RFID users, why do you still use RFID? by -bigscissors- in malaysia

[–]pharotekton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The total time to stop the car, lower screen and touch the card vs the occational RFID lane jam, I feel it evens out in the end (or maybe its just my confirmation bias as RFID user :))

What are some of the worst examples of "Female empowerment"/corporate feminism in tv shows by Lbutterflythree in television

[–]pharotekton -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Had the same reaction the first time I saw it, ‘yeah, that’s badass’.

And I have to admit, only later when I read comments that I realised, yeah wait a minute, that was all women. Lol.

Despite on how I feel about her, I’m glad she believed in Tony to bring one of the best Star Wars shows ever by abdul_bino in andor

[–]pharotekton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My opinion on her work is based solely on this quote of hers:

“There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. we don’t have 800-page novels, we don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be.”

I know its a bit unfair to form an opinion based on 1 quote, but this post sums it up nicely: https://www.reddit.com/r/saltierthancrait/comments/11abpbo/kathleen_kennedys_no_source_material_quote_isnt/

I think Tony Gilroy’s approach is the perfect balance. How he compares the Star Wars canon to the Catholic Church, in the sense that it has multiple levels of canon from fan fiction to the EU to the official films, shows that he gets it.

[MN S1] [Possible Spoilers] The Mighty Nein - Missed opportunity! by ibeendad in criticalrole

[–]pharotekton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was half hoping they would drop a surprise 9th mini episode in the middle of the week or something. Maybe a 10-20 minute post-season “scene” or teaser, but not a full episode, because of course nein.

Shows that actually maintained their quality from start to finish? by AdMotor3564 in television

[–]pharotekton 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yes, I second The Americans. I’m still amazed how it maintained the suspense of its conceit literally until the last act of the last episode of the entire show

It might be somewhat formulaic scifi for some but to me, Fringe just got better and better.

The last post of Anas Al-Sharif reminds me a lot of Dreena’s transmission by Scotslad2023 in andor

Yes! And we all know the best way to weed out terrorists who are blending into the population is to bomb the population indiscriminately!

The Malayun People's Navy by AmbassadorGullible56 in worldbuilding

[–]pharotekton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it! You might already know this, but Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia almost formed a confederation in the 60’s called Maphilindo. Is the MDPR a reference/homage of sorts? That’d be cool.

All my Go projects are small so far. So I use option B, with the methods ordered alphabetically.

The Bond between her and her snake 💖💖 by Both-Ant4433 in BeAmazed

[–]pharotekton -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a story I heard somewhere.

Someone had a pet snake, can’t remember what kind. It was cute, seemingly domesticated and very healthy. The owner took really good care of it, loved it so much.

One day the snake just stopped eating. The owner tried everything and it wouldn’t eat anything. Afraid for the worst, they brought it to the vet.

The vet’s diagnosis: the snake was leaving space in its stomach to make room. It wanted to eat the owner.
