I mean as soon as I saw who was playing the boss/mentor combined with it being a revenge movie I was pretty sure what was going on. The rest of the opening scene pretty much confirmed it. Still the movie was entertaining enough in that just want to check out my brain and eat popcorn way.

I'm surprised there aren't more lawsuits. Boss Level is basically lifted from The Feedback Loop by Harmon Cooper. The opening scenes are especially bad. They barely changed the name of the first assassin that tries to kill the main character.

Given that they setup that whole thing where celestials are ultimately in control of themselves (losing/gaining wings, the devil face/body, Cain finally losing his mark) based on how they feel subconsciously I’d say that emotional vulnerability is probably the explanation. He feels like he can be hurt emotionally so…

So when does this become an Olympic sport? I say we start a petition to get human horse running and jumping into the 2020 Olympics.

I guess I’m not seeing how this is all that different then the current state of things. It’s why people are generally required to have car insurance to begin with.

But if you use false information how will the travelers from the future who need your body to save the world know how to properly impersonate you after they rewrite your brain? Think of the trouble that could cause for the director.

Get the CW app. You can grab it from the windows store or the Android store (might be on iOS as well). You can watch free with adds. Most CW shows are on it. Note you want the CW app not CW Seed they’re different.

I'm just imagining what the male octopus must have been thinking while being groped by an octopus high on MDMA.

There are names for higher derivatives but they are so rarely used that there is no standardization. Way back in undergrad classical mechanics my professor called the 4th derivative snatch. Since then I've also heard snap and jounce. Snap specifically as part of a set including crackle (5th) and pop (6th) because…

As far as I can tell it is doing very rudimentary spatially resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy which can give you some degree of elemental and concentration information depending on the number of X-ray energies used in the incoming beam. Even two energies is enough to make some educated guesses on what you’re…

I’m going to preface this with a disclaimer. What I’m about to use is a model and no model is ever actually reality we just try to get as close as we can.

As far as I understand it that’s about right. Basically the amount of that the X-rays are absorbed as a function of the energies of the X-rays is fairly unique (the plot will have a certain shape) and is modulated in overall intensity by the amount of stuff (density) the X-rays passed through. The more X-ray energies…

I think you may be slightly confused. Black body radiation is a result of thermal oscillations and thus the frequencies of light emitted from a black body is dependent on the temperature of that body. Black body radiation is modeled using Planck’s law of black body radiation from which you can derive the…

He made 28,000 disks and planned to sell them to repair shops. His company seems to be located near LA. I highly doubt he could sell a fraction of that in his immediate area and I also doubt anyone ships used out of date computers very far because there is almost always a local source and the margins are tiny. In…

Out of curiosity you do know he was going to sell them for a quarter a piece. A quick Amazon search tells me that $0.25 is about half the price of a single rewritable CD when not bought in bulk. While he definitely bought in bulk he also had them packaged, written to, and shipped to the US.
