Well, first of all, through linear algebra all things are solvable approximal. So jot that down

Fucking Tandy. We’ll never know if he truly got his Shawshank Redemption

Not really, the Angara, Kett, and Remnant were already there. You’re just showing up in the middle of their dispute. The comment was implying your own people developed FTL and fucked everything up, not that you landed in a shit show

Have you played a GTA game on PC? They’re all so poorly optimized to the point some are unusable. Not to mention bizarre choices. GTA IV used games for windows live which became its own shit show when it went EoL. GTA V/Online took forever to get to PC and didn’t even have all the features when it did release. Also minor gripe but I think it shows how little they thought about PC: the default controls for flying a helicopter (required in several missions) use a numpad. Numpads aren’t even popular on keyboards anymore, let alone the fact that nobody will ever intuitively guess those controls. RStar doesn’t care about PC at all, and even further, Linux/steam deck support is a pipe dream

The Doughboys have been joking about this on their podcast recently. One of them remarked that in Tenet you would suck poop back up your butthole. So they joke that shitting is pulling a “reverse Tenet”

I kinda agree. Sure there’s observable/measurable phenomena out there, but past a certain point it’s like a toddler asking why? You just have to say "because that’s the way it is:

Why did that apple hit me in the head? Because of gravity

Why does gravity make things fall? Objects of larger mass attract objects of smaller mass

Why do they do that? Well the more massive something is the more it warps space around it

Why do massive objects warp space around them? Well there’s some theories that certain sub-atomic particles interact in a way that causes these forces

Why do those particles do that? Well that’s just what they do

(yes, I know these are overly simplified)

Eventually you reach our furthest level of understanding and we just have to say “that’s just what we have observed happening, we don’t have a root cause or explanation yet.” That bottom level is basically magic in our universe until we learn more about it

That… would also be part of the adaptive suite. So instead of your phone turning the screen off after being “inactive” it would stay on

No, that story was written in '67 and all major publications of it were well before Tudyk was famous
