Aaron Sorkin has a strict no-”damnit” exclamation rule because he argues that no one ever says that as a standalone in real life.

Gotta agree.

Don’t listen to him. I just early birded the GoPro version in hopes this will be ready in time for an athleisure shoot I do twice a year. Even if I get one usable shot out of this from a unique perspective it’ll be worth it.

Yep. I don’t know that it’s THAT egregious but I fly that Mavic 2 and 2 Pro with fair frequency for this doc project we’re shooting in Montana and Colorado and if I charge two weeks out and load in a batt, you better believe it’s lost 25% just sitting in the case.

Batteries are hard, man. We’re asking a lot of the…

Regina is a friend. She’s freaking awesome. She did a Verizon and a couple other things with us over the years. Can’t say enough good things about her. So many inside jokes from set- she’s great on camera and just the best off camera. :)

I was going to leave a comment but Apple’s new autocorrect keeps capitalizing every word I type that starts with the letter I, Including the word If, regardless of where It Is In a sentence. Thanks for all the help, Apple. 

Clearly you’ve never traveled by airship, sir.

This is so goddamn cool.

I’ve been dying for this update ever since I got this to work on my MBP. It’s a far superior camera to either of the webcam solutions I had so far and it’s not exactly like I’m going ocean diving with my GoPro in Bali right now or anything...

Know what’s funny? I’m buddies with that guy (the lead actor) and that’s just his look. He wears those glasses and usually has a pretty solid quarantine beard even when it’s not quarantine (it might have been for the movie- it’s also a thing actors tend to do knowing they can always trim down but it takes longer to…

It’s similarly arrogant to think they’d need anything from our planet at all if they’re capable of intergalactic travel. :)

That would assume they’re made of the same stuff we are- that they NEED anything we might have.

Statistically there *should* be an alien civilization that would have a similar composition and…

I side with skeptics regarding our abilities. I have zero notion of what a civilization a full billion years old might look like.

Imagine, if you will, transcending the need for a physical body, or even leaving a place physically at all and going there with whatever your “mind” looks like at that point.

If you’ve made…

Again, I’d have to imagine that if they can traverse the universe they have the prerequisite materials to harness whatever they need to make whatever they need most. Beyond that, we’re nowhere near the only source of water in the galaxy, let alone the universe. But I see your point.

Trying to keep it together, my dude.

Sometimes I get this urge to self-induce brain damage to the point where what they’re saying starts to make sense, but it doesn’t seem like any amount of hard alcohol will ever do the trick.

Dude, this, exactly. I’m constantly trying to explain the unimaginable gap in intelligence between humans and a civilization that can traverse the universe with FTL capabilities of some sort. We would have literally NOTHING to offer them and it’s likely they’ve seen thousands of more interesting planets before us…

Just consider how the public would react. The religious right would abandon any party that came forward with the claim that aliens were real without SIGNIFICANT proof. It would challenge their notion of god.

Or they’re here to retrieve their cuttlefish brethren. :) 

Unfortunately I’m not sure what any human could possibly contribute to an alien civilization that would in any way be recognized as meaningful leverage.

Yeah, something is definitely up. Should we form a Kickstarter to raise $40K-$100K to try to order one of these products and see if a kid shows up or something?

My good buddy did SERE five or six years ago and told me a few things they did but never mentioned any waterboarding, which I figured would be a no brainer. But it’s possible they tier some things out based on rank/responsibility/branch. Maybe. I don’t know- I’ve never gone through SERE.
