5,400 | > latest cars are still designed and spearheaded in Sweden, and they've been nothing short of incredible. They're better under Geely then they ever were under Ford. KIAs cars are designed and developed in Europe, by top specialists with experience at Audi and BMW and it's still a Korean manufacturer. | Still not seeing a problem with that. Car manufacturing is a global business, my car is designed by Japanese, built in the UK and sold in the US. It's nothing new. |
5,401 | I remember hearing a cover of this song on the "Trainspotting" soundtrack. I didn't realize it was a cover, until recently. | Just checked it out. The cover is pretty good. |
5,402 | Even if the truth were that simple, it still wouldn't contradict what I just said... but Microsoft is also an entity that's run by human beings. Let's not pretend like everything in the world should be divided into good or evil. | Please, don't be so naive - you wont become a market leader in such an important field by beeing the "nice guy". Companies will be led by greed 95% of the time. |
5,403 | I also would like to hear the story from GRRM's perspective. I am not convinced it will ever happen. Part of the issue is that GRRM did a very poor job in the 4th and 5th books allowing the plot to spiral out of control. Rather than put familiar characters in new circumstances, he mostly introduced new characters in new circumstances and checked-in on existing characters. How do you satisfactorily wrap up a plot going in 100 directions? I think what we're learning is that you can't. | His eyes may have been bigger than his stomach. He created a whole world. How ambitious is that? |
5,404 | $/Watt is also highly dependent on location. Rooftop solar probably works pretty damn well in most of Australia, that doesn't mean places like Europe and the Northeast US are going to approach the costs of coal anytime soon. The only real hope for solar in those places is concentrated solar power stations. Which are also approaching being cost effective over coal but do use a traditional power grid to deliver. | > $/Watt is also highly dependent on location. Of course. The same goes for geothermal, hydroelectric, natural gas, and yes, even coal. You said coal works great in the northeastern US, but even getting coal past the Sierra Nevada mountains into California would be incredibly expensive. |
5,405 | I'm so far into my Google Play Music subscription and offline library that I can't switch now. I'd lose everything I've built up over the last nearly two years. | I'm tempted to switch from Spotify to Google Music. I have some songs that I just can't get on Spotify. |
5,406 | You know what would *really* increase the usage? Bring it to more countries where NFC is already common | I'd love to use it here in Australia, most terminals have NFC already, but Google has said they have "no interest" in rolling out Wallet here. It's absurd. |
5,407 | Sex and Fury and it's sequel Female Yakusa Tale - [NWS fight scene] 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Shogun Assassin. Master of the Flying Guillotine | Oh man. That fight scene was fucking hilarious! Sex and Fury is definitely on my list, now. Thanks for the recommendations! |
5,408 | I always thought the little hardware dongles that generate a time sensitive code were a great solution. No idea why they're not more popular, or why I have to BUY them from people like paypal. But yeah, use a password manager to generate secure passwords and then pray to god that it never becomes compromised/corrupted. | You need to carry additional dongle and if you use 10 services will you have 10 dongles with you all the time? And in addition there is summer/winter times, time zones etc.. As some sort of compromise it might be app on mobile phone, who simulates hardware dongle. |
5,409 | ublock is a general purpose *content* blocker whose default and most commonly used settings are to block ads. If you go into settings you can easily subscribe to blocklists that also block tracking and social media. IMHO running both ublock + ghostery at the same time is redundant, provided you check a couple additional boxes in ublock to more or less replicate ghostery functionality. | You can subscribe to more block lists sure but an extension like privacy badger is going to scan whats left of the page after the block list is applied. It actively tracks whats tracking you heuristically so will catch things that aren't added to the block list yet. Additionally it gives you feedback on what its blocking and what its allowing, and if you want to temporarily unblock one element that is breaking a page it makes it much easier to do so. |
5,410 | Cabin in the Woods sucked. And yes, I get what it's supposed to be. Doesn't make it any better. | I only watched it after the cult following proclaimed one of the best horror movies ever.. was dissappoint |
