After this years trifecta of fan-servicey and narratively disappointing franchise finales (Endgame, GoT and most likely Episode IX), I sort of think its time for the geek culture bubble we’ve been living in for the past decade to finally burst. 

What I’m quite worried about is this one day affecting “purchased” digital content on other platforms. For instance, if I’ve bought the Avengers films on iTunes or Amazon Prime Video, what’s to stop Disney turning round and saying “sorry, we’re completely removing these from other platforms now” - the whole “you don’t…

Found the Boeing PR person.

“Pilots may not be adequately trained”

It sounds like Boeing knew this design was potentially faulty so they used two sensors for input. Then they promptly ignored those concerns and only used input from one sensor.

It seems that it would be obvious to a human pilot if the automated system was receiving faulty sensor data, since it would be easy to see the…

Why?

Not useless, as it serves to point out a problem in how we teach people about the solar system.  

As someone who’s worked in both restaurants and retail, I can confirm that a good portion of the public not only expects something for nothing, they demand it.

Counterpoint, yes they do. 

The flip phone wasn’t a fad. It was the most sensible approach to the cellphone tech that existed at the time.

While “fiddling while Rome burned” is a kind of obvious metaphor for his inaction (which is a common criticism for literally every politician when they don’t react quickly to crisis), he in turned blamed Christians and Jews for setting fire to the city, which sparked slaughter. Speculation was that it was basically a…

I remember my girlfriend and I gave this half a season and ditched out because it was too wealthy in both people and their problems to be relatable for us.

There are so many predictions about “today” that would have gotten weird looks or laughs in 2005:

As someone who started using the internet as a child in the late 90s, this list makes a lot of sense. I suspect most of the people writing this article are in a similar age group, late 20s-early 30s. That’s why you get Homestar Runner, Runescape, Newgrounds, and GameFaqs on there. People whose middle and high school…

Here’s something else you can never un-notice : Watch Star Trek, especially Deep Space Nine when a lot of aliens are around. Now notice how nobody blinks.

So, Amy watched Island of Allah and then after she went to bed Jimmy and Roslynn stayed up for Herbie? Drive In double feature always starts with the kid flick then they fall asleep in the back seat. :)

It seems that as well as being a genuinely nice guy. Jimmy Carter had a pretty great taste in the movies. The late 1970s a was a great era for American cinema

I love how things that we refer to as "retro" are often things that, at the time, were supposed to be "from the world of tomorrow".
