I’ve been considering switching my PC over to Linux as well. Would you recommend it from your experience? Anything you’d do differently if you could?

Correct. That all happened in Paths. It’s all still “real” in that they do actually talk to each other before the end (all Eldians are connected to each other through Paths). It just didn’t happen in the physical world is all.

The cabin scene happens in the Paths same as the Armin meeting. It’s Eren and Mikasa “dreaming” of the life they weren’t able to have together. Similar to Eren and Armin visiting the far away places they had dreamed of when reading Armin’s book together.

The cabin scene would’ve happened in a timeline where Mikasa had confessed her feelings to Eren when they were in Marley together. When Mikasa calls him family. If Mikasa had confessed her feelings instead, Eren would’ve left everything behind to go and live in peace for the last four years Eren had left before his Titan timer ran out. Of course as a result, in that hypothetical timeline, Eren doesn’t go forward with the rumbling and he therefore gives up his ability to guarantee his friends’ safety.

The thing is, there is no alternate timeline in AOT. The future Eren saw when kissing Historia’s hand was the only timeline that would happen. Mikasa wouldn’t confess her feelings, Armin and Eren wouldn’t be able to look at the wonders of the world together, and Eren would always follow through with the Rumbling, dooming himself while saving his friends in the process.

Since the power to wipe memories doesn’t work on Mikasa, it would’ve happened right at the end just before Mikasa knew Eren’s head was in the mouth.

Watched this one last night before going to bed. Woke up this morning and haven’t been able to think of anything else today. The show nailed it. I generally liked the ending when I read the manga, but seeing it all animated last night, I can’t think of this story being told any other way. It was perfect for me.

The OP article looks like it’s sourced from this article from Politico. In it, the only quotes attributed to Vivek on this topic directly are the following:

Yet, the H-1B system is “bad for everyone involved,” Ramaswamy told POLITICO.

“The lottery system needs to be replaced by actual meritocratic admission. It’s a form of indentured servitude that only accrues to the benefit of the company that sponsored an H-1B immigrant. I’ll gut it,” he said in a statement, adding that the U.S. needs to eliminate chain-based migration.

“The people who come as family members are not the meritocratic immigrants who make skills-based contributions to this country.”

I guess, based on the above, I agree with Vivek here. I’d want to know specifics to what other detailed changes he’d support, but I’m not sure most people in the US would have an issue with the above sentiment. Interested to hear others’ thoughts.

This was a frustrating article to read. It didn’t give me any policy information about the old/new candidates and spent the whole time talking about how the two losers lost because of scandals and discontent by voters with the city council. I basically have no idea if the headline is true or not because I didn’t get any info to tell me otherwise.

Might just be me, but it seemed like her whole demeanor changed too after she came back from WBW. A lot more upbeat and funny - just like she was in clone wars.

Surely it’s not the last we see of Hayden this series, right?

Thanks for posting. With this peacock streaming nonsense in the US, I’m stuck just catching highlights when I’m away from home.

Thanks for the update! Enjoying the app so far. Looking forward to what you have in store for the future.

Are you putting together/have you shared a more detailed roadmap for what you’re tracking to accomplish during this beta phase of the app?

I turned the game on late around the 85th minute. Looked like Germany was having a hard time moving the ball forward & then injuries/slowdowns in stoppage time just killed any momentum left.

I did have some connection issues maybe ~7-10 days ago (would fall under the article’s time frame). I’d have to unplug/replug my phone to get it to work. I didn’t think much since I’ve had the problem in the past that ended up being a bad cable. Haven’t had to do that in about 3-4 days now though so can’t really conclude anything.

On a related note though, Android Auto and Mazda’s rotary dial don’t always work the best. Waze is hit or miss with the controls which is a damn shame. AA itself is a bit cumbersome to navigate. Just one of those I have to get used to I guess.

Just finished up Assassin’s Creed 2 - my all-time favorite game but first time playing since I had my Xbox 360. I remembered the free-running/parkour being a bit finicky but this time around it was just infuriating. Also had a hard time with some of the controls being bound correctly (navigating the map being the worst offender). I still recommend the game because the campaign, the modern day story, and the historical conspiracies sub-plot are just too good IMO. I just also found a good chunk of my time spent yelling at Ezio to jump where I wanted him to go.

Started up Dinkum for some casual play - just have an hour or so played but seems to be good so far. Not sure how much I’ll play of it - I get kind of bored with this style of game. Looking for some pointers with getting started. (Same thing happened with Stardew Valley for me)

Spyro Reignited has been really fun to pickup for quick play sessions. I do get more stutters than I’d expect on the Deck when loading levels. Think my graphics are all set to medium so prob need to tinker to get those smoothed out. Definitely recommend this game though.

Yeah I agree. What jumps out to me is that the other rep on this openly supports the Saturday closures, while Decker says… nothing? She really can’t say whether or not she supports it? Doesn’t take a big stretch to read between the lines there that she’s against but just doesn’t want to take the political flak from saying it.

Excited more like - should be a quality match.
