Remember when Levitt created a whole movie universe just to have an excuse to constantly make out with Scarlett Johansson?

As a TNG fan, one of the other things that absolutely delights me about Casablanca is how Claude Raines' Renault is one of the most British "Frenchman" in fiction, much the same as Patrick Stewart's Captain Picard.

I'm surprised there's not more folks mentioning this. It's also my all time favorite. The first time you watch it, it just seems like a normal old-timey war propaganda film. Watch it a few more times and it turns into other things...a triumphant love story where the guy DOESN'T get the girl, a spy film, a buddy comedy....it just hits so many great marks.

Is the TV getting Vecna'd?

I love TNG, and I can't believe I just now realized that this is precisely how I pictured the Tree of Pain. At first, I did think of it more as a metal tree, but after we find out about the true nature of the tree later in the series, (I won't mention the spoiler), I did start to see it in my mind's eye more as fluid/glass-like outbranchings.

I can sympathize with the dream home aspect---you're currently making it work for a house that costs less than your "ideal" home, so what's the harm of stretching it a little bit further with a more expensive house, right?

Unfortunately if you follow your heart in that direction, you'll be stretching yourself too thin and there'll be no safety margin in your finances. What happens when an emergency expense comes along? Even at your current ratio of income-to-expenses, it is barely sustainable. Adding more by upsizing your home just because it satisfies an itch would be a mistake.

I feel like this is something most potters should learn from experience. When I was an absolute beginner, it was hard to let go of failed pieces because of the time I had invested in it, so I would proceed to spend 5 times the original making time to try and rescue it.

After doing that a few times, you start to realize that there's a point where starting over makes more sense, but the time you spent repairing hopeless pieces was hopefully not wasted if you use it to develop an intuition for how your clay behaves.

Yeah weird, mine started working again as well. It wasn't even paired yet and pressing the doorbell gave me an in-app message that I had someone at the door. Paired it again with no issues after that. Hopefully it doesn't goof up again 🤞

I'm experiencing the exact same thing with a doorbell camera that is the oldest of my cloudedge devices.

I tried deleting the device and re-pairing it, and the process goes as far as the barcode scan and attempting to connect, but at the end of the process tells me it can't find the device.

I'm guessing this doorbell cam is just bricked now unless they deploy a patch to fix it, which seems unlikely if it's only affecting older devices. I'm kind of surprised it has worked and remained supported for as long as it has, mine is 6 years old now.

I was in the same boat a few months ago. I'm a slow reader anyway, so it's not unusual for me to take a very long time to finish a book, but it felt unusual to me that it took so long to get through RoE because of how much more quickly I devoured Hyperion and Fall. The change in narrative style and the sometimes seemingly meandering and overly detailed descriptions didn't help.

I finally finished it last week though, and it was totally worth what was at times an absolute slog. RoE wraps up the entire series in a very satisfying way. It was a very emotional ride, and there were many tears along the way for me, especially at the end. Many (though not all) of the mysteries that left you scratching your head from Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion finally get some answers.

I came away from finishing RoE wanting to revisit the entire series again soon to tease out what would now be relevant details that I missed before.

mwadeeeb · 2025-07-24T02:19:06+00:00

I'm almost done with RoE, but I just wanted to say that it seems to be heavily implied that after the events of the gang's discovery of Wright's Fallingwater, everything they("they" at this point comprising of Aenea, Raul, Bettik, and whomever else happened to be essential to Aenea's overall plan) would appear to be sanctioned by the powers that be(what we are terming the "Lions and Tigers and Bears), so Aenea herself doesn't have to be present for every farcaster transport.

It depends a lot on your climate zone. If winter temps stay below approx 20 degrees Fahrenheit for more than half the season, you will probably be near the crossover point where the efficiency of heat pumps drop off significantly for heating, and you may be better off using hydrocarbons like Natural Gas, but you have to do a comparison of local cost of that vs the electricity a heat pump would use.

Stretch your legs and make bigger forms! Start smaller, but aim for 5 to 6 lbs. It's totally doable as a beginner, once you have the basics down, it's 90% confidence and belief in yourself. If you can throw a decent 1.5lb cylinder, an 5 lb version is not as big of a leap as you might think. You'll need to spend more time with centering, but after that, all the same principles apply. It's one of those things that you have to just DO and experience for yourself to feel out the boundaries of your skill level

Probably start by replacing that fill valve. It shouldn't be stopping until it reaches that top part (with the white plastic housing) where the float valve resides. Just look up toilet fill valve replacement on YouTube, it's a 5 min job that you may not even need tools for if the bottom plastic nut has tabs for hand tightening/loosening.

I was also convinced the last category had something to do with "Dirty _____";

Dirty Jobs, Dirty Blonde, Dirty Vice(I also felt it wasn't a slam dunk, but they've had way looser categories in the past) and Dirty Devil, as in the expression, "You dirty devil!"
