I am a simple man. I see one of these Stonss Fonn Stonssing or whatever the fuck his-face-was, even ironically, I downvote and move on. I suggest you do the same.

Stupid CEOs seem to be stupid suckers/marks for so much "corporate astrology", mesmerized into a greedy stupid stupor by the same old soothing, stupid magic spell: "more automation... less meatbags..."

Ah yes... the ol' Wittgenstein approach!
The bastard rolled up his sleeves, said "hold this" laterally handing someone his mug of Weiss Hefeweizen, and proceeded to forge a theoretical analysis of theory itself! To boil his work into just one VERY lo-res sentence.

don't forget the camera work

One element that fits under "creative problem-solving".

That long subjective camera rush towards Ash (Campbell), the one that continued the cliffhanger end of Evil Dead 1, then lifting Ash and spinning him at high speed... I can deconstruct more or less how they did it - at regular or slow speed, Campbell strapped to a board and on an axes, etc. - but I still can't wrap my head around the insanely good final result. It's like... one of the best examples in cinema of something being more than the sum of its' parts.

That's like A Bout De Soufflé caliber gourmet shit, Jimmy!

Evil Dead Pt 2 is the best remake ever.
The same director, making the same film twice, but with a (moderately) higher budget, a lot of creative problem-solving, a defiant "We can do this" attitude, and Bruce Campbell reaching Buster Keaton-levels of physical comedy genius.
Incredible, all the way, through and through.

Isn't it a line of defense against insects?
"Animals" would be broad enough to be true,
"Mammals" zoomed in on the wrong kingdom.

Which may be even better as a joke, here's this thing smug in having finally found a technique to defend itself against a 100 million year foe, like Moe throwing insect Barney out of his bar, and here's mammal Barney behind Moe again!

Polite words after someone kicks the bucket, whoever they may be, is politics, understandable.

That said, it does seem like she went out of her way to lay it on thick, didn't she? With a nasty synthetic aftertaste to it. She chose her words carefully and it looks like her kissing the boot of a fucking goddamned sick soulless monster.

Here's my obituary for cheney:
He shot a man in the face, then abused his tremendous privilege to avoid police questioning for 36 hours, after he'd had time to sober up, even as he got hundreds of thousands of people killed by kicking a hornet's nest in the Middle East, all for oil profit of his Halliburton and Clearwater buddies.

Rest not, but wallow in shit and eternal damnation,
Dick "Why Don't You Go FUCK YOURSELF?!!" Cheney

 

Wherever there is matter in an ever-thinning universe, there might be an entire cosmologically-sized era dominated by an entirely different chemistry to what we have now.

 

If the answer is YES, a related follow-up question: if each visible color of the spectrum were to measure a centimeter in width, how far would I have to move the sensor from the red to detect the change from infrared to microwave, then to radio?

In the knowledge that Sir William Herschel discovered infrared by repeating Newton's experiment, but with a thermometer to measure the temperature of each component of the spectrum, and after placing the thermometer a bit to the side of the red light, in darkness, noticed quite by accident that the device would still register heat, therefore an invisible yet very real component of light was there, warming the thermometer.
