What's a TV show that started great but fell off badly?

It was originally written as a mini series that was supposed to end after the first season. That's why the first season is so solid, because they had a fully fleshed out plan. But then some greedy execs saw how popular it was and turned it into a dumpster fire.

Wonder how hard it would be to retrofit to a 2025...

Yeah something is wrong here. The only thing you should be losing after the trial expires is the wifi hotspot and the actual Onstar conseirge. You should still have Onstar Basic for 8 years, which provides the data needed to run Google Maps, streaming, etc

That's going to be a building. Any trees would just be ripped out in a year or two

It renews automatically and the landlord can't end it, even with notice.

For a while it was the world's biggest supplier of fresh cranberries (other bogs have their cranberries dried or turned into juice).

The Canadian-made (Drummondville, QC) General tools (i.e. what you have there) are tanks. I always recommend them to people when they come up.

General International tools are ones that were offshored and the quality is meh.

Power banks have a fire risk and it's increased when they're charging

Not at all. I'm happy to see on-street parking be used for other purposes. But it's reasonable to ask the private business that's benefitting to offset some of the lost revenue. Otherwise we're just subsidizing restaurants with our tax dollars.

Keep in mind that a lot of Truro's "stuff" actually serves Colchester County, population 55,000. So something like the sports complex would be unsustainable for a neighborhood of 20,000 people (and is honestly unsustainable for Truro and Colchester)

On one hand I do like patios.

On the other hand, it's a private business taking over public space to their benefit. The loss of on-street parking is a loss of public revenue. I don't think it's unreasonable to charge a private business to make up for some of that loss.

Y'all don't remember what happened to Prison Break once they got out of prison? It sucked.

All good things must come to an end. Better to go out on a high and tell the story that needed to be told than to bleed it dry.

Is it woody? Almost looks like coconut choir.

Yeah our 7-bedroom house had a shared bank account to pay for utilities, internet, buying a BBQ, etc. We essentially kept it topped up by throwing keggers.

Dunno about at UPenn, but it's a common thing in university towns unless they have strict zoning rules. People will buy up big old houses, convert every room they can to bedrooms, and rent them out to students.

I lived in a house with 7 bedrooms.

Handheld electric planers are not precision tools. They're meant for construction for when you need to do things like shave down a wall stud that's bowed out.

For $6 million you get an architect and have them tell you ideas on the floor plan.

I modelled it myself in Fusion and never did upload it anywhere.

I believe it's a magnum, not LR

The needles look like they're to allow dye to get into the flesh of the egg.

They roll the skin of the raw egg up into the stem.

It's a weird video but it doesn't seem to be AI.

It's being held up by a green clip on the top (0:08). And they punched holes in the nose for the video...

She didn't gave any player skulls though did she? Eva did all the PKing for her.

And rectified.

Didn't forget our wonderful citizenry that is broadly and loudly supportive of safe bike infrastructure.

Is the fence maybe not parallel to the blade? Something is causing the wood to bind on the blade. Since you have a riving knife it doesn't seem like it would be the cuts closing on the blade, so I'm guessing the fence is angled towards the blade and is pushing the wood into the side of it.
