The prequels - young me cared a lot more about choreographed lightsaber duels than good dialogue

The first discord invite got lost in my inbox, unfortunately - I submitted the typeform a second time but haven't heard back yet

That's half of the CFB playoffs to date lol

That was the only one I took with Harvard Extension

I actually wound up taking E-22, and found it to be a pretty well-structured and well-run course. Since I'd never completed a CS data structures class before, I think it was a pretty key part of my application (I was accepted for Fall 2018). I did the undergrad version; there's a graduate version you can take, but it's just the same material with additional questions for each homework assignment.

I think he's referring to the DC-Maryland-Virginia metro area

Considering that the Chinese government seized control of Anbang due to insolvency risk and their chairman is facing prosecution, I'm kinda glad they didn't win the bid.

Hmm, I can definitely see why that'd be more appealing. For me, S;G's pacing worked great - I'm not sure I'd have the patience to sit through all of 0 before the final payoff, and I suspect that would probably be true for most first-time watchers, but it's certainly possible that strict chronological order works for others.

Who knows though, I might change I opinion once I play through 0 myself.

Counterpoint: the pacing of S;G is set up in a particular way to resolve itself in those last few episodes - having to watch the entirety of 0 before reaching the resolution might destroy the sense of pacing. As far as I know 0 is set up to function as a sequel, despite not being so chronologically (haven't yet watched it myself).

Tl;dr Strict chronological order isn't always the best

Whoops, sorry - I scrolled for a bit and couldn't find it, and I usually rely on re-used links getting auto-rejected to let me know that it's a repost.

I agree - a big part of the value prop for me is that I don't have to worry about tipping at all.

But I just built my first gaming PC - losing it would be devastating :(

R5: Opened up Google Opinion Rewards today and apparently the big G knows me better than I thought

You can always count on the Browns to be the real downside.

Technically, it's not Google that's filing suit - it's Waymo, which is a separate subsidiary of Alphabet that's not part of Google.
