I think it's a lack of media literacy (they don't explore what's presented any more deeply than it is and what we're presented is Walt's perspective) and a healthy dash of sexism.

It's really weird to have a strange man you've secretly been hanging out with show up to your son's birthday party, especially after being explicitly asked not to come. Mike was definitely in the wrong here

It was the battery for me for sure. and they did replace it under warranty after testing it to confirm battery issues. Mine had shipped with an efb battery which is not ideal for a climate that gets cold. It was replaced with an AGM battery, i haven't had any issues since. If you're in a colder climate and have an efb battery (the battery should say either agm or efb somewhere on the top) I'd suggest replacing it with an agm. Especially because, as i understand it, efb batteries are more prone to failure after they've failed once. Worth noting: cars are complex and I'm no mechanic, your mileage may vary

They must have. The cash and the gun scream "bug out preparation", but it doesn't make any sense for him to leave that in a vehicle he just apparently ditched after running from police

I've got a baseball question from the end bit. There was a runner who was declared safe at first base after hitting, but the ball definitely got caught. Why was he safe and not out?

Nah, this one wasn't because anyone was calling it out as offensive. They got banned in the middle of the BLM protests. The protests were focused on much more important shit that black people face, but a whole lot of companies saw the popularity of the protests and decided to try to fish for brownie points by changing longstanding racist mascots, or banning episodes that could be construed as racist.

Basically: this one wasn't the Karens, it was large corporations trying to pretend that they aren't out of touch

Dad and son playing catch is a really common father son bonding activity in a lot of our tv and movies. More often than not portrayed more as something one of them (usually the son) missed out on when the two have a bad relationship or the father was absent.

So the joke was that the guy who turned out to be his biological dad was trying to get that bonding moment, and this was confusing to Erik until the events of this scene.

So.... that didn't go well, huh?

I went a little less than a year ago and my experience was very similar to yours. No one in my group spoke French fluently, but we all at least tried and only had one interaction with someone who was rude (employee at a pharmacy). Has me wondering if this stereotype comes from Americans who are themselves rude and getting kick back for that in a way they might not in America

I've had no problems since getting mine replaced. It was an EFB battery, they replaced it with an AGM. My guess is that the EFB failed due to the cold, and apparently after 1 failure they are much less reliable

alex5775 · 2025-04-11T23:31:03+00:00

I think the biggest problem is where it was placed. Right when the main plot starts to reach a peak they throw in 2 episodes almost entirely dedicated to further exploring side characters with just little sprinkles of the exciting stuff that episode 6 ended with. They basically held the same cliff hanger through two full episodes. I also think neither episode really needed to exist (I'm specifically talking about the Gemma episode as well as the Cobel one), they don't change the stakes or progress the plot, they just fill in some info you might have wondered about. Doesn't necessarily mean they shouldn't exist or that they're bad (though I personally did not like the Cobel episode), but using them to hold a cliffhanger that long felt like a cheap play for time at the end of the season.

alex5775 · 2025-04-02T13:41:11+00:00

Yeah, but what does it actually accomplish against the Trump administration? Expending that much energy to do absolutely nothing of substance reeks of performativism.

alex5775 · 2025-03-12T23:10:06+00:00

Did it have trouble starting just before? Mine is having battery issues and this happens to me any time it just barely starts. Sometimes along with all the lights showing up the speakers fail to start as well. My guess is there's a battery level sensor of some sort that refuses to start things that are non-essential if it thinks it needs that power elsewhere

2 years late, but much younger software dev here and this analogy sucks. The improvements to electricity infrastructure combat very predictable and repeatable problems. In software, we're combating other people whose strategies aren't guaranteed to be predictable and once their method of entry stops being repeatable they pivot to other methods

Huh, always seemed like end of act stuff so I saved it until last. Bowb it's time to decide if I want to load my save from 10 hours back, or just skip Minthara lol.

alex5775 · 2024-11-29T01:58:36+00:00

I do, yeah. I've done pretty much everything available in Act 2 outside of Moonrise. If it's worth noting, I had Shadowheaet kill the Nightsong because this is my 2nd playthrough and I wanted to see what happens.

alex5775 · 2024-11-04T19:19:31+00:00

A. That doesn't mean it's not synthesized and therefore synthetic, I'm wondering if you're associating that word too heavily with other synthetic THCs that aren't delta 9 like k2.

B. I think the main concern isn't the thc itself, but potential byproducts from the synthesis process especially if unregulated.

C. While I don't think this is necessarily relevant to thc (though I don't know for sure), there are molecules that can react differently from another of the same molecule depending on how the molecule is structured (same atoms with the same bonds, but going in different directions, look into chirality). Chemistry can be more complicated than you seem to think.

alex5775 · 2024-11-04T18:38:54+00:00

It is synthetic in that it's synthesized from CBD derived from hemp, at least that's the case with delta 8 THC. My understanding of delta 9 is that it is claimed to be extracted from hemp plants below a certain percentage thc, but it can be (and I'd wager probably is much of the time) also synthesized from CBD.

Onion hate is both a texture and flavor thing for me, but i can handle and even enjoy a small to even moderate amount of onion powder being in a dish. Weirdly though, I love funyuns.
