I'm all for having better transit, but I think that if you didn't have to design around a peak period where everyone had to get from the suburbs to the downtown core and back, you'd be able to move the bussing around so that it provided better routes and more even coverage, and you wouldn't necessarily have to spend more to get that result. I would advocate for that and keeping people home to see how it works in a given city before building. But I'm sure that even with reduced demand, there are cities that have less rail then they should.

The news of being able to use or disable all of the AI features was in the original announcement as well, but it was pretty clear that most of Lemmy just read the headline and leaned into it.

Dug it out of the ground myself!

Been closer to 40 years for me, and I remembered the story a few sentences in. I just never would have guessed the movie it was from. I guess it has been long enough for a rewatch.

I hate that this is the default thinking here. We just need to get people out of the office and we can stop wasting money on office buildings, roads and transit. We have plenty built already if we didn't insist on forcing everyone to go somewhere every day to do something they just as easily could have done at home. Not building out more than we need also helps with that whole boiling ourselves in our own atmosphere thing too.

For the justification for no footprints, you could have it in the script that the one dying fell into place. Fighting atop a crane, in a helicopter, or whatever. Seems appropriate for the kind of film that would end with a nice shot like that anyway. For the practical side, simply catapult the actor into position.

I think those names are pretty appropriate on the scale of Mild to Ass Reaper.

But do you mean literally everyone or literally everyone?

Cameras are pretty good at taking in light and giving a false representation of how you'd experience it if you were actually there. You see it at televised sporting events where it looks like twilight but they have to tell the viewers at home that it's full dark there. I'd imagine at 10pm, his web cam was just doing a much better job seeing than a human eye could.

It was very neat and definitely felt more like a pilot with how much it left unresolved. So much potential.

Can I do three? Reaper, Dark Matter (2015) and The Lost Room.
