The Martian was excellent.
The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was a hell of a lot of fun.
I’m guessing that’s (cartoons or movies) (made for kids), not (cartoons) or (movies made for kids) - so the Spiderverse moves were also excellent.
Stereo vision
Handwriting or drawing ability beyond that of a 6yo
The ability to follow a conversation with more than about 4 people in the room, and for crowd noise not to flip into a gibbering hellscape.
Lie on the beach in winter: the sun is pathetically un-warm.
Adjusting the angle at which you recline won’t make the sun any warmer.
So your intuition is off here.
Imagine someone puts an opaque shell around the earth at cruising altitude, and cuts a metre-square window in it.
Put that window directly over the equator, wait for noon. You will have a metre-square patch of sunlight on the ground.
As the sun heads towards the horizon, the patch of sunlight stretches into a long east-west tail, just like a long shadow.
The same amount of energy is coming through the window, but it’s spread over a much larger area on the surface, so there’s fewer watts-per-square-cm hitting the ground.
Now move that window north 30 degrees. Wait until noon, and the patch is already smeared into a long tail north-south, and that’s before applying any east-west smear. As the sun heads for the horizon, it’s going to be even more spread out into a great big enormous oblong, extended in both directions.
Now, entirely replace that shell with windows, and through the raytracing gets more involved, the same principles are at work.
That’s why mornings and evenings are cold, that’s why winter is cold, that’s why it gets colder towards the poles. You’re getting a smaller and smaller share of the sunlight hitting the area where the earth is.
Most of them are very conventionally-boring though.
Hear me out: pretty much all the goblin chicks from BG3.
Slimy, yet satisfying.
Sure, why not (assuming the girl isn’t 15 or something)
Teenagers gonna teenager, and the best way to ensure they teenager safely is to give them a safe environment to teenager in and the security to know they don’t need to sneak around.
I use dashes all the fucking time, mainly becasue I feel selfconscious about the number of semicolons I’d otherwise use.
I have a bajillion old (pre APIgate) posts on reddit, so perhaps some of the blame for the AI penchant for the things rests on my shoulders. Sorry 'bout that.
edit: :reads harder: oops, as opposed to normal hyphens. Yeah, nobody human got time for that.
Like they’re talking into a pickle jar.
Australian here.
You sound like a cross between a duck lure and a dog stuck in reverse.
Where do you think lawyers come from?
Depends on the pain.
If it’s joints or ligaments, stop immediately. Coddle the shit out of them.
Muscles, treat them like dirt, get shit done.
Yeah, frozen puff pastry is a go-to ingredient. You just won’t catch me making it by hand because as my grandmother used to say, bugger that for a game of soldiers.
My kid’s 18 and thinks he’s a fucking loser.
Croissants. Tasty and pretty, but a ridiculous amount of fiddly work with all the rolling and folding.
Ditto puff pastry from scratch.
Pavlova is almost boringly simple, though.
Beat eggwhites and sugar for ages with a little vinegar along the way, dump onto a parchment lined baking sheet, bake - then turn off the oven, leave the door open a crack and leave a few hours to slowly cool.
Instead of making a big intricate arrangement with the fruit, go rustic with it - bowl of sugared berries, bowl of whipped cream, dollop of each on each slice.
