It didn’t work for me. And his head size was just over the top.

Wait, was I supposed to laugh at the trailer? I’m confused.

He’s right! I love that he called it out. He’s got an edge of outcome bias for sure. Makes me want to see more of his stuff.
His movie Elevation was better than the reviews say it is, I liked it a lot and thought it was one of his best performances. Just my $0.02.
Here is a fun thought experiment. In any zero sum game there will be a Warren Buffet. And people will follow him or her around asking for their advice and writing books on it while ignoring all the people who did exactly the same thing that lost everything.
So for the experiment it’s a coin flipping championship with millions of participants. Heads you win and move on, tails you lose. All the coins are the same and totally fair. Someone will win far more than everyone else. People will follow this person around, invite them to speak publicly, write books, and so on. If they fail to understand the world properly they’ll buy into it and even tell people their secret to flipping coins successfully.
Don’t be fooled by randomness. Instead motivate against bad luck and position yourself to exploit good luck.

I suggest reading Fooled by Randomness.
But I respect you for being confidently wrong.

Somewhat related to how bad it is at that company right now:
Yesterday my brother and I drove by a brand new Jeep Wrangler (had a new car plate) that looked like a 24 or 25 that was burnt to the ground from the engine (my guess as the burning was much worse there than the cabin.) Emergency services were there still putting water on the engine bay but the ambulances were already gone. Hopefully everyone is okay.

That’s delightful to hear! As a layman I wondered how the book was for people in the field. I just read it for entertainment myself.

Fuck cancer!

Neutrophils are my favorite part of the immune system. I’m paraphrasing the book Immune–an amazing book that’s totally worth your time–with this example.
You’re breaking into a museum to steal art. A security guard spots you, calls out on the radio for more security guards and charges you screaming! The guard then rips its own organs and swings them at you as weapons. As the guard is pummeling you with it’s organs you can see it’s getting tired, all of the sudden it explodes into Spider-Man type web made up of it’s body to keep you from escaping as other screaming security guards start to hit you with their organs!
Metal AF right?

LMAO!! Like a Denver Omelette, never heard of it until it was on a movie. I lived here my whole damn life. People just be naming shit after is without our involvement.

What the fuck? I live near Denver and I’ve never had a Denver. This is bullshit!

I saw a video saying that this was so that birds would eat instead of mammals. Something about spreading out further.

You’re welcome!

The story is alright, but the combat is pretty good.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 3 months ago:
Everspace 2 (first one was a rogue like, you don’t need to play it to enjoy the sequel)
Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (also a sequel, the first one doesn’t have a Y axys so you may not like it)
Chorus
All three are a lot of fun, neither are AAA games so they lack a bit of polish but aren’t vanilla as hell either. I enjoyed each one better than Starfield but neither as much as ME 1-3.

Totally agreed! It’s amazing how bad eating trash makes me feel over time.
- Comment on I live in the green part 5 months ago:
It used to. 2014 I almost passed out at the top of pikes peak due to me weight and how out of shape I was. I fixed that!
Lost 80lbs over 2 years and feel younger now than I did in 2014.

I’m not sure why you’re getting down voted but I like the joke.
