The best I can do is that a kilometer (a distance I can run in 5 minutes) is one million millimeters (a length I can see). But what's a billion millimeters? Can I really hold 600 miles and a millimeter in my mind at the same time? It's like trying to focus a camera on both the horizon and a flower
Yeah, you know the old saw about how we can only remember seven things at a time? It seems like we have that kind of limitation with perspective and scale, like we can picture something 100x bigger than another, but we're vague about 1000x and 1,000,000x is barely conceivable

Looking over Ford's imdb list, remembering they cast him in the remake of Sabrina, and now wondering if there are any Humphrey Bogart films that aren't someone's favorite dad movie
Are there any Harrison Ford movies that wouldn't fit this prompt?

Let me add: all those clever cynical people who say "the business of a newspaper is to sell advertising" also don't understand why newspapers exist, because that's fundamentally how these billionaire wreckers are treating their media companies and it shows
I don't know what it is about idiots who buy newspapers without understanding why they exist or what their business is, but I think gutting books coverage is some kind of canary in the coalmine. These jackasses don't read books, so they assume no one else does either.

I swear this happened to me at a small hotel in Great Falls. The main office had a handwritten sign on the window saying "to check in, go to room 101" and some dude in 101 took my money and handed me a room key. I thanked him, locked my door and didn't check the premises for bodies

You know how people nostalgically pine for the "old days" of twitter or whatnot? THIS is what they're talking about. Guy asks a specific question to a general audience, people who know what they're talking about chime in with detailed recommendations.
The SM7B is a notoriously low gain dynamic mic, many less expensive interfaces don’t have enough preamp gain to get it to a comfortable level. The phantom power won’t help bc that’s not for dynamic mics. If the takes are coming in clean and without noise you can change the gain level (cont)

The bitter irony of this, of course, is that Flash was TERRIBLE as a web development product. For users, it meant unskippable intros; for product owners, it meant inaccessible content; for developers, it meant inflexible dependencies. Animation was the BEST use of Flash.
They said it was a tool for web developers and if animators happened to use it, that was their business and they weren’t going to get any encouragement or support from the company. This is because “animators” are a niche community nested inside another niche community of “artists”

I am now obliged to share the clip about how Sigourney Weaver defied everyone, and made that basket perfectly on the first take, with no CGI, and no camera tricks.
The thing that nearly ruined the take was Ron Pearlman’s genuine reaction to the unbelievable shot.

This is a really good overview, and as Ryan points out on the first paragraph, he KNOWS it sounds like it’s veering off into conspiracy theory, but this is what it is
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.