5,411 | I'm not sure about the rest of you but I can't stand the new single. I need at least a little Damon on my Gorillaz tracks. | i think it's a decent track, but i agree that lacking damon albarn doesn't help it. |
5,412 | All you need to watch the stream on a PC is Quicktime. | They stated that before the stream started, but an hour before the actually start they changed it to OSX/iOS only. VLC sort of worked by retrieving the streamlink, but that crashed with every bit of stutter, and it stuttered a lot, so basically, not watchable on non-OSX |
5,413 | Eesh. They sure did. Ah well. No wu's is good wu's I guess. | Wu-Tang Forever was so underwhelming that I just gave up on it after that. Their first album was amazing and that's all they had. They are all better off just doing solo stuff because they seem to do their best stuff then. |
5,414 | What genre are you most interested in reading? I may have some. | I will add this to the description, but I prefer fantasy/sci-fi. |
5,415 | The Antlers - *Hospice* Yeah I know it's an album but it's not really something that works in terms of stand-out tracks. For those who don't know - it's a concept album about a hospice worker who falls in love with a dying patient. Reading the lyric sheet along with the album is notorious for turning grown men into blubbering wrecks. | I heard that the singer was actually visiting a hospice while writing it. Either way, it is beautifully done. |
5,416 | don't assume he's so great his admiration of childish ignorance crosses over quite fully into religious fanaticism. he believed strongly in a black and white moral reality where it is good versus evil. he thought that religious skepticism is a horrible sin and killed off all the kids in the end of Narnia and sends Susan to hell for being into boys. he was insanity religiously conservative tbh. I'd recommend the golden compass it's quite a great book and does a great job at deconstructing a lot of Lewis' damaging rhetoric | The Pevensie's die and find a reality infinitely better than the one they were in. With no more pain or suffering. (Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe was set in WWI if I remember right). Susan convinces herself that Narnia was a figment of her imagination and it was just a game they played when they were little. She denied something that actually happened because it wouldn't fit into her worldview. That miles away from being sent "to hell for being into boys". |
5,417 | Your anti-virus is censoring your internet. Try to find serial keys for it as well; they probably try to block those pages too. Very common for paid AV programs to "protect" you from things they think you shouldn't have access to but are otherwise perfectly safe. | It's Chrome or the Android browser giving the message, sorry for leaving that out. It was on an Android tablet, it doesn't happen on PC apparently. |
5,418 | Yeah Creep was a megahit... like 25 years ago, and tbh i could list off 100 other radiohead songs that id rather hear live. Nowadays they only play creep as a sort of meme | And Seven Nation Army was 15 years ago. Any fan who goes to on of these shows can name other songs. Don’t put Radiohead above everyone else just because you like them or for whatever other reason. |
5,419 | I've seen the Bootlegs three or four times now, they're fab. | Saw them in the Quays in Galway. Can confirm they were Fab. |
5,420 | This pleases me. Is it a good mix of joy + melancholy? | I don't wanna spoil anything. The city of stars trailer makes it seem almost Lynchian, like Mulholland Drive. It's not like that AT ALL. |
5,421 | Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. Doesn't get much better than that. | I'm surprised this doesn't have more upvotes. De Niro practically invented the method actor. |
5,422 | GM and Ford have been selling EVs for years now. And they don't buy batteries from Tesla. GM buys them from LG. Tesla buys them from Panasonic and will continue to do so. | GM and Ford have been selling a few thousand EVs, but if they want to ramp up production into the millions of units then they will need to seriously commit to electric cars and build a gigantic battery factory first. Neither of those companies are showing any indication of ramping up to the type of production necessary to compete with Tesla. Tesla is leaving the old-style auto companies in the dust. |
5,423 | Its having trouble connecting to Grooveshark at the moment. | Yeah, reddit happened and we reached the API limits. I'm trying to fix it right now. |
5,424 | I'm pretty sure rappers have a secret betting pool on who can get the most "featuring" credits in pop songs each year | Quavo has like a crap ton of features this year. Lil Wayne is like the king of features |
