So roughly half the the annual budget of ICE?

Yeah I think Basterds is probably the most undeniably great, even if it's not my favourite. He even calls his shot with the last spoken line being “i think this might be my masterpiece”. Probably my favourite thing about cinema is how

Funnily enough I deeply dislike Django too and think Reservoir Dogs is good but extremely raw and unrefined. My favourites of his are probably Once upon a time, Jackie Brown and Deathproof, with an honourable mention for Basterds.

You're not alone. I find it pretty dull, manipulative and schmaltzy. This is the great thing about art, there's no objective measurement, people are free to disagree and like what they like.

This pattern is repeated down through the entire history of film. The problem isn't the films its you getting older.

I wouldn't even rate pulp fiction highly on Tarantino's filmography. I tried watching it recently and found it to be incredibly pretentious and overwritten.

This thread will immediately disappear off the front page once some Americans wake up.

Thanks to the person who wrote this. It resonates very strongly with me.

Makes sense, using an office suite hosted by a hostile power isn't a very smart longterm strategy.

Genuinely hilarious that this is banned off the front page. A YC alum is calling people who publish data terrorists and the fascism apologist bros are like "this site isn't for politics"

Crazy stuff, I've been playing for 40 years since I was 3 and I could maybe just about play some of those pieces with a lot of practice! I hope you can still get some joy from playing, that's probably way more important than wheth

Dunno if I could handle everyone hugging me and telling me how much they loved me.

Yep we probably reached "CD quality" at 1080p to be honest. i.e. a level beyond which the vast majority of people won't be able to perceive a quality difference. We definitely reached it at 4k at a size/distance of most

The other way people get confused about Kessler syndrome is that they imagine it's like the movie Gravity where it happens suddenly rather than a slow process that plays out over years/decades.

Are starlink satellites in sun synchronous orbits? Doesn't constant solar heating change the energy balance quite a bit?

The notion that wing turbines have not advanced in recent years is absurd.

How is it a scam? Does it not actually produce electricity?

Wind is just concentrated solar if that helps you feel better

We should take a hyperloop trip together, connect our nuralinks and figure this out together. Or perhaps our optimus bots can help us understand?

Pfft that would just require setting up an entire lunar mineral extraction and refining system larger than we have on earth, just minor details.

I started on the BFI 250 greatest films this year. It's been an incredible experience so far. Lots of overlap with that list anyway.

"Intelligent charging of EVs could make your grid more resilient rather than less" Could being the important word here. With advanced load shifting and V2H all sorts of cool things could happen in the future. My point is simply th

I live in a country that is struggling to meet electricity demand as it is and our grid requires substantial investment to exploit our renewables, which are spread out and intermittent. A switch to 100% EV on the scale and pace of Norway wo

It's fantastic and to be applauded but also worth mentioning that Norway has a truly staggering amount of hydro power (130TWh/y) to support all the increased demand on the grid with carbon neutral electricity.
