I’m not discounting the idea that you could have a picture like that outside the porthole. I am discounting the idea that you could take a picture like that from inside a ship.

EDIT: I can do nothing but puke on a ship so I am hoping there are some salty dogs to back me up on my critical eye.

Edit Number The Two: i am not sure why I am arguing about this. This is a community devoted to AI art. I guess I have just been fighting a losing battle against AI at work and I got sucked up into my own asshole.

The image outside the porthole is not possible. It’s wrong.

Aw man I’m gonna have to spin up a VM to actually open that PDF link.

It’s interesting from an artistic perspective specifically because the perspective is so clearly wrong.

Imma go back to Joomla.

Agreed on all points. I think this movie is awful but with some standout character moments.

I can be your long lost Pal.

You got me. I actually said “What the fuck” out loud.

Really…

When I had cancer, my entire workplace came together and did several things for me:

1. Bought me a Dyson vacuum.
2. Purchased 3 months worth of frozen dinners from a local place that made and delivered fully prepared frozen meals that you can just throw in the oven.
3. Sometimes people would take my kids to and from school for me when I wasn’t up to it, for about a month.

My sister and brother in law came over and cleaned my house for me, my Dad would take my kids over the weekend all the time.

Thankfully, I’m still here 20 years later, all my kids are grown and are wonderful people.

I am so thankful for all the help everyone gave me.

All Ginger No Plan - that’s an amazing life motto. ;)

No question at all, definitely Tim Robbins, although he is older than me, we are fan casting.

I still can’t believe it got snubbed at the Oscars. The screenplay alone was astounding.

If you want to skip the preamble, you can go to about 34 minutes in.

Arrrrr you ready kids?

The group entered the next room, where they were instructed via monitor about the shuttle ride when there was “trouble” with the monitors… then the lights went out. Dozens of small round flashes flickered through the darkness to simulate the “transporter effect”, accompanied by the transporter sound effect and a rush of cold air. When the lights returned, the walls and floor had changed… you appeared to be on the transporter pad aboard the USS Enterprise-D. The layout was similar to the usual transporter room as seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the group was facing a Starfleet uniformed transporter technician at their station.

Basically, out of the blue, you are “transported”, which if you weren’t expecting it, was absolutely convincing. It seriously felt like you were in one place then “poof” you were in another place.

Yes. In 2008

That was a fucking experience for sure. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s so sad no one will be able to experience getting beamed up like that again.

Correct. I usually do it with cast iron.

They’re actually super good if you grill them with a steak, just slice em up and cook them in the steak fat and butter when you baste.
