Grenno Link ParentDo you get a discount for Centipede if you already paid for Millipede? Is one more valuable than the other? I also can't wrap my mind around basing anything on these IPs.Do you get a discount for Centipede if you already paid for Millipede? Is one more valuable than the other?

I was pretty upset with how slow season 2 was with what felt like a lot of repetitive filler scenes knowing the real life story of that shortened season. It seems like they are at a better pace now, but I guess I should be a bit more reserved to see how this one ends. And while I'm on Westeros, I could always appreciate some more A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, where smaller stories can be just as meaningful.
I'm also rewatching The Gentlemen to remind myself for the eventual season 2 drop. I guess I just like Guy Ritchie films and television work? He hits a formula that just works for me, and the actors get to show off with some charismatic performances and features some over the top villains. Has plenty of shocking violence for a show that is largely a dark comedy, but thats kind of Ritchie's thing. I also enjoyed the movie after watching the series.

Grenno LinkI started air frying up some kale after having it as a side at a Thai place. Kind of a lot of work for how little you get back, but its a nice snack.I started air frying up some kale after having it as a side at a Thai place.

And a lot of that week was learning how to use it. I don't think people can't compete, but it certainly allowed me to use a different part of my brain to solution it out, I did feel like a PM kind of.
I also learned very little on the dev side of it which I feel a little guilty for. It did a good amount of the busy work I already understood, but the stuff I would have had to research I just trusted it implicitly and it worked. It did explain pretty well what it was doing conceptually, but I didn't dwell on it too long since I was on crunch time.

Inbred Cannibal horror is basically a sub-genre and it typically focuses on isolated communities away far away from help.

Like I said, I don't really buy the supernatural cannibals being some kind of dog whistle.
I loved the first 2 seasons of White Lotus, 3rd didn't really do much for me.

Looks like there's going to be an 85% reduction in fees to dissuade it among some other changes.
Pretty astounding to think they would approve those kind of judgements for just $115 per case.

That phrase already felt like a ted talk tagline pitch anyways, always right before they tried to sell me on something.

I know they touted the match engine updates, was that very noticeable?
Its that obfuscation part that disappoints me the most, and its pretty damning to me. Mainly because it goes against the entire premise of the author's intent, a very Bob move. So does the author not really believe what they write, or do they make exceptions for themselves because its just that easy, and they don't want the backlash?
In any case you know they will update claude's memory to not ever touch quotes going forward.
