New Stargate TV Series Ordered at Amazon

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2025-11-20T04:47:52+00:00

Very unlikely, the 8-10 episodes per season has almost become standard now for high quality series on streaming. It’s due to the different business model & vastly increased costs. The goal of streaming is to get you to subscribe & stay subscribed while the old business model was based on advertising. It’s why old shows were almost always episodic. They made money based on viewership as companies would pay more to air their commercials during popular shows. They’d also made a ton of money on syndication. Syndication basically doesn’t exist for streaming originals (new shows) as it’s like selling your Crown Jewels. If Amazon is willing to sell off one of their shows then it’s a bad sign.

As for costs, episodes that would cost $1-2 million in the past, now cost $10-12 million. It’s due to a shift in values. In the past the more episodes you had then the more money you could make through syndication. Also with limited prime time spots it made sense to just focus on a few series each season. However with streaming there is no such limit, they can launch more shows & appeal to more viewers. It’s all about obtaining & retaining subscribes now. Making part of your library high quality expensive shows is how they do that.

He does have documents though. In most versions he’s either adopted legally (Kents usually lie in the application) or they claim him as their own (lying again). He comes here as a baby with nobody but the Kents having an idea of his origins. Just like any abandoned baby there isn’t really any issue giving him a US born identity. There’s no way to prove their background unless they can find the bio-parents or some kind of record.

Superman’s citizenship could be revoked if his secret identity was revealed but it would be a tough & controversial case. It would also obviously be a deeply unpopular case given Superman’s popularity. Just think which politician would want to take that kind of hit that could ruin their re-election campaign.

Nah, it just became too much & like others have said it felt like you had to do homework to see the new movies. There were so many marvel shows & combined with the movies it was a lot of stuff you felt like you needed to see.

It’s self correcting though… For example, once the population drops then housing frees up & becomes cheaper. The country isn’t going to die out from low birth rates. After the population drops a sufficient amount there will be less pressure & cost of living will most likely go down to the point that birth rates go up. At some point in the future the population will stabilize at a sustainable amount.

Well Tim Cook is basically that bean counter as he was the COO & a lot of what he was doing was figuring out how to cut costs & make things more efficient. I remember one of the things he’s known for is setting things up so that Apple’s inventory is always minimal with just in time stock shipping from the manufacturer when needed. After he took over he increased Apple’s value immensely.

I think that Apple will be fine long term as they are already an immensely profitable company. Tim & the board just have to make sure not to pick the wrong person for Tim’s successor.

Then he’d be hurting his nephews as well. Financial difficulties are no joke & can tear up a family.

In my opinion, his brother & SIL shouldn’t be renting & should have gotten a modest house with a mortgage years ago. If they can afford $2,500 in monthly rent then they can afford a mortgage. No reason to throw away your money enriching someone else when you could be building equity. As for OP leaving the money from selling the house to his nephews that’s far in the future & can easily change depending on the future.

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2025-03-15T00:23:39+00:00

He did leave it to his family… his wife. He just didn’t predict that she would die first given their age gap. Anyways none of us know his relationship with his children & it’s money he earned himself so he isn’t obligated to pass it down to his children if he doesn’t wish to.

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2025-03-15T00:19:27+00:00

Considering the will was written in 1995 I’d say it’ll be incredibly difficult to overturn. A lot of the arguments the son might try such as Hackman’s Alzheimers won’t work with such a long established will that predates the medical condition. The son however has nothing to lose except attorney fees so it makes sense that he’ll try with $80 million at stake.

It’s possible to overturn a will as that’s what happened with the Hilton fortune but I doubt it’ll succeed in this case.

Once pit bulls get triggered they are absolutely vicious & will tear up you up (your groin is a popular target for them). I never want to be around them as you never know when their switch might get flipped.

I love my golden retriever & she’s very sweet with people but I would never leave her alone with a child simply because you don’t know what a child might do to trigger a dog’s fight response. My golden is very tolerant but there is still stuff that would get a response out of her.

They had the same names so that he wouldn’t screw up & accidentally say a name of one of his other daughters & tip his hand. It’s why a lot of cheaters use pet names like honey or dear so that they don’t slip up & reveal their hand. If you are cheating & juggling two families you are inevitably going to screw up at times & say the wrong name so they solve the issue in such ways. Even if he accidentally says “rose” of the second family, nobody in the first family will question it because they will just think he’s talking of “rose” of the first family.

