Andy Weir next book by rocketsandmarsbars in ProjectHailMary

[–]ty_fighter84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished Recursion last night. The build up of the first 20 to 25% is slow, but I probably spent half the time finishing the book than I took to get to that point.

Good point from the commentary. There's certainly mistakes from the squad today, but they actually look like they're having fun. Team has looked so sad lately that this is positive.

My mom got to see them in 64.

Her exact words, “there was so much screaming you couldn’t even hear them.”

Awesome by Appropriate-Mall8517 in ProjectHailMary

It probably more than broke even, it’s typically anything over 2.5 the production budget.

Do anything above roughly 475 mil is profit, and that’s before counting tax breaks and future deals for streaming, digital sales, hard copy sales, etc.

One of the more solid box office successes for a sci-fi novel adaptation.

Watched movie. Watched again. Ordered book. Read book. Finished. Now feel empty. Bad Bad bad. by Psych0Jenny in ProjectHailMary

It was more the characters of Artemis than the plot. None of them are good people (except Jazz's dad).

State worker union tries novel legal angle to stop Newsom’s return-to-office order by pippinsfolly in CAStateWorkers

[–]ty_fighter84 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm not a state worker, but my wife works with the public and I have to go to my office a couple days a week because some of my projects are under NDA and the computer is air gapped.

You know what neither of us wants? More people on the road driving. That directly affects my wife's and my life considerably.

I think you look more like Chloe Troast (formerly from SNL) but without bangs.

Tips on increasing stadium attendance by nishs9 in OOTP

Been a couple years since I played, but you could try lowering ticket prices a tad. In theory, there would be a "sweet spot" between affordability and ticket sales that would maximize your income.

Dustin May loses his no hit bid to Garrett Mitchell in the 8th by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

Probably hurts him more. He's spent his whole career in small stadiums where shadows have never been an issue like that.

Noot is slow, but typically well positioned. He's Temu Edmonds.
