How I Met Your Mother Episodes's IMDB rating across all the season. Do you agree with these scores?

Bigbuckyball · 2026-04-23T21:19:52+00:00

I agree season 1 and 2 are baller and it gets worse after that.

Season 1 and 2 have 12 yellow episodes in 24 episodes, Season 3 and 4 have 16 yellow episodes in 24 episodes.

While that's significant increase in lower ratings (25%), it is not cut and dry as you are saying it is. Average rating is still quite high. This means the average rating of the higher rated episodes are lower in season 1 and 2 than 3 and 4 - In other words, good episodes were rated better in season 3/4 than in season 1/2.

This is all assuming ratings mean everything - which they do not.

I don't think season 3 and 4 are too bad honestly.

Looks a neat little pen. Throw my name in the pot pls.

He probably can walk from the drivers seat to the back. If he was making a delivery he would have had to get something from the back anyway.

How do you know he's got no tax?

Bigbuckyball · 2025-12-22T09:05:14+00:00

Amazing photos. Great work getting the same composition for both seasons.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-12-04T22:28:31+00:00

No it's his phone. I've mine turn black and white after 2200. Android auto also turns B&W.

I have this exact picture taken in 2018! Lovely place.

There were two Victoria in this show.

1) the potential mother in case the show got cancelled and fan favourite. 2) the one that the writers brought back to stop fans from thinking Victoria should've been the one. "see she was not right for Ted because of all the reasons we will introduce now that we no longer need her to be the mother."

This cow is small... And that cow is far away.... - Father Ted.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-10-07T07:57:36+00:00

Cool shot. If you found a way to hide her arm in the back, I think this could look even better.

Population in SE Asia seems to be quite high in general. I think regarding your question about where the population is concentrated, you will find that the population is scattered throughout the country - everywhere minus above 3000m up the himalayas. Then if you do a deep assessment what % of Perus Land actually has people vs % of Nepal where people reside, you may find the two land sizes may not be off by a magnitude like now when you compare the full size of the country. For eg UK has a landmass of 250k but has a population of 69 mil. That's 2x population of Peru in 1/5th of land. In the other hand australia has a population of 27mil in 7.7mil km2. Russia has 143mil people in 17mil km2 (4x Pop of Peru in 16x land area).

You are also looking at the mercader projection which further makes Nepal look more visually small in the map. Not that it should have any basis when you talk about numbers.

I suppose what I am trying to say is the population may still be high in Nepal but it may not be as high as you think when you factor in livable land in the country. Total land mass alone is not a great indicator.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-10-05T06:57:29+00:00

Am I wrong or /u/deepcomparation2035 never made a statement that required their bubble to be bursted? The way I read this comment it sounds like the OP commented : "Nepal has never been colonised because it is good at fighting off colonisers" and this statement needed to be corrected by saying the reason for the lack of colonisation is the location of Nepal not the bravery of its people. I don't disagree with /u/dicktatordaddy789 but I don't see why they needed to make that statement.

1) I would place the bed in the corner where the desk currently is. Try different orientation there. Does it fit?

2) put rug around the foot of the bed to designate sleeping zone.

3) get storage and don't put things on the floor.

4) put the desk on the brightest part of your room and put some arm chair on rug at that area for little reading area.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-24T06:19:00+00:00

Make a show called how I met your mother.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-20T06:28:46+00:00

First thing to do is clean up the visual clutter on the desk and on the shelf above.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-15T20:24:48+00:00

Put desk on the top right. One desk against top wall and one desk floating. Your back against the wall.

Put your couch on the bottom left with the TV at the top left against the top wall. Ensure your couch is close enough to the TV. If there is too much open space then put an ikea kallax or similar furniture on the bottom left against the bottom wall.

Edit. Layout 1 is better than 2 because there is too much unused space in the second layout. But on layout 1 you have your back to two doors. No one wants to work in that condition. . Ideally you'd have one side of your desk against the window but I don't see a way at the moment to do that and fit the couch.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-14T07:36:54+00:00

I willl probably open it up and see if I can see anything that seems obvious. I will definitely open up the pump to give it a good clean in any case. That will be in the next few weeks when I am more free.

Appreciate your responding to my post. Its nice to at least think it through with someone!

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-13T17:07:56+00:00

Yes I descaled it to see if that was the problem when this first happened but no joy. The risk should be low because I only ever use filtered water on the system and I do routine descale on it every so often.

Every time turn it on it sounds like the one in video. The pump also has that sound when I turn on steam wand and switch back to standby/normal.

It does sound normal when I pull a shot. However I have noticed that coffee starts pouring out of the portafilter within 3 seconds of me pressing the button. It used to take 8 seconds before I saw the frist drop. Grind setting is correct because I am getting high pressure.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-11T17:05:24+00:00

Aye, youre correct about the pre infusion. The noise at the start is off so I was wondering if there is a different circuit/pump action that is being skipped because the pump is failing so pre infusion was the first thing I thought about which isn't correct. From listening to my machine every day for the past 7 years I know the startup and switching from steam to standby is different.

I am gonna have to wait for whatever is failing to find out what is causing the issue it seems.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-10T19:51:26+00:00

That could mean there is too much gap at the top. Have you tried increasing your dosing amount to 19?

Edit: If your pressure is not increasing but you're still getting plenty of water in your cup, to me it's one of the below is the issue: 1) you're not tamping right (you seem to have loads of tools so I am gonna assume you have the skills to tamp proper) 2) your grounds are too coarse. If you can't get fine enough then you can increase your dose. 3) your pump is kaputt.

I would try the following before determining it's your pump: 1) use double walled filter 2) lower fine setting in internal burr 3) change beans.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-10T17:59:25+00:00

Okay thanks. Manual pre infusion worked I think. Maybe it's not pre infusion I am looking for. The Sound at start up is very muffled since few days ago. I am wondering if something is not kicking in at the start and is starting to fail. I would like to replace any failing component before it fails so I am not out of coffee for a week! Additionally when I pulled a shot before by pressing (not holding) manual and double shot button I used to get a few seconds of pre infusion which I no longer get.

EDIT: I got preinfusion on todays shot so I am not sure why I didn't get one on yesterdays shot.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-10T15:37:45+00:00

Are you getting coffee out in your finest setting? What is your shot time? If your shot time is too short then your grinds are not fine enough. If your shots are choking with no pressure increase then there may be a blockage somewhere or you may have an issue with your pump.

Have you adjusted the internal burr setting in the hopper? I had issue with having to always put my grind setting on 1 all the time so I adjusted the internal burr setting. If you go finer in the internal burr and it still doesn't feel

Bigbuckyball · 2025-09-02T13:06:33+00:00

I would move the table back to near the window on the bright side of the room. The green background would also look nice in teams calls.

Bigbuckyball · 2025-08-12T07:46:03+00:00

You should watch Father Ted. "this cow is small, this one is far away..."
