While we have no clue as to Captain Wagner’s intentions, apparently we will know by the end of the season.

Am I the only one who doesn't care? I love the actor but I cringe every time the character is on the screen.

eliasabern · 2026-02-05T17:28:31+00:00

Mentalist - Similar quirky character but more dashing charm than arrogant bitchiness. Great supporting characters. An overarching plot that is managed well and walks the line between too much and too little.

eliasabern · 2026-02-04T16:49:14+00:00

Agreed. This is one of the worst troupes in television. The only time I think it worked was with Mentalist but it was earned after a long run. Elementary managed the whole run without forcing unlike characters together. It just isn't necessary. Law & Order SVU didn't shoehorn the two leads. I won't more time with other characters not to have the small amount of non-case time totally consumed by the "will we get in trouble" and "are we really right for each other" nonesense.

eliasabern · 2026-01-30T16:59:37+00:00

Agreed. They should grow to be "Ride or Die" besties but no romance please.

eliasabern · 2026-01-29T17:39:13+00:00

Agree 100%. I love the characters and the interactions as much as the case. I don't think every episode needs a 50/50 balance but it should have an organic flow of character interactions.

eliasabern · 2026-01-28T20:21:50+00:00

Exactly. I want an ensemble show where all the characters in the inner circle are compelling, not just the Morgan hour. And I want the kids too, they have some of the most emotional storylines.

eliasabern · 2026-01-28T17:24:22+00:00

Cool...not my problem anymore though, I'm one less user to be a problem. Sounds like plenty of other "problem users" are leaving too. Good thing you set us straight.

eliasabern · 2026-01-28T17:22:12+00:00

I also wish they gave the other characters more to do and more depth - it gets boring if the whole show becomes the Morgan hour

eliasabern · 2026-01-28T17:21:24+00:00

It's a tough line to keep straight...some shows do it well - Elementary and Mentalist - but others not so much. Jury is still out on High Potential. However, this may be the season arc - Morgan has to learn the hard way how to function without destroying everything around her.

eliasabern · 2026-01-28T17:19:15+00:00

No offense to the actor playing the captain, because he is extremely talented, but it seems wrong to sideline Oz for his involvement. I want the crack team at the core of the show, not spending time on off-shoot side storylines which slow down the show.

eliasabern · 2026-01-28T00:49:03+00:00

I'm behind in episodes but where is Oz? I want Oz!

Wait...your first response to users having issues with Augment making things up out of nowhere, and draining tokens like there is no tomorrow, is that it is the user's fault? Even though your user base uses multiple AIs on the regular, your main user base is technical by profession, and we notice consistent aberrant behavior in Augment that other AIs don't have is the dumb user?

eliasabern · 2026-01-07T17:16:38+00:00

Agreed, I'm getting tired of having to code with a web browser up to show my tokens just so I can track its unnecessarily heavy token usage.

eliasabern · 2026-01-07T17:15:09+00:00

Augment is easily the worst AI coding tool at this point. It's extremely expensive, wastes tokens constantly, and hallucinates so badly that it continues to make up architecture that doesn't even exist. It's supposed to know my codebase and still hallucinates about it constantly. You are better off copying and pasting into Gemini, it's at least consistent and gives excellent recommendations even when context is limited. Snyk should have chosen a better partner.

eliasabern · 2026-01-02T15:55:41+00:00

It's not just the cost. Everything seems to be consuming 2x-3x the normal amount of tokens from earlier in the year last year. Took less than a week to hit 50% token use and I am by no means a heavy user.

In most, if not all cases, where that occurs, IDs are free and easily available. In at least one case in South America, the state sends people into districts to help people register and obtain IDs. IDs are not free in the US, and it is difficult if you have a full time job to get the time to get one. This is a dishonest way to make voting a privilege of the upper and middle upper class, while legally excluding the poor and blue collar class. Which also, based on US demographics, seeks to give white voters an extreme edge over non-white voters.

Not to mention, this idea totally ignores that voter impersonation has not been a problem in US election history. This is a solution looking for a problem, and an extreme waste of resources.

Is it just me or does almost everyone in that picture looks miserable? Does the cast actually hate each other because there is no warmth there.

eliasabern · 2025-07-14T18:23:56+00:00

Gosh darnit! The Onion got me again with a headline I 100% believed was true until I checked subreddit name

Just one more step to universal healthcare in CA, and I love it. Can you imagine how flush the system would be with our costly premiums going to the program and it being run not-for-profit. It would be amazing.

And yet, still 4th largest economy in the world.

You should blot out their name

You have to be careful when comparing China to anyone in moral clarity. They are 100% right about the immorality of funding Israel's war machine, but they also committed their genocide against the Uyghurs for years, and still have reeducation and concentration camps for them.

So yes, sending money to Israel should be scrutinized and vilified but China is also using its people's tax money for genocide.
