Q: French Movie with Talking Cat and Missing Scientists

The ShekiahSo about a year and a half ago, my friend showed me this movie and it was in French. All I can remember was there there was a talking cat, and this black cloud that took people away to some fort or something. Anyways, please help me find this movie again. I've tried everything. Also, I think ther...

Q: 80s/90s zombie movie: zombie studied in a military facility fakes sleep when injected with freezing "tranqs"

Gray90s or 80s zombie movie. I distinctly remember a scene where a zombie is being observed in a secret military facility "clean room" in a random warehouse. A scientist/soldier goes in to pacify the zombie, since it's getting out of control, and shoots it with some kind of freeze charge that is s...

Q: Why does Spock want to suppress certain knowledge?

Michael StachowskyAt the end of Discovery season 2, Spock suggests during his debriefing that all knowledge of Discovery be suppressed, including that of the spore drive.

1:42 AM
good job. It never ever went into HNQ?
 
I answered it nearly two months after it was asked, in the first week that I participated. It certainly wasn't a Hot Question then, and whatever happened before my time isn't relevant (and I would have no way of knowing).
 
A reverse-LTTPS then. Well done
 
It's still a LTTPS, just with an unexpected outcome.
 
It's a LTTP, but not a LTTPS.
 
Though to be fair, it has been on the homepage at least 13 times over the past 1.5 years, plus my answer was featured in a Meta post and then featured with a bounty.
@Jenayah Good way of putting it.

@Alex oh, that thing that always got bumped?
 
@Jenayah You're thinking of this?
Sep 30 '18 at 21:12, by Alex
Just the other day I saw a question on Mi Yodeya that was bumped for the 18th time, and I had already answered it.
 
yeah
but it was odd
as it's only bumped if no upvoted answers
it's not the same then, so it makes sense
 
Yeah, that was something else. My answer there has a score of 1.

Q: Why do the Avengers struggle so much against Thanos in "Endgame", when they managed to resist him in "Infinity War" in a supposedly worse situation?

Sarah AminiWhen Thanos fights the Avengers in Infinity War, he always has the Power Stone because that's the first he collected. So he has been fighting with increased power, yet some of the Avengers were able to resist him. However, in Endgame​ the same people are fighting him all at once, but can barely...

 
@Jenayah thanks for the edit
 
You're welcome
@Stormblessed ah! You missed an off-topic one earlier with some shots fired in the comments. Basically someone asked your usual off-topic programming question, and received the generic "welcome to meta, this is off-topic, look at the sites blah blah blah" comment.
To which the guy responded something along the lines of "thanks, too bad people aren't helping in any kind and just fire downvotes"
 
Special message if code is changed, interestingly
 
And to which another guy (not quoting names, but not a noob on SE...) Replied "well, too bad people don't read the "how/what to ask" widget when writing a question."
 
3:11 AM

What do you mean?

You have privileges to edit without needing review now. So if someone makes a useful edit, but there's a typo or a poor word choice you can fix it as part of the same operation.
 
Just wait until you hit 10,000 and can add/remove/change tags without even going to the edit page. It's too much fun.
 
Ah, but can you add a new tag and create it and populate it with a tag excerpt in a single operation?
If not then I'm still not impressed. :)
 
Two out of three.
 
Meatloaf says that ain't bad.
 
I'm about to post another question which I imagine will be unpopular.
 
3:32 AM
Yay! puts on popcorn
Or was that more of a "cry for help" kind of a statement, and you want us to ask you to talk about it?
@Alex, why do you think other people won't like your question?
 
@DavidW In my experience, people don't seem to like my Harry Potter questions that are overly technical.
 
If I may generalize slightly, I would say that it's not so much that people don't like those questions because they're from you. People don't like those questions because people don't like to be made to think.
So you're saying "look at this brilliant idea" and people are getting "words, words, words, nah, don't care."
 
@DavidW Oh, I wasn't insinuating that people are unfairly targeting me. Just that the prevailing view seems to be something like "enjoy the story and stop getting bogged down in the unimportant technicalities".
 
Well, yeah.
Back when I cared about Star Wars, I was only really able to enjoy it by not thinking too hard about it.
Then when they started all the pseudo-scientific bafflegab in the menacing phantom thingy they ruined that by putting all the crappy justifications into the story where I couldn't just ignore them anymore.
That's why there are only, and will only be, 2 1/2 Star Wars movies.
 
