Thank youuu!

Same, and same.

the second one mostly, but also a bit of the first.

What was meant by that gag? She found a prince? She married into royalty? She never married at all? What does that ending mean?

You just need to break the syntax apart and look at it from the LHS and the RHS seperately.

In layman’s terms: constantine felt boxed in by his social class which left him often at dagger-ends to the operations on his car. Unable to keep up with the constant payments, he defaulted on the loan.

See? Easy.

If nails were standardised then yeah all this would be overkill. But new nails and heck, wood types are coming out all the time, and you definitely can’t build a spice rack with the wrong tools.

Ding - crazy good prosthetics, right?

I love Captain D, the way he takes apart a scene in Blender is an art form in itself.

I guess the question I’m asking is, normally when editing comes into play you can sort of notice it through one way or another. There’s an uncannyness to it that makes it jarring, whereas in Austin Powers I never once clocked on that I was watching the same person. Did they use really sophisticated techniques for this? Was the campiness and comedic tone of the film itself a good distraction from any editing goofs?

If it was a more sombre film, would I notice it more I wonder?

Edit: @Aurenkin mentions the ping-pong scene in the 2019 Moon film, which has a more mature tone and the editing there was definitely flawless.

I love how Tobias immediately knows.

“The game? What game? Admire the sheer beauty of this bold and majestic man.”

For real. I just spent a decade in academia working dog hours with little pay keeping services running wondering how the true devs and sysadmins do it.

I recently switched to the corporate world and have peeked behind curtain of competency: headless chickens running around, patching failing products rather than spending time to properly fix them because immediate results are the only metric that counts.

Stability, scalability, reproducibility? Forget it, that’s someone else’s problem apparently.

Its also one you don’t have any agency over.

My HP is genuinely a creepy laptop. In the BIOS is a an “HP remote setting” as well as 3 other remote modes all at the bios level asking to join my wifi, again, at the BIOS level.

I work from my home laptop. I have a small offline private network between my work laptop and home laptop that I send ansible jobs to (since the work laptop is a powerful machine), but that work laptop does not touch the internet.

My Adventures with Superman vibes, though from a LL perspective

Genuinely. Is crack what the upper classes do, or is that coke?

Oh wow, yeah that must indeed be a pain to solder. Though I guess there’s some redundancy built-in, such that if one wire goes down the cable can still deliver something?

I like make my own jokes homegrown on the range using, cough, tax-subsidised water…

It was either that or a washing machine.
