@nigelwhatling I actually agree with that one quite strongly, at a certain rep level you should get automatically opted out of ads as a perk.

@migueldeicaza I liked season 1, but I super did not like season 2. Kinda ruined the series for me. Crazy convoluted cliffhanger ending AGAIN? geez

@letkma @kane Yes, that is true. I was surprised in the 3d scanning there were a few anomalies with the shape of the original that were clearly not intentional, e.g. machining awkwardness

@letkma @kane I wouldn’t say “cheaper”, the machining is actually higher quality and more precise on the re-release due to industry advancements since then.

@paulg It's really pretty simple. 90% of the parenting job is simply showing up. It literally doesn't matter if you do a good job, bad job, whatever, because you won't know until it's far too late if what you did was "right". Showing up. That's the job.
