Bruce is beekeeping age, but Artemis would still smash

I respect and agree.

Artemis (thinking out loud): Jason, your dad is at “beekeeping age.” You know what that means?

Jason refused to respond; he already knew where this conversation was headed. But Artemis took his silence as an invitation to elaborate on the slang term.

Artemis: It means he’s an attractive, middle-aged man—usually in his 40s or 50s. You know, the kind of guy who would keep bees and make his own honey.

Jason (monotone): That’s not something he does.

Artemis (undeterred): He doesn’t have to do that exactly. It’s just cute how he’s the cape crusader at night, but at home, he’s such an emo dork—like a businessman and a cool dad. He's good at so many things and I've heard a lot of praise about him when I was on Themyscira if you know what I mean.

Jason pretended to examine his soda can, regretting that he had said anything at all. He wondered how the conversation had even started.

Artemis (enamored): He's tough, tall, and kind of handsome. Little specks of grey in his hair. How old is your dad?

Jason brought his hands together, trying to block out the thoughts swirling in his head.

Artemis: He’s definitely at "beekeeping age." Some Amazons even call him a DILF.

Jason (whispering to himself): I wonder if I killed myself and got thrown in the pit, would I forget this?

Artemis (looking longingly): He reads books, he’s always there for you guys. He protects you like he protects Gotham. I never had a dad, but my mom wasn’t there for me like that either.

Jason refused to respond, taking a long drink from his soda can instead.

Artemis (wistfully): The crazy thing is, none of my former partners—besides you, of course—have made my heart flutter like Bruce and guys like him do. I know you two aren’t close, but a strong man who loves you, supports you, and is conventionally attractive… that's something every woman- I mean child wants.

Jason examined his gun, debating what Artemis would say next while struggling to keep his boiling annoyance at bay.

Artemis (twiddling her fingers, lost in thought): Jason, I think I want to fuck your dad.

Jason (glaring at his ex-girlfriend): No, really? I couldn’t tell!

---------------------------------------------

Later that day, Jason made a surprise visit to Bruce to discuss the earlier conversation. If he was going to live with that moment replaying in his head, the man connected to it would have to hear about it too.

Bruce: She said I was “beekeeping age?”

Jason (staring at his feet): Yes. And before you ask, it’s a term for an ‘attractive’ middle-aged man, usually in his 40s or 50s.

Bruce: How did she know I was in my 40s?

Jason (shouting): Oh my God, that's what you focus on?!

Bruce (alarmed): Sorry, sorry! I’m just thrown off by the fact that she said it... she’s your age, and that felt wrong to hear.

Jason: Yep, yep, yep, she called you a DILF too.

Bruce: What’s a DILF?

Jason covered his eyes, cringing at the word.

Jason: Look it up. Because if I say the full acronym, I might shoot you in your kneecaps!

Bruce shrugged, then pulled out his phone to search for the definition. After reading it, he buried his head in his hands, exhausted by the world.

Bruce (defeated, disappointment tone): Oh, I’m so tired of this. Why can’t people just see me as fairly attractive and move on?

Jason: We’re on the same page about that. I would honestly prefer if people thought you looked like Quasimodo over... everything I heard from Artemis.

Bruce: Yep... yep, I already had to get Selina to stop calling me "Daddy."

Jason nearly vomited at the thought of that word connected to his foster dad.

Jason: This is going to be a full session in therapy next week. Anyway, avoid her forever, or I'm going to lose my mind again.

Bruce: I promise, I’m not going to do anything with her. That may have sounded wrong, but I wouldn’t because it's all kinds of messed up. I’m with Selina—she's my partner. Even if I were single—

Jason shot Bruce a glare, clutching a letter opener. Bruce nodded, cutting himself off before he could say anything that would make Jason want to stab him.

Bruce (ashamed): Have I paid you this month? I have not! Let me get my phone; I’ll be right back!

Bruce hurried out of the office, leaving Jason to collect his bearings. He pondered whether he deserved an extra paycheck after just getting paid last week, then shrugged.

