I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

I dunno, I just read this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada and it seems like you're not as bad as the US, but still haven't 100% got yourselves around the concept of a metric system.

It's completely unintelligible, but still better than Quantum of Solace on principle.

A bad movie though.

As someone who works in actual science, no one uses Kelvin. I've made the argument before that I don't think the difference between 277 degrees and 253 degrees is probably insignificant to the rate of DNA degradation and my coworker stared at me for 20 straight seconds before it clicked.

Skyfall is one of those great movies that really doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about the plot later, but you don't care at the time because it's such a good ride.

Also, best send-off for one of the best, most underrated actresses in Hollywood.

The only way Goldfinger could have been better is if Bond was Roger Moore, the best Bond.

I haven't really done any traveling that wasn't part of an organize tour trip. I'd really love to sometime. Now that I'm FINALLY done with school I can hopefully save up some money and do that. The problem is that I don't want to go alone, but none of my friends would go with me. I wanna see Europe. Never been there.

:toot: Yay school is done.

Also solo travel can be very nerve wracking, and honestly I think requires a bit more planning than travelling with others, but it can lead to some amazing experiences. You never have to compromise on what you want to do, after all.

We have the same opinion on Skyfall but opposite outcomes. It's not that fun of a ride, but Skyfall fooled me the first time I watched it into thinking it was really good cinema when really it was just flashy and shallow.

On the opposite end, the Pierce Brosnan films have the opposite affect. The first time you watch them you think they're horrible drivel, but the more you watch them (on cable, really) you realize how entertaining they really are.

My top 3 bond films are probably

1. Casino Royale
2. Die Another Day
3. Goldfingereneye, hosed that up

I'm sure the Connery movies are good but I'm just not ever gonna watch them, sorry dad

A lot of engineering work and set ups, especially in America are designed around the imperial system, so Rankine is used for such systems. Most younger engineers, myself included, would try to work with metric if we were designing from scratch, but often enough in retrofitting/modification of existing designs it can be more straightforward and introduce less room for error to just work in imperial throughout, and in such a case Rankine would typically see use.

Skyfalls biggest problem is that none of the (pretty great) sequences ties together coherently at all. You could cut out almost all of the China trip from the first half of the movie and lose nothing from the eventual plot.

Also Javier Bardem was a boring villain. Hot Takes.
