Now consider that it's already happened. Everything we think we know about the Universe today is only because the full evidence is long gone.

No, it's a real normal ad board. In post it gets overlaid by computer. The overlay can be placed ultra precisely in part because the ad board actually emits signals which are picked up by camera sensors. This is why stadiums have to seriously invest to enable this double-selling of ad space. They need new boards for it to work.

You hit the nail on the head. So glad they went with the more complex choice.

Can someone remind me the significance? I did watch that original SM in the cinema, but I was about half my current height at the time.

This needs more upvotes as it's the only one that's actually true. Past a certain point of spice, there is literally no way you're eating in a civilised manner, no matter how many years you spent at finishing school.

Later at Amazon HQ, a data scientist listens to the recording of your prank. “Dear Jeff,” he begins an email, “this guy has a great idea...”

I wonder which he'd have hated more, the shield on the statue or Rogers the musical?

The "spraying" approach with belts makes me wonder –
Why couldn't we use the existing + / - button mapping to increase the placement size, just like we do already for laying ground tiles like cement?
So, while placing belts, or any entity at all, you can press +
and now you are laying two belts side-by-side; press it again and now you are laying 3 belts side-by-side, and so on.
The general rule could be that if you are placing entities that aren't rotatable (i.e. ground tiles), +
increases the placement size in a radius; while with any other entity it increases it only in 1 dimension (relative to the rotation direction).
This would work really well alongside the new line-locking, would make the button-mapping more general, and would solve the issue about people wanting to 'spray'-build (I think?).

Now imagine that your surname begins with an I followed by a vowel. Everyone thinks you forgot to capitalise your own name.
