Fucking with and/or interfering with someone trying to bring their lost pet home is in the top 3 dick moves you can do as a human.

Thoughts:

1. Rhea Seehorn can totally carry an episode by herself. That was pretty epic in and of itself.
2. The drone fail 😅
3. I found it interesting how “they” firewalled themselves from Carol by only communicating by recording and interacting via drones. Carol definitely seems to have spooked them.
4. Granted, she did drug and nearly kill one of them so can’t blame “them”
5. I wonder what was on the second take of the second video we saw her record?
6. I’m sad I didn’t wait a bit longer to watch this episode because it’s going to be even longer before we ind out what she found at the food packaging plant.

I’d have to go back and rewatch (ok, you twisted my arm), but maybe Helen’s reaction was “standard” for the portion of the population where joining was fatal. I don’t recall any other failed joinings on screen so don’t have anything for comparison.

In ep 2 when Carol had a tantrum at Zosia and all the joined went into a coma (and many died as a result), it may be similar to Helen’s case. (Thinking out loud with that one). If it was similar, then that could be another hint.

If no one died during the initial joinings, but people died during the mass joining, how can they be sure they won’t kill Carol when they force her to join?

I don’t think they can be sure but also it may be an acceptable risk considering force-assimilating and the risk of death during assimilation are both loopholes to their “do no harm” ethos (I haven’t seen ep 4 yet so if anything revealed there contradicts that, I apologize)

Just a plain, simple tailor 😎

Literally the best thing you can do for your experience here is just start blocking any account that starts throwing out political labels at any other account. Just block and don’t look back.

Considering I can’t even identify the flavor by the label, I’m gonna say, no, probably not.

How the fuck can you expect to be inconspicuous when you’re bringing studio equipment to a restaurant?

Lol, there’s a actually a trope for that: Refuge in Audacity. It’s probably one of my favorite tropes, TBH.

Usually, when characters do something illegal or socially unacceptable, they’ll try to be discreet about it: keep their misdeeds small and subtle enough that either no one knows what they’ve done, or no one cares. Sometimes a character does the exact opposite — take their misdeeds so far over-the-top that there’s no way they can’t be noticed — and they still get away with it.

The key is to be so audacious in how you violate the rules (whether they be laws or a moral/ethical code) that no one can believe you did it.

Might need to dig up my old TV Tropes account and add this article to the “Real Life” examples.

Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.

How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?

Basically shit like that (it’s not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I’ve enabled “turbo” on my block button).

I guess what I’m saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won’t be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.

I’ve blocked so many accounts on here that are clearly not Americans just straight up trying to incite shit in US news / politics communities. I don’t know what’s worse: the number of upvotes those get or how transparent they are.

Not sure if ADHD specific or a symptom of being “on the spectrum” or a bit of both (have never been diagnosed either way but show all the signs), but I have a very low capacity “social battery” and am very sensitive to noise. The end result is I crave (relative) solitude and quiet or else I’m useless at getting anything done.

An unmanaged switch is just a single plane where all ports are equal. All ports share OSI layers 1 and 2. Anything you plug into port 24 can always reach anything you have plugged into port 3.

Managed switches (also sometimes known as “smart” switches) provide additional features on top of that. The most useful is VLANs (virtual LANs) which let you segregate traffic. Two ports on different VLANs share the same physical layer (layer 1) but are separated at the data link layer (layer 2). This lets you create up to 4096 different networks on the same switch; each network is isolated from the other. If port 24 and port 3 are on different VLANs, then they will not be able to communicate unless they can reach a common router at layer 3.

Additionally, managed switches let you do things like disable/enable ports (for security, power savings, etc), enable port mirroring, and combine multiple ports into an aggregation group (e.g. bond four 1 Gb links into one 4 Gb link).

The available features on a managed/smart switch vary by manufacturer and, often, by the license level (sadly common in enterprise gear). VLANs, port control, mirroring, and LAGs are usually common “baseline” features, though.

Or, you know, we could just quit it with this generational shaming nonsense. It’s not like human beings are complex creatures or anything.

Not my jam (not even sweet potato jam lol) but I can at least see why people like it. I don’t hate sweet potato dishes, but don’t really care for them either.

Also unclear on that. But what is clear is OP apparently expects everyone to re-make a funny meme that everyone in the world can understand because they have to make a mountain out of a molehill and lack the imagination necessary to fill in the bl*nks.

BOGO (Buy One, Get One [Free]) is a well-known term.

Doctor in Front: Everyone stay behind me. I’m a doctor of art history. It’s finally my time to shine.

How many other animals did they put through a sieve to reach this conclusion? How many?!

Which begs the question why not magnets at the top of the building to help pull the electricity up?

Guess it depends on the height, but yeah. Otherwise, we manage to pump a town’s worth of water to the top of a tower well enough. From there, gravity can do the rest.

But there’s probably a point where cost for that vs height becomes prohibitive.
