True she didn't have to be there but we were shown her picking the first fruit from the tree and then it cuts to the escape with the wives. Regardless of the tree though, the age difference explains the necessary time jump from Furiosa killing/catching Dementus to Furiosa making the Fury Road run.

The end scene of Furiosa definitely has a large time jump. There was enough time for a tree to grow over Dementus. Which at a minimum is a few years. I would consider that to be enough time to rebuild gas town and bullet farm. Not to mention the implied time jump based on the her age difference. I think all the other minor discrepancies play into the idea that tales passed down by oral recollection will result in changes. The movie even implied that with the narrator talking about the different version of how people recall Furiosa killing Dementus.

I take all of it to mean that the major plot points are events that happened but the details, actions scenes, etc can be embellishments of each story teller.

That's Rabbit not Humane AI. These two clowns came from Apple and started Humane

Asus zen phone had received great reviews. You can use it as stock Android or with Asus' slight customizations. It's on the smaller side but it's a good price.

It was disappointing to go through the saga of thinking I found a semi reliable podcast regarding health and current research, to finding some weak episodes, and finally arriving at the conclusion that his methodology is sloppy at best. The Dr Lustig episode was especially egregious. He let that guy make some of the most outlandish claims that I've heard. He made up statements about how FDA nutrition labels are required which was easily dismissible by a quick look at the FDA website. That was more or less the final nail in the coffin for me.

The biggest indicator to the scientific weakness of his podcast is the rate of release. It is not possible to do weekly releases on the complex topics he covers AND maintain the level of scientific scrutiny required to vet the referenced research or guest.

We're all assuming it's a 4 digit code for the laughs. It could still be tough to crack if it's 5+ digits.

Damn a 75% conversion rate to permanent housing within 1 years is pretty amazing. This shows that most homeless people just need a little help, especially those that we're stable before medical issues or accidents. Next step is to fix our socio-economic system so one or two bad events don't put people out on the streets.

It's a terrible headline that completely downplays a successful mission. Instead of focusing on the fact that they achieved a landing accuracy of 55m where previous missions measured in kilometres they went for a cheap joke. This is in spite of having a thruster fail that resulted in the lander tipping over but still able to deploy is rover. The same article from a better website would have probably faired better.

Another option is rocket language. It seems to be a lot focused on developing conversational skills. It's is paid but not subscription which I'm a fan of. You just buy the language you want. The first few lessons of a language are free if you want to try it. I'm test running it right now to start my switch away from Duolingo

Not exactly sure what it is but I'm just not big on Anya. I wish they had chosen someone else.

Just FYI Signal no longer supports SMS. They decided it "leads to confusion" and a partially secure app is not good enough. Led me to stop donating to them.

It's always been lowest common denominator content that's made the most money. I always ask people about movie preferences and an ever increasing common theme "Life is already tough, I don't want a serious movie, I just want mindless entertainment." Sequels provide that, you know the characters, you know the stakes, sprinkle in jokes and you have a mindless money maker.
