    The Good Place

    I really enjoyed that ending. This was an incredible series. I kind of wish they used the same makeup people for Kristen from the show for the aftershow. She looked a lot older than expected. But I guess that's just the makeup. All in all, this was an incredible show, and I'm glad it hooked...

    It's a very reasonable assumption. Makes sense. I'm still digging the show a lot.

    I liked this week's Bofuri. The pets are clearly some kind of OP creature, but they just seem adorable for now. That said, the episode seemed to go really quick. I'm surprised the eggs hatched that quick... I guess they'll need them for going against #6. Or maybe they'll encounter #1?

    That doesn't sound good. Both the show and your analogy.

    Rick and Morty

    The first episode was Edge of Tomorty, Rick Die Rickpete. This is the one where Morty had this probability device he stuck into his forehead so he could end up marrying Jessica and they die together. Rick dies and his respawn ends up going through countless different versions of himself to find...

    "Bumblebee" Transformers spin-off starring John Cena

    Yeah. Transformers was originally an English series. Not Japanese. So the Japanese voice actors are no better than English voice actors for any anime.

    Watching the first episode right now. Not sure where BOFURI came from, but HorribleSubs has it listed as "Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu". Really long name on that one. Anyway, it appears that whoever created the show (or light novels?) is a DPS MMO player...

    It's pretty much the same as Naruto. So it's beginners anime. I watched the first around 25-30 episodes, but got bored because nothing of any seriousness ever happened. Like... we need to track down a missing cat or deliver the mail because the post office had someone that quit. It's a bunch...

    Did any of you read the novels of Solo Leveling? God damn was that a good story. There are 270 "chapters". The manga right now is about 3/4 of the way through chapter 120. There's SO MUCH more to go. God damn was this a good series. In other news, I'm finally getting around to reading...

    The Prepper Thread

    Anthony Cumia used to have this big Go Bag, in case shit ever really hits the fan on a state or country level. Realistically, he's in New York, so he's probably a gonner anyway, but he can still hope.

    Regarding episode 2, I really liked it. For High King Margo, I wanted to find a good picture to show this, but here's a random one instead. Plot is evolving. I'm glad it didn't somehow turn into current Julia and/or Allison deep throating 12-Year old Quentin. You never can be sure with...

    You should have her try Baby Steps. That's a badass series. I hear they're going to make a live action version of it soon, but then again... I heard that a few years ago. Looks like the live-action thing was cancelled also. Oh well, I really liked the anime.

    Woah woah woah. You put tomato condiment on eggs?! What the fuck man. That's just nasty. Eggs are reserved for pepper, maybe a little salt. Oh, and soy sauce if you want. Mayo and tomato condiment can just get the fuck out of this discussion.

    I got a chance to watch Episode 1 last night. Really good startup for this season. I didn't understand the whole women's empowerment thing. Why was that character even part of the show? Oh well, that's a minor gripe. Julia looks hotter than shit, yet again. And didn't someone say she's...

    Car ?'s

    His damage doesn't factor into the totaled flag. And it's possible that the bumper and other body parts for your vehicle were no longer easily available. Meaning that the shop would have to pay more. That's why your vehicle could have been almost totaled. The $6500 damage estimate was for...

    Car ?'s

    Reason why a car like that would be almost totaled is because the cost to repair it was almost more than the car was currently worth. At the time, the 2002 Chevy Impala probably was valued around $7k. Especially with 105k miles. That's why it was almost totaled with only $6500 in damage...

    I was in the car at the time. And the guy that hit me called the police. But he's still disputing the accident, which is why it's a pain in the ass.

    Car ?'s

    Someone ran into my new minivan a few days ago, and is disputing that he hit me, even though my car was in park at the time of the accident. Good times. Anyway, insurance sent someone out to do an appraisal on the damages, and that guy explained how Tesla style vehicles (almost any new...

    You just described capitalism. The government is good at creating unknown technology because it has unlimited budget and the time table isn't counted in 3-month increments. You are allowed to project at how expensive a project will become (and not hit that number), and NEVER have a goal of...

    Book 20 was a slow book. Very slow. Realistically, you could probably jump ahead to the battle chapters and not miss anything. Just a little back story, but it doesn't effect the outcome at all. 21 is also mostly slow, but it turns into my favorite book of the series. It also reminds...

    And as of now, I've just completed the final issue in this series. Book 24 "Conclusion". It's a very quick read. Maybe 2 hours total. And it's also nothing at all like any of the previous chapters. The series pretty much ends with book 23. Then 24 just gives "this also happened later on"...

    Surprisingly, it isn't "too" expensive as a resident of Hawaii to attend UH. Did a quick google search. https://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/hawaii/university-of-hawaii-at-manoa/price/ I can remove the housing cost because I only live around 20 minutes away from the school. Good stuff.

    If you're able to do 100% of all GE classes with CLEP, what type of realistic time reduction would you be for a standard Bachelors degree? (IE: 4-years) And because the "new" students start in August, I have 7 months to tear threw CLEP and accumulate as many credits as possible ahead of time.

    Indeed. Isn't it strange that you're required to take general education classes for every degree? Why don't they have "fast track" classes that eliminate the busy work classes that won't help your chosen degree only to focus on the meat of it?
