I don’t think it was total hot garbage like most. I dislike most of everything to do with the final battle, but the time travel shenanigans are fun as fuck
The proper emailing etiquette is to CC people who don’t need to take action (informational) while those who are emailed directly are expected to do something. At least that’s how I operate.
I have the Rebel Blockade Runner UCS, I tried building it a few times and just couldn't find the right pieces. This set was before Lego started including numbered bags so it's just one big pile of bricks.
Dude you just tickled a part of my brain I haven’t thought about Ina long time. These books filled a ton of empty time at a call center job back in the day.
Boy howdy do I know that frustration all too well. I keep a lot of my spare pieces in a big jar and whenever I go looking for one I know I have - suddenly I don't have one like it at all. What the hell? Are aliens using my spare lego parts to build a painful new form of bumpy anal probe or something? I know I saw that piece in there just two days ago!!!!!
People just HAVE to keep changing established terms to feel special, I guess. For example, I’ve noticed people used to say “X got that Win!”, then it changed to “Y fr earned that W”, and today I saw someone say “Z deserved that dub”.
This is just how language evolved. It is a human phenomena. The slang you picked up was also adapted from other phrases that someone of the older generation will deem more correct.
Well, and now you need it and can’t find it. With your fist clenched you agressively search through the box for that piece, but only after 10 minutes you realize that this piece was indeed in your fist the whole time
I’ve been using Ruffle (ruffle.rs) to play Flash games on mobile for a while. Nice to see I finally won’t have to jump through hoops to put Firefox Nightly into developer mode and force it to install an extension not in the pre-approved list. Maybe it’ll even work on websites this time like it does on desktop and I won’t have to copy Flash URLs into the extension page!
This has to be one of the most horrible tower I have ever seen. Well, every big tower like those are horrible. What, you want big towers like that ? You think that’s how we fix the housing crisis ? Not really…
What is good ubanism then ? 4 to 5 story building max, mixed use, no cars, 5minutes walk to everything you need, great architecture so it’s nice to walk in the neighborhood. That’s what we need. We want human scale, not some horrible bullshit like this. That’s not a city, it’s a nightmare. That’s not beautiful, that’s depressing. That’s not great architecture, that’s just some concrete box stacked on top of each other. If this is what you want, read about ubanism. If you think this is beautiful, you probably have horrible taste. And if you think that’s needed, well, that would be like applying a bandaid on someone that lost his legs. We need a fucking surgery to fix our cities, not that bullshit “let’s build horrible concrete tower that will ruin the land for decades.l, because housing crisis”.
You’ve never been homeless have you? I’ve been homeless. Literally this year. A place to sleep and shit with a lock on the door is way better than a bunch of lying employers and real estate agents sucking me dry while I’m sleeping in the weather and working full time.
Commie blocks are great at that, and certainly better than nothing. They served their purpose really well when they were built, for example, and we can definitely learn from them. But still, quality of life wise, they really aren’t the best. So with all the wealth we currently have, it should be easily possibly to create affordable/free housing that has all the benefits the original commenter demanded. I’d gladly take prefab mega buildings over people living on the streets, but when we get to choose and plan cities for the future, they shouldn’t be our first option.
Apple licenses the content from the creators – that’s true of almost every network and many film distributors as well.
Few distributors make their content in house. 'Netflix Original ’ doesn’t mean it was made by ‘Netflix Studios’ – they don’t exist. What happened was (for a series) that either a complete season or a pilot was shopped around, and Netflix bought the (exclusive) rights, which made that piece of content a Netflix Original. For films, they have usually already been made and are in a limited theatrical run (eg. Festivals) or are being shopped around privately. I imagine a limited few have distribution deals made prior to production, but that’s still not ‘Netflix’ (or Apple) making that content.
Apples launch content (eg. Ted Lasso) was produced to prop up the platform, but the method by which that content was discovered, funded and then licensed is not much different from how a traditional network (like NBC) might function.
