I'm not fond of watching documentaries. Hence, I was somewhat reluctant to start watching Solar System, despite its very high IMDb rating of #8.9. I'm glad that I did. Professor Brian Cox (b.1968) is an excellent storyteller, including for a layman like me. One of his questions is still bugging me: Why did planet Earth move from geological activity (eg, volcanoes)...
In 2017, writer Martha Wells (b.1964) introduced the The Murderbot diaries. Its 1st story is now available on Apple TV+ as the series Murderbot. Its ingredients make it a great mix to binge-watch: (i) the robot hacks its security module, and thus (ii) creates its free will. An excellent idea: robotic free will ! Obviously, the series also includes Isaac Asimov's...
Several weeks ago, I noticed a funny trailer of season 4 of Only Murders in the Building (OMITB). Unfortunately, season 4 is hardly funny while season 1 was quite funny and entertaining. Hence, I fail to understand its very high average IMDb rating of 8.1. A rating of 6.9 would be (more than) enough. Season 4 has very many cameo appearances by well-known actors....
Recently, I finally started watching season 1 (2011) of Vera, a TV series rated at 8.1 on IMDb. My rating is a 9. Soon, I'll start watching season 12 (2023) of 14 (2025). Actually, my earlier perception of this series has been very, very wrong. This crime series is excellent despite its main character (ie, Vera). "Vera is a British crime...
Intro LO: Apple’s decision (to cancel its autonomous electric car project) may well be far more important than it looks like. Probably, it will also imply that Tesla will never be able to deliver on its many (similar) promises. Once that thought sinks in, Tesla’s share price will sink further. Autonomous driving has five (or six) levels (source): Level 0: no Driving...
Sinds enkele weken heb ik af en toe momenten dat ik me verveel. Meestal gebeurt dat ‘s avonds. Dit gevoel is nieuw. Ik weet niet goed waarom. Mogelijke verklaringen zijn het nieuwe jaar, gebrek aan inspiratie, het stoppen met dating, en/of het opzeggen van TV streaming diensten. Waarschijnlijk voorkomt mijn online spel dat mijn verveling vaker gebeurt. Het...
