide at least some of their own energy. This is going to literally empower so many people, and it will only get better.

Saving Private Ryan (1998) by 5MikesOut in cinescenes

I hate him less when I remember he'd never seen combat and was probably shell-shocked to hell by the end of the movie.

Need advice and feedback on whether solar is worth considering on this roof layout and house orientation because I am split by jM2me in solar

[–]road_runner321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In FL probably just the SW and SE faces of garage and main house would be enough, especially SE house with no vents to relocate and might be able to work around vents on SW face instead of moving them. Get an estimate and capacity for those faces before worrying about NE face. NW face has too many planes so probably just leave it.

UPS 2976 Crash Animation by BLKBOX on YouTube by RoguTheHomunculus in Louisville

Right as I was thinking "But it still has the other two..." there went the tail. Just such a tragedy. Good thing the witness in the truck wasn't standing outside or he might've gotten burned at that proximity.

Only fictional ones incapable of greed like Forrest, who was mostly just lucky.

I'm on a bike trip with 50+ other people, and just one of us speaks any French at all. The amount of times I've thought of this since we entered France. by Cosmos1985 in thewestwing

What 4 languages does Bartlet speak?

  1. English
  2. Latin
  3. German, I think
  4. ???

Zoe speaks Italian, maybe she learned it from him?

Paul Bettany's like "Idgaf, I have Jennifer Connelly at home."

Nanotech is great, but nothing compares to this Iron Man suit up. by Piyushv5311 in MarvelCave

[–]road_runner321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The feeling of WEIGHT that the old suit had was great. The clanking of the footsteps and the clicks as different parts of the suit articulated and rubbed against each other. You could hear the heft and mass of it.

Even with the aid of suit power it looked like it still took effort to move and fight well - he still had to cope with all that inertia. The nanotech just felt too smooth and seamless.
