There are many ways in which apples and oranges can be compared in an analogy, even though they are very different.

Are you sure you understand what an analogy is?

There were no repercussions for any of the early shootings, so they’re going to keep shooting people.

Oh I agree, and Ted Cruz is a piece of shit for a variety of reasons. I’m saying the events are analogous.

TLDR it is not legal and nobody is going to do anything about it.

That was my first thought, too. Like, they expect him to be up in a basket truck reconnecting transformers?

But then I read more about the guy, and it sounds like he’s a standard issue douchecanoe politician who doesn’t actually give a shit about Berlin. This is more about optics crystallizing the public perception, like Nero playing the fiddle, or Ted Cruz taking a vacation. The act itself isn’t the problem, it’s the message you’re sending to constituents about how little they matter.

Or maybe Just In Time. Time Out. Time Bandits, no that’s taken. Taken Out, no that was my spec script for the finale to the Taken franchise. Time and Again.

Of all the options, thats the only one that is factually inaccurate.

Imagine if the whole show was like that. Maybe not every song, but maybe after a 45 minute set, the band walks off, and if the crowd is still into it, they come back out. As a fan, you remember all the shows where everyone was disappointed that the band didn’t keep playing more encores, but I bet the bands remember every show where the crowd couldn’t care less.

Yeah, forcing billionaires out of the state is as good as taxing them, but only if they actually leave. Residence, businesses, and property. Let them hoard their gold in some shithole state like dragons in caves.

Don’t be Evil Larry.

Cuts both ways. They have included both, but they treat them the same. This allows them to handwave away any reasonable objections that they are not the same thing, because it doesn’t make a difference to them.

Noted, thanks for your feedback.

The correct answer is District 9.

However, I find I’m often disappointed by sequels to great movies. I feel like there are far more mediocre movies that failed to fully explore the depths of a good concept, where a sequel (perhaps in a different genre) would retroactivel make the first movie better.

For that, I also choose Johnny Mnemonic.

Also, In Time, Elysium, or Chappie.

I also think now would be a great time for a Galaxy Quest sequel. There’s a lot of fertile sci-fi tropes that could make for another hilarious movie. Like, after the end of the revival of the original show, there’s a Next Generation spin-off that overshadows the original, plus a bunch of expanded universe content. The Thermians and other aliens keep replicating the nonsense as real technology. What remains of the OG crew has to convince the new cast and writers/showrunners to stop being so lazy in their hand-wavy rushed bullshit, because there are very real consequences to poorly executed cash grabs full of plot holes and dangling threads. Maybe there’s a prequel series that creates a schism in the Thermian society, with the older generation following the Never Give Up, Never Surrender idealism, and the younger generation believing in a grittier, cynical imperialistic ideology.

So the arc speed increases as the radius decreases, both in cutting and reading.

I always assumed that the initial cutting of the record accounts for the variation in speed as the needle moves towards the center. If that’s the case, the information density would be relatively consisten, because the size of the bits of information would get smaller as the speed increases. Like a second of the song could be measured in radians, with the centimeters on the arc getting smaller. But I don’t actually know if that’s how it works.

The most unsettling part is that nobody seems particularly interested in standing in his way.

You don’t need to be particularly intelligent to see it. Case in point, I can see it.

If something is free, then you’re the product. Your data will be used for whatever the storage provider would like. For example, Google Photos was initially very generous with storage, because they were using your photos to train their recognition software. Gmail is reading your emails to build out your advertising profile. Your data is a commodity, and your privacy, if you protect it, is valuable.

The best way to do what you’re asking for, to ensure privacy and security, is to self-host. There’s an initial cost, and some maintenance fees over time, but you’ll also be investing in learning valuable skills in your free time.

Not for nothing, but those reality shows are often staged. If they “find” something interesting and potentially valueable every episode, you can bet it was probably planted. Most people store old furniture and clothing in storage units, and people probably wouldn’t even recognize their own stuff. A box of old coats? A generic cherry armoire from the 1980s? Old documents? Even bulky sporting goods like skis and golf clubs don’t have any actual value.

That’s not to say they never find something valuable, but they might obfuscate where exactly it came from to try to reduce lawsuits. If they find anything that could be easily identified by the original owner, especially if it is extremely valuable, they aren’t going to put that into the show at all.
