This is a movie where they invent a super-dinosaur that can change color. I don’t think they put a lot of effort into one character’s deep-seated insecurities and projection.

Seriously? This is the hill you choose to die on first thing in the morning? There’s no function to how high the toner is piled on a sheet of paper before it’s melted on; it’s an accident of the process. Fuck me.

No, no we don’t. When depth is close enough to zero that it takes tools with incredibly high sensitivity to measure a meaningful change, it’s 2-D printing.

I am totally not interested in their in-movie justifications for dinosaurs not having feathers. “Something something genetically modified?”

You’re aware this is a movie staring characters. We’re not lamenting the FAKE CGI DINOSAURS killing her, we’re lamenting the DIRECTOR choosing to kill her in such an awful manner you socicopath

I’ve beat this dead horse into the ground a dozen times over by now, but if I go to a Jurassic movie, it’s because I want to see dinosaurs. Maybe they’re named wrong, or run too fast, but I can suspend disbelief enough to imagine that what I’m seeing is what actually stomped around the planet 100 million years ago.…

Not mention the power the superhero suits have symbols and story tools. There is something inherently interesting when a black man is representing the ideals of America despite the history and current political, and economic climate for black people. There is something inherently interesting about a women dying of…

So you’re confirming that the pejorative has no basis in reality, then.

Really, it sounds a lot more like how Rush Limbaugh tried to make ‘liberal’ an insult, by bascially exaggerating, making straw men, and lying out his butt. When people don’t want to be thought of as these exaggerated strawmen, it lets the otherside win far to easily.

Oh, so using it as an insult is about creating absurd straw men and in no way a reflection of reality.

Except that’s a massive and overblown exaggeration of most people characterized as “SJWs.” At this point the term is basically used as an ad hominem attack against anyone who’s more concerned with social issues than the person who’s doing the labeling is comfortable with.

I get to use my new favorite meme again!

Fender is known for making some really great amplifiers. Doesn’t really translate to car audio, but still.

It’s not education, it’s culture. Germans have a very regimented, disciplined culture. They follow the rules and are generally responsible; it’s been bred into them for generations... Americans are basically the opposite.

There’s so little information, it could be just about anything if you properly rationalize it.

Yep - It’s also a car you buy to drive the wheels off over 15+ years/250,000 miles with minimal issues. No Audi product is going to ever have that reliability, and good luck wrenching out the inevitable electronic gremlins that arise in nearly every modern German luxury brand.

Your Audi also costs twice as much and is half as reliable, so there’s that.

But that’s the point, the Outback is what you want to buy if you want something that is kinda boring but is quiet about it. Like a middle child in a religious family, it just wants to do what it has to and not get too much attention.

It would take a ludicrous amount of delta-v to capture orbiting space junk. In fact, I'm pretty sure io9 has run a bunch of articles about how difficult the problem is. Space junk is in a huge variety of orbital planes and eccentricities, and you'd have to somehow change those orbits to match with where you needed…