5,425 | > They've gone ahead and done something about it on their own. What do you mean? Climeworks is a Swiss and EU government funded project. | Government funded /= force everything politically. These orgs have created a piece of technology instead of pushing laws. If you want to be a nit-pick, then go ahead. I am merely expressing joy at seeing this type of solution. |
5,426 | > When you get a brain. Yeah, cause anyone who doesn't have exactly the same taste in literature as you must be stupid, amirite? | Not at all: he asked when Dune got good. Dune's popularity and decoration are not for no reason: it **is** a good novel. The question was flawed, because it didn't reveal the OP's subjective version of what constitutes good. Therefore, my answer was just as disrespectful as the question. Sure, I'll get downvoted into oblivion for that, but Christ (lol), this is the books subreddit: not scifi. |
5,427 | I'm liberal, I hated the Army, I don't like guns, and I don't own a truck. TRY AGAIN. See, this right here is one of the main reasons I hated Snowpiercer so badly: It's objectively a SHITE film, but because it tickles people's leftist-Occupy-Sanders ideology, they love it. And they insinuate that anyone who calls it to the carpet for *being* a shite film is somehow a reactionary. The movie is a piece of shit. | It's got 85 on Metacritic and 93 on RT. It's objectively a great film. |
5,428 | I thought this book was ridiculously stupid. Overly forced methaphor, simplistic, condescending, and cheesy. I really can't see how anyone gets anything out of it. It basically just says "When situations change, you can't stay stuck on your own same rigid ways of thinking." But uses a bunch of pages of a crappy metaphor of people and rats in a maze looking for cheese to do it. | Abd also calls anyone who doesnt appreciate it an idiot. |
5,429 | By far the best of the series, before they went and made Freddy a franchise name that you can laugh at rather than fear. | I agree. I always hated how Freddy went from horror icon, to cheap pun slinging slapstick comedian. |
5,430 | Good to hear. I just found the characters/environments very, very 2-dimensional. Very dialogue-heavy with little to no attention paid to internal dialogue, the surroundings, etc... I read that someone likened it to more of a play than a book and that was how it felt - static backdrop used for some simple word play, next scene, etc.... I'd like to read them all as it WAS an interesting concept. I just hope the next books read more look books and less like a lifeless script. | I personally really liked the following books, except for the last one. As for almost all the "epic2 stories, writing an end that keeps up with the rest is the most challenging part. Have fun with it and let us know how it goes :D |
5,431 | I have a degree in Audio Production, have extensively studied music theory and history, I've got every album, on every medium, have seen them live over a dozen times, have had several personal conversations with Tomas Kalnoky, and can attest that the band is incredible, but also not Ska. You can read through all of /u/digestif's comments here, he's not being elitist at all, he's complimenting the music, paying homage to the artist and technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. He's not shitting on anybody or making fun of your checkerboard shorts, he's merely dispensing facts. | Is Tom the self-aware pretentious type I think he is? I'd love to talk to him one day. He's my goddamn hero. |
5,432 | You don't know the story... The storm troopers were from before the Empire. If the republic reestablished itself then it might be using them as its army (which is what they were originally) or they might be an independent army now. Who knows? | Ah that's true, if stormtroopers are just loyal remnants of the Empire then it doesn't make sense for them to have new helmets but if they're New Republic soldiers it makes sense. I just don't like the design, that's not Star Wars to me. |
5,433 | While I disagree with your opinion, I hate it when I see people getting downvoted because they voice a difference in opinion. You even asked a genuine question in your comment. 'Tis a shame. Have my Upvotes. | I think his logic is unsound. While there is a lot of unauthentic material out there, maynard is one of the musicians that actually does his own work still. He writes his songs (perhaps with occasional help or editing) and so you can't really say something he creates isn't his or that it is unauthentic, Unless he/she is maynards best friend and confidant and knows something about him personally that says otherwise. |
5,434 | Have you looked at The Secret? It's a mash up of wanky talking heads providing anecdotal accounts of how wishful thinking changed their fucking lives. | Don't you go around saying The Secret doesn't work! I mean, just reading [this review] should convince you of the error of your ways. |
5,435 | Cause its fucking amazing. It's the best prequel era stuff they ever produced. | Strange how the best episodes are literally all just Dee Bradley Baker talking to himself |
