I think what it also represents is a very good example of what you might call the fundamentals of filmmaking, a sort of masterclass focus on what sets movies apart from the other performing arts. Yeah, the story is solid and the acting is great, but it’s really a tour-de-force of cinematography, aiming for that…

The replies have long since lost the point: 1) you can’t train honest mistakes out of people, because we’re human; 2) a crash doesn’t require a mistake to happen. All it takes is a fraction of a moment of distraction, one missed blind-spot, one bit of information you couldn’t possibly know. So instead of chasing the…

As much as I disagree with it, yes, it is logically consistent. Life begins at conception, and actively taking a human’s life is murder (Catholics are generally more consistent on that belief than other sects). Neither the fetus nor the mother have any humanly discernable moral priority over one another, and the…

Suddenly dumping a 1.5 tons of weight sounds like a good way to fuck up your center of gravity.

I just got a car from Carvana and would do it again. I was willing to spend a bit of a premium to not have to deal with dealer bullshit, but there really wasn’t any dealer inventory in what I wanted so I couldn’t really compare.

Football is a game with many problems, but it must be the best sport out there for showcasing the stupid great skill and athletic ability of these guys have in an extremely visceral “there is no fucking way I could do that” sort of way.

Except for the shameful ranking of Jethro Tull, I can’t complain about this list.

Frankly, I think that’d be a tragedy. Sports need some level of ambiguity, because arguing is the best part.

I mean... fuck the Patriots

But is laps 0-index or 1-index?

Electrification of airliners is probably going to work in the opposite direction: burn dinosaurs for take-off and climb, then use batteries and/or internal generator for cruise power since the power demands are so much less.

1) Jet fuel doesn’t have lead in it, just aviation gas, and that’s essentially a rounding error.

There are a lot of ways to slice it, but when you’re talking about jetliners specifically, you’re usually talking about how it appears that releasing the carbon directly at 35k feet has a stronger impact than releasing it at ground level.

Is there a sport more complicated to officiate than football? At the very least they have the largest crews.

Although if you’re going to release your designers to have some fun, tiny cars are absolutely the place to do it. That adorable angry grill works on a Yaris but wouldn’t work for a car much bigger.

Cricket Through the Ages and What The Golf? are gems worth the price of admission alone

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

to be fair, 5am is when you have to leave to get to Ashburn by start of business

In this 413 page paper I will document the evolution of ~*~*super desu kawaii*~*~ from its inception in early internet chatrooms to the modern streaming scene... ^~^ :3
