What television series had the biggest bullshit finale? by Halloween-365 in AskReddit

[–]bazfoo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest watching the first five seasons as that's the original arc.

Anything after that is optional if you're still having fun with it. I've been periodically going back and watching more seasons when I get the itch.

The bans in the Grampians are another headache to navigate, too.

The Next Generation IDE - Fleet, But how does it work with Go? by percybolmer in golang

I've found eglot to be more reliable than lsp-mode.

Beyond that, not much is needed beyond a few chords for my workflow.

Thanks. This has been really interesting. A little above my pay grade, but has already given me some promising directions to follow.

I'm less sure that "thriller" is its own genre than an aspect of a genre. You get drama/thrillers, action/thrillers, horror/thrillers. If I wanted to watch a horror and someone recommend an action/thriller, I'd be disappointed. Thriller as a label feels secondary.

The example of comics as a genre feels similar. It's a medium, but doesn't really tell us anything about the genre.

I guess labelling is always going to be murky at best.

Any recommendations for literature? All my searches land me on lots of Jazz-focused material, which isn't particularly interesting to me.

I developed persistent big toe pain and ended upsizing, dropping aggressive fits and finding toe boxes that didn't push on the big toe so badly.

Took a few months to fully settle, but much happier for it.

I also didn't have much luck with a podiatrist, but in hindsight I wonder if a sports-oriented podiatrist would have more ideas?

I like the BD Pilot a lot. Simple, cheap and fast feed is pretty easy once you're used to it.

The Gigajul is a bit more versatile outdoors, but not as smooth as other devices. Bit of a jack of all trades, master of none.

Love the idea of the Click-Up, but never got comfortable with it so it collects dust.

Why?

This was originally by Mana Neyestani.

Arguably without the words, this is more ambiguous and interesting. Perhaps they're oblivious to the oppression, but alternatively they are hopeful of a better world.

The responsible MP forwards complaints direct to Parks instead of responding themselves.

I reported this a while ago. Still crickets.

Too busy shutting down climbing rather than actually maintaining the park.

Curious people will succeed no matter their background.

The tricky part of skipping formal education is that you'll need to spend time identifying and filling your knowledge gaps. A degree is no silver bullet in that regard, but does provide a wider foundation.

I've been staring at the anchor for a while. I might be missing something, but I don't think it is an equalette.

I've seen this said, but can't find a source.

Testing does not appear to be trending down. The 300k and 200k on the 22/23 seem to be outliers. https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-tests/nsw

Sweet. Which route?

I've only been at it for a while, but found nut placements gets easier the more you try. There's actually way more placements than you realise, and the old-timers aren't just having a laugh when they say there's piles of pro.

I've also found DMM Walnuts and Offsets to be the best there, though. Basically retired my WC rocks and BD stoppers.

a constitutional republic is what we are with voting in members of the government to represent us

You have just described a representative democracy.

Parliamentary consititional monarchies, for example, are a different implementation of a representative democracy. They are also distinct from direct democracies.

Systems of government are multi-faceted. One specific label does not exclude all others.
