Maybe it's not that corrosion is worming around it, but instead there's an outer coating material that's expanded and contracted numerous times over the years, and those cracks are where it eventually split from the contractions
There's a scene in the Nick Cage Wickerman film where he has a PTSD flashback/hallucination of a little girl who was hit by a semi truck. On the surface, it sounds tragic, but the problem is that it's done as a "jump scare" while he's on a boat. The visual juxtaposition of seeing someone get hit by a semi truck on a boat was one of the funniest goddamn things in that movie
Science-Fantasy in games and movies where the goal is to just have fun. It's like wanting realistic physics in an 80s action movie; as long as it's reasonable, the suspension of disbelief is fine.
But for media that wants to tell a message, I really love elements that are very technically grounded. Obviously some stuff needs to be inaccurate in order to establish the setting and plot, but having realistic limitations and consequences adds a TON of weight to the story that I love.
The only real asterisk I have is that I wanted to love the movie The Andromeda Strain for the meticulous attention to detail, but in that case it felt boring as hell. It just needed another director to come in and tighten things up to be more energetic and engaging. But as it stands, it falls in-between the cracks for me, which is frustrating.
To be fair, a shitload of devs are under horrific crunch hours to meet un-meetable deadlines set by higher-ups. Not saying that that's what happened here, but QA testing is one of those things that gets the axe early in development far too often
I know fuck-all about aerodynamics and that kind of design stuff, but if you have the resources for it, would you be able to 3D print and wire a small-scale version of this as an RC flier? You could then test how it handles first-hand, and perhaps put it in a small wind tunnel (iirc Mythbusters had an episode where they made a cheap DIY one with a shop fan and plastic straws)
Aren't they notorious for using a fuckload of contractors though? I know that them relying on a revolving door of limited-time contractors to avoid hiring full-time employees caused a ton of issues with Infinite. This statement just strikes me as "don't worry, it's just the plebs who were laid-off! The C-suite all still have their jobs 🙂"
If he was a real fan of Dolly then he should go visit her

O7 to the legends. Here's hoping the pendulum swings the other way just as hard against the hateful, evil bastards

Nobody else going to point out that the cookie in the thumbnail looks way too much like a condom?
You can also do it to help you sleep. So go fuck yourself, and good night!
I can swallow air and belch on command. Maybe I should list it as one of my skills on my resume
I'm an American, and I approve this message 👍

Actively sabotage it. Gotcha
That would be preferable. Most shit can still be useful in some way
DMs running Cyberpunk games: "Fuck yea!"

The offramp in question is the broken bridge in Speed

Sounds like Lisa is gonna get diarrhea with that attitude
Losses are easy to anticipate when they're being used as a bribe. That's kind of how the whole monetary transaction thing works
