Nicolas Cage’s The Wicker Man is the only John Wick spinoff worth your time.
Are you sure you didn’t mixed up the movie?
Every time I see that, or similar, explanation on a piece of media it reminds me of Stargate SG-1 https://youtu.be/zBjbNqBjSMI
Context for the video, the guy is a technologically advanced alien trying to contact another alien species that’s light years away from earth. They’re also refusing to share technology with earth humans because they deem earthlings are too primitive. In that same episode they talk about quantum physics and their answer is “ahh, yes, I remember that, I studied it in school, together with other misconceptions”.
I love Stargate, in part because they take the time to explain things, sure, they do a bunch of stupid stuff too, but a lot of the time they’re fairly accurate, and when something needs to go against physics they even acknowledge that that’s not how it’s supposed to work.
I like Earl Grey, but also drink a lot of Mate (although not sure if people consider this a tea)
Something almost, but not quite entirely unlike tea
Sure, but so far he’s just the democratically elected president, if after his term is up he doesn’t want to leave then absolutely kick him by force. Until then any attack is, by definition, anti-democratic.
Not quoting Hitlerz but the “prime minister” did say about rent for a one bedroom apartment being over €2k that “people need to remember that one man’s rent is another man salary”.
The president is nice though, although he’s just a decorative position, he seems like a very sensible Hobbit.
First of all, I’m not from the USA so take this with a grain of salt, but are you suggesting the election was rigged or fraudulent? Because if not you’re the one trying to impose an authoritative regime. Like it or not he was elected democratically, and this time you can’t even use the excuse that your voting system is weird because he also got the majority of votes. So the majority of people in your country think that he’s the correct person for the job, or in any case don’t oppose him.
So what you’re talking about is for a minority to raise arms against the democratically elected government. You are the one who’s being anti-democratic. Even if you were to win the revolution you would need to put a tyrant in power because calling a new election would result in the same outcome.
Like it or not the majority of the people in your country are stupid enough to either want that or not caring. That’s one of the dangers of democracy, but starting a revolution to remove a democratically elected president in the name of democracy is just as dumb.
Bluetooth uses less power, because usually the polling rate is lower. This is from my mouse’s manual:
Bluetooth mode has lower report rate compared to LIGHTSPEED. In Bluetooth mode, G604 has longer battery life as well.
So you’re saying that if they had comed up with more votes that had gotten “lost” and the result of the election was changed post-facto by those newly found votes that would not be fraud?
If creating fake votes to change the result is fraud, surely asking someone to do it is attempted fraud.
MF got elected after saying his son is too educated to date a black woman, in a country with a very large black population. How does anything else he did surprised you? The day he got elected I quit my job and moved to another country.
That would mean Brazil is not a developing nation, but USA is.
I think that the beauty of it is that it is very time-period agnostic
I strongly disagree, Matrix was very much a product of its time, if it had released a decade before or a decade after it would not have had the same impact.
In the 80s as a general rule people didn’t know of the internet nor were they very computer savvy.
In the late 00s cellphones started to be ubiquitous and people were using broadband almost exclusively.
So there was only a small period of time when people were familiar with the idea of telephone lines carrying data, which is a core concept of the movie (exiting the Matrix through your cellphone or laptop is a lot less cool and less prone to plot hooks).
Not to mention that the 90s were extremely gothic and grimdark about the future. I don’t think a movie that the base premise is in the future humans are enslaved to machines and hooked to a large simulation to keep them from realizing they’re slaves would work in any time period besides the 90s.
Forever, unless they start calling it Xcom (which would then be confused with the game) X itself could also mean Xorg (https://x.org) which is a lot older. Not to mention that it looks like someone forgot to remove a placeholder “in the site X, many people talk about…”
Everything HAS to be public, otherwise it couldn’t be openly federated. What did he do that people complained?
It scared the shit out of me, but was one of the best decisions I took, on my next job I learned to impose limits from the start.
I managed to find something very soon, but if I were in a similar position nowadays I would first find something new.
I use https://silverbullet.md and love it, it’s a bit more than a note taking app, but it’s definitely worth it.
In hindsight that should have been enough, but at the time I didn’t want to discard a possibly good candidate because of that (reasoning that maybe he had some reason for it). Being subject to SQL injections also is not the end of the world, everyone makes mistakes. Not realizing it even after me pointing the line could also be overlooked as “we need to train this person”. But insisting that there isn’t even after the interviewer tells you there is, means you don’t want to learn, and at that point I can’t help you.
As an interviewee it’s nothing much, but when they asked me to sort a list, I find that question to be completely pointless, I will never implement a sort IRL, and most people who get it right are because they have it memorized.
As an interviewer, a person who sent their take home as a .doc file inside a zipped folder. I didn’t understood why they sent it that way, but got the code to compile, and found very serious issues. When confronting the person they claim there were no issues, which happens so I pointed out at a specific line, and still nothing, I asked them if they knew what an SQL injection was and his answer was “yes, and you’re wrong, there’s no SQL injection happening there”, so I sent him a link for him to click that would call that endpoint on his local instance, and dropped the entire database for the take-home assignment. No need to tell you he wasn’t hired.
That read exactly as a footnote on a Terry Pratchett book, if you have never read Discworld you should, it has the same sense of humor that you do. For example another popular saying being bastardized:
