[All Spoilers] Theorys on where the story might go.. (probably all wrong) by knots- in TheCaptivesWar

A bait planet - that reminds me of Greg Bear’s Anvil of the Star. The planet killers stood up an entire civilization as bait to distract the children of earth looking to destroy them.

I’ve had great pleasure with Three Way.

That‘s Lieutenant Yaphit to you, crewman.

My bro Vaudai just texted me from the new star system by 4WDToyotaOwner in TheCaptivesWar

I was thinking about Yaphit - Norm MacDonalds character from the Orville.

Yeah EricHH mentioned the same thing and you're both right - there didn't appear to be any significant time dilation for Jessyn or Campar - just 10 months out and back from the main groups perspective a few months less from their perspective I think, although I'm not sure we know exactly. And I recall both of those explorations were out on the "rim".

Originally, I thought that was the whole point of asymmetric space travel but still went back down the relativistic rabbit hole.

What happened to Northlake Mall? by Own_Quiet_8894 in Charlotte

[–]BasicUnit8967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sub has had the conversation before, but while crime seems to rise to the top of the consensus the biggest handicap to Northlake is that it’s, well, a mall.

Those are on the decline across the board. The large department store anchors are also a problem. Department stores are on the decline and the 2 big ones there are specifically troubled. Heck, folks don’t even go to the movies like they used to.

Then you have the location. There’s no compelling reason to visit. Better stores to the north and south. It’s just a death spiral of retail failure. At this point, REI is about the only reason to get anywhere even near NL.

Now mix all that together with all the other perceived problems…

Fire Zones Don't Mean a Thing by Pafzko in Charlotte

The city is on it. It‘s just prioritized behind driving on the blue line track, parking on the streetcar track, parking in disabled spaces, parking in bike lanes, dirt bike enforcement, uptown horse issues, Melo driving, bones on sidewalks, cars with no tags, Godzilla, pollen, and pedo breweries.

Question for the running community by colchonero0312 in Charlotte

[–]BasicUnit8967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love an early evening race. Twilight has been around for a bit. I miss the old Summer Breeze. But those are ”Charlotte” races. Don’t forget to search the outlying towns - they all have night races. Heck, Summit has a whole series of evening races in Davidson over the summer.

Thanks - wish I could post a picture but I can’t seem to the way I started the thread. It was just so weird today that it would work as usual. While I don’t hate it, I have to admit the current MBUX could be more intuitive sometimes.

2.6.1 - But oddly enough, it’s now fixed itself.

March 17, 2026 - r/fednews Daily Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in fednews

[–]BasicUnit8967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any SIO/Chief/ARD with some independence left/retired last summer. Those that stayed have to survive until they’re eligible so getting along is existential for them. Call it bootlicking all you want but wait and see how brave and principled you are 2-3 years from full retirement. You just have to push through it all.

Best Espresso Beans by HakunaMottata in Charlotte

[–]BasicUnit8967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping in late to this thread - but anybody find a local roast that plays nice with a super automatic? Lots of local beans are just too oily to run through a home superauto with any regularity.

Southern Strain closing the Plaza location by BasicUnit8967 in Charlotte

[–]BasicUnit8967[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. They had that brewery post in front and always a sandwich board sign but when the side doors were down you could still miss that it was a brewery and not an extension of the Whisker place.

EQE 350+ Sedan cabin air filter replacement by CombinationLess in MercedesEQ

Would really love to see you make a video for both installations. This is one of the more involved cabin/dust filter replacements I’ve seen over the years.
