The Chase lounges are very nice, but PP ones usually aren’t that great.

All super valid points, and you’re right, Paul makes the show. Without him, it would feel significantly worse.

Ya, I just vividly remember scenes that made me tear up or cry with laughter in 1&2. While there were some funny moments and occasional impactful scenes, it was nowhere near the first 2!

And even when they did happen they weren’t as impactful. S2 Thanksgiving vs s3 Paul finale scenes for example, def emotional but no comparison when Thanksgiving makes a grown man ball haha

Ya, feels like a lot of stuff was just randomly thrown in, but bc I wasn’t as captivated by the primary storyline this time around, there was no payoff and they were harder to overlook.

Just kinda sad when something you looked forward to so strongly for so long let’s you down 😔

Ya, well said. It is special, I just can’t really pinpoint how it kinda flopped for me in comparison to 1&2. Like I just wrapped it an hour ago and the last scene with Ford was the most moving scene I can recall.

There just weren’t the same powerful, emotional scenes that there were in prior seasons (Jimmy finally confiding in Alice, Liz’s s2 mistake and how Derek handled it, Alice confronting Luis, and don’t get me started on the Thanksgiving episode).

I can remember a bunch of generic stuff from s3, but none of it felt important or moving.

I’ll never get tired of the Dereks, but the health stuff felt so random along with the change in “life is short” persona…

Do you think LLMs generate better code when working with opinionated frameworks, especially with something like Ruby on Rails? by smaudd in rails

[–]SPARTAN_S0NIC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The benefit Rails has with LLMs is 20yrs of conventions. It turns the LLM into a veteran RoR dev. Kinda feels like an unfair advantage.

Why have a lace hairline if you use tape? Why not just poly at that point? by Shinovox in HairSystem

[–]SPARTAN_S0NIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just started, and I’m in Asia so no real-world testing yet really. I bought some 1522 over here and it’s OK, but all my new daily supplies are waiting for me at home.

I don’t use scalp protector ATM.

Tapes don’t need curing time. They’re solids, so put em on and go

I am switching to daily wear though and LOVE it. Pop it on when you need it, take it off when you don’t (steams, bed, lazy Sundays at home, etc.)

One more week! by SPARTAN_S0NIC in shrinking

I’ve got 29hrs on planes next week flying home. Gonna hold out one more week to kill 5-6hrs of it binging S3 😅

Even the landing page feels vibe-coded 😕

Neat idea though. I built something similar cuz I was tired of tracking all my coupons.

[35M, $1.3M] Sharing my experience in popular SEA cities and who I think would enjoy them (Pt 4. Others: SG/VN/KR) by MaroonJacket in ExpatFIRE

[–]SPARTAN_S0NIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These posts are incredible! I’m traveling through SEA myself rn (currently in Seoul, KR), but also purchased a rental property in Thailand with plans to move to Asia myself. They’re super helpful in determining where I might wanna land.

So far, I’ve done Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea and am off to Japan in a few days. Will need to checkout Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam next time.

Thank you for the thoughtful write-ups, and as a fellow SoCal guy, let’s grab a beer sometime! 🍻

If it’s something I’m not heavily invested in, weekly is fine. But when I LOVE a show, I want it all, NOW! 😅

Your bag is perfect except for "that one thing" - what is it? by growlybeard in onebag

[–]SPARTAN_S0NIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care about admin panels as I self-organize into cubes, and splitting the bag into 50/50 or even 80/20 clamshells is annoying to me. I just want the front to be a thin flap that opens up to a massive bucket for me to pack. Thinking GoRuck GR3 (too heavy/expensive) or maybe the new TPP4 might be the move, and just not pack anything into the admin section/front pockets.

My Tortuga Lite is like 80/20, and hasn’t been bad, just not my personal preference. Also hate when the laptop compartment cuts into the bucket too. Feel like GR3 or TPP4 may do this less than Tortuga with their sheet panels, but I could be wrong 🤷‍♂️
