@JakushkaD @jtimsuggs What about all the other times?

It's just a film. That's why they miss. Same reason they always miss James Bond.

@OliverJia1014 It's for children of all ages. I don't mean that in a bad way.

@PYeerk Not sure expertise is really required here. Eyes are sufficient.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@prieurdp If you have enough space in the car park that this isn't really a factor, then it's still better when you come out, just for visibility.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@prieurdp Your front wheels turn, your back wheels don't.

If you have limited space to swing out before going in, it's harder to go in straight, and if you have to go into a tight space at any angle it's harder to adjust your position. All this is much easier if you back in.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@OrionTrophy @prieurdp Correct, but weird that this doesn't seem to be the most common answer.

@MichaelFKane We're seeing a lot of slopslop.

@jameskeller666 @grok @MerriamWebster So Boing Boing is your source?

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@MerriamWebster I don't think anyone is obliged to follow the trade mark, and I think the term has probably already broken free from those confines?

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@jameskeller666 @grok @MerriamWebster This is dark comedy. You don't treat Merriam-Webster as a source, but you do treat Grok as a source?

@Jaboolie What does "reasonable" mean? What are the various different things "average person" might mean?

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@ShitlibSupreme This is just saying you don't like Star Wars. Bit more than a nit-pick!

@mightydudbolt @The__Hylia Please, watch the clip.

He says "Noooo!" right as he starts to move. Without it, it just takes a moment to confirm what is happening, bearing in mind all that has gone before. It's a subtle difference, but it's an important moment(!) and subtle differences matter.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@mightydudbolt @The__Hylia Because without the "Noooo!" he's not a desperate panic-merchant. Rather, he has made a huge decision and is now firm to it.

More technically, it creates a sense of riveting uncertainty as you watch it - it isn't quite clear until his action plays out exactly what is happening.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@chacaranda In this case the film is too good which is why people are still talking about it 50 years later and why we have got to this point in the conversation. It wasn't always like this!

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@aljhlester @johannesmkx @ShipleyWrites I understand that it's important and useful to be able to talk about groups subjected to colonialism, but trying to do that by insisting on a jargon definition of a word in a general discussion on Twitter is only going to make you look ridiculous. I suggest finding a better way.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@luismbat @simongerman600 Eh? Longevity is a measure of how old you are when you retire (or get dropped). There's nothing to say players would start later?

So if the top end is stretched out 4 years (huge number), the average should increase 2 years, all else being equal. Seems close to what you found?

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@anderssandberg I'm not quite sure why astrophotography is needed to learn this? I think everyone knows which way the sun goes.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@RevivedThoughts No. Regardless of technical arguments either way, people will look down on you if you try this and rightly so.

[Art Markham @artmarkham]

@HartWexford They barely even go near any stars at any point in the whole series.
