I don’t know about the latter two - or even remember his performance in them - but he was definitely problematic for Requiem, where he was repeatedly fainting on set, as the result of losing 30 pounds, living on the streets and injecting himself with water.

That’s possible, but it could be the other way around: she has a real kitchen with chefs, and this is her play-kitchen where she spends time organising things and feeling like she’s in charge. It probably lets her feel that she’s able to feed herself without the chefs, and reassures her that she’s “keeping it real”,…

Aside from being obsessive, it’s also the kitchen of someone with an eating disorder. How many identical tins of mediocre identical soup does one millionaire need!? That’s not having a favourite, that’s seriously restrictive selective eating!

But that’s an argument against whomever cast him in the role. Whether that was right or wrong, once he’s in the role surely it’s even worse if he DOESN’T try to understand the experience he’d trying to convey?

Yeah, frankly this sounds pretty mild on all three of the “being weird about acting”, “being annoying on set” and “being problematic in terms of representation and appropriation” scales. If the worst that’s going on on set is that an actor playing a character who uses crutches continues to use crutches around the…

But imagine how bad Leto’s acting might be if he DIDN’T stay in character!

It’s exactly as the guy said: they don’t need to build all their own software (and they shouldn’t do!), but they do need to understand the software they buy in, and how best to integrate it with other software, with the mechanics, and with the human interface.

A lot of them at Hitachi, apparently. As with Raytheon, they have a lot of military contracts, but they also do cars.

I know a lot of people who would not have been that smart as teenagers, myself included. A lot of children of rich parents are not that smart. As I said, there’s no reason to think she was a genius, but she does seem to have been a reasonably smart kid.

I don’t think we really need any conspiracy theory to explain ticket prices: prices are high because demand is high and supply is extremely limited. Prices are lower for races where either supply is greater (lots of seating) or demand is lower (poorer countries, tracks in the middle of nowhere with poor transport…

There’s three types of con artist: those who know it’ll fail eventually but don’t care; those who know it’ll fail eventually but tell themselves their false beard and the peruvian passport in their air vent will save them; and those who are certain that if they live their truth, manifest their joy, stand up and claim…

Grade 1 does apply to the track, yes. A lot of circuits will be Grade 1 for one track layout, but Grade 2 (etc) for another. Silverstone, Suzuka and the Nurburgring all have both Grade 1 and Grade 2 layouts. The requirements are quite specific and publically available, for new tracks. [and yes, width is included: 12m…

This should be emphasised. Jalopnik may as well be shilling for ivermectin. Except that CBD is arguably worse: unlike CBD products, ivermectin is produced to medical standards and has been exhaustively tested for interactions and side-effects.

Semantically singular ‘they’ has been a thing since at least the 14th century if not earlier, and it pretty much always takes plural agreement.

Longer version:

Yeah, it’ll take some re-calibration. There are also questions about where the zones go and where the detection points go: Saudi was weird because the important detection line was in the braking zone of one of the few corners where you could legitimately overtake; which on the one hand was great because it created…

“Likely true. You don’t go to F1 races for the racing. You go for the atmosphere.”

It also negates the whole premise of the article to point out that only 2 of the 20 drivers seem to care enough (or be safe enough) to speak out on these issues. The GPDA is just the drivers, it’s not some magical righteous third party that will do all the things the drivers ‘should’ do but don’t want to. Indeed, the…

It’s believable that Rock would have staged it; but I don’t understand why Smith would have staged it. Unless he’s planning a major career reinvention, being seen around the world hitting a guy in the face and then crying about it doesn’t seem like it would fit his brand at all. It’s hard to see how it benefits him.…