5,436 | This actually expands your customer base because if its killing people clearly it's some good shit. People in the heroin community actively seek out stuff that's known to have dropped somebody. | Yeah fucked up but true. People need to learn though, **someone dying doesn't mean it's good shit anymore**, it means it's straight fentanyl. Like before the whole fentanyl epidemic at least it made sense to seek out the "killer" dope because most of the time it was legitimately just unusually potent heroin. Now 10/10 it's fentanyl or some sketchy ass fentanyl analogue and who knows what else. But I guess heroin addicts aren't exactly known for their common sense |
5,437 | There's this anticipatory tension when Placebo performs it that you just don't get from Kate Bush. | That's for damn sure. I think much of it comes from that relentlessly 'mid-tempo' pulse (of the Placebo version) that holds the tension so effectively (especially the studio version). It's neither slow, nor fast, and (if I remember right), it stoically stays exactly at that same tempo, despite our every effort to anticipate that it might speed up (or absent that, ultimately slow down). But it does neither, thus the 'anticipatory tension' never subsides. A number Radiohead tunes do this too (this stoic 'mid-temp' trick), and some of my favorite jazz tunes do too -- much of Miles Davis' "In A Silent Way", for instance, or Joe Henderson's "Black Narcissus" -- same trick. |
5,438 | That's just not true, look at how many natives are alive in north and south America. The Spanish were the only people that had debates between jurists about the rights of the indians, look it up. | Yeah, las Leyes de Indias and Fray Bartolome de las Casas, this people refuse to accept that England was just as brutal and pernicious as Spain, even more so. |
5,439 | Yes, thank you! I've only read two authors on that list, so I definitely have a lot to pick up now. | Run, don't walk, and buy the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Very strong, real female lead. This is one of the very very few authors I have an automatic pre-order. |
5,440 | >The test for Google's Contributor program enables you to see a thank-you note instead of an advertisement on participating websites. The cost: $1 to $3 per month. | As long as i get ssh access or some backend that lets me to enable cgi and python. |
5,441 | I mean, there might be some amount of self-effacement, but I don't know how genuine it seems, because it really feels like he mostly wanted to grind his ax against the educator or school system. He also really does seem to go whole hog for the toxic nostalgia trip about how everything is worse now. | It feels like you are confusing the wants of McEwan with the wants of the author of the article. No where does he say anything about being dubious *because* his son received a C. The author of the article doesn't even say that, they just point out that him saying this occurred after his son got a c to put the idea of a causal link in your head. |
5,442 | Excellent choice. Rush have a great riff on nearly every song in my opinion, I guess some of them are a bit complex to fit what most people think of as a riff, but still. | Definitely went for the gold as far as complexity goes with Jacob's Ladder. Time signature shifting like no other song I've ever heard (until I started listening to Tool). |
5,443 | He made two mistakes. First, treating it like one clause. Second, treating suffrage as meaning the opposite of what it does. He meant something like "Votes for women! Time for suffrage!" | I hypothesize that he believes that suffrage is a form of suffering. |
5,444 | I have mixed feelings about this movie. I liked the first contact stuff, I liked the bridge building with aliens. I didn't like the idea that simply learning a new language could shift your entire ability to perceive time. It's outlandish, and doesn't jibe with the more grounded feel of the rest of the movie. Maybe if they'd said contact with the Heptapods completely rewired the human brain somehow it would've been more palatable, but just learning to think in a different language? No. Also, and this is admittedly petty of me, I loathed China's central role in the film. | Would have actually liked to learn a little bit more about linguistics, to bad this movie only has one scene were they bother to talk about it. |
5,445 | That is where we disagree--and we are just going in circles right now. It doesn't feel like it is attempting at all to me. The things you are talking about aren't deep. The movie doesn't treat them that way either. | The movie absolutely treats them like deep issues when they really aren't that deep. The Truman Show puts forth an effort to be deep. |
