Are we going to talk about how that used to be some poor family's home?

Not the fault of these guys, but fuck Russia and fuck that war.

Microbiology: One of the few professions where you wash your hands before you go to the bathroom.

Anyone who uses this should be considering switching to Linux though.

I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.

I want that two minutes and twenty-five seconds of my life back.

FYI if you really want to know there's a guy on YouTube (Kroft) that has done dozens of very good videos on the Alien movies. He breaks down what was said as it was in the original script. And it's interesting and would have made a better movie, but I think Scott chickened out of the potential controversy.

Long and short of it is that >!2000 years ago the Engineers had taken a human to their home world and trained him and enlightened him and sent him back to earth to spread the message but his compatriots nailed him to a cross.!<

!The Engineers, therefore, decided that our race was a failed experiment and decided to exterminate us but their own weapons got away from them and killed them before they could pull it off.!<

There's more to it, but go watch Kroft's videos if you want to know more.

Scott obviously hates scientists or is completely oblivious to how science works. The crew is the least scientific group of people ever assembled on film.

The Prometheus cost a trillion dollars and Wayland is betting his life on the success of the mission, but off the top of my head:

• The scientists aren't told what their mission is until they arrive at their destination which is so ridiculous, but you can argue that's what they signed up for, so okay. But that gives no one a chance to say "oh, then we should pack this odd piece of equipment."
• Wayland's presence isn't known to the crew, so no one is prepared as any sort of backup to David other than his daughter.
• There's one autodoc and it's only configured for males so again... Travel to another star after spending a trillion dollars with no backup? But somehow it can perform a C-section on a female with an alien in her. Okay.
• The pilot has to stand up? Really?
• The atmosphere is breathable so on that alone they take their helmets off. Sigh.

He should have brought the scientists and engineers that designed, tested and built the ship itself, because they were good.

I mean the list is just goes on and on about how unscientific the mission is. There's a whole cottage industry of youtubers pointing out the innumerable flaws in that movie.

I mean seriously. What the fuck.

I'm locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.

I'd love to switch to linux but it just doesn't make sense for me.

I'm an embedded systems developer and my proprietary toolchain is windows only. Additionally I use several Adobe product routinely (illustrator, photoshop, premier).

Sucks.

That version is definitely not directed by Ridley Scott.

That's a bit woke for Texas isn't it?

Blaine is a pain and that's the truth.

From each according to their ability; to each according to their greed.