Jason: Works for me.

Miután a négy magyar űrhajósjelölt túlélte a konténerben szimulált ISS űrállomást, elrepültek Houstonban megnézni a napfogyatkozást. "Az izolációs program hat napig tartott, a jelölteket különleges körülmények között arra készítették fel, hogy milyen speciális kihívásokkal kell szembenézniük zárt térben, különböző feladatok elvégzése közben. Az űrhajósjelöltek nem tudtak semmit előre, se a feladatokat nem ismerték, se a helyszínt, sőt az izoláció tervezett hosszát sem. A program a Terrorelhárítási Központ és a Semmelweis Egyetem kiváló szakembereinek közreműködésével valósult meg. 48 négyzetméteres konténerlétesítményben, a Nemzetközi Űrállomáshoz hasonló feltételeket igyekeztek teremteni szűk helyiségekkel, alvókörlettel, hangszigetelt szobával, kevés erőforrással, olyan munkarenddel és rutinnal, amiben a tisztálkodást, az étkezést és az edzést is speciális előírások mentén kellett végrehajtani, miközben tudományos kísérleteket modelleztek. A program következő része az Egyesült Államokban végrehajtandó feladatok, a houstoni központtal együttműködve vesznek részt például centrifuga- és különböző gyorsulási teszteken. - foglalta össze Ferencz Orsolya űrkutatásért felelős főispán. A képen középen Gyurta Dániel látható, aki a Külgazdasági és Külügyminisztérium főtanácsadója és rendkívüli nagykövete és mint volt úszó, minden bizonnyal nagy tudása van az űrutazáshoz. A napfogyatkozás mellett a kis csapat meglátogatta még az Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig & Museum-ot, ahol tanulmányozták az amerikai olajfúrás történelmét. Logikus lépés, hiszen Bruce Willis is olajfúró volt és űrhajós lett belőle, szóval hasznos tudás! Mindenkinek ajánlom a HUNOR program követését, kiváló szórakoztató program. Kicsit savanyú ugyan a szőlő, mivel a HUNOR program 40 milliárd forint közpénzből gazdálkodik, eddig már elvertek 15 milliárdot. Hogy mire, az rejtély.

OK time locked DC events pre 2011 canon in Batfam:

52: this is the time post infinite Crisis, pre OYL. It's a 1 year gap basically during which main titles do not have events happening.

Infinite Crisis: This happens right before 52 and one year before OYL

Bruce Wayne: Murderer link canonically happens one year after NML, referenced in multiple titles. Cass, sometimes after NML ends, accepts Shiva's challenge to fight her in one year. Sasha Bordeaux mentions living with Bruce for close to one year in Detective Comics, and she only started living with Bruce a couple months after NML ended.

No Man's Land: Canonically lasts one year.

Non Batffam time events: Wonder Woman 226 confirms our worlds at war was 2 years ago from infinite crisis, and that was after NML. Jefferson Pierce also canonically spent 2 years as Luthor's secretary of education.

Then you have before this a list of many many events that had to happen during tim's time as robin link I have a hard time imagining JPV bats and knightfall stuff lasting any less than 6 months. I'd have to re-read to see if there is any on panel confirmation of time passed

then before that you have tim's robin training, which I am assuming lasted 6 months because that's how long jason's lasted canonically and the writers were putting a lot of emphasis on tim's training.

so anyway lett's start with OYL, when Damian canonically makes his first appearance, as year "0". He should be 10 at that time.

(should be noted> this is the most condensed timeline possible w/ these events, not what I personally prefer to adhere to. I personally put 1 year between knightfall and NML to re-establish normalcy and allow for late 90s disasterous gotham events)

year 0: Damian is 10, 1 year later comics published

year -1: Damian is 9, infinite crisis

year -3: Damian is 7, our world's at war event happens

year -4: Damian is 6, NML happens

year -5: Damian is 5, Tim starts getting Robin training and then Knightfall happens..

ok so that means that, assuming 0 time between jason dying and tim starting trainin, jason died at year -5.

how long was jason robin? We don't know for sure, but I generally put it at ~3 years. which would put Damian being 2 when Jason starts being Robin. He could easily have been (again, going with the most condensed timline possible). He could easily have been conceived sometime when Dick was a late teenager without breaking any timeline shenanigans.

