@ajayidavid11 @simscircuit What does running around in Tokyo have to do with it?
English

🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton: "I was in Tokyo between this race and the last race, I've run like 100 kilometres. I know that none of the drivers I'm racing against have trained as hard as I am and giving it what I am, especially at my age. I love that, that I still have that drive to push myself. The commitment is there, more than ever. I dedicate absolutely everything I have to this challenge."

@Ds2000xx @mercsogyny Leaving a press conference is wildly different than demanding a journalist leave before you take questions

@iamGiancarloD @muslimlebron @KingsCake__1 First of all, that is NOT an important game. They’re trying to tank. None of their games are important.
That said, he’s the 42nd pick at the end of the day. He was not expected to even be a rotational player coming into the season and was forced into the starting role.

@muslimlebron @KingsCake__1 I agree with you on the second part . I would rather much watch him taking the shots then monk or rozan. But last night is a clear example of him shooting real poorly in important games ; can’t be shooting under 50% when all your shots (excluding a 3) are under the rim. lol

@clovrleafmotors @HillF1 @RayyLH44 @Darkprinz44 There's a thing called copyright.
Go and watch the episodes and find out, like others already did.

California's snowpack has collapsed at a pace never seen before in late winter, the fastest late February–March melt on record.
Spring snowpack is now on track to be the second smallest since records began in 1950, trailing only 2015, the lowest snowpack year in the Sierra Nevada in at least the last 500 years.
Phillips Station, the state's most iconic snowpack measurement site, is expected to show bare ground on April 1, the date that has historically marked peak snowpack.

@US_Stormwatch Heatwaves now have categories. How dramatic.

California is not just experiencing a heatwave on land.
A Category 3 to locally Category 4 marine heatwave has developed off the Southern California coast.
La Jolla in San Diego recorded a water temperature of 71°F (21.7°C) yesterday on the last day of winter. That's warmer than the average water temperature in August.

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real.
The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later.
Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him.
Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman.
Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact.
95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.
