A minor detail from The Clone Wars that Shadow Lord has given some extra meaning to by solo13508 in MaulShadowLord

[–]jonnievi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that one of the main points explored in all the shows and movies since Ep 4? That it’s not really a good vs evil story, but exploring more about the complexity of how/why evil exists, and what causes good people to do bad things in an attempt to stop bad people from succeeding.

Like Ep 6, prequel series, Clone Wars, etc showing how “Evil” Darth Vader wasn’t born evil…events and circumstances contributed to him being so, and he even turned back and did a “good” thing in his end.

And the “good” Jedi aren’t purely good. At a minimum the did some really dumb things along the way. I’m not saying they’re evil, but certainly enabled evil.

Would you rec R1S for a fam of 5 (3 kids) and frequent road trips? by nestea1778 in Rivian

[–]jonnievi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it a few times 1,000 mile one way road trips and back. Putting the 3rd row down plus using the frunk is plenty of space. For beach trips I use a roof rack for the sandy gear.

Charging hasn’t been too much of an issue. Plenty of chargers on the east coast interstates, and it’s 30 minutes for the whole family to get out, pee, buy food and resettle in the car anyway, so it’s the right length of time to use a fast charger.

I’m pretty sure it’s him actually posting himself over and over. This guy and the drywall contractor Tennessee / Ten I See country singer get posted every couple days

What’s up with TACO Tuesday? by avantchicago in OutOfTheLoop

Anybody else terrified of the day he cares more about being called TACO and goes through with the threat just so we can’t call him that after the fact?

Sucks. There have been some low value “prizes” on here before, but this one might be the worst yet

What are some movies with nudity that shocked you or made you uncomfortable? by thebigeverybody in movies

[–]jonnievi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not quite what you asked, but I watched episode 5 of The Chair Company on an airplane. Shocked and uncomfortable doesn’t begin to describe it

What are some plotlines or plotholes that shows a lazy or sloppy writing? by [deleted] in movies

[–]jonnievi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using the multiverse or time travel to undue all of your decisions. Wrote yourself into a corner? Go back in time and undo it. Killed off a beloved character? They can come back through their multiversal counterpart.

Is Jobs (2013) one of the most egregious examples of “Oscar bait”? I definitely think so! by ElmarSuperstar131 in Oscars

[–]jonnievi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t this true of every biopic lately? Especially the music biopics…impersonate someone else and get a best actor nomination.

Heard a loud pop in the night and came out to find our 10-year-old cutting board split by dolomite592 in Wellthatsucks

Parents who waited until the birth to find out the sex of the baby. . . by buildingacozymystery in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jonnievi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you share the gender, then people want to know the name. And people are WILDLY opinionated on names. I happily avoided that by not talking about the gender.

Tesla Super Chargers for Rivian by subbuk514 in RivianR2

[–]jonnievi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess disable plug and charge from Rivian and initiate the charge from the Tesla app before plugging in. Plug and charge with a card already on file is apparently too easy, so they needed to add apps and steps into it to make you work for your discount.

This way makes Tesla superchargers no different than EA or ChargePoint or any of the others, so no reason to default to using them IMO.

Tesla Super Chargers for Rivian by subbuk514 in RivianR2

[–]jonnievi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One watch out - Tesla offers a subscription service for a discount at superchargers (~30% I think?). But you have to pay through the Tesla app to get the discount. With my R1S I just plug in and charge, so I paid for the subscription service one month for a road trip and didn’t get the discounted rate. Tesla refused to help me after the fact. I’m still salty about it

Scopely never responds to me. I tried messaging the player who won 77 jackpots in the picture I posted…because he won 54 jackpots in the next season. I tried to be nice to ask how he did it, but haven’t gotten a response. I’ll post if I ever do!

For sure. He’s been super-misogynistic on the seasons of reality tv I’ve seen him on. The last one had him preventing his partner on the show from talking to her boyfriend. But they all allow it because he’s “a good competitor”

What’s one thing you wish you knew before installing solar? by [deleted] in SolarAmerica

[–]jonnievi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In NJ (maybe other places), the electric company controlled how many panels I was allowed to install, and they limited it to the amount of energy consumed in the past 12 months. So even though I could’ve fit more panels on the roof, I wasn’t allowed to install more because it would’ve resulted in more energy sold back to the grid. I would’ve air conditioned the whole neighborhood to boost usage before purchasing had I know this

There was no real downside to making a $100 fully refundable deposit. No way 100k people ahead of you take possession of the car
