@Charlie Jane Anders: will do. and not to spoil it for you but the answer is:

@sephycloneno15: not even thinking about the industry. i want to leave the people, the AUDIENCE, asking "how'd they do that?! what did i just watch?! i can't unsee that can i?!?!"
@99TelepodProblems: i can't wait till they get their act together on the vfx front... i'm a graphics guy and as soon as they're ready for it, i want to make the star wars of porn.... live action hentai with tentacles ray traced to within an inch of their lives.... every sex scene, i want them to be asking "how'd they…
@Doople: ohhhh right... and it wouldn't just be the water... it would be the ATMOSPHERE ITSELF... you'd need walls high enough to hold in the entirety of the ring's atmosphere or that would spill out too....
@James Stouffer: right, the entirety of the ring would be massive but even without taking the whole thing into account - even if the flooring material holding the ring together were magically thin, it looks like you still have the entire continental shelf beneath your feet before you hit that thin flooring.... so if…
@Doople: yep, water would go flying off once it hit the sides... so you'd have to make sure that the oceans are actually like land locked giant lakes or you had WALLS.
right - this is the whole, "when i buy a white honda, suddenly i see white hondas everywhere" phenomenon.
@esteban4: that's determinism and it would also mean that FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS AN ILLUSION. "if you know (in a ludicrously complex system) EVERY POSSIBLE input, then the output is predictable because it is FIXED". which i personally don't have a problem with but those who believe in a "He" might....
this is a lost art... there were B-Movies whose posters evoked a story and a production value that the movie itself couldn't even attempt to hint at....
only 3 blades? my mach 3 has 5!!! 5 fucking blades!!!
ooops... my last was too long.... revised:
It worked. Hawkeye lifted into the hot afternoon sun and the stereoscopic video feed resolved with an epileptic kick of white LED noise. But the battery meter was X'd out and the latency on the commands Alister issued from his phone could be counted in seconds. The battery hack was working but only just. Alister …
actually military dress has always informed civilian dress. "chinos" and "khakis" are both a product of military (british i think) styles being co-opted for civilian fashion. in ww2, we have the "bomber jacket" that took off from pilots to just dudes. fashion texts pretty explicitly mention the military as being a…
well, if that seat is waaaaaaaaay less expensive, i can imagine it could make sense for young/slim folks.
@Segador: are you referring to dani as the victim of pedophilia? isn't she like in her teens or something? and that certainly qualifies for pedophilia in our world and time, but there were times in the past where people married, gave birth and died before most people get married for the first time in the…
i only finished the first book but i really liked it. i was a newcomer kinda recommended to give it a try and i found it remarkably good. currently i'm on a scifi trip so i'm not in a mood to read the other books yet but when next fantasy takes my fancy, i'll dig into the next.
great rig but i would make the outer mirrors telescopable to be able to adjust the interaxial distance.
@anachronda: haha, speaking of which.... [lifehacker.com]
@anachronda: right! this kinda stereoscopic hobbyist stuff used to be pretty popular and older versions of this exist too... but the issue with these is that that interaxial or interocular distance is not adjustable so not ideal for professional use or really serious hobby use even. if either or both sides were…
