  1. I think you’re right, but it would have to display Orville-level writing to make it good.
  2. He will choose Patrick Rothfuss to finish it.
  3. I’ve had a bed fan for years. The blowback is nasty if you rip one.

    The Boys

    I’m caught up with The Boys to watch Gen V season 2. It’s not perfect because there are some adult YA elements, but it’s a better ensemble cast than The Boys. A more coherent storyline, too.
  5. It’s a good SF movie. Not a good Star Trek movie.
  6. Nice. I got TDAP and Covid in my left and flu in my right on Friday. Still feeling it two days later. Not as bad as yesterday, but not great.
  7. If any of us travel back in time, they should agree to print that thread to PDF.
  8. I use IOS 18.6 or .7 on both my iPad and IPhone. Maybe one problem on Surly in the last week or so where the Charlie Kirk thread in DT didn’t load. No other problems. iPhone’s a 15 pro max. iPad is an old pro that’s at least five years old.
  9. I stalled out on Fairy Tale somewhere between ep 120 and 150. Can’t imagine tackling One Piece, at least the anime.
  10. Well, have you seen any non-white characters in the alternate dimension?
  11. So Season 8 ended last week. When I didn’t get a new ep notification this morning, I had to pause. As a season finale, that hit like anhedonic premature ejaculation.
  12. In Season 7, we got a speaking version of Diane in the hole. Beth Prime says that her mother left Rick in one of the early seasons.
  13. With Evil Morty’s exit from the finite central curve, there is a predictable story arc of bringing in characters from outside the curve to further deconstruct the Rick myth and create new conflict. Based on this season, it might be an “evil” Summer. Maybe an “evil” Diane. (I’d guess the omega device only applied to the central finite curve. Rick Prime probably overstated its range.) Until the new conflict arises, we’re stuck with somewhat lame episodic writing.
  14. It got better as the episode progressed. I don’t know if it was because I watched it after 2 am, but it improved from incredibly stupid to funny.
  15. I’m not sure it is better than the one where the Beths hook up or Froopyland, but there are some really great moments.
  16. This ep was mostly boring. It had some good points, but it feels like they’re just going through the motions. Filler.
  17. Was recently surprised by Delicious in Dungeon. Sounds stupid, but it works because they take it seriously but not too serious.
  18. They tried, but it was just a sloppy, tired mess.
  19. Two thoughts. One, I think the show runners were fucking with us with the acoustic guitar. Like, let’s make a crazy set that would not have survived and start an even more over-the-top musical number…and then just kidding. Two, flat, potato face with dead eyes works well at the end.
  20. Same. I held my breath when they said, “Robertum”. I like his books and social media, but, TBH, I’m not sure about his administrative skills. My only memory from his time at CDW was him telling my bishop to issue something under his own imprimatur because of the intentional logjam in his dicastery.
  21. If it is designed with a space for a head unit and easily accesible wiring conduits for speakers and dash cams, I could see it for people like me, those of us who work from home and just need a second car for the odd commute.
  22. In a proper RIF? No protections. Fired without cause as a probationary employee as part of an illegal RIF? Can pursue an OCI or MSPB appeal or whatever applies to his position. If the appeal leads to reinstatement, he would want to try to time it after the agency does its RIFs. Probationary employees are only above rehired annuitants and term employees when it comes to seniority. However, even that may not matter. GSA, for example, RIF’d entire departments without regard for the normal order of things.
  23. So sorry for your loss; my sincerest condolences.
  24. …attack the left flap with renewed vigor.
