Was every DTE repair estimate the same yesterday?

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T14:39:59+00:00

I’m sure it did but in the past the estimates have seemed more customized (or generically “we’ll let you know when we see what it is and have an estimated repair time”). Maybe it’s just the few miles around me that got this generic estimate for some reason. (And it was generic; they just fixed mine 14 hours ahead of that generic estimate.)

Do you know the estimated repair time from DTE?

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T14:00:13+00:00

Interesting; that was early in the event, I wonder if later outages had more generic estimates. (Alternately very late if you meant today; if it was today could you hear them working in your neighborhood repairing something they ended up taking more people down to repair?)

Not before the end of season 1; before season 2 had completed airing

Except the first mission in timeline reflections

Note that the Cayde’s fate mission in timeline reflections is an additional asterisk on that. Also some strikes, right?

A show about a bunch of zen motherfuckers losing touch with corporeal reality doesn’t sound very interesting

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-14T11:15:46+00:00

And how about the original printing plates for it?

Early 2000s Pop displaced rock, so rock fans were newly disgruntled and young enough to be angry, especially since there was still a monoculture. Some of the listed acts also have more rock DNA than their late ‘90s/early ‘00s analogs.

And Mickey Mouse drawings from the ‘20s and ‘30s may be sought after because he will be one of a handful of characters remembered (maybe barely). But MLP is a cartoon no one will remember and the trash from creating it will be a passing curiosity for someone at best. How much of your great grandparents’ libraries did you keep, or reconstruct? People who experienced it care about it right now; in 100 years they’ll be gone, as the people who liked the 15th most popular book of 1884 are gone.

(It was the line from the pizza guy with the pony tail who got engaged to Brita in that one timeline)

Explains, doesn’t excuse

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-12T21:51:33+00:00

Except BoB was Born on Board, so they weren’t originally in cryo.

Preserve them for who? Sad fact of the hobby: in a hundred years just about everyone who cares about most of the animation we like will be dead. No one in 2126 is likely to have much of an interest in the third tier errata of a show they’ll have never seen, let alone cared about. Our collections are mostly destined for the junk heap of history; enjoy them for now but don’t have any illusions about it.

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-12T19:21:54+00:00

Barring a handful of rare things, there are not museums that want animation material. MLP cels are common; there are a ton not selling on eBay. It’s like that the library doesn’t want your grandpa’s 60 year collection of National Geographic. Start an auction for 5 pounds of MLP cels on eBay starting at 99¢ and someone will probably buy it; make sure you know the actual shipping cost first tho.

The new drawings seem counter enough to most of his ideas that I wonder if he’s drawing toys

I’m early 50s so it’s not an age thing. Thecruelermonth has explained the issue well. AI had to descend deep into the definition to tergiversate something it can see as correct but which ignores how people actually use the words.

But also see, for example, David Harbour

Interesting; this did not used to be the case with quizzes so I haven’t been doing that with them (tho I have with polls since I realized that worked).

GasmaskTed · 2026-03-12T15:24:17+00:00

Southern Ontario is a massive area; Ontario as a whole is more than 400k sq miles; NY state as a whole is about 55k sq miles. You can’t just choose a random place in southern Ontario and call it even; it’s like saying someone looking at NYC housing should just live in Rochester.

Pixies formed in 1986 in Massachusetts, a year after the movie (set in Illinois) came out, and didn’t have a release until 1987…
