| Topic | I literally cannot make Tenet make sense in my mind SPOILERS |
| tyder21 12/17/20 4:41:26 PM #24 | Okay, those last couple posts actually makes a lot of sense to me. What's interesting to me is that this "what's happened happened" framework from the movie seems to imply that no matter what they do, a forward-moving person (A) could not physically keep an inverted-person (B) from making it to a turnstile (from A's perspective). If A kills B, then from A's perspective they would stumble across B's dead body which would then be miraculously revived from A's (reverse???*) shooting gun. B would then proceed to walk backward until, with certainty, eventually enter a turnstile disappearing forever. Wild. I kinda want to watch this movie at reduced speed. * EDIT NOTE: Does it matter if A shoots B with a reversed bullet vs a normal bullet? Does the situation change? Is one of these impossible? Just when I think I get it, my brain stumbles across a question I can't answer. --- |

| tyder21 12/17/20 1:12:55 PM #18 | Forceful_Dragon posted... Phone sits on floor in the cave until it reaches 3000 BC and gets discovered by Cave man B? But how can that work? We know the phone must never get picked up or moved from its position at that point because we know that from the phones perspective it was motionless for 5000 years. Or is it a situation where the cave man doesn't discover the phone where modern man dropped it, but rather somewhere nearby? And cave man discovers that when he "anti-kicks" in the direction of the phone or causes it to fly towards him? And so he anti-kicks the phone around the cave for a bit until it eventually rests where modern man left it? And from the phones perspective it spent 5000 years motionless, then it got kicked around for a bit and then spent more time in the location where the cave man found it, though from the phones perspective that's where the cave man "left" it when it was done kicking it about.This logic is along similar lines to where I keep getting tripped up and where the movie might be failing? To take an example from the movie: say a war in the year 2100 blows a gear off a machine and it lands somewhere obscure. Now this gear sits somewhere, undiscovered, until 2020 where it is picked up by a modern-day scientist. This scientist then places said gear into a drawer in some lab. Scientist continues to live their life with the reversed gear now stored away in a drawer. But how is this possible? When the gear was making its trip backwards through time, it was still undiscovered until 2020 and not in a drawer. In the movie they clearly show a drawer full of reversed objects from a future war. Is this not a possible scenario? --- |

| tyder21 12/17/20 10:18:11 AM #12 | Watched it last night - I had a fine time understanding the overall macro-level story and I think I get the turnstile-thing. But I was incredibly confused and distracted during the individual action set pieces trying to comprehend what was happening. In general it's really hard for me to wrap my head around a forwards person fighting an inverted person. Not to mention a normal person fighting using an inverted object against another normal and/or inverted person. I'm really not convinced the movie gets little micro-level details like that right, but I can't comprehend it far enough to criticize concretely. --- |

| Topic | Student Loans |
| tyder21 12/15/20 10:00:14 PM #9 | I'd expect another extension of the forbearance announced around inauguration. Not holding my breath for any loan forgiveness, but it's not impossible I guess. The issue with a one-time forgiveness is that it doesn't actually solve the long-term problem and loans will start piling-up again as soon as the next wave of students enter colleges. My strategy: Over this year I've amassed into my savings account the amount needed to pay off my remaining balance. Even if forbearance doesn't get extended and loan payments resume Feb 1, I'll probably hold-back and pay the minimum for a few months to see if the new administration does anything regarding forgiveness. Few extra months of interest won't kill me. --- |

| tyder21 10/29/20 7:28:52 PM #9 | Definitely feel free to replace that PSU - old PSUs freak me out, I don't like to use them past warranty. Plus, yours isn't that great to begin with. Here's a helpful link for PSU info: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/ As other people have pointed out, when you do get around to a rebuild, you're likely looking at replacing everything except for the hard drive (although newer NVMe M.2's are nice for fewer cables and faster transfer speeds) and the GPU (yours is probably fine if you're sticking with 1080p60). --- |
