I am. For question two.

Again, they are two completely unrelated tasks.

It doesn't. It's just an entirely separate thing. It just wants you to understand the pattern of 1 is A, 2 is B, etc.

Two are two different puzzles / questions. The [ ] underneath are where the test-giver would mark correct or not for each.

Bluesky is still so small, I feel like I can be more open over here...

So... some good news! I asked my boss for 22% raise yesterday β€” and he basically approved it on the spot β€” no pushback at all. Will get it in writing soon 😁

Was the first time in my life I had ever asked for a raise, too. πŸ˜†

Guys.

It's okay to be wrong.

Tripling down on something so stupid and objectively false is childish. I'm not trying to be a pedantic asshole - but like, WORDS HAVE MEANING.

You can't just make shit up.

Oh. It turns out he's just an absolute fucking moron.

My average experience on Reddit... (we're discussing movies)

Me: Being sincere, and possibly oversharing.

Callous 20-something Redditor: weirdly flippant and needlessly cruel?

... why are people like this? And follow-up question: what *did* he mean?! I still don't understand his implication.

Sharknado 2: The Second One premiered 11 years ago today.

Some of its cameo roles have... not aged well.

a man in a purple suit and top hat talks to a little boy ALT: a man in a purple suit and top hat talks to a little boy

At the end of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Wonka bequeaths his entire candy empire to a small German boy because he "can't go on forever."

Gene Wilder is only 38 in this movie.

Dude got one look at middle-age and was like, "fuck it, I'm out." πŸ˜‚

You Put Something Better Inside Me
YouTube video by Stealers Wheel - Topic You Put Something Better Inside Me

Everyone knows Stealers Wheel from that iconic scene in Reservoir Dogs with "Stuck in the Middle With You," but on that same, self-titled album is this track...

Maybe a top-50 all-time for me. β™₯️Can't believe I only discovered it a couple years ago...

Triumph of the Nerds: Part 1: Impressing Their Friends
YouTube video by Multimedia HyperGuide Triumph of the Nerds: Part 1: Impressing Their Friends

My pick? "The Triumph of the Nerds"

It's a 3-part, made-for-TV documentary about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that does a great job of covering the entire rise of the modern computer age. Compelling and fun presentation.

Big recommend for fellow nerds!

There's a thread on r/Flicks asking, "What’s the greatest movie you’ve ever seen that no one else seems to know about?"

Someone suggested "Network." Another, "Amadeus."

God help the children.

Made this using Google Flow's new Veo3 engine for work, and it scares the Hell out of me. 😯

I understandβ€”and agree withβ€”everyone's reservations on using AI video for creative projects + artistic ideas.

But for corporate video, b-roll, and webinars? Shit man... this is nuts.

I haven't seen the first four #MissionImpossible movies in 10 years. Rogue Nation + Fallout, five years.

Should I rewatch them all before Final Reckoning β€” if that means waiting another week or more to see that?

Or just rewatch Dead Reckoning and go to the theater tomorrow?

I've got 4,000+ words written for a big #FinalDestination episode of "Movie Night" - including an incredible idea for the cold open. You can probably guess what I want to "re-create."

Will probably take me a few days to film/edit everything though - so look for it this weekend. It's gonna be good.
