Elon Musk and Disney boss quit Trump’s business panel over Paris pullout…

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/02/elon-musk-and-disney-boss-quit-trumps-business-panel-over-paris-pullout

 

thought this was interesting - have seen a couple of Mayors of US cities say similar things…

https://www.wired.com/2017/05/cities-cant-sign-treaties-can-still-fight-climate-change

Yeah, I read an article somewhere that said the industry is still likely going forward in support of renewable energy/going green because it’s expensive to change from one system to another; there is expectation that future policy will force the regulations anyway; and so to do it now allows for a gradual switch over instead of the enormous expense of meeting a sudden and abrupt deadline.

Absolutely, and this may be of further interest…

‘If Trump actually wanted to renegotiate the Paris agreement, he just shot himself in the foot’:-

when he claimed he could shoot someone and not lose support, i don’t think any of us thought he meant he could shoot himself.

Thanks, it was fun to see a young David Cross and Bob Odenkirk.

But what’s also not clear is if we need to convince Trump supporters at all. It would be much easier to convince the 50% that didn’t vote at all than the 24% who answered the call of the assclown.

You know, i think this is probably the biggest takeaway. We all seem to agree that all the backlash against trump has fallen on closed minds. It is kinda pointless to point out how crappy trump is, i mean, he was crappy before the election and was elected for it.

This is also something that the Hilary campaign also didn’t seem to get (insert picture of dead horse), she kept trying to convince voters that trump was unfit, so of course vote for her. didn’t work.

As Kang said: “My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball; but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!”

we must move forward upward.

Do you want to know how Tuesday feels about you?

These latest ones look very well done.

CONS

• Not enough emphasis placed on Strange being an uncaring asshole prior to his accident.

I disagree with that part.

Yeah, if anything him being an asshole is overdone, both before and after his accident.

Dr Strange - 6/10 - “too much asshole”

JEDIT: damn, you posted a third reply as i wrote this up. but it wasn’t a third reply to the same post, so i guess i am still waiting.

You shall go wanting.

What do these have to do with climate change, the event that will destroy all known life in the universe?

But look on the bright side, the unknown life will be doing just fine.

That’s brilliant

Also, I did once listen to an NPR segment about vinyl, and how encoding on vinyl is inherently superior because digital reproduction of an analog wavelength by its very nature removes information.

That argument is BS, by the way.

https://wiki.xiph.org/Videos/Digital_Show_and_Tell

Which argument? That analog-to-analog is better; or that FLAC would make for a reasonable lossless copy?

The former.

I didn’t claim to be an expert. I just said I heard a segment on the subject, and they claimed that was why vinyl is actually better than CD. That article you linked is a bit tl;dr for me in refuting it.

you probably misunderstood the segment because it was a digital broadcast.

The Former

Hi guys, does anyone have a list of suggested names for each chapter break in the de’s of sw,esb and jedi? I have looked around but cant find anything. I can happily insert my own chosen names into AVCHD i just wondered if anyone had made some up. Thanks.

alexp120 has done this for most releases i think. Either find a way to summon him, or else try a google site search “site:originaltrilogy.com alexp120 chapter break”

I want Star Wars to go on forever. I want to see kids light up as the Millennium Falcon goes into hyperspace. That means characters are going to need recasting. Some will be good, and some will be bad, but the show must go on. Han Solo is right up there with Robin Hood and King Arthur as far as I’m concerned. The tales will keep on being told.

I get what you are saying but just tell someone else’s story.

I’m not 100% opposed to this film, I will see it and enjoy it I’m sure.

that is pretty much my opinion on this. I hope that the rest of the star wars stories they come up with all feature new characters…

keep digging your hipster hole

nevermind, i don’t want to say that.

way too bright

That’s just the way it looked in 1977. All scenes were corrected in the same way, so either these scenes are bright, or everything else is dark.

i think the brightness is probably correct. it makes sense if trying to create the feel of an over-bright planet / desert. i mean, it has two freaking suns.

zing. i think that one landed.
