What truly annoys me about biopics is that Hollywood makes no attempt these days at these being true to the real-life characters they're portraying. They're 100% fiction using well-known public figures as the source of their verisimilitude. Movies like The Social Network and The Imitation Game, to name just these two, have barely any resemblance to their real-life counterparts. That's also true of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Given that, I don't even understand what's the point of them.
People with access to verifiable data overlook the appearance of safety to express a legitimate concern about a breed that's demonstrably more likely to kill? What dorks!
In US schools they teach it as the US just withdrawaling due to cost and domestic pressure
Also known as "losing." LOL
Most modern wars happen like this. Both sides commit until committing becomes untenable for one of the parties. That's pretty much the only path to victory for Ukraine, for instance.
People will go to movies if they’re good and hear from their friends said movie was good.
Yeah, I don't know. I hear Blue Beetle is good and I have zero interest in seeing it. I was also told by friends I trust that the Flash movie was fun and interesting and I can't be bothered to watch it.
I'm not saying I don't want to see any superhero movie anymore, but I don't know that just "good" is good enough anymore. Even so-called "good" superhero movies these days just seem to invariably devolve into forgettable CGI mush.
Agreed, which is why I spoke about the chaos and uncertainty of travel. If you're traveling as part of an organized trip, whether it's business or a travel package to a resort, you're basically isolated from this aspect of travel.
I don't think being well traveled is about distance or number of countries visited... For me, it's more about whether you've traveled independently and built some skills of adaptability and resilience to deal with new situations. That can happen with as little as one new foreign country.
For me, a well-traveled person is someone who can deal with all the stress, uncertainty, and chaos of travel. That can be as simple as ordering food in a language you don't speak, or deciphering an alphabet you're not familiar with to get on the right bus. Heck, it can happen in your own country, some times.
But once you've done something like that, the kind of travel skill you develop is pretty universal. Not to say no place in the world will ever throw you a curve ball, but once you accept not everything works like it does in your country and you learn to stay cool under pressure when nothing makes sense, you're well on your way to being able to thrive anywhere you go.
You can ask a refund for any Steam game after a few hours of play. Refund is full, no questions asked. I've done it multiple times with games that just didn't click for me.
Semiconductor manufacturing is a hell of a nut to crack. There was always a risk that China would eventually crack it, but I don't think anyone expected it to happen within a year of the ban.
While the technology in itself is not inherently bad, it has such a limited use case in real life, and has been associated with so many scam projects in the crypto sphere, that it's an immediate alarm bell about the seriousness of the project.
