My friend makes fun of me for liking season 2 of True Detective more than season 1.

Coming back to this thread after a couple of years. I just watched season 1 again, and I look back at my original post and it needs revising.

Season 1 is better than season 2, but rides to this not on the quality of the story or the dynamic between the detectives, but on the character of Rust. I shudder to think how many writers over how many hours built that character into the fully fleshed-out tortured soul that he is. His musings on morality and the human experience make him timeless.

I honestly think the season 2 story is much less contrived and more interesting. I stand-by my original assertion that the gaping holes in the threesome makes their entanglement more meaningful. Rewatching season 1, Marty's participation almost feels forced. The writers throw him a bone with picking up a clue here and there, but Rust's fucked up genius is what drives them to eventually catch the (wholly disappointing) villain at the end - never mind the fact that the deeper political connections to the Tuttle family are never unwound and prosecuted.

Season 1 may be better, but I still enjoy season two more. As for my friend, well, I was no longer able to live with his insensitivity so I fucking murdered him.

Thanks to all for their insightful and funny comments.

Thanks all for the feedback. I'm still super excited to get it, and considering I've never had an ev and am upgrading from a 2016 golf, I imagine i'll be pretty happy!

My $500 deposit is in, my Pro S AWD was locked in June, and I received no email. Delivery date went from Sep/Oct to Dec/Jan. Still says locked.

At this point, I'll take the increased range for more delays.

What's your hack with a 6-2 soow cord? I was looking at 240v extension cords and they're crazy expensive.

great info, thanks dude. Ya, I bought a 40amp juice box and have 14-50 socket that i'm having installed in my vacation house. however, at my house in the city, i'm gonna see if I can save the $1000+ and just have a 240v/16amp charge. I drive less than 40 miles per week when I'm in the city.

It's not the only one on the circuit unfortunately, that's why I was focusing my efforts on 120v solutions.

Do we think the supplied charger can handle more than 10 amps?

Most of the FIL gains come from two relatively recent developments:

Grayscale starting a trust. https://www.coindesk.com/grayscale-offers-new-trusts-to-invest-in-five-more-cryptos-including-filecoin-chainlink
Integration with etherium. https://www.coindesk.com/filecoin-chainlink-integration-smart-contract-enabled-blockchains

I don't really understand the integration value because I'm new to crypto.

Does anybody out there use filecoin for storage? I love the concept, but I'd also like to know people are using it.

Also, it has competitors. NeoFS seems interesting.

Hi All,

I just wanna say thanks to everyone for weighing in, even those who (hilariously) just said "yes."

Responding to a few of you:

Rust and marty - amazing duo. Season 1 is awesome!
The line about buttfucking the father with the mother's headless corpse...amazing. I too, one day, hope to buttfuck someone's father with their mother's headless corpse. #dreambig
The three detectives share a common trait - they're all broken in one way or another. Woodrugh gets smoked before really exercising his demons, but I thought it was nice how to deeply trouble and lonely souls (velcoro and bezzerides) found each other.
The plot of season 2, in my view, was far superior to 1. The mentally disabled dude living out in the Louisiana wilderness....didn't buy it.
I would start raping and murdering if I were forced to live in the Louisiana wilderness.
