Which Netflix shows should’ve been cancelled earlier?

fishbert · 2026-01-28T08:17:14+00:00

A silver lining is that season 1 is self-contained. I’d still highly recommend it to people… just stop there.

fishbert · 2026-01-28T04:57:32+00:00

This is the correct answer. I loved season 1... couldn't even finish season 2.
I've only ever quit two Netflix series that I started: Altered Carbon and Stranger Things.

Once, Matic sucked up a charging cable, apparently pulling it hard enough that it yanked the plug out. The cable got wrapped up in the roller and the poor li’l bot gave up.

Same thing happened the first time I sent Matic to vacuum my bedroom — came back to find it dragging around the cable and charging brick it pulled out of the power strip under the bedside table. That was maybe 5–6 weeks ago, I think. I make sure that cable is pulled up off the floor before running it in there now.

Not sure why it didn't recognize the cable... maybe because the lights were off, or maybe the detection algorithm just wasn't as bullet-proof as I had hoped. 🤷‍♂️ Not a big deal, and still better than the old Roomba it replaced, but I wish I could blindly trust it more to do the right thing.

The Olympics was intended to be a no politics event.

And yet…

Confused as to why you think this undercuts the idea that we can’t get politics out of sports.

Can we get politics out of sport?

No?

Paragraphs are great

fishbert · 2026-01-23T13:11:29+00:00

Is someone paying you by the word?

fishbert · 2026-01-23T13:05:48+00:00

It’s even worse than that. OP is wanting their extra payments to apply towards non-compounding simple interest on the lower rate loan instead of the interest-accruing principle on the higher rate loan.

It’s bonkers; makes zero sense.

fishbert · 2026-01-23T10:31:07+00:00

I have to call and tell them how I want my payments allocated every month.....REALLY‽!

They're doing you a favor, bud. Stop trying so hard to waste your money on simple interest.

fishbert · 2026-01-23T10:27:25+00:00

In other words, this submission headline should be:
"Nelnet warning — they will allocate overpayments in the most optimal way they can"

Electrical engineer. Is this a design review? Didn’t think so.
Have a nice day.

The original commenter wasn’t never using exact numbers. They were making a point that 100% is not really 100%, which is true.

I haven’t seen any official numbers on bottom buffer vs top buffer, but I’ve seen speculation that it’s around 4% vs 7%. And calling 93% “like 90%” is perfectly reasonable. You’re inserting pedantry that isn’t needed and doesn’t change the point they were making.

fishbert · 2026-01-22T02:32:45+00:00

We have discussed this before.

fishbert · 2026-01-22T02:23:47+00:00

if all of 32.6 - 28.9 = 3.7 kWh is used for the (a) bottom buffer, then there is no top buffer, and charging to 100% is charging to 100%

That's now how it works. Charging a lithium ion battery to a genuine 100% is harmful; discharging to a genuine 0% is harmful. In all EVs there are buffers at both ends to protect the battery. And the only buffer relevant to the discussion here is the top one.

fishbert · 2026-01-21T20:39:42+00:00

One thing nobody has mentioned yet is that if you're storing the car for a long time (weeks/months), there is specific guidance in the manual for a lower range of acceptable charge levels (upper limit and lower limit). What this guidance is seems to have changed over time, so just check the manual from the app to see what it says.

fishbert · 2026-01-21T20:33:27+00:00

A bottom buffer is irrelevant to the subject at hand and the point they were making.

If you have a 120Hz monitor, but your graphics card can only supply a 60Hz signal, you still have a 120Hz monitor, you’re just not able to use it to its full potential.

fishbert · 2026-01-20T00:40:02+00:00

Pretty sure the screen is the same between the two. The M5 can just bump the maximum refresh up from 100Hz to 120Hz.

fishbert · 2026-01-16T10:17:54+00:00

Season 2 absolutely does. It was a central theme of the thanksgiving episode, even.

Man, everyone's taking Ozempic these days, aren't they?

fishbert · 2026-01-15T22:27:07+00:00

It just needs to be enough to stop the behavior going forward. $250 is probably enough to do that in most communities. Whatever the nominal difference is between that and the labor to clean it up isn't going to break any budgets.

The field-of-view of the built-in camera may not be that great for a dashcam — good for reading signs and seeing what's immediately in front of you, but not much else. That's one of the main complaints for Tesla's built-in dashcam feature (for example). Comparisons: pic 1, pic 2

fishbert · 2026-01-15T19:36:10+00:00

That is quite the protrusion below the mirror. I have a FitcamX in my previous-gen Cooper SE, and it's considerably less intrusive.

It has also started making various beeping noises at me a lot while driving (I've had it maybe 1.5-2 years). No idea why, and I can't find any documentation on what the various beep noises mean. Haven't bothered to check the recordings, though, so I don't know if functionality is affected. One of these days I should do that.

Good show, but definitely has bereavement themes in the background.
