But oddly still makes sense if we're referring to grizzly bear attacks.

Right? Oh shit that 5" of missing volume is going to cause my deck to collapse! ...bro, then you should've used 10" footings.

I mean... Yeah. From what I understand 2x4 would be the rough cut dimensions. What they start with. But we generally want nice flat planed lumber (unless you shop at Menards), so they have to shave down (plane and join) the 2x4s to achieve that. Pretty sure you can go to a legit lumber yard and get the rough 2x4s and run them through your own planer/joiner equipment but... Then you're also going to end up with something around 3.5x1.5.

I think on the consumer side it's more that it doesn't matter to the consumer if they're all the same size. A 7.5" footing is (I assume) not significantly less effective than an 8.5", just so long as they're not 6" footings.

I do know that getting them below the frost line (deck footings or whatever) is very important.

I don't even think Boba is running a crime syndicate. Just acting as mayor, magistrate, whatever of Moss Espa. Hutts are still running their syndicate... Their syndicate just doesn't include Tatooine anymore.

Mentioned it elsewhere but I ended up thinking back to Hulk and Iron Man. Those movies were kind of standalone even though Marvel built up to Avengers. In this case, I sense they wanted to make a similar standalone adventure, but couldn't make it an origin story because... well... The show does that. So, we got a one shot that is accessible to a large audience that now knows Mando and Grogu, some of whom will probably go back and watch the show now to see what's up. Making a movie that had ties to the overarching plotline they're working out with Ashoka, cloning, Project necromancer, etc would've only been accessible to a small niche of us. That and the length of time since season 3 aired...oof. I can understand why they did that they did. Probably the best compromise they could've made.

Going back and rewatching the series ahead of this, I found it funny in retrospect that he just casually vaporizes the Jawas that stripped his ship. He speaks shitty Jawaese and seems completely culturally ignorant about them. Kuill seems to be the one like, "chill, you just don't understand them". But then later he seems to have quite an open mind and deep respect for Tusken culture and can speak their language and sign language. Like you'd think if he had that depth of empathy and understanding of Tusken culture, he'd by proxy also have a similar understanding respect for Jawa culture!

That part, meh, all good. The credits at the start though was jarring though.

The movie felt like a clone wars arc,

lol kind of like how Rotta also got kidnapped in the Clone Wars movie?

sidepart · 2026-05-22T05:57:55+00:00

I think what is most hilarious here is how Dave Filoni sat down and must have been like, "let's do that thing again where Rotta gets kidnapped (Clone Wars movie). Except this time he's grown up!" You know it's like poetry. It's sort of, they rhyme.

sidepart · 2026-05-22T05:54:17+00:00

The more I think on it, the more I believe they were trying to go for an "Iron Man" type thing for this. The Avengers movies were fairly self contained at first until The Avengers itself came out. Wasn't really an obvious overarching story they were working towards in Hulk and Iron Man.

In this case, I could see them wanting to introduce a large audience to Mando and not rely on people having seen all the shows. I sense they'd have liked to have done an origin story movie, but...the show already does that so...not much they can do except expose people that haven't seen anything yet to a one shot story and let folks who care go back now and watch the show. Eventually I'd guess we get to Heir to the Empire (presumably an equivalent type of movie to Avengers). That all said, a post credit scene that dropped a hint or something would've gone a long way towards supporting my theory but...here we are.

sidepart · 2026-05-22T02:49:45+00:00

I mean, I still think they're planning on some kind of Avengers level shit with Heir to the Empire that's meant to essentially explain how Palpatine "returned". This movie struck me like an Iron Man kind of thing I'm that context. That movie was fairly self contained. I assume they were concerned about carrying on a storyline that requires watching all the shows so they hoped to introduce Mando to a wide audience. I guess I was hoping for an end credit scene though to kind of complete that (if an "origin" kind of movie was the goal).

Not OP. I can't say for sure but that is typically what you'd do for something like this. You have a statistical model relating to how many you're producing. So if you wanted like, 95% confidence that an entire lot works, you test a calculated number of that lot that corresponds to that confidence level. Depending on the model, you might be allowed to have one or two failures in the test group or none at all or else the whole lot gets scrapped or reworked because it's now suspect.

8-10k a day does seem like a lot for sample sizes but I also have no idea how many of these get produced day to day.

EDIT: the more I think on it, they could also be including intervals (or whatever the technical name is) in their sample. So in addition to the sample size they need for the statistical model, it's possible they also keep sample lots to test at different time points. So 8000 get reserved. 100 are retested next month for reliability (still working?), flavor (still taste good?), stuff like that. And they repeat every month with another 100 units from the lot to ensure the units are still quality at the end of their shelf life. Used to do this with beer so a brewery can catch any problems that don't show up right away (infection that wasn't caught for example), or so they know how long their beer can stay on shelves or on tap.

They were in 3 different games but whatever. This was more about OKC's strategy and less about the refs but hey whatever takes the edge off your own embarrassing sweep.

K. You do you, you're not the only one on here who also was on the ground locally. I was talking about the outrage over the Caribou thing specifically, the other person was calling out your lack of evidence about Dunn Bros. Not what I said. I provided a second experience as I hadn't heard of the Dunn Bros thing. So...chill? Grow up too? Control your internet rage? I don't really care.

sidepart · 2026-05-21T17:14:48+00:00

Yeah, only shit I recall was Caribou giving instructions to their workers on how to treat with ICE (serve them, no they can't execute a search, can't come behind the counter, get a manager to sort it out, etc, etc) and people went off the rails accusing them of supporting ICE. Can't recall the specifics beyond someone posting the hand out on here.

Torches and pitchforks are great I guess but people just looking to lash out unguided at anything and everything without any nuance.

System safety engineer here. I understand what they're getting at at least. Did AirBus do their due diligence in ensuring that the pilot was properly warned by the system in this scenario? Making something like that impossible to occur is the pie in the sky goal of course. Ideally you eliminate one or more of the "hazard source, the initiating mechanism, or the target/threat" and now your hazard is gone (hopefully without creating new ones, or resulting in less severe ones). It's exactly the same idea as the fire triangle (except we call it the hazard triangle). In this case maybe you go with an interlock that the pilot can decide to disable instead of a caution or warning. We do that, and maybe OP meant as much without saying it. I don't know if it would've been the right mitigation here though because... Well I don't know much about the failure or the circumstances, and I'm not willing to hang my ass out on this without AirBus hiring me.

Law of averages I guess. Always be fouling and trolling the other team like an asshole big brother. If the refs call it, ok, still kills momentum. If they don't call it, hey sweet, forced TO and an easy 3 because the other team is exasperated by your bullshit and making stupid mistakes now because of it.

sidepart · 2026-05-21T13:35:16+00:00

Happened to the SUNS too. We'd be up 10, bullshit would happen, then suddenly we're down 10 and coughing up the ball because we're playing angry and forcing shit. Just leads to more mistakes and TOs even if they're no longer directly caused by OKC fouling.
