Further consider than the movie itself is literally pulpy and fictional and the genius of Tarantino becomes apparent. It IS Pulp Fiction, just like it says there on the screen!

You just earned yourself a seat on the board.

The company said in its blog post that the problem began in late February, but it has since been able to compensate for the lost data to some extent by modifying its algorithm.

Because that's what people are worried about: THE LOST DATA.

The Donut guys on Youtube tried to take one for a standard off-road adventure and had to abort early due to running out of battery. They also had to recharge twice before they made it to the trail.

eeee

Yes, those are all major contributors, though some of them overlap.

That sounds cool. Are you using any particular tools to organize your ideas/systems? That was one of the reasons I was curious--turning ideas into something real seems daunting.

Is that the 4-minute task you'd been procrastinating?

Can you give us the gist or is it under wraps?

Ha, a great comparison. Like Brock resorbed most of his twin, but Doug Ford is what was left over.

Hopefully that leg break was a severe one.

But rock beats scissors and scissors are metal.

Several of the greatest movies ever made 100% wouldn't exist without his work. Schindler's List, The Pianist, Saving Private Ryan, and The Thin Red Line are just a few of the films he made possible. Say what you will about his various indiscretions, but the man loved the arts.

Nice explanation. I could still get behind that. I know there are woo-ey versions of it, but I find the fundamental idea of "visualization" to be pretty solid, regardless of whether the mechanism is internal, external, or purely imagined.

Funny, but just to get it out of the way:

Akshually! LSD doesn't do that!

I think there's a semi-reasonable way to engage with the idea. If you have some specific goal and you continually think about it/focus on it, of COURSE that will make it more likely/make you better at it. At that level, it's sort of just tricking yourself into actually getting shit done. Like faking it until you make it--act confident and soon you're actually confident, etc.

But I understand that most people take it further than that. I just think it's harmless at its most basic, even as I also think it's Oprahesque bullshit.

In fact, the odds are you will never hear the song you'd like best.

This is a/the part of the Bible (Genesis 2) people reference to support that belief:

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Ostensibly Tigris
