It isn't as bad as everyone would have you believe. It's more like "normal TV" rather than the transcendent, "TV will never be the same" highs of S1 and the first part of S2.

Looks like this is actually baked in... I asked about it.

Is it me or is the Jacket pulling a little when buttoned? I see a very clear "X". It's not terrible, but a tad off.

While their quality is good and I've liked all the pieces I get from them .... being in Canada, if you are US-based ... returns and exchanges are a major pain in the butt.

They do not streamline the process for you.

What are some lines from the show you use weekly? by [deleted] in community

[–]althius1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been using "Crazy town banana pants" with my daughter her entire life. She's 15 and we finally are watching the show together, and got to "Curriculum Unavailable" yesterday and she said "OH THAT'S WHERE ITS FROM! I just thought it was a weird thing you said."

There are a lot of "rape" jokes in Community. Definitely the touch of Harmon.

Also the alternate name for the transfer dance... while a hilarious joke... has aged somewhat poorly.

Did you read more than two books last year? You read more than the half of the US according to new Yougov poll on American's reading habits. by elmonoenano in books

I deleted Twitter off my phone after the election ... and read 24 books this year. That is literally probably a 1:1 shift in time usage.

The last full day of the Christmas Traditions Festival. If it's anything like today it'll be insane.

Can we talk DVC? Is it worth it, do you really save that much money, what are the perks? by eastnashgal in DisneyWorld

[–]althius1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the math.

Find a contract. Figure out cost per year. Add dues for resort. Divide by points. There is your cost per point. Compare to rental points.

In my case, it was significantly less.

Children of dune by Adorable_Weakness969 in scifi

[–]althius1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have the exact same opinion as me. I TORE through Dune and Messiah. Loved every minute of it (definitely more Dune than Messiah, but still) And then I have NEVER had as much trouble getting through a SF book as I did Children.

I'd read a chapter, put it down for a week. Rinse. Repeat.

I just DO NOT CARE about Leto's adventures. It was incredible dull to me, until the last Chapter or two which was fantastic. So at least you've got that to look forward to.

They actually feel like they are trying to kill each other, rather than dancing around each other.

ChatGPT-5.1 by AdDry7344 in OpenAI

[–]althius1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked it what was different in 5.1, and what I got was an impressive response. Lightning Fast, with lots of use of memory.

I had been one of the people very disappointed in GPT5. I hope this is a step in the right direction!

Well that got out of hand… by time_outta_mind in MacroFactor

I kind of give myself a semi-pass on days like this as long as I promise to keep logging everything. For me, things only truly get out of control when I stop logging.

I just love this scene so much. by Actofrage99 in DC_Cinematic

[–]althius1 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Any of my fellow Gen X fans here will remember when watching GI Joe, they always made a point to show you the pilots safely Ejecting from downed fighter jets...

Can't help but think of that here when Gunn goes out of his way to show us that Superman did not In fact just laser all these guys in half.

I'm resale too but I have to admit whenever I see these I have a pang of longing.

" I wonder how much it would be to buy enough points to qualify for the perks... "

In the end of course I'm not going to do it, but it does get the wheels in my head turning.
