The crowd you see in the first pic, to the left of the stage, is symmetric to the other side, just not shown in the pictures I put in the post. The crowd behind the sight line of the camera is the big question. But if you go by normal venue layouts and make an educated guess based off the width you can see, I would put it at maybe 3x deeper then the stage, plus wings. So maybe 200? No more than 300. So, like I said it would be about a large club or medium rock lounge. Think slightly smaller than your standard House of Blues venue.

This is not from the TP USA halftime show. Easily verifiable not. The real halftime show pictures look like this.

You can see the venue isn't that deep on the sides though. And all the pictures are intentionally not showing the crowd (180 view from pictures). The venue isn't that big. A large club or mid size rock lounge is about the same size. Still laughable, but we don't need to miss-attribute pictures and lie about their context.

I have a family member who is CHP. He said if they ever see LAPD pull someone over on the highway they will normally join, not because of a turf issue, and not to give backup (though that is the answer they give). They actually do it to watch the LAPD. And wow does he have some stories of how their tune changed the second he showed up to "assist".

Grocery store basil normally has about 3 plants (like the other person is saying). For best success, buy the SMALLEST plans, and un pot them when you get home. Shake them apart, but be carefull with the roots. A few broken minor roots is OK, but try not to break the major roots. Then plant them separately into their own pots. When watering, do not water from the top. Get a pot with multiple drain hole at the bottom edges (not the singular center hole kind) and place it in a watering saucer. Fill the saucer and let the soil wick up the water. This makes it easy to see when it needs water and makes it basically impossible to over or under water, just keep the saucer fill. Try to keep the plants in a warm and humid place if possible.

If you do it right, it ends up being easier to maintain and grows larger plants. If you want to look into how to grow the biggest basil plants then look into the pruning techniques to encourage growth. I have grown some monster basil bushes and they all started from grocery store plants unless I wanted a specific type.

The indy movie 'Turbo Kid' had bikes. Would recommend a watch.

I would have started with a brewery and called it 'bio-brews' but he chose grade school insult treatment: "Oh YeAh?! What if I take my poo and push it up your butt!"

To each their own.

Not sure. I have typically just done a Google search and refound the link under the same domain but with a different sub routing.

I have a wiki editor account primarily for updating links on pages. I have also done a handful of minor edits on some obscure pages in my field, but primarily use it to update links and references. Link rot is the worst and I wish more people would help out with it.

An encyclopedia is not a source. I don't think you fully grasp what any academic paper's source is. It must be a first-hand account or direct evidence. It is the research paper you mention, not the wiki article the paper was mentioned on. The problem isn't teachers afraid of technology. You can't use print versions of encyclopedia Britannica as a source either. Part of education is also knowing how follow academic rigor. Remembering and understanding are only the first two steps in the process. Applying (writing the paper) is the third step. But if you fail to understand primary sources and how to conduct academic research, then you will never be able to truly progress beyond that (leading to: analyze, evaluate, and create)

I don't think anyone is claiming the avatar franchise is some high brow cinema or calling it modern 'film'. It is a flashy blockbuster movie. Enjoy it for what it is. Or not. But don't put it up on some high pedestal just to knock it down when it was never up there. I'm so sick of the avatar bashing. If you don't like it, that's great, move on. Just like you would do for any other movie. I don't get the fixation on bashing avatar over any other movie people don't like.

I used to have a worm composting bin on my condo balcony and loved it. Then a shitty texas summer happened and I just couldn't keep the Temps low enough on them (added shade over the bin, ice cubes before leaving for the day, increased humidity in the bin...).

I miss it. The plants miss it. I can't wait to start it back up again.