5,446 | You mean watch La Femme Nikita, right? edit: I know what colons and semicolons are, I'm a native English speaker. ben174 originally said "Mission of the day: Watch Victor the Cleaner". | Nope. It's the title of a mission, so he capitalized it. I will also be completing this mission sometime soon. |
5,447 | Besson has a tendency to date his actresses. Or marry them. I hope he has changed. | Something tells me he and Cara Delevingne are not a match. |
5,448 | I always preferred their first album Down Colorful Hill. [24] is much sadder than Katy Song imo. Kozelek is one of my favorite musicians. | Down Colorful Hill is a great album too, a little different from Rollercoaster. Kozelek is, IMO, one of the best songwriters in the past 20 years. |
5,449 | I also took the time to click the link, read the description, didn't download anything, and moved on. If he had taken the 15 seconds to write a brief description in the top text, he could have saved hundreds of us those 15 seconds. That's like almost half an hour total. | I like how you both confirmed and denied you defense in a very suave way there. Good show, I say! |
5,450 | Well a little more than rumor. iPhone 7 components have started popping up en many sources are confirming this now. | No, [the leaked components have confirmed that the iPhone 7 *still has a headphone jack*] The evidence directly refutes the rumors. |
5,451 | Nazi. I believe the term you're looking for is nazi. | Fairy, Nazi, It's all sixes. Besides, In my head I said it like Adam West. |
5,452 | It's a film that's really only gotten more relevant. I suppose they could do stuff with cell phones/social media/internet. | The remakes I really appreciate are the ones that have something new to say. The social commentary of the original still stands, so unless someone can think of something fresh within that context, I would prefer they leave it alone. An updated movie with new effects would probably end up feeling hollow. |
5,453 | Not only running, but smart enough to go for the stairs or door in order to get to you instead of just staggering directly towards you. However, while running "zombies" are frankly terrifying, the infected in 28 Days Later were not undead. They *should* all die within 3 (maybe 4) days of infection. Less in the person that became an infected was injured/malnourished/dehydrated before infection. Dehydration, exhaustion, or exposure would kill the infected in droves. Also, wouldn't they attack each other? If the rage virus just makes them super fucking pissed off at every living thing, then why do they tolerate each other? | Don't try reconciling that movie with any sort of logic. It'll just make you unhappy. |
5,454 | Maybe they could have an optional fee for ad-free that they tack on if the customer selects it. | Kindle does that. $10 extra to never see ads. That's why I own a Kobo now. |
5,455 | Oooohhhhhhh hamlet hamlet hamlet.... The vampire army has invaded the castle! | I'm sorry that so few people got this. It was a good reference..... it was a good reference. |
5,456 | There's a new edition just out. I sell it at my work. If you remember what the error was I can check. | I wish I could. That would’ve been almost twenty years ago. Wish I would’ve kept the letter. At the time, I was very proud. |
5,457 | In terms of quality and style, the Soaked In Bleach documentary was really well made. I expected yet another half-hearted conspiracy story, but was pleasantly surprised by how much flow the movie had. I'm still not convinced about Cobain being murdered, but I can't disagree that it was a well made flick. | To me it was the opposite. I was expecting more of the writing process and how Kurt got along with the rest of the band and other bands (Tearjerker reference) but in the end I found it a bit biased. |
5,458 | I positively love the the Weeknd, but nah. That song is fun and cool, but at the end of the day it'll fade into the back of people's memories way too quickly to be a classic or unique. Forget where the samples are from. If the sum of its parts are bubble gum pop then it's a generic song. | Oh okay. What's another song that sounds similar to it at the moment? |
5,459 | Engineers can't design for nurses. There just happens to be a lot of overlap. | Engineers dont do design. Designers design, it a totally different field. Engineers learn and do things like math, programming, solving physics problems etc. Designers with some art degree determine the user experience, the look and feel of the product. Seriously, you are writing papers on this and show such lack of basc knowledge in the topic? This is the dumbest thing I've read here since months, congrats. |
5,460 | IMO, the IMDb 250 is the absolute worst movie guide there is. It's a list based on personal taste, and that's always deeply flawed. I thoroughly enjoy watching Eurotrip. Every single time. It's a 9/10 in my book. It's also a pretty shitty movie. If I were reviewing it for others, it'd get a 5.5 at best. But people don't do that with IMDb reviews. It's a 'how much I liked it' rating. And that's just about worthless. | I agree with what you're saying but going through the 250 and picking movies that fit your interest is still a good way to pick a movie. |
