  1. I’m not going to put this in spoilers because if you’re not caught up and reading this thread, that’s on you. Like most I think Helena didn’t switch to her innie and is herself acting as Helly on the Severed floor. The why is likely 2 fold. 1. I think she doesn’t like her innie. Yeah I agree with the jealousy angle. But also she tried to kill her and as the post credits scene said - she kind of doesn’t see the innies as human. When she sent her messages to her any from the surface, she had some distain in her voice. I just don’t think she likes her. 2. If she was revealed as the CEO’s daughter while in the severed floor, she could become a hostage. And her innie very much would reveal she was the CEO’s daughter on the outside. Heck she might not ever wanna come out.
  2. Will add - you don't need much, while too much will give you problems. I'm looking for a spritzer. now.
  3. Watched the trailer for Flow - in. That looks fantastic. Though I don't know. While that looks amazing, the Academy is too damn US centric. The fact that this is Latvian doesn't bode well for it. And going up against two big studios in Pixar and Dreamworks is going to be a tough one. BTW, this style is called cel-shading. It takes 3d models and through use of much softer rendering "flattens" it to look more 2D.
  4. You know - this could be an acceptable answer. You don't have to defend Elon, you don't have to make excuses, you can just say "I got this before he was a dick" and be done with it. But your run to Whataboutism makes me question you.
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism You know, you can just stay silent when you have no real argument.
  6. - Jean-Paul Sartre This should be the response to anything like this at this point.
  7. MORE CRACKS So quick follow-up on that Stargate kerfuffle. I didn’t realize that Musk was frozen out of the announcement. He’s not there and they had to pull some shenanigans to keep him out of and away from the room. Despite Bannon’s efforts, Musk has a west wing office. As more billionaires lineup with the administration, Musk becomes less important. And making enemies (see that tweet storm) won’t help.
  8. Well we are not there, but there’s an Ordinary World somehow we have to find. And as we try to make our way to that Ordinary World, we will try to survive.

    Sonos thread

    The app being so easy to use and seamless is what made it so great. That the speakers just worked, their connectivity, etc - it’s all software. Their hardware is good, but their software is what makes them shine. I’m not trying to slight the HW, but so long as you have enough storage & RAM and made good design choices, you can software your way out of anything. Ands it’s not just the app, but the firmware on the hardware. That stuff all has to be bulletin proof. It makes me wonder how you guys use your systems. I find the app and other app integration to be invaluable. Also, any Home Assistant users here? Been playing around with better integration of Sonos, wanted to see if anyone had thoughts.
  10. I'm sure Spurs are going to make things interesting, but they get the lowest seeded team in the competition at home to get a bye in the KO stage. So looking at the standings: At 14th, that means they can't be jumped by any team currently sitting on 10 points. That mean theoretically the lowest Spurs can fall is 15th place, so they are guaranteed no worse than being seeded in the playoff round. Get a draw, they can't fall any lower than 12th place - might just be enough for the round of 16 Win - advance to the round of 16
  11. I also put a request to Tottenham to move all of their updates, but especially game updates to Bluesky. Given the club's history, this should be a real no brainer.
  12. I mean seriously, the last decade has really tapped into the spaces that a lot of people have kept hidden for obvious reasons. Now that they are publicly ok to show in some crowds does it really shock you that people are trying to make that crowd bigger? Does it really shock you that some guys on here that were kind of shitty when it came to regular stuff take up for these guys when they finally let it spill out?
  13. One last thing, until he figures it out, can we be done with the Miljevic experience?
  14. Well it's a win
  15. Tired legs. Did you see the defender "jump" it was like 2" off the ground.
  16. Christ, this game is going to run the guys into the ground.
  17. Well I hope this puts it away. I will say this, Son looked tired on BOTH goals. He looks gassed now.
  18. That was the problem - our defenders were behind the ball and kept them onsides.
  19. So I gotta say this was the first time I ever came out of camp cupcake with some good feelings. I think we saw the emergence of some players (namely Agyemang) and some guys really step up with the chance (see Luna). I said it before, it's funny what a little bit of a step up in coaching will do for this team. What we've seen in the past 2 days is a sign that our program is moving in the right direction. I think a lot has to be done to get the rot out of the system, because while I could bag on Berhalter, the real issue is that our federation is still happy with the status quo, until that goes away, we are not going to make "that jump". But maybe this shows there is a way.
  20. UGH. Just more keeping our front line guys out there.
  21. How the hell does that get past VAR? The keep ... Oh, ok, NOW it's going to VAR. Yeah, this is what VAR is supposed to clean up up. This is the keeper making a legit play on a ball. If anything, HE is the protected one.
  22. Yeah, it's a live table, I pulled up the table on Sky Sports to see the pregame standings. I would like 1 more goal then get as many of our front line guys out of there.
