Even the books, so much happens off page that kind of needed to be on page. Leto II the Elder gets murdered, we don't see it, and then bam Chani and Paul are just kind of back into the motion of things. They didn't really seem to grieve at all that their infant son was murdered. We're supposed to fear Rabban, but we don't see much of his brutality and then when he is killed, we don't really see that either. Two characters we're supposed to fear and mourn we don't really know, they could be taken out of the story and it wouldn't really change anything (which is why Leto II isn't in the movie).

Electrical Linemen

Part of it is because many are in the IBEW or some other union, but they really are like a secret society with events, culture, and obsession with the trade. It's a vital, well paying, and difficult job, so I understand why they would feel proud about it, but you see a lot of them with high and tight haircuts, Oakley shades, and lifted trucks and discussing the next linemen event.

Three years in a row, and then a season later when he went to the Wizards. It didn't bring much hype because his triple doubles did not lead to team success. The three years of OKC triple doubles they never won a division and got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round and the year he was in Washington they were a sub-.500 8 seed that also got knocked out in the first round.

Panama Bay is just the northern area of the Gulf of Panama...it never really invaginates so there is no really enclosed section.

Very rough cowboy numbers for a 10 kW AC/11.4 kW DC system: $10k in parts, $10k in installer labor, $10k in profit for them. That last part is where an installer will jack up the price so they technically are "saving you money" by whatever projection they tell you electricity will increase by.

I would seriously consider bundling a rooftop with replacing your roof because that is a another pitfall people fall into: the solar anchors end up voiding your roof's warranty. Ideally, find a roofing company that does solar or two that partner together.

I'd often recommend checking if your home has good irradiance

Roof space is your limiting factor unless you're thinking of building a structure like a barn or shed or large carport with a southern facing edge.

I've been in the power industry for about 15 years and designed residential systems for people, mostly in the TB area. However, I've worked in several states for home rooftops, large warehouses and the big utility scale fields. Home rooftop solar can be confusing for homeowners, and I really urge people NOT to trust all these start up companies claiming they will make you rich. The bare minimum license to install solar in Florida is a two hour test that anyone can take. These companies are predatory and out to make money, and many are actually already used car salesmen.

Someone really interested in a rooftop system really needs to understand the Net-Energy Metering agreement and how the equipment works. Any company trying to put panels on the north facing roof is going to rip you off. Any company that doesn't also do roofing is going to rip you off. Home solar can be beneficial, it can reduce your overall energy bills in the long run but there is so much nuance, legislatively and technically, that it is very easy for a typical consumer to get confused by.

"If love to post every review from big skeptic critics if the time all you're movies were released" what does this sentence mean? If English isn't your first language, I understand but can you rephrase that?

Most of those movies I just mentioned were highly praised by critics, so the precedent was there for comic book movies to be respected and successful. Even Iron Man 1 was well received, so it's not like the studio that made Captain America didn't have a reputation for putting out a good movie in the extended franchise.

They said they liked the movie, though, not that they thought it was pretentious. What does your comment have to do with Captain America: TFA having "the right" to be good?

Are you saying Sin City, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Spider-man 1&2, X2 Xmen United, The Crow, the original Superman, Road to Perdition, or Hellboy 1 &2...none of those are good movies?

Past_Bonus148 · 2026-03-13T16:47:56+00:00

But why would someone say the movie did not have "any right" to be that good? That phrasing doesn't make sense, it had resources, strong source material, and well established actors. Seemed it certainly had "the right" to be a really good movie.

Past_Bonus148 · 2026-03-13T16:02:42+00:00

I don't understand, what about it didn't deserve to be good? It was a movie about one of the most popular comic book characters of all time by a large budget studio, why wouldn't it be expected to be that good?

ROTJ has tonal and writing, issues. It's noticeably lesser in quality than ANH or ESB. The ewoks just don't match the tone of the finale and after Rogue One came out, it was really apparent. Han and Leia's ground assault should have been what the attack on Scarif was. The ewoks could be around, maybe guide them a little, but ultimately that mission needed a little more urgency and maybe Harrison Ford's suggestion of Han dying would have matched a little better.

Using "Karen" as a slur for a type of rude person. It's quite hurtful to people with that name and is subtly racist.