I really do think DC being scared to age up Tim, Dick, and Bruce makes Damian's existence look implausible but like. Tim should not be 17. Based on the very condensed timeline I did there, if he starts Robin at canonically 13 he should be 18 by time Damian joins. and if Damian is 14 now Tim should be 22.

Dick meanwhile was referred to as 25 in a rebirth comic which is also very implausible for all of the stuff he's been through. IIRC NTT confirms at least 18 months timelock... just for the first 40-something issues.

Anyway I hope this was informative WRT timeline stuff @jackdoe

EDIT wait i forgot that Azrael comics mean time would have had to happen between end of knightfall and start of NML even w/ the condensed stuff... b/c azrael has to be depressed and homeless, then he has to start his new life in gotham, lose his powers, get his powers back, start a new life out of gotham...

Is Mara bar Serapion’s Letter a Forgery?

Eli Kittim

The letter has been claimed to include no

Christian themes.

— Wiki

Mara bar Serapion was a stoic philosopher. He is noted for a lengthy letter that he wrote to his son. The letter was composed in Syriac, written sometime between 73 AD and the 3rd century. Many Christian apologists have suggested that Mara bar Serapion is alluding to Jesus Christ in this letter. But there are several problems with that theory.

First, a nonChristian like Mara bar Serapion would never have referred to Jesus as a “king.” Only dedicated and reborn Christians refer to Jesus as their Lord of lords and kings of Kings, not pagans.

Second, Jesus was not known as a “king.” In fact, according to Bruce Chilton and Craig A. Evans (“Studying the Historical Jesus,” pp. 455–457), “the term ‘king of the Jews’ has never been seen in the Christian literature of antiquity as a title for Jesus.”

Third, Jesus was not known as a “wise king.” The only Jew known to be a “wise king” was King Solomon, who was in fact a *king,* and whose *wisdom* was known throughout the ancient world. What is more, King Solomon is well known for being the author of many books of *wisdom* in the Bible.

Fourth, Mara bar Serapion does not even mention the terms “Jesus” or “Christ.” And when referring to famous heroic philosophers who died, and what happened after their death, he never mentions Jesus’ resurrection. Even if he didn’t believe it, he would have, at least, mentioned the *rumor* of Jesus being raised from the dead. The fact that he doesn’t mention it at all means that he’s not talking about Jesus:

[Robert E.] Van Voorst adds two factors

that indicate Mara was not a Christian, the

first being his failure to mention the terms

Jesus or Christ. The second factor (also

supported by Chilton and Evans) is that

Mara's statement that Jesus lives on based

on the wisdom of his teachings, in contrast

to the Christian concept that Jesus

continues to live through his resurrection,

indicates that he was not a Christian.

— Wiki

Fifth, the language of the document suggests that Mara bar Serapion is referring to an actual king who enacted new laws and established new practices. For example, Jewish tradition ascribes ritual hand washing and eruvin to King Solomon, who also served as a Judge (e.g. the “Judgment of Solomon”). He was also responsible for building the first temple, and for instituting new laws of how the temple services would run:

Nay, Socrates did ‘not’ die, because of

Plato; nor yet Pythagoras, because of the

statue of Hera; nor yet the Wise King,

because of the new laws which he enacted.

