I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!

Luckovich is a badass.

“I didn’t say she was crazy, I said she was fucking Goofy!”

I hope they licensed this footage appropriately and paid the voice actors scale, but I’d bet good money they didn’t.

I definitely felt the trauma of that time coming back and felt like crying at the end just due to the release of it all.

I finally watched Contagion after hearing about it since Covid. It’s eerie how many things they got right about a global pandemic: the blogger with his BS treatment, vilifying the head of the CDC… The list goes on.

I also watched the Deathstalker remake. It was okay, but that was to be expected.

I like this.

Lost. The first episode is a master-class in both “show and don’t tell” and setting up “mystery boxes.” It was downhill from there.

Flip it and you got me.

I did not know this but I believe you completely, dear stranger.

You don’t need AI to create soulless depictions of humanity, James Cameron already does that. I think he is just protecting his bread and butter from automation.

Snark aside, I grew up loving his movies. As a film student, I loved taking them apart in critique for his mastery of technical filmmaking. As a professor, I used the DVD extras from his films to show just how forward-thinking his knowledge was of VFX. But this Avatar garbage is just the result of a kid who finally leveled up enough to produce the comic book he wrote when he was 8. It’s awful.

I’m missing context on this one. I walk away from Lemmy for ONE day and…

They can rehash the Death Star plot four times, but they can’t bring back the Darksaber. I feel taken advantage of.

If they listened to the fans, everything would be Andor-level writing, Mandalorian-level characters with Clone Wars-level story and world-building.

Just do that.

Good work, thanks for the follow up!

Tears of the Kingdom and Minecraft would be important to save for their infinite playability due to their physics and craft engines. Final Fantasy 6 for story. Stellaris so people could have a competitive, chess-like monster to wrap their mind around. And Bonk for TurboGrafx16 so everyone could know that game design just doesn’t happen overnight.

8 finished episodes sitting in the can was really odd for the time. I would expect that production would be about 4 finished episodes ahead for a weekly show, and that is generous. But 8? I wonder if they finished the episodes after cancelation back then or if they did it recently.

I’d remove the existing wood, grade the soil flat and compact it. I’d then put down 2 in foam board (like in the link above) to decouple the flooring from the Earth. I would pour concrete to match the subfloor in the rest of the basement, but you don’t have to. You can go back with a pressure treated subfloor product on top of the foam, etc.

A few things to keep in mind would be making sure that you get the right height of the soil so that you have the finished flooring height you desire. Also, all this work assumes you are maintaining access to that clean out. Good luck.

Where are you building? I’m assuming this is the basement or the ground floor. What is the rest of the subfloor on that level?

Wood resting on dirt is a big no, so that is an obvious red flag. Whatever floor you put in, I’d preserve your access to that clean out. Once you answer my Qs above, I can help give you a recommendation.

Hey man, let’s take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.
