Nah, the film grossed 240 million. Even if they spent 100 million on marketing then the movie still earned 140 in profit. If you like you can even throw another 40 million in there to account for any other costs, and that means it still pulled in 100 million in straight profit. By every commercial measure the movie was a financial success.

Seriously, i hate when people speak in an authoritative voice when they don’t know what they’re talking about. By every measure of commercial success that’s commonly considered, Tron Legacy did well. It made over 200 million in profit. It was expected to make 40-50 million on its opening weekend, and perfectly achieved that when it took in 43.6 million. It was the number one movie at the box office. It had a 170 million budget and earned 410 million at the box office, netting 240 million profit just on ticket sales.

I don’t even care much about the movie, i just hate when someone talks in an authoritative voice about something they’re completely wrong about

Yup, everyone (including me) strongly wants to deny the usefulness of ai, but the fact is that ai is already quite useful, and is only becoming more useful over time. There are a zillion moral problems with ai, but the usefulness of its output is obvious.

E.g. For years I’ve been considering paying someone to make a small app for me that does one specific thing, but recently i asked ai to do it and boom - it created an app that did exactly what i wanted. It even suggested some good features which i then said yes to and it made the app even better. And when i think of a new feature i just say “add this new feature”, and it does. Occasionally the outputted app doesn’t work, and i just say “now the audio doesn’t work, fix it” and it does. So far there was only one one feature i asked it to do that it failed at.

It says AT LEAST 15%

Your body makes it’s own cholesterol, and so the main driver of your cholesterol level is genetics. Quote from the AMA:

“Primarily, your cholesterol profile is genetic.”

What are you talking about?

I believe in bodily autonomy. People should be able to do whatever they want to their own body.

No dude, you’re WAAAAAAY overstating what that paper says.

Bring it on!!!

Autoimmune disease? GONE!

Acne? GONE!

Interesting but i have a number of serious doubts about this ever becoming a viable technology. Foremost of which is what happens if the helium container bursts? It would result in a massive building-size object crashing to the ground anywhere within a 6500 foot radius of the ground tether point.

That doesn’t even really tell the true story. The fact is that the original version was an unremarkable piece that wasn’t important or monetarily valuable, and it was in bad shape and rapidly deteriorating. If she did nothing then the piece would’ve been destroyed soon anyway.

Additionally, her restoration process was still unfinished when it got famous, and while it probably never would’ve looked great, it also might’ve looked better if she was able to complete the process

Give at least a day between strenuous exercises. I recently strained my arms and now i have to stop working out completely for 4-6 weeks

Anywhere that has an actual supply chain instead of website that’s just a front for individual resellers. Places like best buy, or if you could get shipped from microcenter.

Yeah this stuff is why i never buy tech from Amazon, you never know if you’re gonna get a counterfeit item

I can verify personally that that’s true. I put sugar in my gas tank and i was amazed how much better my car ran!

I just looked it up and I’m fairly certain it wouldn’t work. Every time the output waveform gets too low then the led would turn off, which is what creates the flicker. An led needs a constant current to stay on constantly.

This makes no sense to me. If you don’t like glare on your phone then just get a matte screen protector. If you specifically want e-ink then just get a small ebook device that’s a similar size to this case.

I just don’t see a use case

That’s what’s so stupid about the whole problem - the solution is known and easy but it costs a tiny bit more to make so lots of manufacturers don’t do it. It just needs to run off DC instead of AC. Simple.