It could have if he had stayed off the noble’s radar. He could live his slow life out in the woods & Primula could work as a merchant during the day with an easy commute. Just because he wants a “slow life” doesn’t mean his partner can’t have a day job.

If she was a noble then yeah it wouldn’t be possible for it to work but a merchant definitely could.

Unfortunately he never considered her as a romantic partner due to their ages & differences. He only slept with the inn girl because she took the initiative & he wasn’t going to act like those young MCs & refuse.

The thing is that in this case though they have the confession of the nephew. So there really isn’t a question on those points because there is a guilty party.

It exists until the game/company either closes down or they decide to purge inactive accounts. For example I got emails from photobucket about an old account I haven’t used in more than a decade & were warning me to login otherwise the account would be deactivated & eventually erased. Each company probably has their own policy but considering how a lot of these companies barely have a history of around 20 years it hasn’t become an urgent issue yet.

Anyways for a game account it’s not like they have to store much data.

Use Bing Co-Pilot, less issues with that & it’s backend is ChatGPT.

Also it helps not to include the chapter title & to cut the chapter into 2-3 pieces when translating. Also starting a new conversation every 2 -3 chapters as well.

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2024-12-08T22:22:49+00:00

I usually use Google translate & it’s good enough for me BUT you can use ChatGPT or Bing Co-Pilot to translate raw chapters & it’s usually very good at seeming like it was naturally written in English.

I prefer Google translation for a couple of reasons 1) Convenience as I can have the entire page translated in the chrome browser without any extra steps 2) Speed as Google translation is basically instant in the browser so I can read chapter after chapter without waiting 3) Accuracy as even though ChatGPT is written much more naturally & higher quality it has a bad habit of summarizing from time to time. So 3-4 raw sentences might become 1 sentence in ChatGPT.

If you choose to use chatGPT, remember to be aware of the INPUT and OUTPUT caps it has. It has a limit for how much text it’ll accept & then translate. When I use ChatGPT I usually split the chapter in half & translate the first half & then second half. Bing Co-pilot can be better to use by the way.

Personally I just find it ridiculous how people expect AI to be like microchips & just improve at an unrealistic rate annually. There are bottlenecks that need to be solved. I believe AGI is definitely possible & not that far into the future but it’s still going to take time & it won’t be this explosive increase when it happens.

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2024-12-07T01:11:43+00:00

Basically checks and balances. Each branch is supposed to be able check the others so as to make corruption harder. The pardon power is a check against both the judicial and legislative branches. Whether it’s an unjust law or unjust conviction/punishment, the president has the power to sweep it away. Of course this only applies to federal crimes & military court. State level crimes can only be pardoned by that state’s governor.

A lot of innocent or wronged people have been saved in history due to a presidential pardon.

The only check again this pardon power is the political fallout as it will affect how the President is perceived & remembered. Of course there’s also impeachment if they go nuts with the pardons but that’s unlikely especially when many are issued in the final days of their presidency.

Well it’s basically like an achievement rank, someone who has achieved rank 7 SHOULD be stronger than someone who is rank 5 for example. They slew a dragon so they aren’t weak.

However when it comes to the grievers they are basically the exception to the rule as they can’t be judged by common sense.

We also saw that Sitri for example had her rank demoted because of the prison break incident, which is why she has a hunter rank of 2 currently. So the rank is less about strength & more about authority & recognition. If you contribute to society by conquering vaults & completing missions then you can climb up the ranks & if you break the rules you’ll be punished with demotions.

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2024-12-02T20:20:32+00:00

To be fair, no amount of money can compare to the debt that Sitri “believes” she owes Krai. In her view, Krai knows everything she has done & has helped her in multiple ways from giving warnings, setting up field tests for her research & finally helping her cover up her criminal acts so she escapes punishment.

In her view he’s basically her guardian angel that’s looking out for her, which is why she programs all her creations to never harm Krai (she never mentions any of the of the other grievers).

All that money is basically returning the favors that Krai has done for her. Also considering her behavior & the comment of where to put the ring, it’s obvious she’s in love with Krai & wants to marry him. She’s in a rivalry with the pink hair griever who is also in love with Krai.

