I think it's brilliant in a larger artistic aesthetic sense, as an experience, but I fully agree that it should have been an hour longer to really tell the story to completion. I've always treated 2001 more as an audio-visual experience, though, so I don't really mind. The Arthur C. Clarke book exists for a more plot-based experience. But your criticism is totally valid.
Interstellar is just straightforwardly a worse version of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now I kinda want to know of there's a older, Russian version of that, though.
there is literally no way to use logic to infer existence of god.
I just gave an example of someone doing precisely that. Read Descartes first three meditations. I won't say I agree with Descartes; I think his logic is flawed. But he does technically use logic to infer the existence of God. That's why I used Descartes as an example.
Literally René Descartes, arguably one of the most important mathematicians and philosophers in history, spends most of his meditations trying to prove the existence of God. Religious people can be very logical and believe in their religion for logical reasons, even if you and I disagree with those reasons.
Out of curiosity, why do you use Ghostery rather than uBlock Origin? It was quite controversial back in the day, but seems to be open source and stuff now. I still don't see any advantage over uBO, though, so I wonder what would move you to use it instead.
You don't even need higher end ear buds for replaceable cables anymore. Moondrop CHU 2 are 20-25 € and come with a replaceable cable. The DSP version comes with a nice usb-c cable.
Just make sure to get them from an official retailer; Chinese stuff like this often sells returns on Amazon, non-specialized retailers, etc. Hifi retailers like linsoul, Hifigo, Shenzhen audio, are the only ones where you'll reliably get a working product. Otherwise the quality is quite good.
My Sennheiser HD600 have been basically indestructible for almost 10 years now. Other headphones have had minor issues, but the wired Sennheiser stuff seems to be incredibly well built. Highly recommend.
Terraria. Seriously. Do a blind play through without a wiki. Super duper fun. It can be short or hundreds of hours, depending on your style. Great for groups as well, as it requires a surprising amount of team work.
I think Terraria has a really good approach to this.
Your first playthrough is on "normal" mode. Boss fights aren't about skill, you don't have to be on your toes constantly, etc. — except, that doesn't matter. Because your first playthrough is hopefully blind and without the wiki, meaning you'll have really bad, inefficient gear, and most of the challenge will come from finding and understanding good gear and how the world works before you can even find and beat bosses. Normal mode on your first playthrough has its own kind of challenge.
After that you will know how to progress and want more challenge and excitement for your second playthrough. Enter "expert" mode. New loot, new super powerful cool accessories, everything is way harder, even basic mobs hit twice as hard. Now everything is about staying on your toes, showing your skills in boss fights, meticulously crafting plans — but you're rewarded for it by a new experience and what feels like a new, more exciting Terraria. If you get tired of expert mode (I'm gonna say 200–300 hours of playtime later), there's the ridiculous "hard" mode. And "hardcore." Endless possibilities.
But everyone is given a chance with normal mode, which is really extremely easy. Everyone gets a chance to get to know the game. But you are rewarded with the full game, in a sense, for playing the proper difficulty.
The German one was kinda useless. That kind of reporting is only really valuable to the mainstream if it's coupled with some kind of analysis, which was sorely lacking here. Don't just tell me what happened; — tell me what people/experts think about it.

Holy shit, not only do I love Lem but also The Magellanic Cloud specifically, I can't wait to watch this. Thanks for the recommendation!!
This comment should have a trigger warning lol
I 100% agree, because the film spends ridiculously little time with actual characterization. A lot of time with really long "cinematic" shots, though.
I wouldn't so much say "pays tribute" to as arrogantly rips off.... I may have given myself away as a 2001 fan and Nolan very-much-not-fan, though.

Shoot, this one was pretty difficult. Couldn't get better than this:

There's also the more modern and powerful zstd. Better than 7zip/xz and far more flexible.
I thought Swift is currently Block-Chain based. Do you mean this Swift?
In force is quite common in standard English, as is in effect, though the two can have different meaning.
See:
Mushoku tensei is deeply fucked up... Both the beginning and end. I still can't believe that show didn't get banned or something.
Hunter X Hunter is totally different though, I agree. Hisoka is meant to be predatory and kinda terrifying.

Every politian should read this comment. I can't believe the people who control our society are so tech-illiterate... see KOSA in the US :(
