He wasn’t tricked into kneecapping her campaign. Her campaign was being kneecapped by ratfuckery and he was trying to soften it.

Republicans handed something to the FBI that would force them to reopen the case, knowing that it wouldn’t show anything new, just so that they could then wail about the FBI keeping it quiet to help Clinton.

Can’t think of two more fiction shows that I’d put up with those. If panel shows are allowed, 9. QI and 10. Taskmaster.

1. Expanse
2. Person of Interest
3. Pushing Daisies
4. Eureka
5. Breaking Bad
6. Firefly
7. Stargate SG-1
8. The Wire

Big gap between the top two and the rest.

It’s not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It’s functionally just part of the level.

You absolutely do. Somebody getting shot at without real squibs? It’s an assistant director off camera shouting “BANG BANG BANG.” Phone conversation? AD reading the other lines off camera. Complex choreography? Good chance someone is calling cues.

Any audio can be replaced later, and most is no matter what.

Even in live theater, some productions use earwigs so that someone can give cues and adjust things on the fly if they go wrong.

Blahaj has the same color scheme as the trans flag and is cute.

If you are interested in the innards of an adaptation, rambling about old movies, and The Expanse, go watch/listen to Ty and That Guy. It is one of the authors of the series and one of the actors from the show going through it episode by episode talking about production, what doesn’t work, why certain things changed, etc.

I have the Libra 2 and love it. Nice thumb rail with page-turning buttons. Doesn’t need jailbreaking to install KOReader or do whatever else I want.

Both Mistborn ages are really tight, making them easy reads. Intriguing magic, moving story, great characters.

Stormlight has all the same elements, but it lets every character have their own storyline. It’s sprawling. It lets you see more sides of it.

Earthsea is beautiful. There aren’t very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.

The claim that they are doing a clean-room implementation is bullshit. The only way any of these models are able to make any working code is by being trained on every bit of code that could be scraped from the internet. Unless the project you are cloning was released after the model was trained, it was trained on the code. It may be a tiny fragment of the training data, but it still saw it.

Jr High teacher, so they’d be a few years past being her students. Age gap is problematic, but I don’t see any school-related abuse of power there.

My players like imagining insane cruelty ahead of them. I say three words, then sit there looking like this for five minutes as I listen to them write their own doom.

I usually don’t do the terrible things they imagine.
