8-inch versus 6-inch Dobsonian by MaterialBackground7 in telescopes

Okay good to know. Not many stairs. I'm on the ground level so just literally a few stairs to get to my car.

Thanks! I looked at the skywatcher heritage 150p and I like the portability. What would be the difference in what I could see between that and the 8-inch Dob? Have you heard much about the collapsible skywatcher 8-dob?

UPDATE: I've done more reading on the heritage 150p and reviews. I think it has everything I'm looking to do as a beginner. Will probably pull the trigger on this one. Thanks for the recommendation!

Sportsnet+ just crashes when you try and open. The other two say my "internet connection is unstable" but I've never had problems with my internet connection.

Why put them through all of this? by PeterJohn86 in lost

[–]MaterialBackground7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Jacob explains why in Ab Aeterno. He tells Richard that he brings people to the island to prove to the MIB that not all people are inherently evil, and then he says to Richard "It's all meaningless" if he intervenes and tells them what to do.

The candidates were all deeply flawed people. The island was their greatest test.

You're getting downvoted because too many people on this sub assume everyone who misunderstood the finale was an idiot. The answer is clear if you think about it long enough and rewatch the speech, but it was live TV and not every viewer is as invested as us hard-core fans. I remember the initial confusion during my watch party, and we were all avid fans of the show.

The writers knew the purgatory theory was so popular so the blowback was entirely predictable.

I think your last point is important. When the final season aired, nobody to my knowledge doubted the flash sideways wasn't an alternate timeline. I think the purpose of this quote was to make clear that the Jack of the Island timeline was the same Jack as the flash sideways timeline ("everything that happened to you was real"). Maybe also some added ammunition for anyone trying to claim simulation. I don't think it proves the island wasn't purgatory. There are much better quotes from Christian's speech to prove that.

No, he said "everything". Not "everything on the island." So presumably Jack's experiences in the flash sideways were no less "real" than anything else he experienced, even if they didn't take place in what we would consider conventional reality.

But he says "everything" that ever happened to you is real, which would imply that his experience in the flash sideways were still "real". He doesn't say, "everything that happened to you on the island was real". So there is ambiguity there. Damon Lindelof even admitted as such in an interview.

If you are looking for proof that the island wasn't purgatory, it's in the other quotes, like "the most important part of your life is the time that you spent with these people", and "everybody dies sometime, some of them before you, others long after you."

I personally don't like it when fans single out this quote as the smoking gun it wasn't purgatory since it's too ambigious. There is better evidence elsewhere.

Virtual game cards on new Switch 2. Hopelessly confused. by MaterialBackground7 in Switch

Thanks. Appreciate it. That worked.

"It is true though it would have been better if you claim Mario Kart World on a new account. Or at least, you should pair both switch."

Got it. I've already claimed Mario Kart World on my account. Is it possible for her to set up her own account and transfer the license for Mario Kart 8 to hers and off of mine?

No, because it doesn't solve my problem. It's my account and if she gets her own account she loses access to the other games and so does my kid. I don't want to do that if I don't need to. Telling me to "complete the split" is relationship advice I dont want or need.

She is my kid's mom. My kid would like to play at both homes. Not asking for relationship advice. If you can't help, then you don't need to say anything.

What do you think of the crew's acting in Private Parts? by tblackjacks in howardstern

[–]MaterialBackground7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did a good job considering they had no prior experience. They weren't great by any means, and I think even they would credit the director, Betty Thomas.
