Just watched food wars. It's basically food porn in every sense of the phrase, but it's a fun distraction. I was enjoying it a lot until the final episodes (felt like it got bogged down a little bit covering so many dishes one after another). I honestly ended up liking the training camp arc the most, and enjoyed Tadokoro's character and her arc way more than Soma's. I know that it's getting a second season, but honestly I'm not as excited for it as my enjoyment with S1 would imply, just because I feel as though Soma needs to lose to keep it interesting and I haven't seen any indication that they're willing to do that (plus Tadokoro's arc is more or less over imo, so my favorite character will fade into the background :suckup:)
@Mad Mat
"It implies multiple critical parts."
So there are multiple critical parts, but if one of them fails, the all fail at the same time?
Imagine a Jenga tower. Technically there are a bazillion critical points of potential failure. They don't all have to fail to bring the tower down. Only one does and it tends to take several others with it due to shifts in support and weight.
(Note: before you ask, no this is not a direct parallel with the WTC towers, only an example of how something can have multiple points of failure but only one need fail to set off a chain reaction where multiple fail in quick succession)
That 1/2 inch piece of steel, has been in a furnace for 30min, and it was not melted.
And see how it bent, not collapsed in on its self.....
His example was him choosing to direct force on only one side. In an actual tower, the forces(particularly on horizontal crossbeams) are being applied on both sides, which would likely cause it to bend in the middle or "collapse in on itself".
I'd say take a break and use those hours to do something less stressful. I stopped playing the last month due to connection problems and have found all sorts of new and less headache inducing ways to waste my time
How did the monster know so much about Fitz and Simmons? Does it obtain the memories of its host? How did it know about the no fly zone. How did it make it through the portal without anyone noticing? How did this single creature bring down all these other civilizations? Kill the leaders and take on their identities? I dunno, they built up so much mystique around this creature, and then underwhelmed it all by making it go down super easy
Quirkiness - You're overthinking this. Thinking about what is to come in a relationship is going to ruin what you already have.
Enjoy what you have, and try to take things as they come. Becoming neurotic about it is only going to strain the relationship and any potential future friendship. It's really important that you don't confuse what you think should happen with what actually has to happen. I'm actually sad for you guys that you didn't get more time together because of the artificial constraints you put on the potential relationship. It sounds like you really care about her, and the reality is that you'll regret what you didn't do more than what you did.
You should definitely talk to your girlfriend about these concerns, see what she says. Don't discount a long-distance relationship, my wife and I spent a total off three of the twelve years we've been together across the country from one another. It's never fun, but if she's as great as you think she is, she'd be worth it. Skype and Facetime have made the distance a lot less of a problem in recent years, too. We just kept a Skype call open so we could talk whenever. It would have been the worst mistake of my life if we didn't even try when she moved away, and a lot of couples break-up because it's what they believe has to happen instead of just following how they feel.
I'm not saying follow her across the country blindly. I'm saying give your relationship a chance, because breaking up in your head now to save yourself pain later never works, you're still hurt later and you've ruined the time you'd have together now. There is no timeframe on when the break-up/marriage has to happen. My wife and I dated for nine years before we got married. It worked because we loved one another, and while the distance, lack of money or inability to move forward with marriage was rough, it was ultimately worth it because I didn't break up with my best friend just because things got hard. This was also the third time my wife and I dated - a break-up doesn't have to be the end forever, sometimes it just means that one or both of you needs time to mature before trying again.
If neither of you think you're ready for a long distance relationship, talk about it. If the answer is 'I need someone nearby', 'it's too much work' or 'I don't think I could stay faithful', that's one thing. If the answer boils down to 'I'll miss you too much and I think it'll just be painful', that's a very different thing.
Thanks. This is very reassuring. I think the part that makes this hardest at the moment is that I don't really know much about relationships and how they work, so I don't know when the right time to raise concerns are and when to just let things go. You suggested bringing up my concerns, is there a good time to do this sort of thing? Is this many months out too early? I don't want to create a problem if there isn't one.
I think my sense of caution works against me in these cases
Thanks for the responses guys. I definitely understand that this isn't a reason to break up right now. My question is whether my concerns are things I should be bringing up with my girlfriend now, or is it better just to wait until they are more of an immediate concern?
The animation was some of (if not) the best I've ever seen. Basically any landscape shot could have passed for a high quality landscape photo. The Dinosaur animation wasn't quite as distracting as I expected and the way dinosaur society was evolving was cool. That said, they really could have done with some dinosaur "extras" because the world felt very empty. The plot also was exceptionally simple. A few tear-jerker moments, but definitely not on the same level as Inside Out overall. Reminded me a lot of Brave (great animation, weaker story than Pixar's usual)
So, my best friend and I are both undergrad seniors and finally decided to officially start dating. The thing is that both of us hold the same philosophy that when you date you either end up married or you break up (and neither of us is planning on marrying any time soon). This was one of the reasons we didn't choose to "date" prior to now. It has been a wonderful experience thus far, but in the back of my mind I'm really nervous about what will happen come graduation. My girlfriend already has a job lined up across the country while I'm still looking for any offer at all. I like her a lot, but if I'm not able to find a job in a similar place, I can't think of any outcome other than a break-up (I don't want her or I to feel tethered to each other if we're living over 12 hours apart). My concern is that both of us agreed when we started this that however this ended we would stay friends afterward, however I am worried that that promise might be forgotten when the time finally comes (especially if I end up with an option to follow, but take a better offer elsewhere).
I guess what I'm asking is: should I be worried about this when graduation is still so far out? Should I be talking about this with her already (we only made it official about a week ago), or is it better to wait until the issue is more imminent? This is the first time I've been in a relationship that has lasted more than a week, so I'm a little lost on how to handle this sort of thing.
I love this argument, socialism doesn't work, and yet China the biggest Socialist nation the world has ever known owns how much of the US? Tell me again how it doesn't work?
Depends on your definition of socialism. I certainly wouldn't classify it as such.
But didn't the team have sunlight before everything happened? The show made a big deal of showing the sun going down in that final scene.
Nah, that was just supposed to be a signal of doom setting in. They never said anything about having sun at first, only that NASA sent them with solar panels (which were useless)
Was in elementary school on the playground when my mom came and said I was going home early. Sitting in the living room with my little brother, I remember my mom on the phone while the planes crashing showed on the TV. Didn't realize at the time how much that disaster would change the world.
I was particularly concerned about this when I heard it happened because my dad is YOLOing it up in China for the month. But he was in Hong Kong, so all is good.
Do they know what caused the explosions?
The general consensus at the moment is that a fire started near a warehouse that housed several volatile chemicals. The fire is suspected to have started at a nearby petrol station and spread to the warehouse where either the fire or the firemen trying to put it our set off some of the chemicals, leading to the explosions.
You can't hop into a conversation where people are discussing OPEC and petroleum and then cite hemp oil. They are two completely different products
