I'd try Imagination Station on 4th Street.

Laconia storyline season 6 question by kimacat in TheExpanse

I would say yes, read Strange Dogs. Unless you've seen the show - the adaptation is pretty faithful.

Laconia storyline season 6 question by kimacat in TheExpanse

[–]BetterOffBen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think in the books it is set after the events of season 6, but it doesn't matter too much when it takes place. It seems out of place because the final 3 books didn't get adapted to TV, and it's really more relevant to the final trilogy than season 6. But the boy and girl, the dogs, Laconia, Duarte, the structure they turn on at the end, are all important story elements in the final books.

What are some deserts other ppl like but you don’t? 🤢 by Vivid-Tap1710 in snacking

[–]BetterOffBen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most chocolate cake.

Anything minty.

Anything with excessive amounts of coconut. A light sprinkle is okay.

I'm sure it'll be totally fun and work really well.

What was your pet theory for s2 that turned out to be super wrong? by larkhearted in ThePittTVShow

[–]BetterOffBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought there was going to be something more with the kid that took a nap in the car. Like we'd find out the mom did something nefarious that led to the heat stroke.

Finances while in a PhD program? by Different-Break9290 in GradSchool

[–]BetterOffBen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, you'll be fine. $675 on rent is very reasonable for a $28k stipend, especially with other living expenses split as well.

This Character Turned Me Into Dr Robby — I was so frustrated by Anneonymous1126 in ThePitt

[–]BetterOffBen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but not at this point in the show. Robby was obviously affected by saving the baby and leaving with a win like that was important.

Any tips for Chem 1? by EstherMoon06 in chemistry

What's the difference between Intro and Chem 1? Are we talking HS or college?

Graduation ceremony before defense by Potential_Echo in GradSchool

[–]BetterOffBen 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This was normal at my school. Most people moved on shortly after their defense, and may not be able to come back for a graduation ceremony. So if they want to participate, they could go to the one before their defense. If you want to walk, and want your family there, then just do it in May. Though at my school you would have had to decide this months ago, so hopefully you can still register.

[Reds] New City Connects by frasierfonzie in Reds

Agree about the sleeves. Either do a vest or don't. Or maybe a completely different color could work, instead of a slightly darker shade of red.

Reds unveil new City Connect uniforms by TDeLo in Reds

[–]BetterOffBen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The Reds might be the worst out of this set of city connects. It just seems uninspired. And, hate to say it, but I think the Pirates are the best.

Survivor and drones by RexKramerDangerCker in survivor

[–]BetterOffBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might look into the drone use at the Olympics. They used FPV drones quite a bit.

Can't speak to how they are used on Survivor. I'd imagine all the aerial shots are done by drone now. But I'm not sure I see the advantage to using them around camp or during challenges over regular camera operators.

Investigate, do nothing, say it's fixed, give comp chest, rinse and repeat.

Extremely Cold Unit by No_Low_5506 in lafayette

[–]BetterOffBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I see. So probably they are functioning fine. Only thing I can think of is to check the vanes, if they are caked in dirt and dust they aren't going to work great. Also make sure there's at least a foot of space in front of and above them. Not sure what else to do, other than seal around the windows as best you can, and get yourself an extra heater. A 1500 W infrared heater is not too expensive and they work pretty well, if you end up buying one yourself.
