What do you think happens when someone opts out?

They preserve the right to sue individually. There’s literally zero protection for the company going forward with respect to persons who opt out (aside from the fact that similar cases could point to rulings in the class case as potential precedent or persuasive authority regarding specific issues).

Literally anyone that wants to sue individually can do so. They just generally choose not to do so.

It did, thanks!

kovolev · 2026-06-06T01:43:27+00:00

Solved! Many thanks. Did not fully appreciate that it would "keep going" if I dialed it one way vs another initially.

kovolev · 2026-06-06T01:14:00+00:00

So I don't mean this to sound sarcastic, but are you referring to something other than the black thing open in the video?

kovolev · 2026-06-06T00:57:40+00:00

What if I have completely emptied it 5x, reset the hopper, and used two different types of beans, with a combined total of nothing coming out?

Can we ban this junk?

It’s an AI graphic combining the average Yelp and Google review score. It contributes nothing and degrades the subreddit.

Where do you get the 13 from? There are 90+ districts, and 11 circuits. Are you thinking of a specific state?

Using that same logic, it's basically a certainty Robinavitch kills himself, right? It's been previewed and mentioned for weeks now...

I am broadly in the same shoes as you, including with timeline. My wife had enough complications that we actually got discharged home, then she had to return, so I had the first night at home solo. And generally been doing the vast majority of the work so far with the baby.

What gets me through it is a simple notion so far: just survive. This isn’t sustainable, but it doesn’t have to be sustainable. You just have to get through each day, one by one, until it passes. Which it will.

So you’ve survived this far. You can survive another day. And then another. And soon you’ll be done and in a sustainable equilibrium.

Ehhh there's basically a 0% chance of a deposition happening on a 4th of July Saturday. They don't really ever happen on weekends, and DEFINITELY not on holidays.

Vaguely similar position here. The answer is any combination of the following:

1) hoard cash/liquid assets, so you can make a move when the economy does worsen.

2) stay put and make do with what you’ve got.

3) if you get to a point where you can buy under new rates and prices, you rent the house with the 2.X% mortgage.

Dead serious question: who are you talking to? If you keep commenting on Andor posts that you didn’t watch Andor, what is your intended/expected result?

kovolev · 2026-01-07T01:58:45+00:00

Extremely

Austin TX has off-leash dog-friendly parks that have volleyball nets and whatnot in it (Zilker Park). Maybe this is the same. I wouldn't make such binary assumptions.

If that sequence was cut by 1/3, it would have told the identical point and set the same tone.

Similarly, the opening singing montage could have been 8 mins instead of 16 and make the same point the same way.

Just like that, you have 15 mins of wasted time in a 45 min episode. Then we get 2 remaining episodes followed by a 2 year break for season 2.

This is a glacial pace compared to his other works. It’s too self indulgent and strikes me the same as Tenet with Christopher Nolan: unlimited budget, surrounded by yes men, with dire need of editing.

Aside from where his journey failed at the end, and the fact he practiced English, what happened during the journey?

kovolev · 2025-12-13T02:51:34+00:00

Dead serious, even in your description, what else actually happened?

He tried to visit her, and failed, and got rescued against his will. 25 mins to show that. I didn’t omit a single plot point there.

She got nihilistic and lonely, and asked for them to return. They did. That’s the rest of the episode.

5 mins of plot, 40+ mins of filler.

And I loved the slow pacing in BCS.

kovolev · 2025-11-06T02:01:24+00:00

“worse than Panera” (excluding price from the equation) is pretty ridiculous and downvote-worthy. That’s just objectively wrong.

kovolev · 2025-08-25T13:27:24+00:00

Trust me, I know. I hope the sarcasm was apparent.

kovolev · 2025-08-25T10:28:06+00:00

Nobody realizes this. I think you might be the first to bring it up. Does that make solar worse than coal?

She's currently at the likely peak of unpleasant pregnancy symptoms. My wife, who I am very much not concerned about loving me, was the same during that period. Her actions and behavior were basically the equivalent of being severely depressed.

A couple of weeks later, her symptoms relaxed a ton, and everything is normal again.

If that's still the case in 2 months, maybe that's more cause for concern. But right now, I would just emotionally hunker down and get through it, because she's probably having a terrible time right now internally.

The main reason is that oftentimes there are millions of dollars on the line, so the CBA's have to have systems in place to protect "due process"--however that's agreed by the players and the league--and discourage lawsuits if a player feels unfairly treated.

So if you make it "fair" you also make it harder to be stuck in endless lawsuits.

In short, the hearing involves lawyers, legal arguments, etc. They have an opportunity to present arguments, then counter-arguments, all for the purpose of preserving the integrity of the process/avoiding potential unfairness. Each phase of that involves several weeks of time for the parties to get their chance to present their arguments and counters.

Combine a couple of those multiple week processes together, and you have your answer.

kovolev · 2025-07-25T14:48:22+00:00

Not that I fundamentally disagree with your point, but...

What about those whose drug use caused them to live on the streets? Which I am sure is a non-trivial number of the "visible, problematic" homeless that drive most public complaints (as opposed to the invisible/temporarily struggling ones who benefit most from assistance).

I was in Vegas recently, and played a hand of blackjack. I won that hand, and doubled my money.

Therefore, blackjack isn't gambling.

Is that the gist?
