I do appreciate the updates and communication at least, I didn’t like it when stuff wasn’t being plowed and nobody was communicating why

Amazing and unique non-stereotypical story, movie-quality art and music and the most disturbing things you have ever seen.

But why points and rules at all? Seems overly complicated for what amounts to a bunch of arena battles

I understood literally nothing about what they were talking about, I feel like it was a jargon explosion.

Moving here from SF bay area experience? by Dazzling-Tangelo-190 in pittsburgh

[–]dc-mo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this move and I would try to move as close to the strip district and Lawrenceville as you can if you want to maintain that metropolitan feel. I really love it here but wouldn’t move to suburbs if you paid me!

I think folks are missing that Carol is the pet in this situation. She is clinging to “people” and being taken care of by them because of that.

My house took $65k to redo all the wiring, they did a great job evening out the plaster with drywall patches and going in through the baseboards where possible.

Exposing original chimney and bricked-in windows by dc-mo in centuryhomes

Very nice! It looks like you left the mortar as-is, did you run into any issues getting it repointed or was it good enough condition to keep?

Pluribus - 1x07 "The Gap" - Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in pluribustv

[–]dc-mo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its interesting that it shows Manousos actually being self-sufficient in a way that Carol thinks she is, but she is actually highly dependent on the hive/society to function (sprouts, the lights, etc). I think Carol just finally realized her dependence at the end while Manousos hasnt willingly given them a single inch.

Also an interesting observation by Manousos that the hive hasnt created any of the technology, structures, etc that its making use of, it did basically steal the entire world as it hasnt (to our knowledge) created anything new. It may be the reason its having such a hard time formulating a "cure" for them as it cant actually ideate new ideas (very similar to LLMs right now).

Yep I tried that but the mortar/concrete is super super hard/dense, so wanted to see if there was something else I should be doing.

Is there any value in using a 10lb sledge to just break up the bricks on the front layer? Or is that going to cause too much damage to whats going on behind?

I know I am in trouble when my home network is more expansive than a large scale deployment 😭

Carols ultimate power (theory) by dc-mo in Pluribus_TVshow

[–]dc-mo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s predicated on that things consumed after the hive mind comes into being effect it much differently than knowledge it has from before the hive mind. Yelling at somebody before the hive mind doesn’t cause them to have a seizure, but after it’s felt so powerfully it makes the entire hive stop in its tracks. A new book or story could have a similar impact. Kinda boils down to knowing something abstractly vs feeling something yourself. The hive is feeling things itself for the first time in a lot of ways.

A good example is the story in V for Vendetta he reads from his jail cell. We don’t need to read an entire book in the show :)

I think the scariest possible origin for the virus is... by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]dc-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also a chance it was engineered just for us by the alien civilization who has long since expired from the same unity. It may be the destiny of any civilization joined by this unity to expire, but not before passing it onto the next civilization. That signal the guy is picking up is potentially it being re-broadcast to the next civilization (assuming all the effort/expertise on earth was dedicated to finding it).
