I really don’t understand it. I’ve played a little of both Dota & LoL and it’s the same group of miserable pricks. Is there a moba that doesn’t have a lethally toxic player base?

I’m not sure at what point it happened, but the big white tent quickly became an icon for the series, too. Pretty early on the bakers talk about being in awe of “the actual tent”. At this point we must ask ourselves - is it truly baking if you’re not in a tent?
Also, tangentially related - I’m a fan of having the weather play a part. No, normally you wouldn’t be baking in a thunderstorm at 40°C @ 200% humidity, buuuuuut the drama makes for some good watchin’. Yep, they’d have an easier time in a dedicated indoor space. That’s boring. Show me how an opera cake handles a summer day.

Might have an answer, as a fan of the show:
In the first season they toured around a bit instead of setting up shop in the backyard of a mansion. It was a neat idea. I wager the initial intention was to celebrate the locations many of the bakes came from as well as the food itself. Mel & Sue would wander around the town interviewing bakers and talking about the history of whatever the bakers were making.
But I imagine the logistics of moving a giant tent every episode with a dozen mini-kitchens in it wasn’t worth the hassle. Season 2 was the first time they set up behind a mansion.
I think they stuck with it because it’s relatively easy to rent some space in a field somewhere scenic and set up shop. Different locations keeps things fresh, and the gentle “nature” aesthetic matches the vibe of the show (imo).

I love it. It’s definitely an artsy-fartsy kind of movie, but the animation is gorgeous, the story’s charming, and I constantly have the song stuck in my head.

Neat! For a moment I thought it was Dot Matrix off “Reboot”
- Comment on Do they still offer shadows to shadow their work and learn a trade you want to try? Or is that the old days? I thought it would be neat to be an Electrician. 1 month ago:
I think there’s a difference - “shadowing” a person is a short-term thing (couple days to a week? Maybe more?) where you want to get a taste of the trade, vs. an “apprenticeship” where it’s treated more like a part-time job with responsibilities.

Soooooo by purchasing a copy of Subnautica 2 we could make a big, shitty company shell out $250 mil to the developers?
Not interested in the game, but I do like the sound of that.

It’s not about the value these employees have to the company, it’s about control. If your workforce knows you’ll waste money on PIs to tail you when you’re sick, they think twice about calling in.
Somewhere in that office is a power-tripping manager.

Terribly curious to hear the details. “Some hackers did something with some data and crippled a large car company” is about all I got out of that article.
