watching Bond Quantum of Solace and kinda chuckling because first he drives into Siena on the day of the Palio (popular horse race), and the streets are empty.
And then he has a boat chase in Port Au Prince and the sequence looks hyper kinetic and exciting and the boats are zooming and turning on a dime. But if youve ever been on a these tiny fishermen dinghys you know theyre slow as shit.
Ironically is the most efficient way to deliver mail.
Because if most local mail had to be transported in a roughly linear path end-to-end, it would require 50x as many mailmen, take 10x as long, and probably cost 20x as much.
met with family and extended family recently, most of whom i gave physical gold for wedding gifts
i informed them their gifts have already 2x-4x in value in the few short years since their wedding. they had no idea. in fact, my sister almost lost hers when she found it in my nieces toy pile, and almost tossed it thinking it was a chocolate coin. i advised her to flip it for cash.
ive always hated this icon set because of the potential ambiguity of the upper icon. red usually means live/recording, so coloring it red implies the mic is on, instead of off/muted. and then the confusion of whether the icon reflects the current state, or whether its the desired state.
like it where microsoft actually writes the caption "Mic On". although best would be a pulsing mic icon
I worked in a software division for a bit and i simultaneously dont understand (its just code) and do understand (the entire organizational apparatus around the software [who dont code] are fucking morons).
Basically cleaned out LHW. If pay is still based on PPV, hes really got to take on the big dog at HW (Aspinall). And with how shallow that division is, fighting with anyone else not named Tom is arguably easier
that Terminator mode Poatan looked fucking menacing, goddamn.
I thought his last fight exposed how stiff and vulnerable he could be, then he comes out and disassembles Ankalaev without taking on a scratch.
