Poltergeist messed me up for real! I was way too young, thought it’d be just some ghostly fun— but nah,. That clown scene alone had me checking under my bed for years, and don’t even get me started on that creepy TV static. I legit couldn’t sleep right for days. That movie had me regretting every second, but I couldn’t look away!

 

Does anyone have any alternatives to Skopenow that they can vouch for?

I have mixed feelings about it given the cost per search/report and the trial run I did revealed some missing or mixed up information.

I know with OSINT that's bound to happen, and it still found a lot that I didn't, but I've read mixed things about the company and their product recently.

If anyone has anything that I can look into, please let me know! My primary use would be for social media investigations.

Looking for something that can automate the process of social investigations/streamline it for my team, but also with accurate information.

Cost isn't a massive concern so long as the information is solid and the company is reputable/ethical.

 

The Thing from John Carpenter’s classic would be straight-up ruined with CGI! The practical effects in that movie were next level—like, all those gross transformations and body horror moments were so unsettling ‘cause they felt real, you know? If they tried to redo all that with CGI, it’d just look like some video game cutscene. The slimy, gory creepiness of the original would be gone, and that’s what made it so terrifying in the first place. Sometimes the old-school effects hit way harder than digital stuff ever could!

 

I recently stumbled upon a video discussing how many people feel uncomfortable or even anxious at the thought of dining alone in a restaurant. The idea seemed to be that sitting by yourself in a public place, surrounded by groups or couples, could trigger feelings of self-consciousness or awkwardness. I found it interesting and wondered if this is a common experience. Do a lot of people really get freaked out by the idea of eating alone in a restaurant? Have you ever felt this way, or do you think it’s perfectly fine to enjoy a meal by yourself?

 

Chivalry has long been a topic of debate. Some argue it's an outdated concept that reinforces gender stereotypes, while others believe it’s a timeless display of respect and kindness. In a world striving for equality, where do we draw the line between traditional gestures and modern values?

Have we lost the essence of chivalry, or has it simply transformed into something different? Is it still important for men to hold doors open, pay for dates, or offer their coats? Or do those actions come off as patronizing?

I want to hear your opinions! Do you see chivalry as an essential part of relationships today, or do you think it’s time to move on from those old norms?

 

What's your top five 2024 horror movies? Im really interested what others will say. It keeps changing but As of right now it's Abigail 2024, The First Omen 2024, Trap 2024, Smile 2 2024. And finally would say Speak No evil 2024

 

We’ve all had those rare moments when things fall perfectly into place—whether it’s stumbling upon an opportunity, witnessing something amazing, or avoiding disaster by pure chance. What’s a memorable time when you found yourself exactly where you needed to be, right when it mattered most?

 

If someone offered to erase your memories of the spoilers, the reveals, the twists, etc. Would you do it so you could watch them all again for the first time? Experience the reveal of Ghostface, Norman Bates, Pamela Voorhees, Brahms, Esther, Jigsaw, Malcolm Crowe, etc. for the first time and get to relive the experience of figuring it all out.

I would do this in a heartbeat. I never really got the chance to truly have a "first experience" with many of these movies, either because I was too young when I saw them (I was 2 when I saw Elm Street and like 4 when i saw Scream) or because I had them spoiled due to their age (who didn't know about Norman Bates before seeing Psycho)

 

Kind of a strange sentence so I’ll explain further. Imagine you have a baseball that you toss in an arc. At any point you can activate the power to teleport. The location you arrive at will be one where the ball will strike your palm in the next fraction of a second. Hence making you “catch” it.

The power cannot activate if the ball strikes a solid surface, or if the space you are teleporting to is not empty.

Additionally, the ball must be propelled by your hand directly. Balls hit with bats or rackets do not count.

The ball itself must be at least 2.5 grams and have a density of at least 0.08 g/cm^3. That’s roughly the measurements of a pingpong ball, for reference.

“Ball” here does not mean perfect sphere, only a roughly spherical object. A lemon would count, but not a frisbee, for example.

Finally, no matter your orientation when you begin the teleportation, you will always end it standing upright. That is taken into account when determining if there is enough empty space to teleport.

Thanks for the response! Every bit of info helps, so no worries if it's not exactly what I'm looking for. HVAC design guides on YouTube might actually be a good starting point for understanding some practical design principles. I hadn't considered that angle before.

And yeah, I totally get what you mean about CFD being a minefield of spam and sales pitches. It’s frustrating trying to wade through all that just to find some solid advice.

Appreciate the tip—I'll check out those HVAC guides and see if I can apply any of their insights to my project. If you come across any other resources or have more suggestions, feel free to share!