5,461 | There's a "King Louie" in it? Welp, so much for a faithful adaptation of the book. Might as well get Winnie the Pooh to be Kaa again. | Listen here pal you don't talk shit about King Louie. ^I'm ^the ^king ^of ^the ^swingers... ^a ^jungle ^V.I.P... |
5,462 | I'd like to see Rebecca Ferguson as Ivy and either Emily Blunt or Eva Greene as Catwoman. All fantastic actresses | Emily Blunt should play Catwoman, then Meryl Streep should play Old Lady Catwoman in a few years, then The Devil Wears Prada 2 should cast Michelle Pfeiffer. |
5,463 | If you were to ask me for an example of the kind of hip hop music that I don't like then Hilltop Hoods is the example I would give (I'm Australian). Sorry :( | Yeah i don't think i would give any Aussie rap music as an example. Some i like but as a genre overall i would say considerable more average than British or US hip hop. Much more smoking billys by the creek and smashing scooheys new. |
5,464 | I generally read at close to 100 pages an hour, although denser and more literary texts take longer. I'm a lifelong reader, and a fast one at that from what others have told me. If you read at only half that speed it'll take you ~80 minutes a day. It's still probably not a good idea to push yourself to review lots of books if you haven't been much of a reader recently. Reading for the sake of it is better, and maybe then you can choose to only write about the stories that really speak to you. | I envy you. I normally get about 100-200 pages read a week. Thats why The Way of Kings (1,270 pgs) is taking me so long |
5,465 | "Hey, tell me the truth... are we still in the game?" "*Credits*" so good | You should definetley spoiler tag that so you don't spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it. (Like me). |
5,466 | I don't think there's anything wrong with caring about the language. I'm just doing what I can to avoid more cases of language deterioration like the fact that ["literally" now means "figuratively"] | I literally don't care about the fact that "literally" now means "figuratively". |
5,467 | Honestly the only thing that makes me like Bring Me Your Love more is the song "Sensible Heart." | Fair. That's an absolutely beautiful song. Have you heard his cover of Love Don't Live Here Anymore? Unbelievable |
5,468 | I have a feeling that this will backfire, and actually give the companies more data to work with, which will improve the accuracy of their face scanning. | I mean, isn't that the big thing about security in general, though? It's a constant push and pull, the whole thing is an arm's race. I personally don't think funky pareidolic patterns is the way to go, and it feels like a half-assed measure. |
5,469 | I have a kindle touch, really want a paper white but can't afford it. It's the only reason I read. My cousin has a tablet he reads on, and now after like 6 months he needs glasses. He got the kindle and his headaches went away. | My wife got me the Paperwhite for Christmas. Can't say enough good things about it. Very easy to read on and the light works great. Battery life is still good too. I started with a Kindle Keyboard almost two years ago, and gave that to my wife when she got me the Kindle Fire last year. I still love the Kindle Fire, but it's much easier to read on the Paperwhite. I also found that I enjoy reading more on the Kindle than a physical book. |
5,470 | I think u are missing the whole point of the movie, which is motherly love that allows mothers to become pure killing machines when motivated. I say the movie is extremely feminist as it shows how powerful a determined mother can be | She wasn't just motivated to be a protective mother. The future of the goddamned human race was at stake. The survival of the species was her responsibility. If she didn't raise and train John to become the leader of the resistance... well, no pressure or anything. |
5,471 | Reddit is funny. Reddit thinks the big issues are technical, and once those are solved, we're done! Driverless-anything isn't coming until the liability and risk-management issues are worked out, and that's not a technical challenge, it is a legal challenge. | There is enough money backing driverless vehicles that the legal side of things will be dealt with. The auto manufacturers and tech companies have more than enough money to get their way in Congress. |
5,472 | Even if he hasn't touched drugs in years, that shit takes a permanent toll on your body. Just speculation at this point as to how he died though. He was one of a kind. | Look at Ozzy. Keith Richards is the one that's a bloody mystery. |
