I hate to defend Disney here, but based on the evidence presented by this article (maybe the actual filing is better) this is hard to see as plagiarism.

Both stories are based on the same cultural stories, so they automatically have similarities there. Maui typically uses a hook in those stories, so of course that is a common element. A portal in a whirlpool is a known trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PortalPool

Monster in a mountain is obviously a trope (e.g. Smaug, etc).

Yep, you’re right. Had the 2 on the wrong side. Fixing.

It is either a 30 60 or 60 120 Hz flicker, depending on how they built the electronics. It is 30 60 Hz if they didn’t include an inverter and 60 120 Hz if they did.

Without an inverter, it will be off for 50% of the time. With an inverter, it will always be on, but sometimes dim.

With better electronics, it will be steady on, but that’s not common in christmas lights.

I’ll start by saying do not do this, but even if it was wired wrong and neutral was connected to hot and everything was properly insulated, then the breaker would trigger pretty quickly since it would be a short.

If the breaker is faulty, then there could be a bigger issue, but that’s fairly unlikely.

As an example, UW Madison which has a fairly large and profitable athletics program generated 12 million in profit last year. They aren’t the largest athletics program in the country, but it is bigger than many. Sits around the middle.

The patents and IP owned by the university provided $134 million in grants and support. Again, the school has a large STEM component, but it isn’t a top tier university. Again, sits around the middle. The organization providing this funding manages its investments carefully and intends to provide this level of funding year after year.

Research departments generated more revenue and the funding is likely more reliable.

By the same arc do you mean a character overcoming an emotionally difficult moment in their life? While that’s true, it’s also true for hundreds of other stories.

Of course it uses the same premise, that’s the point of this story being told as an “inside out” film.

I feel that it should be judged on how well it can help the audience emphasize with the characters (not the emotion characters, but the human girl) and the trials that they are going through while also being entertaining, educational, or thought-provoking. In this regard I think it did a pretty good job of showing how tough puberty can be. As a parent of a kid about to hit puberty, I think it did an excellent job of discussing these issues.

You say that likes it’s a bad thing, but you’re describing a “fan”, someone who likes a thing and wants to spend their disposable time, energy, and money on that.

I don’t say this to specifically defend Disney, but rather to push back on the hyperbolic language. As an example by absurdity: you could say that the RIAA pushes band, string, choir, etc classes in grade school onto kids to get them hooked on music so that more kids will be hooked on music as adults.

It belongs in a museum!

Yeah, and stop having sex and listening to rock and role.

That’s a solution that just isn’t going to work. We as a society need to plan for using more and more energy. Therefore, we need to create cleaner and cleaner ways to generate that energy. If solar can be implemented until we scale up fission, that’s great. We can then rely on fission for a few hundred years until we get to fusion.

People will complain about the dangers of fission only while they ignore the dangers of fossil fuels and aren’t required to use them. As soon as fossil fuels start running out, then fission isn’t going to sound so bad. Frankly, it shouldn’t sound bad now.

Yeah, I’m sure that trend of entertaining and well done interviews will die off soon. It’s been going for at least a few centuries, its gotta lose popularity eventually right?

Autocorrect really did a number on your comment.

Except the one about dishwashers, that one is great a definitely doesn’t lead to a rabbit hole that contains a grown man discussing the color of Christmas lights and figuring out different ways to paint white bulbs to get the right color of blue.

That’s why it’s a mini-movie, you probably don’t need to see most of them if the plot can be fully developed and resolved in 2 - 4 minutes.

Games tend to run better on Yuzu as well, they can definitely go to high res or frame rates if you have a decent computer. Some games may not run great right away, but give it a few weeks after release for updates and it absolutely provides a better experience than Nintendo’s system.

The Hill segment focused only on Stewart’s passing comments about US public transportation. Stewart was not commenting on the differences between US and Russian (Moscow) public transportation. Stewart was talking about how Russia is a brutal and oppressive regime and Tucker is a despicable “journalist” by knowingly lying in an attempt to make his audience believe that they need to sacrifice their freedoms.

The Hill journalists focused entirely on the facade of Stewart’s comments and didn’t acknowledge or engage with his main points about the deceit and hidden oppression that Tucker’s segment tried to elide over.

The times article, which the Hill article is just rephrasing:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/26/nyregion/trump-carroll-pay-83-million.html?smid=url-share

I realize there maybe a pay wall for some, but I didn’t have an issue.

The Hill article also misleads by saying that he won’t have to pay. They mean that Carroll may not get paid until the appeals are finished. However, Trump will have to pay a deposit to the court or secure a bond while appeals are pending, so he will have to pay someone for now, but that might not be Carroll yet.

Dances with wolves.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if both were based off an even older version.

It already has lost its meaning. Semites are anyone who speak or spoke a semetic language. Arabic and Hebrew are both semetic languages. Palestinians and Israelis are both semites.
