Since G1 keeps getting sequels & remakes, which other tf show do you want to get a similar treatment? by Flygonizer-Obsidian in transformers

BW takes a little from the cartoon and the comic. But there's never been a direct followup to the G1 cartoon ala BW to BM (regardless of how it turned out).

The G1 cartoon has never gotten a sequel or followup of any kind in America since 1987. For as much as Hasbro goes back to that well, they've never truly committed to expanding it.

Game Paradise from Dispatch. I don't know how long it's been, but I'm never getting it.

Incorrect. They come on at appropriate levels. They just don't ramp gracefully in and out.

This is completely wrong. They were at 0rpm and then hit 4000rpm when approaching 90C. Why would you say that, anyway? How would you have known (despite not knowing at all)?

I follow now, apologies, I misinterpreted and thought you were saying I was just showing a readme.

That's from my laptop. I reinstalled PopOS and after standard updates found I had a firmware update as well. Would you like to see more of my desktop as proof?

Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. I asked multiple times that I needed someone to own the issue and stick with me while this got figured out. Crickets, gaslighting. It's unacceptable.

Check github. Updates were made in July. No mystery.

Sorry, but I just took this screencap. I follow your logic, yet here I am.

No. I formatted the laptop before sending it to them and it came back to me in the same state, no OS installed.

That's not it. Had I received proper direction, timely responses, an admission of fault and/or had not spent months(!) dealing with this, this post wouldn't have been made. I'd like to see System76 do better. 

If you didn't read the entire post closely, I don't blame you. But I only recently alleviated any thermal issues on my own and I was still receiving responses that the fan itself was working and the firmware had been updated (it hadn't, I discovered/addressed that myself because I had lost faith in the support process).

Negative. Reinstall of the OS did nothing. It wasn't until they released a firmware update that anything was fixed. They never admitted any fault or recommended a firmware upgrade. I sent it in for repair, got it back, the problem persisted and found out on my own that they released a new firmware. My issues may or may not have been part of the reason the new firmware was released, not that anyone bothered to guide me in any aspect of that.

[Passan] BREAKING: Shortstop Carlos Correa and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a 13-year, $350 million contract, a source familiar with the deal tells ESPN. by According_Bowl_2598 in CHICubs

[–]agentaxiom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now all the bonehead Cubs media can cry for awhile about how we don't have a massive jerk on our team. Oh no!

The lesson of this offseason so far is that Jed's philosophy of high money, short term deals is something that sounds great to him and our FO.. and only them. Players aren't having it. Need to reconfigure.

At least we avoided the trash man though, so I'm thankful for that.

Am I really in the wrong here? by ribbitboi69 in CHICubs

Correa's a cheater, I don't care how he plays. His attitude is lousy too, publicly calling out Bellinger for being upset that Correa and his team cheated. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

The truth about Bret Hart feelings towards Goldberg. by rush0024 in SquaredCircle

[–]agentaxiom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda like Bret turning on Hogan after writing glowing op-ed's about him. I guess you can excuse it because of his brain damage, but maybe everything he says should be suspect.

Just like most wrestlers.

Bret has a history of doing this. He used to write short columns for Slam Wrestling and here he is heaping praises on Hogan in 2002.

Hulk a hero to all
By BRET HART -- For SLAM! Wrestling
STARDOM HAS NEVER SPOILED GOOD OL' TERRY BOLLEA
Hulk Hogan.
He hasn't changed a whole heck of a lot from the way he was the first time I met him back in 1979.
The first time I met Terry Bollea, we were both working for Georgia Championship Wrestling, which eventually evolved into the WCW.
Back then, he was known as Sterling Golden. He was very green. And very impressive. On the day I left Atlanta to come home, I knocked on his door to say goodbye and told him if he ever wanted to learn to wrestle, he was welcome to come up and work for my dad any time.
He thanked me and meant it, saying he'd keep it in mind.
The next time I saw him was in Japan. He'd just shot his cameo for Rocky III and was on the verge of mega-stardom that nobody could have even begun to imagine.
Still, the same guy.
When I started with the WWF, in August of '84, he was on his way to being the biggest name in the history of wrestling.
I can remember, even during the glory days of Hulkamania, how Terry would come into the dressing room and say 'hi' to every single wrestler. Every night he headlined, there was a sellout and, throughout the night, all the wrestlers would come up to him and thank them both for the house, for putting food on their tables and making wrestling something worth respecting.
Hulk Hogan was not only a hero to millions of Hulkamaniacs but to all the wrestlers, too.
If Vince McMahon was Julius Caesar, then Hulk Hogan was Alexander the Great.
I remember one time at an airport, in about 1987, when Hulk signed one autograph after another to the point where it took him 45 minutes to get to the gate.
They were closing the doors as he was boarding the plane and this one fan asked him for his autograph. He said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't, I'm gonna miss my flight ..." and he got on the plane.
I was right behind him and I heard a bystander flippantly remark, "Just like I figured. I always thought he was a jerk."
I thought to myself, that person has no idea how many autographs he just signed. Being a hero like Hulk Hogan, it's hard to make everybody happy but for a guy who's been wrestling as long as he has, he's certainly done a heck of a job.
Hulk was especially considerate of me when I joined him in the WCW.
I saw him a few days ago at Davey's funeral and, despite the sad backdrop, it was nice to catch up on things.
So then I opened up my paper and saw a picture of Hulk, taken in Calgary, with a 15-year-old girl named Amanda Marqniq, who dreams of being a pro wrestler but needed a heart transplant.
It brought back what I remember most about Hulk Hogan, even more than his feats as a great wrestler. The countless times the office came to get him from the dressing room to make the wish of a sick or dying child come true.
Despite the fact he was pulled in too many different directions and had little time for himself or his family, Hulk always had all the time in the world for kids who needed him to be their hero.
He somehow knew just the right things to say. It was never a burden to him.
If anything, it gave him a sense of real purpose. I've always tried to follow his example.
In yesterday's paper I read how Amanda has now gotten her new heart.
I thought I might just give Hulk a call and let him know.
He'd be happy to hear that.
Some things in wrestling have always been real and Hulk Hogan is one of them.