5,473 | I have it sitting in my pile of unread books. Should i read it before the next 'It' movie comes out or wait until after the second movie so i don't spoil it? I enjoyed the first movie mainly because I had no idea what was going to happen next and I want to recapture that feeling. | I always believe you should wait to read the book until after you’ve seen the movie. You’re going to sacrifice a bit of enjoyment either way, right, as the second one won’t be quite as good as if you’d read/watched it first. But while books are rewarding for a myriad of reasons, movies are far more plot-dependent, so usually you’ll enjoy the movie infinitely more if you see it first vs second. On the contrary, most books add so much even when the movie has already been seen. |
5,474 | As long as people want to use their phones indoors millimeter wave radio will have a huge problem. With many more sites outside due to poor propagation through air and then indoor sites too, the cost of the buildout would be enormous. If we keep moving up the frequency bands eventually we will reach a level where a certain "G" buildout is so expensive that has to be considered the "last one" to be financially justifiable. | They'll never be able to put the entire cellular signal in EHF; even humidity will absorb it. They'll have to continue management signals in lower frequencies and offload data to EHF when required and able to connect. |
5,475 | I got to choose any book I wanted to read in 12th grade. I chose Wuthering heights. Between it's rather dreary story and all the other books I was reading at the time (I was doing a "Name That Book!" competition), I ended up speedreading the last 20 or so chapters in the hour before class so I could take my final (I got an 80 or so on that test). | The amount of fluff in that book drove me to the brink of insanity. Now I enjoy myself a book that is full of images but every other flipping paragraph describes something so unimportant, like the color of one tree in one corner of the house. It gives me the same feeling I get when I look at Thomas Kinkade's paintings. |
5,476 | I'm so happy Lake Mungo showed up here. It's such an underappreciated movie. | gets a surprising amount of love for an Australian tv film |
5,477 | that too! I do indeed have pretty harassing social anxiety. | I saw you for the first time when I was 15, knowing you had to deal with that and still came out and performed your heart out in front of thousands of people helped me immensely to get over my own social anxiety. I know you've done this and more for lots of fans like myself, and seeing you happy has shown that there's a light at the end of the tunnel for people who struggle with mental disorders. |
5,478 | How do you go about picking your crew? Stagehands, sound guy, merch people, guitar techs? Any advice for those wanting to get into that side of the business? | Friends, its a really small industry once you get in. Work at your local venue, don't be a jerk, work hard. Word spreads. -SC |
5,479 | 1. To Kill a Mockingbird. 2. Ender's Shadow. 3. Anthem. 4. Animal Farm. 5. Shadow of the Hegemon. 6. Shadow Puppets. 7. Franny & Zooey. 8. The Song of Achilles. 9. Shadow of the Giant (currently reading) | Franny and Zooey is so good. Have you read his other stuff? |
5,480 | Just today I bought a book called *A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian*. | I picked this up in a school library a few years back, also based just on the title (and a cool cover). Don't remember the content much, but if left a nice warm trace in my memory, so I guess it wasn't bad :'D |
5,481 | Neither does the US apparently. >The Trump administration on Tuesday said it would explore regulating Google — an effort that would challenge protections around free speech online — in response to the president’s allegations that the tech giant manipulates its search results to prominently display negative stories about him and other Republicans. Source: | But with Trump you just need to find a judge to find it unconstitutional |
5,482 | "No subject is terrible, if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure! " | Love that line. Corey Stoll's delivery of it in 'Midnight in Paris' was so perfect. |
5,483 | Cartels aren't usually stable. All it takes is one company to sell at a lower price. | Sure - but look at it this way: people have brand loyalty, too. Coke and Pepsi both fire 90% of their workforce in favor of bots. They *could* lower their prices, but what's their incentive to do so? It's not like many would switch for a $.10 difference in price (if that) per 2L. The same can be said for a lot of things, really. It'll only work in really tight markets where there's no brand loyalty. |
5,484 | Hmmm... I don't remember that bit. Do you remember what language they were supposed to be speaking at the time? | In the first chapter, she enters a bar and is referred to as a girl, as well. |
