Have you ever wanted Too Much Information about watch order recommendations for Gundam?

https://ani.social/comment/8014698

tl;dr I recommend production order for Universal Century stuff. For alternate universe stuff it mostly doesn't matter, though they do build on tropes etc from earlier shows.

It's a big franchise. Don't let that be intimidating. You don't have to watch it all lol.

...we'll call it a draw.

The grates allow cool air to be forced up in front of racks. Unless your company cheaped out on datacenter construction, picked a room too small, didn't leave room for the ramp to get up to proper height without breaking code on the incline, and had to rig a half-height raised floor that barely left room for electric, let alone proper air flow, so there had to be a huge air handler on top of the unit to blow cold air in the wrong places. And then bought a generator that wasn't beefy enough to cover the AC, so every time the power went out it's a mad scramble to put rolling units in place to keep the room at ~90F.

And all of the brass thought themselves geniuses for saving a few dollars.

Honest question - does he not participate in local races? Endorsements, rallies, etc.? I'm not a local so I don't know for sure. I would be very surprised if he does not.

Also, what does the local scene look like? Are progressive independents the norm? Or, just like the national stage, is Bernie the exception? We're talking about someone who has overcome tremendous odds to be an outlier in a FPTP duopoly. He's a statistical anomaly.

He's spent his entire career leading by example. Did nobody follow? Or did they try, and run up against the same barriers that keep the status quo the status quo? These are honest questions on my part.

Just the thought "I should've been able to do this better"

That, or "there's twenty other things that still need to be done." Or, ya know, both. No feelings of progress, no satisfaction, just another step forward on the hamster wheel.

For anyone out there that can't relate to this, I'm glad. I hope it stays that way.

he's done a great job, he deserves a vacation and the opportunity to write his memoirs

There's no vacation/retirement from social justice. All the things that riled you up and made you fight back against the ownership class are going to go on as they were. You can't just sit back and relax. Do I think he deserves some peace and quiet? Of course. Is he going to get any? Sadly, I don't believe so. He's been fighting the good fight his entire life...

there should be someone younger at the ready to take the mantle.

...and that includes leading by example. Him stepping back doesn't mean we get a younger Bernie as a replacement. He's been doing this long enough that there should be plenty of younger Bernies, not even waiting in the wings, but in active government. But there aren't. The closest we got is AOC. And we could use a few dozen like her.

Bernie isn't holding anyone back. It would be odd if he was. When he goes, he's likely to be replaced by a milquetoast neolib at best.

May your wedding towels be full of nutrients!

 

This one has been bugging me for awhile, so I don't know when it started. But images in-line in the text portion of posts show at their original resolution, and do not scale down.

Example: https://50501.chat/post/19511

Etc

Possibly related, images that are wider than they are tall don't scale down in comments.
