I always learned to never walk between a bear mama and her cub, or a cow and her calf

I wonder why they are sending the balloons

I watched Fury Road and Furiosa back to back and I noticed something interesting. (Spoilers inside, obviously.)

It seems to me that George Miller agrees with the fan belief that the Mad Max films are a series of tales rather than a chronology or anything like that, because there are some huge discontinuities, and I am fairly sure that is intentional. You may dispute this, but you will have to come up with some convoluted explanations for...

"Shiny” and “chrome” are never said once in Furiosa.

I didn't notice that - I'll keep that in mind when I get it on disc!

There’s no suggestion that Gastown and The Bullet Farm had their own horde of drivers in Fury Road.

Isnt that half the plot of Fury Road - Immortan Joe's warboys AND the gastown/bullet farm convoy all hunting Max and Furiosa

All in all I really did like Furiosa since it didnt detract anything that made Fury Road great

I also like the video game interpretation of Max. That he isnt really a "real" person. Hes more a doomed lost soul bound to forever wander the wasteland

Makes sense with how legend/folklore he is. And it also alludes to why he isnt disfigured from the ravages of time and carries what seems to be memories and intellectual thoughts/words used before the apocalypse

Responsible protests don't hurt people's feelings

I'm sure all the equal rights protests MLK orchestrated were highly accepted by the moderates and racists across the country and didnt hurt their feelings at all

Oh wait, protest arent about your feelings but instead are about making critical changes in infrastructure and society

Hatred and violence are not things protests are meant to inspire. But changing how you feel about an issue is exactly what they are meant to do

I see tonnes of Chinese sellers refurbing Gameboys

Generally the PCBs are OEM from Japan. Everything else though....

While Western countries have frozen $300 billion in Russian assets, they can only access the income generated by these funds, approximately $3.2 billion, annually.

By setting up a fund with loans to be repaid using this income, countries can offer immediate support to Ukraine beyond this amount.

I wonder why they cant liquidate a percentage of any of the currently held assets? I guess most are intangible? Or some other international law preventing direct asset control

I guess gray is just black and white mixed, and black does not do very well

Yellow also reflects a tonne of UV and IR light. Probably helps make it so much more visible to everything than other colors

As for solar panels I think the word you're looking for is "albedo"

Off the top of my head I think it's close to earth's natural albedo anyway. Or even if it is a lower number and more energy/heat is absorbed it's so negligible. Only the tiniest fraction of the earth's surface would be/are covered in panels

In January 2018, Lochridge sent Rush a quality-control inspection report detailing 27 issues with the vehicle, from questionable O-ring seals on the domes and missing bolts to flammable materials and more concerns about its carbon-fiber hull. Rush fired him the next day. (Although Lochridge later made a whistleblower report to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration about Titan, Rush sued him for breach of contract. The settlement of that lawsuit resulted in Lochridge dropping his complaint, paying OceanGate nearly $10,000, and signing an NDA. Lochridge did not respond to WIRED.)

Ugh

Good! Shitty names based in racist origins anyway

In a contentious board meeting, opponents of the move — including some current students — noted that the 1959 decision to name the schools after Confederate generals came at a time when Virginia's leaders were fighting to keep the state's schools racially segregated.
