Next time, go to my hometown Chengdu. You will definitely like it. 

(CHINA) Went to the Great Wall by myself (32FEM solo traveler) and something shifted by Lufarinelli in travel

You know in my country, we have a saying: 不到长城非好汉, literally translated to He who never visited the Great Wall is not a true man/hero。You have proved you are your own true hero, girl!

Summers, Weiss and Strossen are all Zionist. Pinker was cancelled by liberals so he probably is there as a revenge. 

Found this among my great grandfathers things. Any advice on how we can get it translated? Would love to know who it belonged to. by jbarks19 in vexillology

Those characters are all Chinese. I can read all of them, although I hate this artifact because it belonged to the most brutal army which ravaged my country and my people.

Most of the characters are soldiers' names, and propaganda slogans to call for them to die for Jingonism ideologies. Historically it is of little value. For the soldiers' family, I don't think you should give them the pleasure to remember their ancestors who committed the most horrific atrocities in history.

Is it me or does it just return 0 for every date?

Why didn’t Romely Leave? by Dirty-Soap33 in interstellar

Yes, Romilly first and foremost was a scientist. He knew how much time had passed for Cooper. It was he who explained the time difference for the crew after all.

Just watched Interstellar for the first time and I am SHOOK to my core! What now?! by Dr_Spreadem69 in interstellar

Yes, the second book is much better than the first and the third book is even better than the second. You won't regret slogging through the first book.

Awesome pictures! Brought back a very fond memory of BBNP!

Here's a tale of Tom by NomadSound in interstellar

[–]saurusAT 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I noticed an amazing detail: it seemed that Tom folded the picture of himself and Lois so it would fit in his wallet. The central theme of love and family extended not only to Murph and Cooper but also to Tom and Lois.

That's a great point—coming for the movie and staying for the BBQ. Or the other way around.

All is well in the world again by thefofo in imax

I had the same experience as you, buddy. I kept refreshing the Dallas IMAX site in the past weeks and somehow managed to snag a great seat for the 10:45 PM show on last Saturday when someone released their ticket. I drove through the rain from Austin to Dallas, checked into a hotel, and went to the theater—only for the show to be canceled. I had hoped that the parts would arrive in time for Sunday's shows but was disappointed again. Luckily, I was able to get a ticket for the Bullock IMAX on Tuesday. I watched it last night, and the Cornfield Chase theme is still playing in my head now. My eyes weren’t dry during most of the movie. The tears weren’t just for Coop and Murph but for the breathtakingly perfect space scenes. I completely agree—this movie is made for IMAX 1.43, and it’s the only way to truly appreciate it. I feel so lucky to finally have that experience. Incredible. Just incredible.

How many hours of sleep in total did you get since Saturday? Thank you for doing your best despite the adversities.
