That's still most likely, but the sign in the middle of the frame makes it look like it is saying "no left turns", but the other signage makes it seem like it is a one way street going the from right to left.

It honestly gets more confusing the more I notice.

You can bake the dough most way first, then load it up with the sauce, cheese and toppings before finishing the bake.

I've used Pocket Cast for a long time now. I bought it probably about 10 years ago. It recently went open source.

I'm different. The appeal of owning the game on cartridge to me is to have the entire game on the cartridge. If any significant portion is downloadable only, I see no reason to not just download the whole thing.

I can understand your argument completely though. It just feels like a waste of material to me when the cartridge doesn't carry the game(s) itself.

Off topic, but this here really hit home for me (not a linguist student but someone plenty interested).

Digg didn't "die" from a single change. It bled users over the course of multiple changes. The size of the waves was based on how many users were affected. The big wave was when they redesigned the whole interface.

I don't think Reddit is done changing, so we'll see where things go. I know that eventually they'll kill off the old interface, and that will lose a large portion of users as well.

He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy.

The big problem is the short shelf life of RBs. The average younger RB in the NFL is better than the average older RB in the NFL. As consequence of the position, they take a beating, and that beating shortens their careers.

When it comes to working with the cap, the value for almost every RB in the league isn't there. There aren't too many Adrian Petersons in the league. No matter how good these guys are when they sign, teams know that, in two to three years, that value will disappear.

Fans were calling this out when Ezekiel Elliott got his big contract, and they were proven right in that case.

I agree. But I think the largest problem is how much single-use plastics we have. It is ridiculous to me that we've gotten to the place we are with single-use plastics. The strength of plastics is their durability and longevity, and we've collectively decided that we should largely use them as temporary packaging.

I find it funny that I see Tiamat's Wrath as the weakest of the final three. I still think it is really good, but it still felt mainly like a bridge between Persepolis Rising and Leviathan Falls to me.

I really liked Persepolis Rising. I liked the down ending, but that could also be why many don't like it.
And then Leviathan Falls has a very good ending. It felt right. The main characters had their threads closed up in a way that shows their character. Holden goes a very Holden way. Alex finally chooses family over space. Amos is weirder than ever but acts as if it is completely normal.

Actually now that I think of it while writing, I may be coming around. Tiamat's Wrath had the most badass Bobbie moments ever. While it still may not be my favorite book, anyone who read the book will know which Bobbie event would likely be one of the greatest sci-fi episodes ever.
