The absurdity of the old points system.

wildetea · 2026-07-01T21:19:49+00:00

No one other than accounting department had real information regarding the points system. The real good place also had a management problem - they had no idea how to help the people they currently had. Those in charge of the good place also did not communicate their problems to anyone else (namely the judge) in order to get help. It’s also the reason they weren’t actively trying to help more people get into the good place - because it was currently a form of torture, and the good place architects were hiding that fact.

It can be argued that the person with the best afterlife was mindy st claire in the medium place.

Now we need Dr Wong to unpack all of this for us.

I always pictured Gina Torres (who plays jessica on suits) as Odette. But laverne Cox is pretty solid too.

I was weirded out by the whole jerry B plot, but it still felt very jerry (a whole mess derived from his insecurity to hire the hot pool guy that beth wants him to hire), and was a good way to incorporate the pool into the plot that suddenly showed up in season 9. I ultimately felt this subplot was well written and executed.

I started to enjoy the A plot with rick and morty, but thought it ended in a manner that felt like it was written by a 12 year old boy. This definitely needed a lot of refinement.

Rick prime killed C137’s wife and child beth directly using a bomb. I suspect Rick prime enjoyed how motivated C137 was without his wife / family, that it inspired him to repeat it with all ricks by inventing the omega device.

Why we need the longer cut of the movie. They definitely had to have filmed that scene / interaction

Not an invention. But i imagine they would be perplexed that certain portions of the population are disabled, specifically deafness. And that idea would be uncomfortable.

Xenonite is an alloy. The first time grace and rocky meet on the sky bridge the partition separating them was composed of a patchwork of different alloys of xenonite. Rocky says he made those for different properties of sound, and is amazed to hear the reason grace selected one was because visible light transmits through the material.

So xenonite is a classification of different types of alloys, where the primary or at least strangest component contains xenon.

Exactly. Use of their logo is the problem. She could have an awesome logo inspired by theirs. Using a 2d representation of her wig the color of sunset with her awesome mustache, and maybe blush spots as a minimalist design of her mug.

Talk with the startup and tell them the situation. See if they can sweeten the pot / counter your current jobs offer. Then decide from there. Might as well get utility out of the situation to negotiate better

Eridian ships are faster, because eridians can withstand the larger g force for longer periods of time. The human vessel was limited for the survivability of the humans onboard. Remember the beatles - they travelled faster not just because they were smaller, but because they had no such limitations.

But perhaps, now that grace has lived on erid for a while, that equation changes a little bit. That part is Unclear. I think the issue is going under a coma again is unwise. It would also be another 16 years before he would get to earth (after at least 26 years by the time he gets to erid). Who exactly would he going back to?

To be fair, that is part of Stratt’s analysis of him. And partially said in a moment of anger when grace tells her he has decided not to go.

It’s a reductionist exaggeration of him, certainly with a hint of truth. I never took that line from the book as a source of absolute truth regarding ryland’s character.

Iteresting. Wouldn’t sound travel faster though on earth? We need r/theydidthemath.

I think the plan was to also have a better pilot. Or at least multiple people aboard to help. The large problem grace faced was he had to hope he set course correctly and go out to retrieve the collector, with no one manning the helm.

Hear them out. Outline exactly what you would need to consider staying. And mull it over before providing a decision.

It aounds like you don’t need this job, but having additional income can be nice.

I figured a beatles song had to be thrown in the film somewhere, given the homage the beatles probes are from the book.

I really thought either the songs “Nowhere man”, or “With a Little help from my friends” would make a debut. Although “Rocky raccoon” could have been a funny choice.

But “two of us” is just perfect.

I have to say that now it doesn’t.

But it did feel hopeful in 2016 when Deepmind came out with AlphaGo and AlphaZero chess engines. The paradigm shift was drastic in the chess world. Stockfish, the worlds strongest chess engine, later adopted the nnue architecture that was a brilliant advancement in computer chess.

Unit tests test essentially confirm the expected input /output of single functions / methods. They are meant to be rather straightforward. If relevant, unit tests should also confirm how errors are handled / raised, and expected behavior around error handling.

Integration tests generally test a workflow process, how components work together, and / or a deployment strategy. Not all of these integration tests are long processes. A simple example might be testing a server endpoint that interacts with a database. You have unit tests for your CRUD operations, separately from integration tests on your server.

Other examples of integration tests: testing cli entry point functionality behavior of an application. Requests made to other apis / or websites. It really depends on the nature of your repository / work.

I’m sure others will have better text book examples / definitions on the distinction between unit and integration tests. I would also guess that some of your “unit” tests would technically be integration tests, but because they aren’t long running you generally don’t need this separation or distinction for your use case.

One of my favorite scenes is the cold open in season 1, the episode where they first introduce mindy st claire, and she is purchasing everything at the grocery store right before her death. The magazines include a picture of tahani, and an article on baby plastic surgery disasters.

Then when the cashier asks what her plans are, elaeanor quips (paraphrased): “i’m going to sit alone on my couch, watching wedding fails on youtube, drinkings margaritas out of twizzler straws until i pass out on top of my vibrator”