— Wiki

Sixth, there’s something very odd about the reference to the Jews in this letter. This is quite a long letter, which is based entirely on Greek philosophy. Scholars are in agreement that Mara bar Serapion was a Stoic philosopher and a pagan. As a rule, Stoic philosophers held Jewish teachings in contempt, and so they would never have placed them on a par with the teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Pythagoras. We know this from the apostle Paul who was scoffed at when preaching to stoic philosophers in Athens (Acts 17:15-34). The addition of the “Jewish” element, therefore, reads like a non sequitur, like a strange interpolation that doesn’t belong there… It sounds as if someone added it at a later time. And it seems as if the author (or editor?) got things wrong. Pythagoras was not burned, and King Solomon was not killed. And the expulsion of the Jews might be a reference to the deportation of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BC, or to that of Judah in 586 BC:

The letter refers to the unjust treatment of

‘three wise men’: the murder of Socrates,

the burning of Pythagoras, and the

execution of ‘the wise king’ of the Jews.

— Wiki

Now that I have offered my critique, let’s actually read that portion of the letter that apologists have employed time after time as evidence for the historicity of Jesus. Do you think that this pericope constitutes strong evidence for the existence of Jesus? Hardly! Not by a long shot:

For what benefit did the Athenians obtain

by putting Socrates to death, seeing that

they received as retribution for it famine and

pestilence?  Or the people of Samos by the

burning of Pythagoras, seeing that in one

hour the whole of their country was covered

with sand?  Or the Jews by the murder of

their Wise King, seeing that from that very

time their kingdom was driven away from

them?  For with justice did God grant a

recompense to the wisdom of all three of

them.  For the Athenians died by famine;

and the people of Samos were covered by

the sea without remedy; and the Jews,

brought to desolation and expelled from

their kingdom, are driven away into every

land.  Nay, Socrates did “not” die, because

of Plato; nor yet Pythagoras, because of the

statue of Hera; nor yet the Wise King,

because of the new laws which he enacted.

Die Hard 2, repülős szemmel

Minap feldobtam a Twitterre egy rövidet a PAPI fények-ről, amik segítenek a vizuális megközelítésben. Hamar elterelődött a téma a preciziós leszállítórendszerek felé (ILS), mígnem fel nem merült, hogy elemezzük a Die Hard 2 mozit repülős szemmel.

Legyen hát!

"Valahogy" megszakítjuk a kommunikációt az irányítás és a gépek között, szerencsétlenek maradnak odafenn holdingolni, fogy az üzemanyag, jajaj. Hogyan lehetne ezt megtenni? Zavarjuk az összes frekvenciát és kész, katonáknak van rá cuccuk. A filmben nem ezt a módszert használták - hiszen beméred a zavarót, Bruce odamegy, stáblista.

Az irányítást kellett elhallgattatni. Ez már keményebb dió. A repülésben minden redundáns, különösen a rádiók. Több rádiós telephely üzemel általában, minden telephelyen minden ott telepített frekvenciához egy main és standby rádióval, minden telephelyhez saját generátorral. A telephelyeket - hacsak nem valami huszadrangú adócskáról van szó - redundáns adatkapcsolatokon érjük el, redundáns hálózati eszközökön. A vonalak georedundánsak, azaz nem lehet ugyanazon a nyomvonalon a fő és a tartalék (Working és Protecting ág). A legjobb, ha még a szolgáltató sem egyezik meg. Ha országon belül vagyunk, akkor az egyik ág lehet optika, a másik pedig mikrohullám. Egy telephely többé-kevésbé képes lefedni az országot, így ha egy kiesik, legalább még egy tud szolgáltatni.

Tehát nem piszkáljuk a telephelyeket, mert nem lesz belőle film.

Menjünk tovább az irányítóközpontba. Redundáns kommunikációs rendszer, redundáns áramellátás, redundáns szerverek, hálózat, klimatizálás, sőt, több helyütt még maga a központ is redundáns, a tartalékközpont a fő központtól teljesen független, a maga redundáns rendszereivel, továbbá akad néhány "last resort" rádió is. Ez utóbbiak a nevükből adódóan a legutolsó mentsvárak, ha már minden, de tényleg minden megállt, ezek akkor is mennek tovább: külön akku, külön távkezelő, külön mikrofon és hangszóró, saját kábelnyomvonal, saját antenna. Itt legfeljebb csak a Storm Shadow vagy a Kindzsal rúghatna labdába.

