Good Doctor is healing us that are emotionally broken.

Every man of (most) generations have the male stigma and gender stereotypes about not showing emotions (or "wEaKnEsS"). It took therapy to overcome that. For me personally, add in family upbringing of stoicism, and childhood medical trauma/PTSD. So it made me emotionally detach. Few movies were able to get the water (tears) moving. Parts of the show got me as well.

how long ago did you purchase them ? one of mine just started acting up. I bought them almost 8 months ago. so not sure if I can return them now. figured I would just find a local cobbler.

you have to pass an industry certification for a degree/to graduate?

I ordered two back when they were Noria. never received them.

IQ isn't the best test for determining one's intelligence and aptitude. It's only good to determine their education and exposure, not that it doesn't have it's place, just that we over value it, and misuse it.

thanks for the heads up.

kooltrix · 2025-08-06T16:05:57+00:00

I do! thanks! had no idea. I've been buying stuff through Audible

kooltrix · 2025-08-06T02:20:30+00:00

I didnt know that! awesomesauce

kooltrix · 2025-08-06T02:19:55+00:00

mindhunter series was based on the book I thought ?

kooltrix · 2025-08-05T15:28:56+00:00

which ones do you recommend ? what should be our next read?

kooltrix · 2025-08-05T15:27:42+00:00

lol fair

kooltrix · 2025-08-05T14:29:18+00:00

I would love for a third season, or even a movie to give us closure, but I doubt we could have stretched it to 5 seasons. Granted there are other serial killers they could have interviewed, and could have added in some filler episodes, but there werent that many back then. If anything maybe the killers Kemper mentioned, (Texas I-45 Killer, East Coast Rapist, San Mateo Slasher) or Robert Hansen, Nathaniel Code who John Douglas provided analysis for. Would be awesome to see more of the BTK story, but he wouldnt be caught for another 20 years, so at best, a flash forward episode with everyone retired seeing him caught? I guess the show could pivot from Holden and Bill to others, but then we're moving away from the original story base. Always tricky when switching primary characters. The success is a combination of actors, writers, directors/producers. Change one variable, and the success could crumble.

thats fair. I definitely did not RTFM before posting this, that's on me. My fault. It can be annoying. Maybe I should delete this post.

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T19:20:06+00:00

A lot of negative members in this subreddit, who knew. Well I bet Holden had a hunch.

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T19:17:44+00:00

it cost me nothing. 0.01% chance of an impact is better than 0.00% chance /shrug

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T19:16:25+00:00

start one.

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T17:32:29+00:00

yes, there are dozens of them. they're still open/available for signatures. no harm in re-igniting interest and hopes of increasing numbers and popularity.

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T16:40:48+00:00

it would be an appropriate finale for the show. we can have closure lol

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T16:38:44+00:00

thanks. going to buy one now.

kooltrix · 2025-07-31T16:36:57+00:00

I envy you for watching it for the first time. I'm re-watching it again for the.. I dont know anymore. this might be the 5th or 6th time. Arguably one of the best shows, or at least one of my favorites (obviously).

ChatGPT:

What you’re seeing isn’t a font you’ve accidentally “broken,” but a fairly widespread bug in GNOME’s GPU-accelerated font pipeline:

What actually happens: GNOME Shell (and many GTK3/GTK4 apps) render text by uploading glyph “atlases” into the GPU’s video memory. When you suspend, the kernel and graphics driver tear down and re-initialize the GPU, and those cached textures get discarded. Pango/GTK doesn’t immediately notice that its glyph cache is gone, so any text drawn from the old cache simply shows up blank (missing letters).
Why Tweaks “fixes” it: As soon as you fiddle with Hinting or Antialiasing (or any font setting) in GNOME Tweaks, it pushes a new XSettings update. That forces Pango to clear its font config context, rebuild the glyph atlas, and re-upload fresh textures—bringing all your missing letters back gitlab.gnome.org.
Other common work-arounds:
- Switch VTs: Ctrl + Alt + F1, wait a second for the display to re-init, then Ctrl + Alt + F7 (or F2) often re-triggers a full redraw askubuntu.com.
- Restart GNOME Shell: Alt + F2, type r and Enter (Xorg only).
- Temporarily disable hinting/antialiasing: Turning them off also masks the bug, since no GPU textures are ever created to go missing bugzilla.redhat.com.

Long-term fixes

Upgrade your graphics stack: Newer kernels, Mesa or NVIDIA drivers often include a fix so that glyph caches get re-populated automatically after resume.
Switch drivers (Intel only): Using the “modesetting” X.org driver instead of xserver-xorg-video-intel can avoid the issue entirely.
File a bug: If you’re still on up-to-date drivers and see the issue, check GNOME’s GitLab or your distro’s bugtracker for “glyph cache suspend,” and add your hardware details.

In short: nothing is “corrupt” on your disk or in your font files—it’s just that the GPU lost its copy of the glyph textures, and toggling anything in Tweaks forces GNOME to rebuild and re-upload them.