5,485 | Thanks for the link. Some interesting information. But it should be taken with a huge grain of salt as it contains inaccuracies. Particularly it claims Huxley had a "drug problem" which as far as I know was never the case. He used psychedelics pretty much exclusively and they are, generally speaking, not addictive or habit forming. Especially not in Huxley's case. It also claims his wife gave him "a lethal injection of lsd" on his death bed. While it's true she gave him an injection of lsd is was far from a lethal dose and definitely did not cause or contribute to his death in anyway. | Are you arguing that psychedelics are not drugs, or that possible excessive use, be they addictive or not, is not likely? |
5,486 | I want to believe that its on every page except 17 Again. | Don't check not this box to prevent updates from not being on the page you may or may not want them to be on |
5,487 | I just don't understand why they would even name it after the book if it had nothing to do with the book. | Things changed during production. The original script was relatively faithful, or at least pretty faithful considering the limitations of adapting to a very different medium. |
5,488 | My boss asked me to try Glass out so I could write an app for it. After about 5 minutes my eyes hurt and I started getting a migraine aura. Deleted that POS off my phone immediately. | Obviously you didn't read the article. Just the headline. |
5,489 | Saw him open for Kiss in the 90s. I must say he owned that crowd pretty well for an opening act. Of course he got political with his rant on Janet Reno but the performance was acceptable. Is he HOF material? Hell no. But you'll get your money's worth. | I saw him open up for Kiss in the late 80s at the Nassau Coliseum |
5,490 | What does being on your phone have to do with word choice? | I wasn't sitting on my computer, i was walking out to my car, i wasnt worrying about word choice |
5,491 | So you don't want to use Windows 9? Good thing they are using Windows 10 then right? | I don't care what the number is. The excuse they're using for skipping 9 is BS. |
5,492 | What do you do with a computer this powerful and fast? There must be specific activities set aside for the world's fastest computer. | You don't use it for casual browsing of Facebook and Twitter anyway. At least, not in China. |
5,493 | im rooting for affleck, for some reason i've grown to really like him as an actor. he does a fantastic job as batman. | Best I ever seen, the look alone is a perfect fit |
5,494 | Joan Jett nailed teen spirit. Wow seemed really fitting. Was a nice and dirty setting. Great to see Dave with hair flinging on drums and Krist doing his little hop. | I thought her voice on that song was horrible. |
5,495 | Dell bought out a company called EMC for 63 billion dollars, the largest tech buyout yet. Although I think they are still in the process of buying them. | And outside the tech world Anheuser Bush bought SABMiller for $104B. |
5,496 | Eragon by Chritopher Paolini and The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. | Loved Eragon, HATED how he ended the series. The Way of Kings was most excellent. |
5,497 | The whole problem here is that due to the apparently shared inventory, there is effectively no difference between the different sellers and the Amazon.com itself for those items that are Fulfilled by Amazon. That's the whole problem that the article is reporting about -- you order from a genuine supplier, yet receive knockoffs from third-party sellers, without even knowing, and without a way to look at it, other than examining what you've received. | Interesting, might have been a different situation in my case. I was ordering a cable that was listed as one item sold by numerous sellers. If you just ordered it seemed the vendors were random. Maybe you got lucky you got a good cable, other sellers, not so good and had knock offs. However, in my case I was able to figure out how to click on the sellers list and choose a reliable seller on the second order. |
5,498 | Cameron Diaz' character was completely superfluous, it seemed she was only included to have a Hollywood love story that didn't make any sense: why would they fall in love when all she's done is rob him? Also, Scorsese's use of music is just awful in my opinion. I first noticed it in Casino: every scene has a different song blasting over the top, sometimes even two *at the same time*. How he thinks this adds to the film is beyond me. If it wasn't for Daniel Day Lewis, for whom I have a huge amount of time, I would have switched that film off after ten minutes. Awful, overlong, bloated. Not a good film at all. | Taxi Driver and Goodfellas had excellent use of music in my opinion. |
5,499 | We silent few are resolute. Since the beginning of this meme's popularity, I have had [this] as my desktop wallpaper. | As long as I add. "It's snowing on Mt. Fuji" It is a haiku |
