No, they are not. Imagine some construction work with heavy drilling outside your bedroom window.

Make it soundproof and take my money.

Hey, aliens aren't stupid! They know that we've got more cameras nowadays and are more careful because of it.

Chums of Chance.

From moviegoers point-of-view it has made a world of difference. For a smaller release the number of film copies we had in circulation here in Finland was miniscule and there was n…

Yes, this would be my hypothesis too. I see Hollywood epics all the way from D.W. Griffith (and the studios that made them) wanting to broadcast an aura of gravitas. And nothing do…

Yup, sounds like a Rob Zombie song.

If you want to differentiate between mammals and other vertebrates you could simply say "other vertebrates".

Personal anecdote. I remember dragging myself to measure theory classes at 8am and constantly struggling with the material, even if I'd had a good night's sleep. After a few weeks …

Exactly this, and they are ubiquitous. With software I think it might be a slightly different matter as the company mighy have access to software you couldn't otherwise afford. But…

Entertainment, addiction, corporate-sponsored years and tennis. It’s still pretty relevant!

I was so immersed in the book on my first read-through I ended up skipping the footnotes because I found jumping between them and the main text a bit jarring. At that point I was c…

The first time I read Infinite Jest I was expecting something as inaccessible as Ulysses or Gravity’s Rainbow but ended up finding the book pretty readable and a total delight. And…

I just (re)watched Heat last night and when I saw this article/thread I immediately thought of that scene! BTW there’s a sequel novel coming out in couple of weeks https://www.amaz…

I’d guess not. Ivanovich is the patronym of the pseudonym, the full pseudonym thus being Kirill Ivanovich Krechetov. Unless you meant Krasnodarski Krai which refers to a place, not…

Lecture videos to go with it https://aalto.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.a... .

I'd highly recommend "Gödel's Proof" by Ernest Nagel and James Newman ( https://www.amazon.com/G%C3%B6dels-Proof-Ernest-Nagel/dp/081... ). It'll probably require a bit of patience …
