The Pacers being able to keep up the pace (heh) even when their bench unit is in is what will allow them to give the Thunder a better matchup compared to the Knicks.

I guess it was a way to get us, the viewers, to guess that WLC was attacking their village?
Yeah, which was a weird way to do it. They could’ve just showed a quick scene of Isaac and co. storming the island then Ellie seeing some explosions from the boat.
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 1 day ago:
What tripped me up in the last few episodes was how characters magically teleport to places and appear at the exact time they’re needed. I get that some of them happen exactly as in the game, but it’s weird in live action. Examples: Ellie getting out of the basement and Abby finding them in the theater.
Also, that segway on the Scar island in the last episode was weird. I get that they were trying to show she was given a chance at life yet she decides to continue on due to her obsession with revenge, but they could’ve done it better than that (i.e. She sees the explosions on the island from afar, the boat capsizes, she manages to get back on with a slight regret and hesitation to continue, looks at the shore of where she came from, then ultimately decides to continue on to the aquarium).

That’s the plan for the future. It’s easy to switch to induction for cooking. The bigger and more expensive switch are the A/C and water heater, which I need to assess (and budget) for.

The worst for me is my gas bill. My bill is usually around $50-$60 per month, and when you break it down, the actual gas I use is $3. The rest are fees.

- Comment on Who here's watched house of dragon s2? 3 days ago:
My issues with S2 is the plot barely moved and we’re basically back to square one where S1 ended. Sure they needed to set up some stuff, but you don’t need an entire season just for that. S1’s pacing was better.

This can actually still be convenient if you need to be physically at work 5 days a week. No more commuting and waking up early in the morning except on Mondays. If you want to skip Monday traffic, take a quick drive on Sunday to your office so you meet the 24 hour criteria.

Someone else already mentioned it, but virustotal can check if the url is malicious. It’s not 100% of course but more often than not it will catch a malicious url. It’s a quick and easy way to check on-the-fly.

- Comment on [Game Threads] 23 May 2025 Conference Finals 4 days ago:
IMO the Pacers are more capable than the Knicks to go toe-to-toe with the Thunder. I’m a neutral in this series and I love how close the games are, but if OKC ends up going to the finals, I’d rather the Pacers take them on.

Absolutely. This along with Rogue One are the best Star Wars content that have ever been made. Some episodes might feel dragging, but trust that it’s all worth it once you finish it.
- Comment on George R. R. Martin's New Announcement Has Finally Made Me Accept He's Never Finishing The Winds Of Winter 5 days ago:
I think that’s true that the show ended the way he was supposed to do it. But my theory is that he told the showrunners what the ending should be, but didn’t elaborate how the story should get there (because he hadn’t written it yet), so the show did it themselves and executed it terribly.
IMO there’s nothing bad about how everything and everyone ends up in the show. It’s how they got there and how it hastily done that made it bad. If his fear is that people will hate the book because it has the same ending, I think it would still work if the events leading up to it are written better.

- Comment on Thunder bludgeon Nuggets in Game 7 blowout 1 week ago:
Nuggets have serious reflection to do this off-season. Everyone except Gordon and Braun (and Jokic of course) should up for trade. They only got this far because of Jokic and Gordon’s heroics and it hid a lot of the team’s deficiencies for the past 2 years.

General advice before was to wait until you’ve signed the contract and have a start date before quitting your current job. Now you have to wait until you actually start the new job before you quit the old one?
