Lindsay Ellis good a recent video on Nebula analyzing her career in a way that really ends up working well as a post-mortem of Dolly's career. The conclusion is that Dolly Parton was a savvy business woman with good PR and a knack to stay out of politics, but she was also kind and charitable woman who could be the better person despite decades of boob jokes.

I guess he needs to distract from the bad trade deal negotiations with Canada to distract from the illegal war going poorly with Iran.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dave Wiskus asked Lindsay to do that since Lindsay ended up creating a pretty good synopsis of Dolly Parton's career that won't get recreated to that quality for a week and this would be the perfect ad for Nebula.

Honestly, it was a book that should have been two movies. You make the first movie end with Ender's team winning in the academy. You them make the second movie's depiction of the battles more abstract so you prepare the audience for another triumphant win, just to find out that Ender committed a genocide.

Which is why I think a two book adaptation works better in this case.

The movie does a better job in the first half, where the use of Ender is more abstract and the movie can use the extra time to lay out some of Ender's ideas on when to use force. Then, the climax of the movie is Ender winning the final academy battle and setting up expectations in the next movie.

A whole movie focusing on the campaign, obscuring the campaign to make it seem to Ender and the audience that this is more training, and using the first movie's pacing as a way to set up audience expectations. It also gives time for Ender on screen to see this nuance and complexity so the audience comes into the final battle understanding Ender's viewpoint before the rug pull.

This episode was just a ton of fun in To Peak Ah Kan Zas.

Aggregates with a lot of unstable silica like strained quartz can cause the creation of silica gel when exposed to cement. The aggregate supplier should be the one running tests to prove they don't have reactive silica.

Other tests include air entrainment and the slump test. The concrete mix requirements should be chosen by the engineer or architect.

The longevity of concrete isn't just tied to the cylinder break strength.

Also, concrete with certain aggregates end up creating silica gel, which is bad for concrete.

But French has a number problem four twenty ten nine times worse.

Yeah. The worst part is that a lot of engineers and technicians don't fully understand galvanic corrosion when specifying how to attach two different metals together.

Got to make sure I'm providing what OP wants.

I haven't done the first but I've done the second. I don't like the second.

A Boy and His Dog?

It depends. If someone is being very vague about describing a gripe, going back through their history helps get context into what they're complaining about.

Yeah. Or in the worst case, put the money in a savings account now and use the money to pay for part of tuition next semester.

If you're going to be pulling out money in a few months to pay for something, the options you provided aren't going to be liquid in time to do what is necessary.

There are some interesting seeds in general, but I feel like the series would have done a lot better if they kept Romulans as the original villain. It would have even worked after Florida 9/11 had humanity try to find out who attacked them.

There's been a lot to come out where Grey wasn't the best in a lot of business dealings/situations. For instance, Nebula would have been a lot worse if Grey was still in charge.

However, even with that, it is surprising how slow moving this self proclaimed efficiency except is.

Yoshi.

I like Yoshi.
