Zero Mission, AM2R, Super & Fusion is basically the perfect run of games. I do agree that Super Metroid is the best and if you can only play one that’s the one to go with.

If you’re able Metroid Dread on the Switch is the perfect continuation.

Also did you play AM2R on that device? I thought it only ran on Windows.

I’ve never been hit so hard by a YouTube video until his final video, “so long nerds”. Just an excellent Minecraft YouTuber, funny and with a heart of gold. I look forward to the documentary about his life.

I assume the person making the dough is also prepping by chopping vegetables and meats, as well as babysitting the machine.

Zero people is impossible (since regardless someone has to load the machine), but reducing from 3 down to 2 or down to 1, that could be possible.

Exactly, the dough alone is a whole job. I found other robots online that pull dough balls directly from a fridge and press them out, so those seem like they would save time.

And those robots also put the pizza into the oven, remove it, and cut it.

if you’re doing all three of those steps, dough, toppings and cooking, that would save some time.

You do still need someone for prep, making the dough balls, cutting most ingredients, filling the various machines, etc. But those robots could be helpful at reducing labor costs. Could being the key word.

If these things break I don’t know how long they take to fix. Sure people “break” too, but they’re easier to swap in.

Kindell previously used Picnic’s robots at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners, a baseball team.

Usually, he’d need about 10 people to make pizza in such a setup. With the robots that number fell to just two.

So I’m not familiar with the T-Mobile Park setup and I don’t know which specific robot they used, but I found a video demo of the Picnic robot. There is no way that system reduces the number of employees from 10 to 2.

First off you don’t need 10 people to make a pizza. The robot does the “toppings” step, which is the easiest step. You know how I know it’s the easiest step? When you have kids pizza making parties guess which step the kids do? The toppings step.

If he had said it takes 3 people to make a pizza and the robot brings it down to 2, or that the robot speeds up production by 30% or so, that’s believable.

Also the pizza making machine is huge. You’re losing a whole prep area with that thing. If you’re only making pizza then maybe that’s ok, but most pizza places I’ve been too also make sandwiches or other things. A robot making things is a novelty so maybe if you plan a new restaurant with this specifically in mind you can justify the space, but I don’t see this fitting into an existing kitchen.

When I was much younger my mother and sister were baking cookies. My mother removed some finished cookies from the oven and clearly instructed my sister "Do not touch, it’s very hot’ and my sister verbally acknowledged my mother’s warning.

My mother turned her back for a moment to clean some dishes or something only to immediately hear my sister screaming. She had put her tounge on the hot pan trying to lick a cookie. Logically your tongue isn’t "touching ".

This fool waited until they were an adult. My sister was way ahead.

Seems to cover the same content. Source is a tweet so it’s possible it was taken down because despite the tweet saying confirmed there is no source.

Edit: “Source” tweet below.

That same study also includes this figure,

But the study doesn’t measure other surfaces or things like “a nearby sink” or “a hand towel”. Perhaps for airborne particles they roam more freely, but what about surface particles? I feel like there is more to study.

So I was going to say that in general theaters won’t play films that are unrated or rated NC-17, although you might get a small independent theater to play an unrated film.

However in article discussing the film Terrifier 3,

Before the pandemic, few movie theaters would book a title that didn’t have a rating, because of strict limits on TV advertising, among other things. But times have changed, and Terrifier 3 was able to secure a berth in 2,513 cinemas.

…had [Terrifier 3] been submitted, it risked receiving an NC-17 rating, meaning that no one 17 or younger could buy a ticket, period.

theaters carrying the film, including the three biggest circuits (AMC, Cinemark and Regal), are treating Terrifier 3 as if it were an R-rated film

So it sounds like an unrated film could play in a major theater. However the film Terrifier 3 is a horror film and likely has a lot of violence, which culturally speaking Americans are more ok with. Your example is around sex which Americans are usually more taboo about.

Obviously it depends on the film, but I think if you made a film you think would get an NC-17 rating, you’d be better off releasing it as unrated and then trying to convince (major) theaters the film will be successful enough to make money in order to get it shown.

She’s apparently strongly rumored to play,

So technically this new film isn’t based on a book, but really that’s just a difference between “screenplay by” and “written by”. One of the central characters of the new film wrote a book and I’m confident Aaron Sorkin read that book, but it isn’t technically based on that book.

It’s a companion piece or spiritual sequel.

The first film, “The Social Network” was based on a book with the screenplay written by Aaron Sorkin, and directed by David Fincher.

This film, “The Social Reckoning” is written by Aaron Sorkin as well as being directed by Aaron Sorkin.

Can Aaron Sorkin write and direct a good film? Yes, he has in the past I would expect he has again.

I expect what makes this less of a sequel is the focus. The first film was focused on Mark Zuckerberg the person. This film seems to be more focused on Facebook the company and the people involved in the 2021 leak.. Don’t get me wrong, Jeremy Strong us going to play an excellent lizard person Mark Zuckerberg, but compared to the last film it’s going to be a big jump in character.

It’s me, I’m the character with the tragic backstory.

There’s a Hamich prequlel movie coming soon as well.

In November, it’s the reason they’re putting out this five film run.

I like Ghost Rider. I like Ryan Gosling. He certainly wouldn’t have been my pick, but let’s see how it goes.

So that’s a different problem, but yes.

This is a clear shutdown of an existing service.

That was a transfer gone wrong. It went especially wrong because the transfer doesn’t have a guarantee of data. Pokemon games have a weird obsession with data possibly being duplicate. Heaven forbid someone have duplicates of Pokemon.

Ad blocking is done client side in the browser, it’s impossible to hide.

You can obfuscate, but you can do that now.

Why would I be pissed that you don’t eat cake? That’s more cake for me.
