Was it? It was fine – that thing you throw on because you’ve watched most of everything else that fills that kind of derivative political action conspiracy thriller. Not particularly intelligent, not particularly funny, a loose enough plot that you can be paying attention once every 5 minutes and get by. Some folks get shot. There’s a conspiracy ooooOOOOoooh.

Maybe that’s what defines good these days, when content is just a glut of mediocrity.

I was shocked it was up top the list in terms of ‘quality,’ but I watched it because, it was there… So, I guess that explains it?

The Recruit (similar vein) was a superior show in terms of quality. Recommend that if you need a quick fix.

I was gonna come in here like ‘Phone with a physical keyboard’ but then I realized I had greatly misread the room…

A strong second for Weawow. What a great weather app.

Where is the line?

We interact with hundreds if not thousands of chemicals in every ordinary act of life. This is not just unavoidable, it’s normal and natural, and has been going on for centuries if not millenia.

Are you proposing we stop cooking food (which results in chemical alterations of the underlying food). What about soap?

You have a point, but you’ve oversimplified it and taken it to an extreme where it’s no longer a sound or balanced idea.

Look…

Not a remake, but there’s a sequel on the way… I’m not super hopeful but maybe I’ll be surprised? Flashback did get a remaster and release on (at least) Switch, but i found the controls unintuitive and dissatisfying. It was a bummer.

Pretty sure Elon was first to the key, and the rest have followed suit.

In seriousness, though, the primary driver is the VC tap slowing down significantly and forcing long term business strategy to lean much harder into its existing opportunities vs. planning for periodic cash infusion from investors. A lot of these businesses never had to set themselves up for success in the absence of that capital, and it’s led to bad practices and product strategies.

Blackbeard’s Ghost. Watchable on Disney+ right now. Family friendly, great performances and some epic physical comedy from Peter Ustinov (voice of Prince John in Disney’s Robin Hood).

I will also accept “I am rubber, you are glue” as a possible answer.

Anything related to hamsters and/or the smell of elderberries.

Irrelevant?

Prompt was: a billionaire who has done anything good, not, a billionaire who has never done anything not good.

Current Agha Khan founded the Agha Khan Development Network which has done a fair amount of good in the developing world.

The apple was never whole… it was simply tightly grouped and a subgroup has been severed from another

Thanks! This article really clears up a lot of the details that help the simulation make sense.

Also, in this simulation are the customers arriving in equally spaced intervals or is random arrival time within the bounds assumed?

Can you elaborate on the math here? (I believe you, I just want to understand the simulation parameters better).

You may want to check out tildes.net – great community, totally text focused experience. I find that tildes complements lemmy well, and end up on both (in addition to a few other sites) to get a well rounded aggregation/discussion experience.

Papers, please. This was dystopian but it still felt like it captured the banality of some of communism’s negative side rather than just creating moustache twirling villains.

For sure… Sable and A Short Hike are great mentions and both have really distinct and beautiful styles. Haven’t tried Proteus so thanks for the recommendation there.

Limbo/Inside, but especially Limbo

Flower and Journey, kinda both equally

Most modern AAAs (thinking TLOU/2, Horizon etc.) will tend to have very well done ‘world’ lighting – usually veering towards realism, but when it comes to expression of a unique cinematic look they tend to be samey in my mind. Great, but samey.