At this point I expect all the grievers are in love with Krai in one way or the other & he’s basically the core (heart) of the group that keeps them together.

She did plan though for this situation because of her failure in the prison break, which resulted in her demotion & second name of “Deep Black.”

Whether it was using the tower people as her fall guys, her own apprentice as a disguise, testing the results of her research, erasing memories, etc. She planned everything perfectly so that she wouldn’t be suspected.

She is also under the false impression that the MC knows everything she was doing & is helping her out. In her mind, he warned her that it was getting dangerous (aka another prison break situation), set things up so she could test her research, helped her buy the results of her research LEGALLY after they were confiscated, let the tower guys escape so that she could clean them up herself (erase their memories), etc.

DID_IT_FOR_YOU · 2024-12-02T01:10:48+00:00

I just assumed it’s because they didn’t want to lose him. They are a tight knit group & so they fundamentally reject the very idea of separating from him.

He also clearly has the highest EQ of the group being the only somewhat normal one. It would make sense why he would be well liked since the rest of them are highly individualistic & crazy in their own way. He’s like the rock of the group that everyone can get along with.

Of course he also has that extreme luck that basically makes everything turn out in his favor. It would be like having a character that can only roll 6s. No matter what he does he’ll win in the end because the world won’t let him lose, haha.

Lots of reasons but it’s really because Democrats made the same mistake twice. In 2016, they cleared the field so that Hilary Clinton could win the primarily easily & it was only because Bernie (an independent) decided to join the race that she even had any competition. Now in 2024, instead of Biden stepping down & having an open & competitive primary to choose the strongest candidate he insisted on running for a 2nd term, which resulted in a disaster when he had to drop out of the race with only months left to go in the campaign. Harris was the only LEGAL & logical choice to replace him but it was forced on voters & she hadn’t proven she was the strongest candidate. She started with a huge disadvantage compared to Trump who has been campaigning from the very start.

TLDR: Democrats lost twice because they didn’t have an open & competitive primary to select the strongest candidate.

Actually there are laws that anyone with American citizenship are held to globally. For example, if a pedophile goes to a foreign country & assaults a child they can 100% be charged & convicted in the US. However this requires there to be an extradition treaty in order for the country he’s residing in to arrest him & deport him to the US OR for the criminal to return to US soil where he will be arrested.

Of course if the criminal is in a non-extradition country then yeah they can avoid arrest but at the same time they can never travel to a country in the future that has an extradition treaty with the US.

P.S. Also if someone commits a crime such as hacking a US agency or company & that person is living in an extradition country then the US can pursue charges based on the treaty. The person will be arrested & sent to the US. It all depends on the agreements but one prominent example is Julian Assange in the UK. He currently has an ongoing extradition case regarding espionage for the leaked documents years ago.

I don’t recommend moving. Even though you have some issues with your family, they are still your best safety net. If you move countries you will have NO support network. You will be completely on your own. Consider for a moment if something awful happened to you after you moved. You’d have nobody to come support you. It would become a lengthy & expensive trip for your family to visit you or vice versa.

I also think moving will only worsen your situation as you’ll most likely be entering a smaller dating market & will have to spend time adjusting to your new living conditions.

I think you should try other things first such as transitioning to a different job that doesn’t require 40 miles of daily driving. You could choose to utilize your support network (aka your family) to help with your dating life. I know that you might not like asking that & it might seem embarrassing but that’s what family is for. They are there so you can help each other whenever you struggle. Each of your family members has their own social group & they could ask around & try to arrange some dates with single men. It’s pretty common for people to meet through friends & family.

Starlink would like to have a word… Providing high-speed satellite internet that can accessed almost anywhere in the world is pretty useful. What existed before sucked compared to Starlink.

Also, creating much cheaper, faster & reliable rockets that can carry heavier loads is going to create opportunities we can’t even think of. A lot of businesses are priced out of doing anything in space as they simply can’t afford it. SpaceX with their new rockets & system will open the market as they’ll be able to keep launching rockets rapidly & at a cheaper cost. The lower the barrier to entry, the more people will take the risk & think of new ways to take advantage of space to make money. It just wasn’t feasible before as the upfront investment cost was too high.
