Wow this felt uncomfortable to watch. I feel like I was extra primed by Tom from the start though haha...
Thankfully I have never missed a flight, but one time for a moment I thought I had.
When I purchase tickets and get an email from the airline, gmail will summarize the flight details at the top of the mail. So it adds a blurb on top that isn't part of the actual mail. It usually works but one time it set the departure date as the date I received my email, not the departure date in the contents of the email.
For a moment I thought I had messed up when ordering the tickets, but reading the contents calmed me down.
I'll NEVER EVER trust that feature again.
Big if true. But probably not true...
I think it is good and healthy to regularly go through changes that affect your daily life.
I think communities like these are extra useful on the Fediverse given the more fractured nature.
EDIT 2: I think it's primary sources. Sounds like they reach out to experts themselves. It just seems weird reading a page of 5 quotes from experts with no sources... If Science Media Centre is trusted then this is a pretty good resource.
EDIT: It could be everything they post are primary sources. I need to read a bit more on this to be sure.
It sounds like a nice idea but I can't see sources on those quotes, making it essentially untrustworthy.
For instance, I have trouble finding the first comment of this topic. The comment by "Prof Andy Smith, visiting worker, MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Leicester".
I can't stress how useless this is without being able to source the quotes. As far as I'm concerned this is literally fake news.
Has anyone managed to find sources for the comments?
In the spirit of the question (not picking the most common ones), I'd say Sanctuary was good. I think it was very (very...) low budget (everything is green screen) but the stories were great. There are a lot of fantasy elements but I think it's very scifi.
I didn't bother watching it when I learned they weren't gonna use practical effects for the black hole
This would be a fair limit. You would be limited by certain conservation laws, but as long as you would provide an adequate energy source (say, like Flash, you had to eat a lot more food) it could still be useful.
Nah but I haven't logged in yet. I will probably delete it at some point but leave the comments up. I'm fine with leaving whatever value I have contributed on Reddit. It's their website and they own the content I willfully added. But I won't contribute more.
Giga democracy
I agree that it is a sobering number. I don't expect Reddit to die by losing 7%, but that number probably represents a very large absolute number, some of which is directed at alternatives like Lemmy and Kbin. If a threshold has now been passed (which I think it has) and the alternatives are/will offer a better solution, then in time Reddit may be in trouble.
For me the "win" since the start of the black out has been whether alternatives can be legitimized.
It mimics soda in that it triggers the same release as I get from chugging soda. It's a particular "refreshing" feeling that makes my eyes water. I suspect for soda it was the sugar addiction that gave me the release, but because both are carbonated it tricks my brain. Or maybe it's the carbonation alone that triggers it.
Does anyone experience the same?
There were some images flashing in my mind but I quickly lost what I was seeing, but the next thing was Avenged Sevenfold's A Little Piece of Heaven: https://youtu.be/KVjBCT2Lc94
Just watched it today and thought it was pretty good. It was very funny, but what I always enjoyed by DC over Marvel was that it didn't try to be funny all the time. I prefer it more "serious" in that regard.
One thing that I kept noticing was that they used GCI to solve the "the same actor in multiple places in one frame" problem. Instead doing some splicing technique thing that seems to usually work really well (real faces), it changed between rendering the alternate Flashes with GCI.
