I recently saw Project Hail Mary. Great movie, go see it. Be warned, spoilers below.

>!The core tension in the movie, as revealed fully by the end, is that Dr. Grace had to make a decision: sacrifice his life to save the planet. !<

>!Let's assume the "math" here is cut and dry: Dr. Grace dies, the planet lives. Dr. Grace lives, the planet dies.!<

>!What would an Orthodox Jew's approach to this situation be? Chas V'Shalom none of us are ever in a situation remotely resembling this, but just hypothetically, how would an observant Dr. Grace handle this situation? Pikuach Nefesh doesn't apply when saving a life requires committing one of the big three sins (avodah zarah, giluy arayot, shfikhut damim), but how does that apply in this situation?!<

>!I'm inclined to believe that the halakha would say that Dr. Grace shouldn't sacrifice his own life, because there is an active vs. passive distinction (i.e. Dr. Grace is not actively the cause of the threat to the planet), but I struggle to understand how the halakha can take that perspective.!<

Looking to buy a cheap, barebones, most basic version of the bigme phone. Don't need color, don't need the fastest processor. Honestly looking for an eReader with phone capability, email, and basic internet. Where can I find? Is anyone here selling?

EDIT: I should add, I am worried about the lack of 5G on the Hibreak standard and Hibreak S. I'd love to hear from people's personal experiences, if that is a valid concern or not.

Does anyone here live in Stamford? What's it like there? Potentially considering a move. Young couple, no kids, one working in Stamford the other is an online student who will be working in the city.

Hi all,

Writing on behalf of my fiancee who is looking into the online BFA in Interior Architecture. I'm hoping someone can share their thoughts!

How is the program? Do you feel that it sets you up well for a career in Int. Design? What's the word on accreditation? Do you feel that the class projects themselves give you a strong portfolio, or do you have to do outside projects?