Which one's the 1/2?
 
3:41 AM
The half of RoTJ that doesn't involve speeder bikes, forest, shield generators and E**ks.
Imagine if the 3rd HP movie built to a confrontation with Voldemort and then it turned out he had a kinky schoolgirl fetish and the heroes were able to honeypot him and get the locations of all of his horcruxes out of him in the last 20 minutes of the movie.

Ankit SharmaIn most of the MCU films, we get to see credit scenes (from around 1 to 3). But in Avengers: Endgame there was no mid/end credit scene, just a clinking sound. So did they ever said anything officially to address why they avoided an end credits​ scene? I mean it's not the end of MCU and at-least S...

I mean if you have more input to provide the OP or rephrase what I said... I do want to try and understand but I'm drawing a complete blank :/

Though I don't know anything about the specifics, not having seen either of the two movies mentioned or any of the related ones.
 
> I strenuously object to this close vote!
 
Yeah, but you guys seem to speak the same language. I mean you're progressively becoming our go-to expert on understanding unclear stuff for us, and then trying to reword it.
The starboard is currently comprised of two pinned messages, and three starred messages about you dissecting overly complicated stuff.
If that's not the start of an urban legend, I don't know what is.
 
He seems to be asking how the 1/14 million chance became actualized. Either it was a perfectly random coincidence, or there was a specific set of actions that had to be taken. He seems to be leaning towards the latter, and is therefore wondering about the specific set of actions necessary to be taken. So I think the actual question is something like "what is it about that specific set of actions that made it the correct way to reach the 1/14 million chance?"
 
Hmmmm. I guess we circle back to that comment...
@ThePopMachine He needs to do... what he's shown doing, I guess. Give the Time Stone, ensure Tony sacrifices himself, but that's what you said in your question already. Does he have to ensure the position of every living being in the galaxy? Does he have mandatory input? I still don't get it, he's seen 14 million and remembered the one that wins, and will do whatever it takes to make sure that one happens...? — Jenayah 23 mins ago

Complaints about spoilers on this site seem relatively rare and largely reasonable.
 
@NapoleonWilson so DVing based on formatting? :D
 
5:17 PM
So instead of reading the questions to see that there are spoilers to downvote because you got spoiled, why not just not read the questions?
 
Reasonable as in, they have a point and the problem could be resolved by a quick edit. Although of course they could also have made or suggested that edit themselves.
 
@Randal'Thor recently things have been better but I saw a good one the other day if someone complaining about spoilers on the answer

@Jenayah I don't think it counts as an urban legend if you deliberately say things to make it an urban legend.

@NapoleonWilson If you get one at first, you might wait a quarter second for a second quarter.
Especially if it's April, May, or June.
 
@Alex yeah, especially the Mi Yodeya ones.
 
@Jenayah I knew it!
 
@Jenayah Mi Jeneya?
 
They're still more understandable than some of your meta posts.
 
I'd like to think that most of my Mi Yodeya posts are relatively understandable.
At least compared to other posts on the site.
 
5:28 PM
You'd probably like to think that about your SciFi posts, too. ;-)
 
@Alex Why can't people derstand them?
 
Oh boy, I just had a vision of terror. Alex's posts on Mi Yodeya Meta.
 
@NapoleonWilson Nah, there I know that people deliberately misunderstand them.
@Jenayah Surprisingly, those are pretty normal.
 
@Alex Heh!
 
5:30 PM
Imagine Alex arguing over POB/dupe stuff, but with Hebrew characters added to the mix.

A: Closing as duplicate of broader post

Alex I think that if question B is accused of being a duplicate of question A, and there is at least one answer that is a valid answer to question A that would not be a valid answer to question B, then question B is not a duplicate of question A. I think it is exactly the reverse. If there is at ...

 
(<pssst> there might not be such a big need for dupe metas on other sites.)

@Alex some people have fanclubs. Alex has a haterclub.
 
@Jenayah Oddly enough, the only times it's come up on Mi Yodeya Meta, I've argued in favor of Primarily Opinion Based and in favor of Duplicate.
 
@Randal'Thor hush you
 
5:32 PM
@Jenayah ?
 
