Carl Sagan

I'd expect the club to be fined for showing the penalty on the big screens. Everyone knows that this isn't allowed, so I presume it was a calculated call to whip the fans up and put pressure on the referee. Sadly there wasn't enough time for it to make a difference. Here's Lee Johnson commenting on it:

As if there was any time for that to happen!
Personally feel the rule is stupid - every little move of the team, manager, fans is there for everyone to see after the game, including the performance of the referees. Yet the leagues protect the referees to ridiculous lengths, don't discuss or share with the public what they do to put right inadequate performances.
Maybe if the EFL and PL were a bit more open we would be a bit more understanding of what a difficult job it is to do. Ort maybe they just better bring in the video technology asap and get with the real world.

If we win, you'll have a job not hearing about it, even in Zaragoza! But I always like trying to do a "Likely Lads" if I can't follow the game.

Came here because of @Carl Sagan's tag, stayed for film reviews.
Hell or High Water - 7.5/10. Modern Western with Jeff Bridges, who I'm a big fan of.
The Big Sick - 8/10. Not a huge rom-com fan but watched it with the family at Christmas. This mixes up the tired usual formula and is an interesting exploration of interracial issues.
Logan Lucky - 6/10. Decent enough Ocean's Eleven knock-off.
Inherent Vice - 9/10. Weird stoner film but it could be a cult classic. Great acting from Joaquin Phoenix/Josh Brolin.

I have and that's true. Well remembered.
In this one, her husband is a heart surgeon with a fetish for comotose patients, so she has to lie there pretending she's under general anaesthetic while he does what he wants, but perhaps surprisingly it didn't redeem the movie.
 

have you never seen Birthday Girl? She's awesome as a Russian Mail Order bride.

If we don't it is inevitable we will become extinct. I think for the sake of the benefit of the future humans who could spread through the universe, there is a moral imperative to colonize other worlds. 

After a lifetime of frustration, I do love that we seem to be living in the future (at last). I carry around instant access to the entirety of human knowledge in my pocket, cars can drive themselves, rockets can land, I hold a screen over text in another language and it automatically translates (and I could buy headphones that would automatically translate spoken language into English for me). We're seriously talking about colonies on the Moon and Mars, and we'll soon have flying cars - finally.

Boro opt out of iFollow along with villa, us, Leeds, Fulham and Sunderland I believe, hence why they tried to get rams tv as they dont have an equivalent.

Mine kept saying error 0-3 but not sure what that's all about 

Yes, iFollow is the League’s version. I suppose they found it strange that the DCFC tv had DCFC biased commentary and pundits. Perhaps we could get Kenny Burns in to even it out a bit?

I didn't know if that was an option. Some said they had given up on somehing called iFollow (is that the league one?) from bad previous experiences so had signed up to Rams TV for today's game. But were hating the Rams-based commentary!

Sorry for anyone that had issues today.
I'm told there was a problem with Microsoft that was resolved pretty quickly and won't happen again.

Having read some of the link, I think your earlier idea of a separate thread is necessary, if you want people to have a Scooby what it means.
By people, I mean me! 
Will these trillions of human lives be in the same form as we exist today, or will we develop into an entirely different life form as we harness increased  computing power, for instance?

To Paul I'd say SpaceX is entirely different from Mars One. They'll have the first humans on Mars by around 2030.
One thing that randomly cheers me up is that I'm mates with a brilliant Swedish philosopher called Nick Bostrom, and here's his take on the subject in a paper on "Astronomical Waste: The Opportunity Cost of Delayed Technological Development": https://nickbostrom.com/astronomical/waste.html
The people in Nick's team who I sometimes advise, also founded the Effective Altruism movement, but I could also murder a bacon cob and nice coffee for a fiver right now!

I with people would stop fantasizing about living on other planets. We need to look after the one we have.

EA reduced the amount of points you need to unlock the heroes, what they didn't publicize was the fact they also reduced the amount of points you get as a reward from each match.
Regardless of if they walk it back they still demonstrated their intention to design games not around the game itself, but the possibilities to monetise the content within them. I don't mind that on a free to play game but on a full price release it is greedy and I will no longer purchase any full price game with loot box microtransactions in it. That is the only way to counter this sort of absolute arseholery.

The lads from Derby on Gogglebox. Spotted a Dave Mackay Champions mug nicely positioned on the table. Good effort 

My wife just knocked the one on te left out of my hand and into the sink, breaking the handle into 5 pieces ?. She says that I can “glue it together again” ? and that when I go over in December I can “buy another one. It’s only a mug.”
She’s right of course, it is only a mug. A 21 year old mug in excellent condition even though I used it most days. Please give my regards to the ex Mrs @richinspain when you see her ?
 
 
 
 
Luckily, I’ve got an identical one in the cupboard (with handle intact) that was a duplicate gift ✌?

Wash your mouth out!
Inception is one of the finest movies ever made. Only Cobb has real depth because all the other characters are shallow representations of people in his subconscious, as he explains to his missus at some point. That's after she's explained to him that being pursued around the globe by nameless organizations is because he's in a dream. But he refuses to wake up. You're waiting for a train...
Extraordinary conception. How do you know you didn't dream up DCFCFANS? Do you remember how you got here?

Bad  I saw it when it came out at the cinema, didn't enjoy it then but might rewatch and see if my opinion will change.

Although the maths in the film isn't perfect, it's reasonably coherent and one of the cleverest ideas they come up with. Basically (and true to real-life) an hour of real time is the equivalent of 12-20 hours dreaming (20 if you have a strong sedative like the guy is able to prepare). And in the next level of dreaming this is multiplied so an hour in real life will be between 144 and 400 hours of dream time. And so on. Your question gets it the wrong way around. They have to do everything during the flight to America, but by the time Cobb is rescuing old man Saito from "limbo" at the end it's right that Saito would have lived decades down there and Cobb would have had time to bring him out.
Either in reality Cobb knows Yusef is a good chemist and has to go to wherever it is (Morococo?) to hire him or it's Cobb's overall dream state and he finds himself there when he needs the good chemist.
I think the film would have been dull if they explained how people get into each other's dreams. They show a device that they hook themselves up to and for that you have to suspend your disbelief and accept that this is possible.
In the film, the different levels are parts of different people's dreams. My personal interpretation was the entire film is set within an overall dream of Cobb's, but he refuses to acknowledge he's dreaming. His wife has killed herself to wake up, but he doesn't think it's a dream so he can't dream he's not being chased. But if you take the initial level as reality, the dream levels go:
Van chase - chemist Yusef's Hotel - Arthur Snow fortress - Eames (the forger) Cobb's and his wife's dream world - Cobb Limbo - a shared state The absence of gravity from the truck falling has a clever impact on the next dream down in the hotel. It makes sense to me that this happens, though I can see inconsistencies in that it doesn't affect the further down dream levels. The Nolan brothers would probably argue the effect is localized. Though I accept the kick of van hitting water and lift hitting the ground feed through the other levels.
All thoughtful questions. My answers may be rubbish or unsatsfying but it's important to me that there is a logical consistency to these things so I enjoy thinking about it. Onward! I have premieres of Downsizing and How to Talk to Girls at Parties coming up in a couple of weeks so look forward to posting about those.
Is that good or bad?