Tegyük fel, hogy megtörténik ez, és a teljes központ eltűnik a térképről, tartalékkal együtt. Mi fog történni?

A pilóták igen hamar realizálni fogják, hogy csend lett a frekiken, próbálkozni fognak kétszer, majd harmadjára bemondják az világszerte használt vészfrekvencián, a 121.5 Mhz-en, hogy keresik Budapestet. Ez a frekvencia minden repülőgépen és irányítói munkahelyen kötelezően ki van választva, tehát rengetegen fogják hallani az adást.

Hamarosan kiderül, hogy ott sem válaszol az irányítás. Innentől már lehet, hogy lesz némi fejetlenség, amikor mindenki egyszerre akar adni. Közben észreveszik a katonák is, hogy eltűnt a polgári központ (ők teljesen máshonnan dolgoznak), és a szomszéd irányítók is észlelik a kapcsolatok megszakadását. Mivel ők sem érnek el senkit sem az irányítás belső telefonhálózatán sem a vésztartalék vezetékesen/mobilon, ezért nem engednek gépeket felénk, hanem elkezdenek mindenkit elterelni.

A légtérben lévő gépek közben folytatják az utat, amerre eredetileg tartottak, a következő irányítóegység (a szomszéd ország/állam) meghívja őket a vészfrekvencián, és bekéri a sajátjára. Vagy a katonák veszik kezükbe a légteret, és a szomszédokkal lekoordinálva ugyanúgy a vészfrekin mindenkit átküldenek a megfelelő frekvenciára. Radarlefedettség a szomszédos országok felett is van, az irányítók képesek figyelni az elkülönítésekre. De ha nem lenne, a repülőgépeken még mindig ott a TCAS, ami végső esetben segít elkerülni egy ütközést.

A filmben várakozó gépek mit tennének? Szintén vészfrekin megpróbálják elérni a kitérő repülőterükhöz tartozó FIR-t. Ha Budapesten lennénk, akkor jó eséllyel Szlovákiát vagy Ausztriát. Ha alacsonyan vannak és ezért nem tudnak elszólni olyan messzire, akkor mindig lenne valaki, aki egyszerre hallja az adó gépet, és az irányítót is, akit keres, tehát rögtön továbbítaná az üzenetet. A holdingoló gépek lekoordinálják egymással, hogy ki, mikor lép ki a várakozásból, és így minimalizálható a konfliktus. De ugye még mindig ott a TCAS, mint utolsó védőháló.

És az elfogyó az üzemanyag? Dehogy! A repülőgépeket nem csak a célállomásig tankolják meg, hanem kapnak még elegendő üzemanyagot a kitérő repülőtérig, plusz még ~20 percnyit várakozni, plusz még ~45 percnyi végső tartalékot, és a kapitány saját elhatározása alapján tankolhat még ezen felül is. Tehát nem fog lepotyogni senki, ha várakozni kell.

Mondjunk be egy hamis légnyomásértéket, ezáltal földnek megy a repülőgép.

Meglepő módon van ebben ráció, de ebben a rendszerben is annyi safeguard van, ami nagyon minimálisra csökkenti a baleset esélyét. Persze nem nullára.

2022-ben volt egy eset Párizsban, ahol az irányító 1001 helyett 1011 millibár értéket adott a pilótáknak, így a gép kb. 80 méterrel a siklópálya alá került, rossz látási viszonyok között (eső, és a pályafények sem égtek), alig néhány méterrel a föld fölött sikerült átstartolni. Remek cikk született róla az Airbus Safety First-ben. Az Airbus máris kiadott egy szoftverfrissítést, ami bizonyos limitek között képes kiszúrni a feltehetően hibás beállítást.

