The_annoying_one Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I live on a street with lots of lights, houses and trees. Stars, planets, etc are not too visible, probably. Also, I plan on planting my butt firmly on my couch soon, and not moving unless I have to use the restroom or go to bed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what time it happens. I have to take my dog out again around 10 or 10:30. Anything later than that is probably a no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl in the gif is writing the kanji for 'person' and then "eating it", it's something parents used to tell kids to do when they were emotional, it's supposed to represent conquering ones fears like dominance over your emotions. What stopped ya? The hoarder in me likes hard copies of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had grabbed it when I had the chance. (In fact...check your phone. I sent you a pic of the actual copy I was gonna get. Also, Goodbye Don Glees looked interesting as well.)

I'm not familiar with GB Don Glees but I've seen Song of the Sea. I watched it because of the art style...it's entirely hand drawn animation. It also has a beautiful song in it that I'd love to learn, I haven't committed time to learning it yet because it's in Gaelic, so it'd take a bit of time.

I should buy Howl's Moving Castle and Song of the Sea next time I'm at Walmart. (Also, I finally downloaded Crunchyroll onto my PS4 so I can watch anime on my TV. I've been wanting to watch Blade Runner: Black Lotus ever since it was announced that it was gonna get made. It's based on my favorite movie of all-time, Blade Runner, which is also based off of the Philip K. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".)

Song of the Sea is kind of a children's movie but there's a lot of real Irish folklore and deities in it, for one thing one of the main characters is a selkie I'm mostly familiar with the Harrison Ford movie. Which I know was based loosely off of the book. Maybe that'll be the anime I watch next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear it's the absolute best version of the movie, and again, the greatest film of all-time of any genre. (Most times, they show the original theatrical version on TV, and that version has narration in it. It's my least favorite iteration of the film.) And I don't care what anybody says. I loved the sequel as well. Edited March 2, 2023 by hornedlizardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the sequel as well. I'm three minutes into the first scene of the anime XD The city looks like a lot like the one from the movie. But I remember why I wasn't in a rush to watch it now...it's CGI. I mean it looks like it might be high budget but still too rushed. Not terrible though. Think I'll stick with it and watch the rest tomorrow. Thanks for mentioning it to me! It's time. Time for the bedz.

It's just all grey up there. Venus is amazing. It is essentially like a twin to earth with nearly the same mass and gravity and similar composition. It is believed that Venus is also on the the same atmospheric trajectory as earth, except for the fact that it is a few hundred million years ahead of earth, give or take. It has a sidereal rotational period of 243 days, longer than that of any other planet in the solar system. This means that technically its days are longer than its years! It has the lowest gravitational potential difference and delta-v needed for travel there, making it an ideal planet to explore. It has a super dense atmosphere that is some 92 times that of earth with an average temperature of 864 C, yet at the surface the temperature gradients are never greater than a few degrees. Even so, It's upper atmosphere is always in vigorous mixing. It is thought that Venus' current atmospheric state is a result of a long standing runaway greenhouse effect. It is my favorite of all the solar planets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
