This feels like a pretty arbitrary distinction to me. Marvel movies are basically animated films, Pokémon is the most profitable franchise on the planet spanning every form of media, and Avatar makes more money per movie than a lot of countries’ gdp. I don’t really know what this achievement is

Damn. Even with the crazy high heat you’re basically parking the food right in the danger zone for bacteria growth. Mailbox lasagna: busted

That’s my point about civility. I think you can have the conversations, but almost every parent I know says that their children are their greatest achievement and that they are the best part of their life. You’re inviting people in who fundamentally disagree with that and a lot of people take it pretty personally when you call the most important thing in their life a moral failure. I just don’t imagine /c/parenting users come here to be lambasted and I doubt it’s good for growing the community as well

As a child free person myself I don’t think you want to invite that here. Not to say it’d be uncivil but some of our reasons for not having children will be inherently offensive to people here and I don’t think it’d be good for the general vibe. Just an example, I’m not certain I’m going to live the rest of my life free of major strife (the global rise of fascism, climate change disasters, globe trotting plagues, etc) and I think it’s morally irresponsible to bring a child into the world. Are those conversations that you want to have here or do you want to talk about the difficulties of raising kids, the surprising joys, and the unexpected milestones?

Well when I purchased my car he hadn’t done that, so it didn’t factor into my decision. To your second point. That’s literally what they just did, I mentioned that in my comment. A bunch of auto manufacturers are switching their primary port, that’s another way of fucking your charging network. However, to my benefit, they’ll probably be picking up some of Tesla’s slack on NACS charging stations. Finally, worst case scenario it’s not like Tesla disappears off the face of the earth. If Elon fucks it all to hell they’ll break the company into pieces, sell the various pieces to other auto manufacturers and life will move on

I agree with Iger that this probably will be the biggest MCU movie in a long time. However I’d argue that’s in spite of the MCU not because of it. They’re simultaneously cashing in on Deadpool hype and bringing the primary X-Man into the MCU. Obviously we don’t know what direction it’s going to to go in until the movie comes out but I have a hard time imagining that if it tries to merge into the “main” MCU world that it’d make sense tonally. If it fucks off into the weird “multiverse” stuff that Dr Strange, Loki, and Wanda seem to be doing I have to guess subsequent stuff will be more nothingburgers that people are apathetic about

I personally think people liked Deadpool being mostly it’s own thing. I think keeping him only tangentially involved is going to be the key to success but I doubt Disney’s ability to be restrained enough to do that

As someone who bought one recently (past yearish) there’s several things:

1. The charger network: Superchargers are so much more plentiful than the alternatives, and there’s still not a great central charging app. I have 3 different ones installed on my phone and honestly most of them suck besides Tesla’s. Non-tesla chargers are basically just at apartments, businesses, and malls. Very few of which actually help me

2. Autopilot: when used within reason it’s a great feature. I use it in clear weather conditions for highway driving which probably covers 75% of my total time driving. In the optimal environment it feels much safer than a human and the (admittedly biased) data seems to back that up. Also having it commute for you in stop and go traffic is a huge game changer

3. Tesla is an all electric car company. I don’t necessarily trust other big auto companies to continue supporting electric, and to keep supporting specific electric models. We’ve already seen major auto manufacturers drop a charging standard (which is probably better for Americans) but what’s to stop them from doing it again? What stops them from stopping support for a specific model and running out of parts for it? I don’t expect an all electric car company with 5 models to do that

4. Yes, Elon is a massive piece of shit. You know who else is? Every auto exec. The only difference is that they’re quiet and effective. Those old money fucks have done so much more harm to our planet because they know how to influence politics effectively. Something something, ethical consumption, something, something, capitalism

Overall I got a mid-price electric car with a decent set of features. I’m relatively happy with my purchase while understanding the clear limitations of it

You’re telling me the intersection of fascist doublethink, media illiteracy, and militant misogyny isn’t Lord of the Flies? Or that one of the biggest pieces of mainstream transgender media has little overlap with Handmaid’s Tale?

Despite never owning one (we were a Nintendo house) I’d argue it’s the PS2. An easy thing to forget is that the PS2 was one of the cheapest DVD players for a very long time and that got video games into a lot of houses that wouldn’t have had them. Add to that some of the best games of tent pole franchises GTA3, FFX and FFXII, Kingdom Hearts, God of War, MGS3, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk. That generation also cemented the twin stick controller design as the standard. I really think the PS2 defined the rubric for consoles to come

JK, it’s the Wii. I helped install one in a nursing home when it came out, what other video game console had that kind of appeal? /s (but only kinda)

“Lieutenant! We need a bigger budget, sir!”

“Is there a sidewinder equipped helicopter or predator drone for sale?”

“No sir, something even more serious. We just found the bullshit excuse we need to charge porn to the public and watch it at work”

“Oh my god”

In my opinion this pretty conclusively proves that you can’t make a mailbox lasagna. This is the graph I looked but for my previous statement:

And it shows that a car can hit 130-140 at temps around what you posted. Which is so much wildly higher than what you posted I do have to assume cars have some sort of greenhouse effect going that mailboxes don’t

Finally when you consider how much of the total volume of a mailbox a lasagna covers, I have to imagine that’ll slow heating down even more! Great work!

I don’t know if this could inadvertently dox you but I’d be curious to see an hourly outside temperature too to see how much hotter a mailbox gets than outside. Based off your first graph here I’m wondering if cars having glass windows makes a greenhouse effect that would make a car hotter than a mailbox, everything else equal?

I’m not. The US Military is sneakily a very large commercial partner in Hollywood. They frequently loan out equipment, bases, personnel, and more to movies that depict the armed forces as good guys. Top Gun, Battleship, Goldeneye, Iron Man 1/2, The Day After Tomorrow, and the Transformers movies are all sponsored by the US Military. So it makes sense they’d be at a movie/culture festival. Not to mention it’s a target rich environment for their core demo: men between the ages of 18 and 25

Fuck yeah, I love this. I’m so excited to see your results

I don’t know where this is but it doesn’t sound impossible to me. A quick Google shows that the FDA recommends 160 F for casseroles and that in direct sunlight a car can hit 160 if the ambient temp is >105 F. I know mailboxes aren’t cars, but over a longer period in a smaller metal box, it seems like the math could check out

It’ll look cool, but there will be parts that look weird and you won’t be sure why

Like most movies designed to be viewed with sound. I think everyone reading this question assumed the asker knew silent movies exist. I offered something with engaging visuals that doesn’t need dialog to explain the premise

I love that outsider naivate. Our police break constitutional rules all the time. They use their resources to stalk women, harass minorities, steal money, and they just love murdering dogs. Any attempt to reign them in is seen as being “soft on crime” and leads to targeted police harassment so nobody ever tries. They understand the nefarious ways to use the technology, that’s why they want it

Yes, all movies with sound typically are. I just mentioned it because I’ve been to bars that had it on TVs while other music was playing and it was really cool to look at

Interstella 5555. It’s basically one long music video so there’s no dialog and it’s anime so the visuals are really striking

Gale’s “bad” ending is actually the best ending in the game.

Who cares that he doesn’t get character growth, he disappointed a cat and an old man, HE’S A GOD! Seriously, nothing else matters. So what if Ao is going to make him earn his spot on the pantheon? He’s immortal, he has literally forever to do it. Sure professor Gale is fun and more chill, but he’s still mortal. In six months Gale does what Vlaakith has been attempting for centuries. I don’t know how you can be disappointed in someone for successfully becoming a god