@Randal'Thor No Hebrew characters there, though.
 
@Alex Add some.
Just to keep Jodeyah happy.
 
that first line is precisely the kind of brain knot I avoid these days :D
 
@Jenayah I had one Meta post where the title was entirely in Hebrew, but I eventually changed it.
@Randal'Thor So then you could tell me that you're surprised that I'm surprised that you unsurprisingly can't understand my surprisingly straightforward post?
 
How do we know Snape is Jewish?
Because *he brews* potions.

Reference:
in The Reading Room, yesterday, by Rand al'Thor
@Alex I have no particular interest in learning about it. It's just always strange to me that Mi Yodeya people seem surprised by the claims that most of the site is incomprehensible to the average passerby.
 
@Alex they are?
Well I mean technically that was replying to Rand
 
@Jenayah Note that the first line is just a quote from the question.
 
@Alex oh because there are several of you now?!
It looks like a picture from a pirated version of the movie... — Chris 8 mins ago
 
Doesn't that apply to a lot of topics, though? A database transaction layer isn't particularly more comprehensible because it's comprised of English words.
 
@Jenayah How so?
 
5:37 PM
^ Too bad "Hawkeye" is already taken as a nickname.
@Alex people using the same brian-knotting language
 
If you're down to your thorax in thoras, it's natural some infidel isn't going to make too much sense of your discussions.
 
@Jenayah MAybe that means it;s normal language.
 
@Jenayah Poor Brian ...
 
ah, crap
@Alex mmmmmmh.
 
@NapoleonWilson Thoras?
Google is telling me it's a place in France.
 
5:39 PM
Torahs maybe?
 
@Randal'Thor Isn't that what they call their bible thingy?
 
@Jenayah Ah yeah, that makes sense.
 
@Jenayah Oh, crap. But that destroys my thorax wordplay.
 
I appreciated the wordplay even if the word wasn't quite right :-)
 
Some people pronounce it thora.
 
5:40 PM
Or some new female version of Thor. But then having your thorax in Thoras is kind of... you know what? I'll stop right here.
 
yesterday, by Alex
@Jenayah Look at you with the lingo.
 
@Alex it's way less jargon than PTIJ
 
Still...
 
@Jenayah When they reboot the entire MCU with an all-female cast in 3 years, yes.
 
5:42 PM
AAAAAW
 
AAAAAH!
 
BBBBBB?
 
BRB, yes.
 
D&D
 
5:43 PM
 
@Jenayah Nah, @Alex doesn't understand that.
 
Combo breaker!
 
@Randal'Thor ah, that Alex'll know :)
 
@Jenayah Yeah, you've referenced it a couple of times.
 
@Mithrandir what about C++?
 
5:45 PM
@Jenayah Here's a Meta post you'll probably (dis)like:

Q: Explaining the difference between an answer and a comment

Alex(It may be useful to read the comments to this answer before reading my question.) Often times new users post answers when the content is really just a comment. This is understandable, as new users do not have the 50 reputation necessary to comment on someone's question and if they have somethin...

 
the heck does that have to do with C++
 
@Mithrandir You think I already forgot?
@Jenayah Nothing. It's noting that contrary to what I said before, I may actually have a Mi Yodeya Meta post of the type that makes you cringe.
 
oh
good thing I already closed the tab then
 
Ah, so you follow my advice.
 
Suspicious that the only thing that's a link is a company...

@Jenayah Among all the acronyms someone tried to sneak in spam for a British telecommunications company. ;-)
 
oh
Well, at least it wasn't advertising British food.
What's the flag for British food? Spam, or Rude?
 
The former of course. It's literally British food!
 
eh! True.
 
@Jenayah Someone really doesn't like British food here...
 
5:53 PM
I really enjoyed British breakfasts when I was there, though.
 
@Alex you think?
 
The sausage was a little...squishy? But the beans, the egg, the fried tomato, delicious!
 
@Jenayah Jenayah = Fleur.

Q: What YouTubers talk about older sci-fi & fantasy?

RobI'm just wondering which booktubers talk about older sci-fi and fantasy.

 
how about not calling each other names :P
 
5:57 PM
@Marvin Putting the "fan info" scope policies to the test, eh?
 
Well you're both French girls criticizing British food.
And her French accent ruined my CTRL F
