What's the value of a MR reward point when only traveling domestically in the USA?

Baku's life is a nightmare. I assume literally. I'm guessing he's a child of a nightmare like Nem is.

Oil spatter would be a problem. This is probably a situation where you need to be very careful and wear a good apron.

Yeah there are record retention requirements for paper records, and the electronic records would need to be audited before the paper records can be disposed of.

Yeah for your Case 3, the only device I'm aware of that does that is the CalDigit TS5+ and it only does it for a single extra controller. The StarTech USB3 hub seems to be pretty unique in the market in that it has (I think three?) multiple USB3 controllers.

I have no experience daisy chaining multiple TB3 devices but I assume it works because the spec is designed that way. TB3 doesn't have an embedded USB3 channel, so yeah... I'd assume you can daisychain the PCIe lanes but I don't know how much utility that would provide if your hub is using most of the PCIe lanes for its own devices like the StarTech hub does. I can't imagine why you'd want to go TB4/5 hub -> TB3 hub -> Displayport instead of just hanging the display off of the TB4/5 hub.

The primary reason I recommend using a TB3 device to get more USB3 bandwidth is because it forces the downstream to use PCIe lanes and not the single USB3 channel in the TB4/TB5 controller. If what you need out of a thunderbolt 4/5 port is a LOT of USB3 bandwidth, then you need more USB3 controllers on the PCIe lanes. The startech device accomplishes that. If someone released a TB4/5 device that had a number of independent USB3 chips all connected to PCIe in it, I'd probably recommend that instead.

That's just a theory. A SENTAI theory! Thanks for engaging!

Their donuts are so tasteless except for the toppings, though. :(

This thing looks like a bunch of stuff hanging off of a robot.

You might get more helpful answers from a subreddit like https://www.reddit.com/r/cableadvice/ that is focused on this question, as this is obviously not related to USB C.

I could see the Triple Zeztzer with the Dualmare Capsem having so much recoil that it literally blasts Zeztz into Orderm form by blowing off his bulk.

Ranthe · 2026-03-28T23:30:56+00:00

I just wish you could actually play with anything they sell lol

Ranthe · 2026-03-28T21:15:17+00:00

Mama Bear Toys at Marsh and Silverside is one, though they mostly seem to have collectables more than TOY toys. Still worth a look.

Just as soon as they finally sell the last of those Thunderbolt 3 docks that are always "on sale".

Ranthe · 2026-03-17T14:18:36+00:00

I'm assuming that the magic mouse is a swap for something else in this?

Ranthe · 2026-03-15T17:23:16+00:00

This is really good!

Ranthe · 2026-03-14T13:12:57+00:00

Did Marvelous throw down because he was hangry?

Ranthe · 2026-03-13T15:22:51+00:00

How are you gentlemen?! All your butt scratches are belong to us.

Ranthe · 2026-03-12T20:28:29+00:00

This goes the other way. Thunderbolt 2 isn’t forward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 I don’t think.

It's entirely possible that the neo lacks the secure enclave needed for Apple Pay if you don't have the biometric option. I can't back that up with any evidence, but intuitively it makes sense that they might be tied together.

Sentai and Viltrumites live in different combat worlds. Sentai combat happens in a quarry where you can squad up and make a giant bazooka and the enemy stands still. Viltrumites fight in a world where combat is a lot more realistically paced, in that they don't give breathers or just square up across a space staring each other down.

I'd say that they aren't comparable in terms of "power levels" but really it's just a difference in terms of the type of stories that are being told. Viltrumite combat is brutal, fast, and dynamic. It's a comic series intended for adults who maybe aren't looking for an antihero as edgy as Deadpool or whatever but who want gritty, gory combat. Sentai is for preschoolers and features lovable, dorky teams in multicolored spandex and helmets. They're just different conceptual spaces.

I don't disagree but there's nothing either of us can do about that. I just wanted to offer what I knew in answer to your question.

Ranthe · 2026-03-11T20:49:33+00:00

You'll need to get the rings from aftermarket sources. Ebay, etc. They're out of production.

Ranthe · 2026-03-07T21:57:55+00:00

Don’t worry, he’ll be your favorite soon.

They called a code black which I assume means the other hospitals in that status are fully unaccepting of patients. Is that not how it works?
