This is a good recommendation. I went into the movie thinking it would be silent. Was kind of disappointed that it wasn’t, tbh.

It’s a classic. Stupid af “science” but a fun watch. If you like the average disaster movie, you’d like this one, I bet.

Oh yeah, I saw this movie. Someone get Aaron Eckhart on the horn.

The store is now closed, please exit the building.

More like returning. This was the old model of Hollywood, where studios owned pretty much every layer of the process.

Dammit. Got too hung up on scoffing at the ‘more churches than casinos’ line to even expect the pun setup.

“Seethe” lol

I’ve had head injuries and always cringe a bit when I see them used in media as a joke or easy plot device. Brain damage is scary irl.

Need a trolly for all that baggage you dumped there? So many assumptions for a 4 panel comic.

When I went to a career center they said to basically copy paste the job description in this way. Not surprised to see something like this works, too.

Pretty sure you can see the socks through the holes.

Adds material to guard foot from high water or mud

Still has holes all over

I know “fashion” usually disregards utility, but come on. So pointless.

While I didn’t know specific dates, I’m not surprised by the ones I know by name here, tbh. Flavorful food was a luxury for most until relatively recently, and along with the large cultural changes going on last century, these all make sense.

I think that would confuse things more than it would help. It’s base 5, unless it’s base 10, unless it’s base 50, etc. And then there’s the rules designating numbers 1 below certain other numbers, or 2 below, depending on the system being used. That’s a whole web of complications when communication is already murky.

One glyph to one integer communicates the number system being used more clearly.

It’s only 15 to us because we use base 10 (or 9+1). Like how we have 4 through 9, but that aliens in the picture only count up to 3.

In the case of a mismatch, the culture using the higher base would just translate down (Base 21+1 in the given scenario).

Single units would probably be the simplest method, but also wildly impractical as the base gets higher. You really want to count each digit just to figure out someone uses Base 100?

Huh, that’s a good point. A better universal naming system would be something like “Base x+1”, with x being one integer lower than 10. So humans would use Base 9+1, and the alien would use Base 3+1.

*This has been on my mind all day and the more I think about it, the more obvious it becomes how fundamentally terrible the name “Base-10” is. How did this never occur to the people who coined the term? Even the system I suggested is flawed as it’s still trying to incorporate the same bad logic.

A better system would be something like Base 9, stopping shy of the respective 10 in each system, or if it needs to be clarified, Base 9+0, as 0 is the extra digit in the first place, not 10.

Pittsburgh is the Midwest/East Coast neutral territory.

The crux of it is that the name developed along with the expansion of the US, ie from the east coast. From that reference point, everything else was “The West”, just with varying degrees of distance.

The problem is the idea that blockbusters are 100% of what’s available. Find a smaller/indie theater in your area, or just find smaller movies online. Theres plenty of creativity out there. We just have to go find it.