Ami kivédhet egy ebből származó balesetet, az:

a pilótáknak szóló ATIS (automatikus időjárásjelentés) adásban elhangzó QNH és az irányító által adott QNH összehasonlítása. 1-2 mb változás lehet viszonylag gyorsan, de 10 már nem, hacsak nem minden frontok ősanyja rohant át percek alatt felettünk.

a rádiós magasságmérő figyelése. Ha gyanúsan alacsonyan vagyunk gyanúsan messze, akkor lehet, hogy baj van a beállított légnyomással.

Decision Altitude, az elhatározási magasság. Ha ezen a magasságon nem látjuk a pályát, vagy ránézésre is magasan/alacsonyan vagyunk akkor át kell startolni.

Az ILS használata. Az ILS nem függ a gépen beállított légnyomástól, hiszen a gép a rádiós iránysávot és siklópályát követi ebben az esetben. A példának hozott eseménynél nem ILS megközelítést használtak a pilóták.

Összefoglalva, egyedül a hibás QNH érték adásának van némi rációja a filmben, de szükségszerűen az sem vezetne balesethez, sőt, igen kicsi eséllyel lehetne belőle esemény.

FILMSZERÉSZ TOP 100 TÉVÉSOROZAT - 96. A simlis és a szende

Nekem a magyar cím is tetszik, de az angol csodás. Kimondani is: Moonlighting. És az a szép benne, hogy a sorozat is tényleg ilyen: derűs nyomozós noir, klasszikus krimi és vígjáték. Olyan jókedvű és laza, hogy az embernek még szinte csettintgetni is van kedve, miközben nézi. 

Van is mire csettintgetni: Cybill Shepherd és Bruce Willis párosa egészen remek, mintha össze lennének nőve, de közben meg a feszültség is ott van ám köztük. Csodásak mindketten. Shepherd ekkor menő színész és szexszimbólum volt, nem semmi filmekben játszott - például Scorsese-nél és Bogdanovich-nál. Willis alakításán is érezni, hogy tetszik neki a versenyhelyzet, szeretné ő is a nagypályás befutást. De nem ezt érezni rajta leginkább.

Hanem azt, hogy imádja a melóját. És zseniális humora van hozzá. Én úgy igazán a harmadik évadig szerettem, aztán megszokásból néztem. Úgy emlékszem, egy idő után már nagyon lementek blődlibe azzal a negyedik fal döntögetésével, és nem is csak olykor-olykor. És közben meg Willis mozisztár lett, hisz drágán adta az életét. De 67 részt készíthettek belőle, ami a műfajában nagyszerűnek számított. És a befejezés érdekes - azok kedvéért, akik nem látták és megnéznék, nem árulok el róla semmit.

A mai napig is fel tud vidítani ez a sorozat. Az első pár részével is akár. A szinkron meg, ugye... Básti-Dörner. 💞

I saw this in another post I can't find right now, but I'm tired of Jason being the bat that kills out of Anger, and doesn't give second chances. It only really works as a foil to Batman, the what if Batman let his Anger get the better of him Argument, but it doesn't really fit bis character.

Obviesly his Charactersation is all over the Place, but we see him giving second chances to, as an example the Jokers daughter of all People, becours he understands being in a tuff place and not knowing right from wrong all of the time. He is shown as compasionate and in some cases even pretty hopefull, but as soon as he is with Batman al of that just disipates and we are back at angry Bat that kills.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Redhood should kill, but I don't think that should be becourse he is angry or doesn't believe that people can get better, it should be becours there is a line between giving people the recourses they need to get better, and showing serialkillers mercy in the hope they actually put in the effort to get better after decades of never showing that they will. Jason of all People would know what it's like, has lived between desperate People and kriminels and knows sometimes people just don't want to change and they aren't going to.

I think we should move on from the "I'm doing what Batman won't" in under the Redhood, Jason isn't dumb he must at some point after all that have realised that Bruce just can't, he is to optimistic, he hasn't lived it like Jason has. Sure Batman sees the worst of humanity every night, but in the end he can come home to a shelterd home with people he loves. In the way that Batman is a male powerfantasy, Redhood is victims powerfantasy. He litterally came back from the dead to get revenge, please just lett him kill the Joker himself so the World can move on.
