I absolutely miss this era of gaming, when mechanics and genres weren't yet fully set in stone and the different layers of games interacted in creative ways. I don't think there's a collective hole in the memory of that era,

No, they are not. Imagine some construction work with heavy drilling outside your bedroom window.

Hey, aliens aren't stupid! They know that we've got more cameras nowadays and are more careful because of it.

From moviegoers point-of-view it has made a world of difference. For a smaller release the number of film copies we had in circulation here in Finland was miniscule and there was no chance of seeing those movies outside the bigger cities. W

Yes, this would be my hypothesis too. I see Hollywood epics all the way from D.W. Griffith (and the studios that made them) wanting to broadcast an aura of gravitas. And nothing does that like using pretentious Roman numerals. Of course it&

If you want to differentiate between mammals and other vertebrates you could simply say "other vertebrates".

Personal anecdote. I remember dragging myself to measure theory classes at 8am and constantly struggling with the material, even if I'd had a good night's sleep. After a few weeks I called quits on this insanity and switched to se

Exactly this, and they are ubiquitous. With software I think it might be a slightly different matter as the company mighy have access to software you couldn't otherwise afford. But it's a red flag anyways ... why would you ever wa

As a former national-level 10km runner I can very much second this training regimen. However if your starting point is sedentary you are probably better off doing something that you like and can commit to, be it high-intensity or otherwise.

Definitely. Though there are exceptions. Led Zeppelin comes to mind first.

I immediately thought of that story as I saw the map! Sad the del Toro movie never got made.

Don't understand the downvotes but I do disagree. What the industry needs is not overtly racist hiring practises but rather people who are aware of these issues and have the know-how and the power to address them. I'll take an exa

Play with a deck of cards instead of dice! 36 cards, six sevens, five eights and sixes and so on.

Entertainment, addiction, corporate-sponsored years and tennis. It’s still pretty relevant!

I was so immersed in the book on my first read-through I ended up skipping the footnotes because I found jumping between them and the main text a bit jarring. At that point I was certain I’d read this one again so it was also fun to have so

The first time I read Infinite Jest I was expecting something as inaccessible as Ulysses or Gravity’s Rainbow but ended up finding the book pretty readable and a total delight. And but so I would highly recommend it, just take the off-beat

I just (re)watched Heat last night and when I saw this article/thread I immediately thought of that scene! BTW there’s a sequel novel coming out in couple of weeks https://www.amazon.com/Heat-2-Novel-Michael-Mann/d

I’d guess not. Ivanovich is the patronym of the pseudonym, the full pseudonym thus being Kirill Ivanovich Krechetov. Unless you meant Krasnodarski Krai which refers to a place, not a person.

I'd highly recommend "Gödel's Proof" by Ernest Nagel and James Newman ( https://www.amazon.com/G%C3%B6dels-Proof-Ernest-Nagel/dp/081... ). It'll probably require a bit of patience to go thro

Finnish has highly regular pronunciation with almost 1-to-1 correspondance between letters and sounds. In the first clip English is read as if it was Finnish, using Finnish pronunciation rules. Works pretty well as Finnish would be pronounc
