    Aliens (1986)

    pulse rifle - ve skutecnosti se jedna o klasicky thompson .45 znamejsi jako tommy gun. dostal zaver z remingtonu a byl obalen plasty z brokovnice spas 12.

    smart gun - to je maskovana nemecka mg42. je to krasne videt na podavaci naboju v zadni casti zbrane.

    In 1995 Nvidia failed to deliver the chip Sega paid for.

    Jensen Huang flew to Tokyo, admitted he picked the wrong architecture, and asked Sega to convert the $5M owed into equity.

    He told them the money would probably be lost. Sega said yes anyway.

    That $5M funded the RIVA 128. Yesterday Huang went back to the same Akihabara arcade to thank Irimajiri in person, 30 years later.

    Nvidia survives, goes public. Sega sells early.

    Held to today, that stake would be worth about $1 trillion.

    DURDIN: Můžeme pokračovat, norština má podobně písmeno å, které mimo jiné může znamenat potok nebo říčka, a také se tak jmenuje několik obcí v Norsku, nejznámější je nejspíš ta na úplném západním cípu Lofot

    Edam was tested by MythBusters in episode 128 for its putative suitability as cannon ammunition against a ship's sail, but it bounced off the sail without damaging it.

    JON: když už jsi zmínil to IJ, tak Švédi zase mají písmeno ö, které zároveň může znamenat slovo ostrov. A taky, že se to tak i používalo, takže třeba takový ostrov Värmdö, znamená teplý ostrov, případně známější Öland by se dal přeložit jako ostrovní země.
    Někdy musím zapátrat po původu toho slova, jelikož si to vždycky představím jako koverzaci dvou švédů "co je to tam v dálce?" a druhý švéd se zamýšlí a u toho si bručí "eeooo..." , a první švéd "Ö !"

    JON: a kdyz uz jsem se v tom vrtal, tak holandstina ma pismeno IJ,ij https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJ_(digraph) (podobne jako my mame Ch - jen na tom bazirujou spis typograficky - treba pro abecedni razeni se to vetsinou povazuje za i j), akorat narozdil od naseho Ch, kdyz to ma byt velke pismeno, tak jsou velka obe - IJsselmeer.

    To je samo o sobe zajimavy - taky je zajimavy, ze je to (historicky) zamenitelny s "y" (a s ÿ) a to zase s "i" - u vlastnich jmen se casto z marketingovych a jinych duvodu dela:
    Snijder -> Snyder
    Feijenoord -> Feyenoord
    Heijn -> Heyn -> Hein

    A to jeste neni vsechno. Narozdil od ceskeho Ch je IJ i kompletni slovo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJ_(Amsterdam) a znamena to zhruba "voda".

    Coz vede k tomu, ze existuje mala ricka IJe (Ye, Ie nebo jen E) https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJe na ktere vyrostlo mesto IJe-dam, dnes Edam a odtamtud mame eidam (a vyslovujeme to bliz originalu, nez vetsina sveta).

    A jak jste samozrejme cely zivot tusili, syr BabyBel (original) - je eidam (ctyricitka) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babybel.

    SALVATOR: Pravdepodobne z Amstelredam - "poctive vypsano" amstelska prehrada (me by do ucha lip lezlo Amsteler dam - ale to uz muze byt ovlivneno moderni nemcinou) oproti Amstel prehrada (holandstina sklonuje, zejo).
    viz nadpis nad legendou na tehle mape:

    Taky srovnej s Rotterdam (reka se jmenuje Rotte).

    When Sigourney Weaver was sent the script of "Aliens" (1986), she had no idea that a sequel was being made for "Alien" (1979) as the studio didn't inform her. After reading the script, Weaver thought it was "Magnificent" and "The Greatest script" she had ever read. She was blown away by the humour, humanity and action. Cameron was initially afraid to meet Weaver as he feared she would be as stern and intimidating as her Ripley character. After their meeting he was relieved. He said, “She was just this wonderful person, and I was so relieved that she saw some value in the script and where I was proposing to take the character.” Cameron was open to some of the changes to the script mentioned by Weaver.

    However, on the first day of the shoot, there was one hiccup. The shoot was in England and the sets were built. When Weaver arrived, she told Cameron that she was Anti-Gun advocate and she wasn't touching a gun. Cameron asked her, "Did you read the script?". She replied, "I read it. I understood there were guns in it, I just didn’t think Ripley had to pick up a gun except for a flamethrower.”

    Realizing that the script would require a major rewrite if he couldn’t convince Weaver to use the machine gun, Cameron took Weaver behind the studio and had her fire off the weapon a few times. Cameron said, “I’ll never forget her blasting away with this thing. And then there was this kind of sly look over to me, like ‘This is fun.'”. Weaver said, “It just shows how addictive guns are." while noting that she felt ashamed of the pleasure she took in shooting the rounds.
