Shawdow194 , 2 days ago to History in New study provides new evidence that the Antikythera mechanism was used to track the Greek lunar year

Glad to get more confirmation, but i think we already knew it was an astrolabe device. Incredible incredible accuracy on the parts though

"...reveal new details about the calendar ring. They show that the ring is much more likely to have 354 holes, corresponding to the lunar calendar, than 365 holes, which would follow the Egyptian calendar."

"...extensive set of probabilistic results, again suggesting that the ring most likely contains 354 or 355 holes in a radius circleUS 77.1mm, with an uncertainty of about 1/3mm. It also reveals that the holes are precisely positioned with extraordinary accuracy, with an average radial variation of just 0.028mm between each hole."

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

Shawdow194 , 9 days ago to Movies in I watched Fury Road and Furiosa back to back and I noticed something interesting. (Spoilers inside, obviously.)

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

Shawdow194 , 9 days ago to Movies in I watched Fury Road and Furiosa back to back and I noticed something interesting. (Spoilers inside, obviously.)

"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
