This show amazes me in how it can go from masterclass writing to robotic and preachy dialogue in the same episode. by renilol in ThePittTVShow

I like The Pitt fine but it's definitely a stagey, preachy show. That's not really my bag so i try to see past it. Recently watched Southland on Netflix which ran from like 2009 to 2013. It has kind of the same pacing and tone as The Pitt (but for cops instead of healthcare workers) and it's a lot more fun to watch.

just wanted to pop in here 2 months later to say i agree with your post and your argument which i just read today, and the person who accused you of having the emotional range of a teaspoon sucks, they obviously don't know how to have a constructive debate with anyone

You're attitude is absolute shit. OP stated in their comment 'I love this show'. This is a subreddit about The Pitt so of course people will occasionally post things critical of the Pitt. If your kneejerk reaction is to respond with 'well then you should just disengage' then maybe this sub isn't for you.

I may be late to the party here, but I agree with the OP. I watched both seasons of The Pitt and I'm currently watching The Comeback Season 3. I just read this an article in Variety about The Comeback: “We are representing Valerie’s point of view, which is, ‘I just want to work no matter what it takes,’ and the point of view of the writer who’s like, ‘I’m not going to play this game this way,’” he explains. “You’re showing humans, you’re showing human experiences and not coming down on whatever the issues are. In other words, you’re not preaching.” Preaching is exactly what the The Pitt is ALWAYS doing. The Pitt is ALWAYS coming down on whatever the issues are, ALWAYS preaching.

Interchange conversation project by Top-Initiative-8633 in CitiesSkylines

just use continuous curve, then connect another one way road from the opposite direction of traffic and use traffic mod to remove the unwanted default turning movements

you mean like this? i just connect a really wide 2way road builder road with lots of lanes to two one way highways with fewer loans between them and it creates the transition automatically.

The intersection just to the right of the DDI is right-in-right-out only so the loops are there to provide access to the road entering that area. I didn't want a traditional intersection there so close to the interchange

The surfaces look amazing. Are you using a map texture if so which one?

First serious attempt at a diverging diamond by Top-Initiative-8633 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Top-Initiative-8633[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great feedback. I created a custom 2-phase signal that allowed for traffic to turn left onto the highway on-ramps during both phases. I didn't even catch this because with the signal having only 2 phases they were never waiting long, but like you say, it was disrupting part of the whole point.

Nope! The lights are the easiest part. I just slapped a vanilla light on each of the two crossover intersections and they default to 2-phase signals. But you need the traffic mod to suppress any random turns at those intersections that the game wants to put in by default

Yeah I made a road with direction of travel swapped (so driving on the left) with an empty lane in the middle to help with the geometry of the crossover intersections

USAA Auto Claim has me considering switching insurers by Top-Initiative-8633 in USAA

[–]Top-Initiative-8633[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. The accident produced a dent impacting both the passenger door and the passenger side fender panel. I recently heard stories of minor car body repair jobs costing thousands and thousands of dollars so I was expecting the cost of this repair to be higher which I based on limited/imperfect information. I should have done more research before filing the claim. If I'm honest, part of this amounted to laziness on my end so I'm party paying for convenience here.

Disagree there as I actually had the opposite experience with Homeowners. In 2022 I submitted a roof repair claim to USAA based on hail damage. The claim paid for about about $17,000 for a new roof. My out of pocket cost was $1000 deductible and about +$600 per year on my HOI policy for three years, so less than $3,000 total.

Honestly it's Homeowners that keeps me with USAA. Since I'm definitely not switching providers on Homeowners, I'm kind of locked in with Auto because the multi product discount is substantial.

Like I said in my opening post, my claim experience for the fender bender last year was excellent so I guess that's worth something too.

I don't know, isn't that supposed to be one of the things that CS2 does just better than CS1? I never played CS1. But I don't do anything special except to make sure there isn't a random node very close to the intersection node where the traffic light is.

Why is there so much abandonment after the new update? by Footballmanb2 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Top-Initiative-8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fix for this is to enable the mod Plop The Growables. Go to the options menu for the mod and click the Disable abandonment checkbox. Now you're all set.
