Yeah who is out shopping for sweatpants, takes a pair off the rack and says “fuck yea my ass gonna say Juicy”?

It is neither! 35mm is the overall width of the film. And, there are many different standards for frame sizes; the same film stock is used for still photography and motion picture photography, both are different. But, a typical 35mm frame is 16mm tall.

The space between the sprocket holes is 25.375mm, or very, very slightly under 1 inch.

Bonus fact: Both capture the same 35x24mm image but they’re physically different sizes because they’re captured in different orientations.

Sorta!

So, yes, a 35mm still camera like most of us milennials’ baby pictures were taken with does use the same film stock as a 35mm movie camera. The film is 35mm in overall width, but some of that is taken up with the two rows of sprocket holes.

A normal still camera feeds the film horizontally, and takes a 24x36 mm landscape frame. There are half-frame cameras that, in the same form factor, produce 24x16mm images. On the film, two images take up the same amount of space as a single “normal” image, with a border in between. It’s a little confusing in that, you hold the device in landscape orientation and it shoots a portrait orientation.

Movie film is fed vertically, and you can do an entire lecture on the different aspect ratios it’s captured at. The film in the camera and the film in the projector may actually be different. Part of the reason is audio. Motion picture cameras don’t actually capture audio, that’s a separate team’s job, and we have about a century worth of different technology to send audio with the film to the projector. A typical movie will use a strip on the left side for optical audio, allowing 22x16mm for the image. The image is distorted to be narrower than it should be, and is projected through a lens to widen it back out during projection. There are other permutations to use more or less of the film stock through various means, but that’s the most common standard.

There’s like eight ways to do audio; I mentioned the continuous analog optical track recorded to the immediate left of the frame. You may also find digital audio recorded on the edge outside the sprocket holes, or Dolby digital audio recorded in between the sprocket holes. Or, a digital timecode on the film allows multi-track digital audio stored on optical discs to be synchronized with the projected image. Many film prints include multiples of these technologies because the publisher might not be sure what audio equipment the theater has; You want to be able to play Avengers Versus Lord Of The Rings XVII: This Time It’s Personal in an independent cinema with a projector made in 1970 and at least get analog stereo out of it.

I don’t know. I’ve never used one.

They’re not typical in the United States; one-piece comforters are more typical.

I went to ERAU Daytona, which had basically every kind of living arrangement you can think of except the traditional “bedrooms around a hallway around a communal bathroom” deal you described. Note: I have seen dorms exactly like that, but ERAU didn’t have them.

The closest you’d get was Doolittle hall, which has clusters of four rooms that share one bathroom, several to a hallway. McKay hall looks for all the world like an old motel, the room doors open to the outside world, each room has two beds, two desks and a bathroom in the back. The Student Village had a couple halls where a pair of rooms had a kind of antechamber for closet space with a bathroom in between, Adam and Wood halls. It also had O’Connor hall, where I lived, which featured 4 bedroom, 2 bath apartments with living rooms/kitchenettes, housing 8 men total. Just off of that was Stimpson Hall, where upperclassmen still living on campus lived. Imagine a conjoined studio apartment, is the best way I can describe this; two men lived in two bedrooms sharing a small common area and kitchen. Apollo Hall had just been built and they were filling it up, I never saw the interior of that building.

Okay, you know how we put pillows in pillowcases, so that when it’s time to wash the bed linens you don’t have to wash and more to the point dry the pillow stuffing?

Take that same concept and apply it to your comforter or bedspread.

A duvet is a thick blanket that’s designed to come apart so you can wash or exchange the outer layer without having to wash the fluffy insulation. Another feature is that you can own multiple covers and one actual blanket, so if you want to change up your colors you can just swap out the cover. One-piece comforters don’t fold up that compactly for storage, but empty duvet covers do.

Yes there are.

First of all, all cars that you’re actually going to drive on the road have two hydraulic brake systems that are almost entirely in parallel. Go look at the master cylinder in your car, there are two lines coming out of the side of it. The way that works is a floating piston; the brake pedal pushes on a piston that applies hydraulic pressure to the first line, and to a piston that floats in the master cylinder which applies pressure to the second line. If either hydraulic system were to fail, that floating piston will bottom out on that side and allow pressure to still be applied to the remaining hydraulic circuit.

If the rear one fails, the floating piston will physically touch the piston attached to the pedal, and be pushed directly. If the forward one fails, it’ll bottom out against the free end of the master cylinder and allow the other to continue working.

Most systems connect one front wheel and one back wheel to each circuit, often in opposite corners of the vehicle. You can lose one line and still have at least partial braking force.

Well…how about this:

the race of Beforeians seeded inhabited worlds. So the entire biosphere happened on its own from cyanobacteria up to wooly mammoths and shit, and then the beforeians seed the planet with hominids.

If life didn’t evolve on Earth, the Beforeians wouldn’t have seeded it. Just like they didn’t seed Mars or Venus.

You blamed the problem on capitalism, I used communism as a non-capitalist example to demonstrate irrelevancy. If the tire is flat, it doesn’t matter if the car is manual or automatic. That is what leading scholars call an analogy, it is a rhetorical device used to draw comparisons between relationships. Stated in full: The problem of an aging population has as much to do with capitalism vs communism as a flat tire has to do with the vehicle’s transmission being manual or automatic. I state this because I have come to believe you’re the kind of internet idiot/troll/bot that takes analogies literally out of genuine stupidity or intentional bad faith.

We don’t have the technology to eliminate the majority of the workforce. If we did, the Epstein class would have done it by now out of pure shitheartedness. And only in the fever dreams of a syphilitic moron would one quarter of the population work to take care of the other three quarters be a solution to anything.

Tire sizes are what happens when an industry centers itself around tetra ethyl lead.

Well shit.

Weird fact: Unknown Worlds Entertainment licensed the Cyclops name for the submarine in Subnautica from OceanGate.

To which I would conclude that hydraulic brakes are still required equipment, even if used less frequently.

Yes, as a matter of fact.

So, this episode was in canon when All Good Things was written. Q goes through this whole speech about how the anomaly caused by Picard in the future stops life from forming on Earth, thus humans never exist. “You, in several million years.” he says.

How does that interact with the “everyone is seeded from a common ancestor” plot?

Car tires, I think the world over, are sized in millimeters of tread width, aspect ratio of sidewall height, and inches in rim diameter. A 215-65R 15 is 215mm wide, 65% of 215mm from bead to tread, and fits on a 15 inch rim.

and brake only when I need to stop faster

So you don’t drive solely using one pedal then? Sometimes you use the brakes?

That has nothing to do with capitalism. How does communism solve the “we have a lot of old people that need care” issue that doesn’t divert more people of working age to the Taking Care Of Old People industry? The Soviet answer seems to be “life expectancy of 52” and the Chinese answer seems to be “that’s their state mandated 1 child’s problem.”
