My biggest complaint is that the ending of season 1 really just came across as disrespectful to viewers, particularly in light of how long it was between seasons.

Maybe this coloured my opinion of it, but I watched them back-to-back. I didn’t experience that feeling of being disrespected by the wait. I just heard it was good, and watched what was available.

For the first season I felt like it was a really interesting concept, and I was excited to see how it developed. The second season just seemed like it’d lost its way to me, and they were drawing it out.

Meh. The first season was good, but I feel like it pretty much could’ve ended there. The second one felt kind of drawn out and dull to me.

I don’t really care about the rewards, but I did roll my eyes at the email.

I just got back from a year in Austria, where I was paying €9,90 a month (with the first 3 months free!) for unlimited calling and 60GB of data with Europe-wide roaming, and Public seemed like the best deal at ~3x the cost for less.

Canadian phone plans really do suck.

Hopefully the speech recognition is better than whatever the fuck most online video platforms use for automatic subtitles at the moment.

Thanks to Concorde, Phil Collins was able to play at both the London and Philadelphia Live Aid concerts. He Played in London, got a helicopter to Heathrow, Concorde to NY and then another helicopter to Philadelphia.

1.13 cups of mirin or aji mirin .38 cup regular soy sauce .38 cup dark soy sauce .75 cup of water

I would like you to elaborate on these intriguing numbers

*edit, just saw your final line… how many eggs was it originally for?!

While normally I’d agree with you, this is custard we’re talking about here.

I’m willing to give it a go, myself.

Username checks out

When I was a lad (~30 years ago) hash was all we had. So much so that I don’t recall if I’ve ever actually smoked weed.

Not a robot.

Bear in mind that these are British Conservatives, who are aligned more toward the US Democratic Party than what an American would consider “conservative”. They also have a black leader.

You should be able to opt-out thought, right? Just deny it access at the OS level.

iOS doesn’t seem to be asking me for any permissions FWIW.

TBF you do have to be pretty fucking brave to live there.

Calm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.

I bend my arm and put my hand under my face, thereby converting it into shoulder pain.

That’s because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

Buyers remorse be like

I get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.

I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.

But isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.

The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.

Yeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.

Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.

And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.
