Brain Drain

I’m not one to have a solution. I started saving boxes in the 70’s…still have some of them.

Amazon driver forgot this across the road.
They were swapping packages between vehicles and see them leave. See this cart sitting there.
Called and lady got very confused about what I was talking about.
Supposed to come back today or tomorrow.

Important piece of equipment there. Probably swearing everytime they need it and can’t find it.

Nah, they probably have a rack bay full of those at the Shipping Center. So, they just grabbed another one off the rack, signed a form and tossed it in the van.

Maybe they will eventually come for it, but odds are they really don’t have the time to mess with it.

Gave the cart to the first driver that showed up.

Received and setup the new TV yesterday.
After researching I went with the club store model of the Sony X90 65 inch.
It had the better all around reviews, performance, and less reported issues then others I was looking at.

Swapped the one that was going bad for the one in the living room the new tv replaced.

Only two things not to fond of so far is the cable signal is not to great looking until the tv warms up (though that is probably because my area’s cable is not the best) and everything simple like moving apps around seems to have a extra unnecessary button push needed.

Setup all my apps and unlike the Roku did not have to fiddle with the subtitle settings.

Plus now don’t need the soundbar as the new tv is quite loud. 10 is about the same as 25 on the old tv. My pops is quite hard of hearing and was like why is it so loud.

Recently, I read through all 12 released volumes of Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun, and then went to watch my DVD copy, and it made me notice something. There are times that anime will cut content from the source to fit the number of episode for the season.

I had noticed the same with Skip Beat (Which BTW, I’m surprised I can pre-order two volumes at this time, it seems on Google Play Books, you can pre-order Viz released title all the way to December, they seems to be on a 6 month period for putting up pre-releases right now) though the cut content there is MUCH more extreme.

Monthly Girls’ not only had cut content, but I’m certain the 4-Koma format required them to add content to fit the standard length episode. The festival episode however (last one for HiDive viewers as HiDive doesn’t have the specials, which can be treated as episode 13, which is what the manga jumped to after the festive BTW) actually ended after Nozaki took a bite of Chiyo’s apple. Flashback aside, EVERYTHING after that moment was anime original.. The end result of the cut content is that Nozaki’s brother is seen in the montage during the credits. Oh, remember what I said about cut content. All chapters with Nozki’s brother were cut from the anime! So he never got a VA as a result of this.

Turing back to Skip Beat, the cut content amounts to about 1 volume. They skipped an entire arc! The end result is again, there’s a character who appears in the ending montage but anime only fans won’t know who it is when they appear (and doesn’t have a VA either). The anime changed some things around as a result of them cutting out the arc, in that Moko did not see Squirrel Kyoto. I’m sure there was cut content from before, but it most likely was bonus bits that don’t effect the story if cut (and was not seen by anyone reading the monthly chapters, but didn’t get the compiled volumes). The missing arc focused on Moko however, so that may be why the anime skipped to the Dark Moon arc.

Related to Monthly Girls’ getting extra stuff because the source is 4-koma, I’m certain that is the case with K-On! with how the source is 4 volumes!

I was a teen during the 90’s I think the majority of the bands that were big then were “I’m depressed songs”.

Except for the first 4 headliners, and Weezer, only 3 of them ring a bell for me. I’ll consider that a win, as I’m sure none of these acts are really in my wheelhouse. Kinda says something that vintage acts MCR and Green Day are still headliners.

The only “Cochise” that I know is this one :smiley:
