If "A Major" in the title was intentional, then bravo!

Honestly I'd be exited to be able to meet the composer anyway, and maybe give him a pat on the head.

ME TOO! MY BIG BROTHER SAID IT'S CAPS UNLOCK BUT I CAN'T FIND THAT KEY ANYWHERE.

the Borderlands movie I would have loved will never exist.

For me it's Monster Hunter. I refuse to watch the one they made a few years ago. I wonder if there's a supercut of only scenes that feature the monsters. Or anything involving the Charge Blade.

After reading the synopsis, why tf did they have to make it an isekai?

And even if that bullet traveled at escape velocity it would only end up in a slightly more eccentric orbit. If my mental model is right, they would have to wait until a bit after sunset and shoot straight up to send it in the right direction while encountering the least atmospheric drag.

Thanks for expanding my vocab! "Screed" is a great word for his insane ramblings.

Yeah, I'm aware that all or numbers and models are, at best, representative of what is really happening. That's what I love about the limits of our knowledge: there always something more to learn.

I wonder how spacetime around a black hole's ergosphere is represented by the "flow" analogy. Maybe like water swirling around a drain?

That's perfectly valid. With the gold thing, I was referring to the fact that people say it verbatim as I typed, (seemingly) every time. IMO it feels less genuine when someone doesn't thank another using their own words.

By the way, your respectful disagreement is another reason why I like Lemmy. Courtesy seems to be more common over here :D

That's a really interesting perspective. I don't think I've ever seen it described that way before, but it's very easy for me to grasp. Do you have any resources I can look into for more information? Does that concept have a name I can look up?

I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the "Super Nintendo" we also had.

Along with everyone else's great points, I'm so glad I don't have to suffer through another "thanks for the gold, kind stranger!" Or yet another painful comment chain of "puns" that are more like weak rhyming/word association, often reusing the same tired phrases. That entire place is so boring and uncreative.

Long live Lemmy!

Lever guy should be smiling for being presented with the easiest decision of his life.

 

Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!
