Open two Chrome tabs at the same time.

Alien, zombie, monster, catastrophe, etc movies and shows. Obviously not all of them, but the genre in general.

Many people complain these shows only work because the characters act stupid, and it’s true.

BUT: a) what’s the alternative? Not having these shows at all? b) People are stupid even without a catastrophe. What makes you think we suddenly all develop a brain when there’s an alien invasion, or zombie outbreak? If Covid showed us anything, than that there’s a very large part of the population who’d go out of their way to act against everyone’s best interest.

At first I thought you would talk about Magic the Gathering. My confusion increased with every sentence.

Just curious, why do you think a ring would predate the elevator?

(Not OP) Because simply from a construction-point-of-view it’s achievable now. Unlike a space elevator, a ring could actually be built and used with today’s materials.

I’m as much intrigued by the concept as I am confused. It’s hard to put into words, really. At the very beginning they say something along the lines that he needs to “feel” it, pure intuition, because because he needs to have done it already. Chills me every time because it’s such a fantastic idea. Like is he writing it into existence the moment he/someone travels back (doing things they “did” already). Or was it actually in the timeline already, and he did do those things which he is about to do now. According to the “window in the time switching room” explanation it should be the second option, but the first one would still work imo. I’m absolutely positively confused, and I love it.

Btw the movie lacks a scene, where he absolutely fumbles it, because he’s thinking what to do, instead of using his instincts to reverse-do what he has done already. But then: Could he fumble it, considering he did it already?

Last thought: while traveling back do they get younger, or older? Even the oxigen cycle reverses (hence the masks)…

At the same time we stop believing everything we read on the internet. As told to us by the people who now happily believe every oh so absurd made up bullshit on the internet or TV.

What happened? I also worked with the JIRA API (on-prem tho), and didn’t run into bigger troubles.

The only thing I really dislike is the “discovery” process. I don’t have much to compare it to, but going through /createmeta/ and what keys are allowed/work or not and how to get to the correct service, and what data is shown or not. Maybe I did it wrong.

But I’m curious, why are Europeans so horrified by the idea of heating water in the microwave?

Not op. But I’m really curious about the whole “microwave water” thing.

For me it’s just a completely foreign idea. Maybe because electric kettles are so ubiquitous over here. Like everyone has one, including office kitchens and hotel rooms.

I’m also curious over the practicality. Doesn’t it spill over? What kind of container do you use to hold the water? For example if you want one cup of tea, do you just put a cup of water into the microwave? Depending on the container, do you watch it the whole time?

I understand why one may use the microwave to heat water, I also understand it works, but the idea of actually doing it is… mystifying.
