I went to see Dune with my wife today. It was the first opportunity we've had to go out on a date in quite a while and thankfully the movie was very good. We both liked part 1 quite a bit and I'm a big fan of the novels.

Here's a review of Dune part 2 that I largely agreed with and that doesn't really have many spoilers.

I'll also try to get a book/movie review up in the next couple of days.

My wife and I did exactly the same today. It was good. I liked both movies a lot. Very refreshing change from the garbage pumped out by Disney lately.

I wouldn't say they're close to my favorite movies, but they are very impressive and I like that they are very different from anything else being made.

It's nice to see a movie that is legitimately artistic and that clearly a lot of care went into making.

They sort of remind me of 2001: A Space Opera, in that they show the story of the book very well, but I prefer the high level of detail and exposition in the books.

I really enjoyed the book, one of my favorites. I've been hard selling it to my 2 older kids, and my son started reading recently. My daughter continues to ignore me and keeps her nose dived deep into Rick Riordan stuff, but I will persist on the hard selling.

I find the first movie quite enjoyable and am very interested in going to see part 2 in the theaters. Problem is finding time to go...

Looking forward to reading your review.

I felt like part 1 was a 2 hour trailer for part 2.

Did you enjoy the movie?

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined 4 Mar

Yes. Part 1 and part 2 combined are 5 hours well spent. Read the book too and you've got yourself a pretty full week.

These are good questions that I don't have an answer to. But if I had to guess, I would say it's probably around 2 or 3 weeks and around 2000 euros.

Feels that way but I think Genesis has a couple more days of GBTC dumping to do. Not sure if that will happen this week or not but they were dumping thursday and friday. Fortunately the new ETFs ate up all the outflow but that definitely suppressed the price or we would have been ripping if 400M didn't get dumped each day.

In terms of improving the content, I think so. I'm not sure yet if this will attract more stackers or alienate those who can't make it to the top 64.

85 sats \ 1 reply \ @gnilma 3 Mar

In theory, I think improved content means more attractive to consumers of content. I don't think it will alienate those who don't make it to the top 64, as those who don't hit top 64 probably are not very active zappers or content creators. I could be completely wrong. The market will decide; the numbers at the end of the month will tell.

42 sats \ 0 replies \ @kr 3 Mar

yeah tbd on how people outside the top 64 feel, but worth noting that these stackers are not getting “nothing”… they still get all the zaps others get for great content. they’re just not getting the bonus rewards.

In Malawi, where I'm to spend some time, 3 March is Martyrs Day. Commemorating the people who are believed to have fought and died for freedom. I don't know how true that is, but I love to hear about heroes who sacrifice their whatever for others.

Sadly, it suffered the almost unavoidable 30-odd years of authoritarianism post- the colonial handover to emerge as a country that is struggling with poor natural resources beyond agriculture.. i hope it is able to make continued progress for its people.

3 March is Hina Matsuri, a Japanese doll festival for girls. My wife promptly displayed this:

108 sats \ 3 replies \ @Bitman 3 Mar

Yay another festival day! Your wife and daughter must love it.

Here's two questions that you might be able to answer: why has the Japanese birthrate decreased over the years (I've heard one reason, and want to hear from another source).

Secondly, why the 3 pin plug? That looks like something from England. Has Singapore a historical connection to England? Colonization?

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @cryotosensei 3 Mar

Tough question. I would say that the Japanese are predisposed to marriage and child-rearing. It’s in their DNA. Young people kinda get freaked out about not settling down by a certain age and go for matching parties.

However, more and more young Japanese find that being connected to others is troublesome. This explains the weird trend of people getting married to their sex dolls. I think there could be many reasons why people shun from establishing connections. Work is tiring, they wanna have their own time to do their stuff, some people are in sexless and/or weekend marriages.

I think overall the Japanese are not optimistic about the future of their country. Which explains why they don’t want to bring another human being into this earth.

Yes, Singapore was colonised by the U.K before. Sharp eyes!

108 sats \ 1 reply \ @Bitman 4 Mar

Yikes, none of that sounds great.

The explanation that I'd heard centered on the idea that traditionally Japanese women are expected to end their career in order to raise children.

The hypothesis continues that modern Japanese women neither want to end their careers, nor want to buck tradition, so they largely choose to be childless in order to follow their career.

I can't remember where I'd heard about this hypothesis. I wonder if it's based on fact.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @cryotosensei 4 Mar

Yes it is true. I covered it under “they wanna have time to do their own stuff”. Stuff meaning advancing in their career or fulfilling self-actualisation needs like travel.

Well birth rates are plummeting all over the world, not just Japan

Everything is an artwork in Japan. I’m sorry that I don’t know more about how these display dolls are made to give you a more substantial answer. Haha.

Those breaks are important. I'm getting away in a week or two later this month. I always like to get away for St Patrick's Day to avoid the drunk lunatics. Wait, is that racist? You don't need to be Irish to act like a moron in these parts on St Patrick's Day.

157 sats \ 2 replies \ @carlosfandango 3 Mar freebie

It’s a real holiday in Ireland. Great Britain ended its colonial occupation and rule of Ireland in 1921. There is a certain awkwardness, and racism, around that settlement with regards to Northern Ireland (which remains part of the United Kingdom) which means St Patrick’s day is largely ignored in Britain.
