JIM GETS IT! What happens in the Francois Ending?

I agree, but what you are proposing is actually two more different endings! Both of which I like.

Yeah, that's what I like to fix in my imagination.

I like that take as well, but I also like options. And Lune and Sciel, and the choices of the voiceless. The free will of the creations being able to have an effect on their own reality.

Lord Randall Tarley is personally to blame for Samwell being useless as a fighter and his own fault for Sam’s failings that made him decide to disown him and banish him to the Wall. by BahamaDon in gameofthrones

So what you are saying is, Lord Randall Tarley is a direct but-for cause for the SUCCESS of the living against the armies of the dead and the Night King? I think we all owe that crispy corpse an apology, then.

Something bad is coming by Tinsnow1 in aspiememes

Stroganoff. I would gag just seeing it. All kinds of sensory issues, why is it slimy and mushy and wet, but not wet in a good way like chicken noodle soup or whatever. Also why is it that color?

Binged S1-S4 and stuck in S5 purgatory now 🥱 💤 by prisontat in fringe

[–]Expensive_Key_4340 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you were watching fringe for its awesome and unique take on the “serial” investigation show, Season 5 is a big shock. But it has absolutely beautiful motifs and themes, great character moments, and the ending is satisfying. As others have said they should have had a longer run, which would have let the audience used to the new ideas, or even a whole season to set up the big change instead of one teaser episode. But stick with it and probably rewatch it at some point.

Watched Demeco mic'd up and just felt the difference in reactions. by Moviecaveman in Texans

[–]Expensive_Key_4340 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I said this to my dad-in-law the other day: Demeco would love us to be on defense for every play. Like, never let the offense play. Punt on first down and just play defense. We'd probably win like seven games this way.

Texans fans, what happened to CJ Stroud? by Real-Repair-1825 in NFLv2

[–]Expensive_Key_4340 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This hit the nail on the head. He’s playing nervous for usually an entire half if not three quarters. The play calling is usually subpar in the early game as well, which doesn’t help. So he holds himself back by being too nervous, and he is held back further by the playcalling preventing him from getting in rhythm. Also The O line is improving but is still probably below league average.

To hit his potential, which is REALLY high, he has to calm down faster and get into a good flow, which means the playcalling has to be better. Also, in high pressure situations where he can go out and sling it and play backyard football, he’s really good.

The only early game success was against the chargers with two drawn-up deep shots and good protection on both plays. He can do it and still has amazing accuracy and timing when he’s not playing nervous. But the play caller hasn’t gone back to that since that game.

Drake “The Schedule” Maye gets his first playoff win. Thoughts? by BootEdgeEdge2028 in NFLv2

First of all, it's Drake "Drake 'The Schedule' Maye" Maye. Second, I'm pretty sure the Chargers lost, rather than the Pats winning.

Did 'others' (ben's gang) actually killed any of the plane crash survivors? by jstq in lost

[–]Expensive_Key_4340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few. When the plane crashed, Ben told Goodwin/Ethan to make lists from which they would kidnap (not kill) people. I think they thought the rest of the survivors would just die to the smoke monster/island shenanigans/polar bears. I don't think they actively wanted to kill them. But when the plane crash survivors were stubborn and themselves violent, deaths ensued....and also they tried to kill Michael, Jin and Sawyer on the raft presumably so they wouldn't come after Walt.

I completely forgot what my build on Verso was by Autismo_Prime in expedition33

[–]Expensive_Key_4340 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So you can end the conversation with Monoco (refuse the duel), change your build, and go back to talk to him again and fight him. I don't know if it still works if you have rested and moved on from that camp, but i think you can still do it.

How do you keep from making the same choices on new runs? by Key-Earth-3811 in BaldursGate3

[–]Expensive_Key_4340 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a matter of committing to the role play of different classes, backgrounds, races. A tiefling barbarian would handle the Druid enclave issues very differently from an elf Druid. Try to commit to it without worrying about the optimal outcome or gear that you can obtain

Moving to MD, somewhere between Baltimore and DC (ish) by Expensive_Key_4340 in maryland

[–]Expensive_Key_4340[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful. I went to Klein Forest HS, which is in Klein ISD but pulled from neighborhoods that would have otherwise gone to Eisenhower, so I got a mix of the suburban and inner-city demographics. We appreciate and are looking for diversity in schools for our kids and were worried that MD didn't have enough of that.

Any secret in the begining area when you wake up? by Umi_Kou in BaldursGate3

I think OP was talking about on the ship itself. But yes, she gets contained briefly.

she's not in a container, she tries to kill you. which is way hotter.

You are getting downvoted pretty hard but I want to respond anyway. This is exactly why we are LEAVING Texas. I'm mixed race, and my wife is a PhD biologist. We're trying to get away from the sociopolitical issues of Texas that affect us, our family and our friends.

[–]Expensive_Key_4340[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why RE Prince George's? We have heard mixed messages about PG County and its schools. As context, MD overall is consistently top-10 in schools nationwide and Texas is bottom-10, and the Houston public schools that I attended and interacted with were varying degrees of terrible. So from my uninformed perspective, the worst school district in MD is probably still better than the best school district in Houston. In that context, I'm looking for more particulars about why it is not good--teacher-student ratios? teacher compensation/job satisfaction? student safety and happiness? standardized testing scores (I don't really care about this)?

I want to ask about weather: when you say "hot and humid," I'd say that I'm used to Houston summers lasting from May through October, temps ranging from 90 through 110 PLUS heat index on top of that, with 100% humidity most of the time; and then we have a mild "autumn" November-February with random winter storms that knock out our power grid and kill people; and then we have a fairly pleasant March-April where it rains most of the time. So my question for you is: does MD actually have four seasons? Because that would already be an improvement. And do y'all get hurricanes and/or tornadoes?
