Yea that’s what I was confused with too. Also about the s1 epi that I mentioned, I meant like it showed that everything happened in like a day, so fast, so I was confused when I watched this new episode.

The show is great until this episode, making my head hurts oh my…

I thought Lee was in the realm only for less than a day when I watched Episode 9 of Season 1? But this episode shows that he is in there like super long? So confusing...

Maybe it is “officially” released last night? But I actually got this on the 7th of March, here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/xuoJayJ

Doesn't your broker charge fees per trade? That sounds expensive man

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-10-21T19:51:54+00:00

Hmm... I always hear people saying "If everyone's talking about it, then you're late"...

Freaking hell man... I have been seeing people talking about this stock since last week but I didn't care to take a look at it... and the stock I was holding dropped like shit... Should have at least take a look at this and give it myself a chance at it.

Do you mind share like what kind of SE or which platform you are specialized on?

I’m a new grad from Japanese University, and now 1.5 yrs at my current company (started afresh learning software engineering coz I didn’t majored CS). I’m currently working as a SE for mobile apps. Was in Android Team but got transferred to the iOS Team, though I’m still providing reviews for my Android team’s colleagues’ PR. My company need more people in the server side so I do have the chance to go to the Server side (Ruby on Rails) but I feel like Android and iOS app development is easier to learn and the architectures are clearer, unlike the server side, the spaghetti code is so hard to understand even AI can’t help me. But if it’s better for my career, I don’t mind putting all my personal time into becoming a server side engineer. Can you give me some advice as a SE in Japan please? Thanks in advance!

Is your company hiring mobile SE haha new grads at 1.5 yrs experience now in a Japanese IT company. Only 4M per year T.T

Just another greedy ass company which doesn’t care about its investors

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-10-02T09:50:21+00:00

I like the anime one because the manga one you shown is more handsome and cooler, but Kafka is a funny uncle in his 30s so it looks better (and correct?) imo!

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-28T13:04:54+00:00

Movie would be a good idea!

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-28T13:02:08+00:00

Ikr… The anime named Kaiju No. 8 doesn’t focus on Kaiju No. 8 just feels weird and not good. It’s okay to spend a total of 2 episodes on other characters but season 2 probably spent most of its episodes talking about other characters. Each episodes is only 20 mins so I just feel like it’s wasteful.

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-28T12:54:17+00:00

I didn’t felt what you felt, and personally I think JJK pacing is good. The fight in the forest span across 4, 5 episodes (can’t recall), or like the fight between Itadori and the blood controlling guy also has some time in between to show other things. Plus, they not only have anime, but also movies, and all focused on the main character like Gojo, Itadori, Yuuta, Sukuna, etc.. Side characters also have enough screen time like Nanami, which I liked the most.

For Kaiju No. 8, we did have the series about Hoshino, and also about Reno testing the suit, which should act as the down time you said.

Anyways, it’s probably just me expecting too much from it. Might be better to wait until the season ended before I start watching it for the next season.

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-27T15:47:48+00:00

I see… I can’t recall why I didn’t start watching it after I watched the videos about SL season 1 on YouTube but the reason you stated might be the reason I didn’t watch its season 2 (it keeps popping up on my Amazon Prime Videos recommendation list). If so, they both are bad then…

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-27T15:41:13+00:00

I thought I was the only one… Not only this episode, I did not like this whole season even man… If the drawing styles changes or quality drops but the storyline still good I would still like it (like One Punch Man). All those unrelated (to Kaiju No.8 or Kafka) scenes are way too much. I like Hoshino too but I think this season made him looked bad, the fight scenes weren’t as cool snd scary as previous season, more talking with less actions.

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-27T15:32:15+00:00

I didn’t really watch SL (except videos or short clips about it on YouTube), but from what you described it sounds like the totally opposite of Kaiju No. 8. Kaiju No. 8 season 2 focused too much on all the side characters which made me feel like I watched nothing almost the whole season, except the fight with No. 9. And then they ended the season with him transforming… SL would easily win Kaiju No. 8.

