  • Hammond didn’t pick him, the insurance company did. The company insisted on only him, likely because he was a notorious skeptic who would be able to look past the sensationalism of the dinosaurs to let them know a realistic risk assessment. The dinner scene where he and Ellie criticize Hammond is exactly why they wanted him there.

    Point being, no indication is actually given that he was smarter or more published than the others in his field, because that isn’t really what the insurance was after.

    Oh God. For anyone thinking of doing this in the future, do not play with deer. If deer get scared, they will trample you. It’s all fun and games until a 100 lb animal starts stomping your child into the ground. Even a fawn that size could cause some serious injury to that child.


  • Having the device, I already tether the wifi. But it is indeed a compatibility issue: the old kernel drivers for the chip were janky and it’s doubtful how well they even worked the time. The code is apparently such a hot mess that the people who were working on it have stopped making progress. There is now skepticism that it will ever be fully functional.