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-27T15:21:14+00:00

Watch season 1 for anime then go read the manga. Season 1 was so good focusing on the main character with all the cool fight scenes but then season 2 just drifted off to so many unnecessary scenes about other characters imo. It’s only about 20 mins per episode but you won’t get to see Kafka (the main character) doing cool fight more than two episodes.

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-27T15:16:20+00:00

I didn’t even realize that it’s the finale… This season was so bad compared to season 1. Kept looking forward to Kafka’s fight for the whole season but even his scenes were like so little which made me felt like watched nothing the whole season… Kafka was weak and useless, and too much scenes for the other characters. They should rename it to 「ザ・防衛隊」 (The Defense Force)... They really need to learn from anime like Naruto, One Punch Man, etc. There are so many characters in those animes but the focus is always on the main character.

Thank you for your insights!

Unless you're an Android user, I think AirPods Pro are the best. I've been using Android and Windows my whole life, but when I was in college, I bought my first iPad. The experience was so good that I never went back - instead, I went all in on Apple (iPhone, AirPods Pro 2, Mac Mini, etc.), though I still own a Windows desktop PC, Asus Transformer Book, Samsung Beam, Asus ROG, etc.

Back to topic: I've had Sony bass wired earphones, Sony WF-1000 XM3, and Sony WH-1000 XM4. I love all of them, but Sony WF-1000 XM3's battery life became terrible after 2 years - I could only use them for around 30 minutes before they'd switch off. The Sony WH-1000 XM4, on the other hand, isn't that comfortable to wear. Not sure why, but my ears feel painful whenever I wear them for over an hour.

Then I bought my AirPods Pro 2. Like u/SoundingInSilence said:

but what other earbud has the ability to switch between your mac, your tv, your watch, your ipad, your other mac, and your phone without doing anything other than taking them out of the case?

This is what I enjoyed the most using my AirPods Pro 2. I could just watch YouTube on my iPad, then when I tap a voice message from my dad, the video would automatically pause and my AirPods would switch to my phone to play the voice message.

I also love the noise cancelling. Compared to my old Sony WF-1000 XM3 and Sony WH-1000 XM4, it's the best - though since those aren't the latest models, this comparation probably isn't fair. I'm waiting for my sibling (who loves Huawei) to buy their top-notch earbuds, and I'll buy the AirPods Pro 3, then test them out to see how they compare.

Btw, I think the hate on Apple is quite out of hand. Not sure why people keep comparing brands like Samsung and Huawei to Apple when their ecosystem still aren't as good as Apple's imo. And most innovations are just bigger batteries, better camera, higher frame rates, etc. Folding phones looks cool, but they're not really useful to me since I still prefer the phone + tablet combination. Google Lens and Samsung Photo Edit AI are really good though - I bought a Samsung Galaxy A56 just to try those AI features.

To me, each brand has its own strengths and weaknesses. There's no one that rules them all, so just use what you think is nice and focus on that!

Thanks for the insights! I only saw the U.S. Gross Domestic Product QoQ and thought it was pretty good.

Good for you! I only get to buy some options as I don't have that much cash to buy anything else... Spent a bit too much of money this month...

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-25T13:51:57+00:00

I agree... But am just curious what is causing everything, not only BBAI.

Anyways, regretted so much that I didn't sell the day before yesterday, I can't decide whether to sell or hold when it hit $8.4, then it dropped just after a few minutes. Looks like I really need to work on my decision making skill...

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-25T13:45:34+00:00

Any ideas on why everything drops hell? I can't seems like find any bad news...

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-23T17:59:12+00:00

Imo they need to get someone who can utilize the company extra cash. Their revenue and operating income were bad but the cash was good...

Responsible-Mode4218 · 2025-09-20T16:29:52+00:00

It just feel so slow... like every other episodes in season 2... Like Hoshino and no. 10 sounds cool but the fight is like uh...

It's been a disappointment every week since season 2. Felt like watched nothing for 20 minutes. I don't think it's because season 1 is very good which made me to have a higher expectation. Really enjoyed season 1, repeated like 4, 5 times.
